I spin right round

My dad continues to heal well from his surgery, graduating from a walker to a cane the day after the procedure.

I’m also still dealing with paperwork resulting from my retirement, so I’m trying to navigate bureaucratic layers to get my medical coverage re-activated. I see how people keep their jobs by making the process so convoluted it’s opaque to anyone but the experts implementing the systems.

Mr Incredible is on to the game

Chore Boot Camp is still in full swing. The driveway work began today, and will continue through the next few days. I’ve also mowed, trimmed, raked, and dragged lots of foliage out for pickup.

I still haven’t completed the re-bricking of the side yard after the departure of the flagstones though.

Parking soon to be opened

  • Day 1 with just rocks and dirt

  • Day 2 with said rocks and dirt removed and molds/rebar in place

  • Day 3 with concrete drying

I’ve also discovered Disc Golf, which I’ve heard about in passing previously. It’s always been kind of whispered - like when someone is sick and the volume gets turned way down in the middle of the sentence:

Me: Where’s Charlie?

Charlie’s friend: He’s out today, he’s got <whispered>diarrhea<whispered> really bad.

I have to admit I’m a natural.

You could easily swap me out for this guy that’s famous on the interwebs.
