the world from my point of view
Merva The fresh paint in the forward birth looks awesome. Deerhorn The guys poured 2″ of concrete over the slab today. This, fresh concrete, is already looking like an awesome new floor. They will cut lines in it around the edges (so it will float) and also across the main areas so it looks like…
Moderna Valerie and I received our (first) shot for COVID today. We ended up getting Moderna. Merva I had prepared the forward berth for some paint and varnish but I did not get the varnish (and some of the paint) until today. I put varnish on the floor (previously just bare wood). Maggie/Mavis I have…
Removed the tender (named Erin) from Merva at the request of the canvas guy. I decided to clean it and possible do some paint & varnish work on it. Cohabitators are back. The bats have surely returned (they do every year. The tarp above the boat makes this a non-issue. Otters are running about but,…
Met with the surgeon today. Everything is super fine. Big thanks for Dr. Sidky and the team around him! We talked about what I can do with the knee going forward and he was like – ‘do what you want but high impact stuff will shorten the life’. So cycling – even long distance –…
Deerhorn The NuHeat is down and things are ready for the concrete guys. All other contractors on-hold until the concrete is down and finished. Knee My knee is healing nicely. I am definitely getting lazy about the targeted exercise but I am putting it to use.
It has been a very long time since the Girls were last to see the dentist. They arrived ready to answer their COVID questionnaire and to get a check up. It seems that Mavis’ favourite ‘safe place’ is with Molly on Molly;s bed. In 4 months Maggie will be moving out (for school) and Molly…
Knee Summer weather has finally arrived. I have been out for a number of bike rides (on Molly’s mountain bike). Seems the knee is now meeting my minimum expectations (cycling and walking). Ache is modest so no need for any pain meds at all now. Nice! Merva Its now warm enough that I can resume…
Merva/Coding Made a fresh attempt at getting back into some coding. The previous attempt failed because the low-level ache in my knee was just too distracting – not too mention trying to not drink any Coca Cola! Anyway; spent a nice day at the dock at the Farm coding. Took some time to fill the…
A milestone today – the top and bottom floors each have their own 100amp service now.
Knee The knee continues to come along nicely. I have been out for two bicycle rides in the past week. I have been using Molly’s mountain bike on the easiest gear. Still a bit of a test for the knee considering the hills in Sandy Hook. Pain killers are down to one Advil at bedtime…
