My calendar.

  …has to run on Mountain Time.  I filled in our future plans in my Outlook calendar while we were in Colorado on Mountain Time.  When we moved back to the beach in the Central Time zone my Outlook calendar was suddenly scrambled.  Everything that was scheduled for one day was now scheduled for two.  I had changed the time zone in my computer.  I tried changing it back to Mountain Time and my Outlook calendar made sense again.   So now I think it’s still early in the day but it’s not.  My computer is on Mountain Time.

Update

  Remember my story about talking to the surgeon just before I went back into the Cath Lab?  I asked him to not only save me, but to make me better than I was before.  He did.  He put in a couple new stents, and he also opened up that collateral artery that had been blocked off by a stent the first time around.   I have better endurance now.  If I’m slow and careful, I can run a few comfortable miles on the beach; no chest pain.  Sea level.  No shoes.  It works.  It works well enough that I’ve started checking my measured mile times.  At first I was barely breaking 20 minutes.  Now, though, I’ve broken through the 10 minute barrier.  That’s not my long-distance I-could-do-this-all-day pace, just my one mile speed, but my last timed mile was 9:40.  That’s actually running, not just shuffling along!  I have my energy back!

Happy anniversary to us

Six years on the road. This morning we start on number seven’s adventures.

We unhooked the motorhome from our site and drove it to Aransas Pass for a new windshield. The old windshield took a rock in Oklahoma on the way down.

Aransas Pass Glass.

A truck, a ladder, and four guys who know what they’re doing.

They almost make it look easy.

All done in half an hour. A new Imax for us.


Casey and Laurie are here visiting from Durango. Fish and chips on the deck at Snoopy’s. Ice cream at Scoopy’s next door. It’s all good.
