I might try giving Ray a call Saturday.

I just tried calling Ray but only got his machine. If I hear anything I will post it here.

Evening Yard!

The runt is no longer the runt. She gave birth on Wednesday. A tiny baby boy. He was a bit premature so he will be in NICU for a little bit to catch up. Otherwise healthy though.

Congrats Grandpa !!!

Congratulations to ALL of you. Here’s to health and happiness all the days to come.

Howdy Ho little doggies. Well the Old Skunk is no longer gonna (hopefully) rest on his laurels. There’s nothing wrong with me but me.

I’ve started today HOPEFULLY walking a mile or two almost every day (weather and health permitting). Well I’ll probably take off on Sunday. BUT I am tired of being tired after a rather lite day of shopping for/with Patty. IT HAS TO STOP. And I’m gonna do my best to NOT give up/in. Setting in my recliner to much is a sure way to make sure I don’t get to see my 8th decade (I’m 9 more years) of life. I like living and buying more guns and knives.

Now I’ve just got to convince myself to get out and do it. Once it becomes a habit I’ll have it made. But before that…

Keep at it Skunk, and know that you're not alone.

I’m gonna try Tom. IF I don’t start out to fast I think I’ll be OK. Plus using a tall hiking staff helps quite a bit.

Good morning Scrap Yard.

Well day two is over (halfway at least). I will probably try another one this afternoon. My infamous apple health walking detector said I walked 1.07 miles so far. By my best guess it took me 18 minutes to complete. Not the best in the world, but I’m not trying out for the United States Olympics Speedwalking team. I’m just an old fat out of shape man trying to keep my body moving so I can keep my body moving.

Have I felt tired after walking, well yeah. But it’s not the same tired I felt before. Before I just felt Blah. No energy, no gumption to do anything but set on my asterisk . It’s a good tired that I recover from fairly quickly. It feels good.

Since Patty won’t let me climb ladders any more, or mow the lawn or much of anything where I might fall down (I ALWAYS walk with one of my hiking staffs) I HAVE to do something or it will get so bad I won’t even have the strength to open a bag of Cheetos.

Putting in a garden is good exercise.

Morning dogs. Has anyone heard from Ray?
