Sunday

Sunday morning:  woke up, showered, and shaved.  I shave Sundays and Thursdays each week.  I read the last chapter in the Book of Mormon.   In the morning I will be starting over.  Richard starting to feel much better and stronger.  He fed the cats and kittens.  Three kittens which are pretty hungry and pretty wild. 

I helped Carol get dressed.  Her knee is awful painful.  She had a piece of toast.  I turned on the radio where we listen to talks by different church leaders, some church news, and the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.

 I made three servings of mush out of old fashion oats.  Richard had one bowl and I had one.  There's one left for tomorrow morning.  I had a fried egg on a piece of toast.  At ten we watched the sacrament meeting on Zoom.  We were able to hear it pretty good at the beginning but the audio could did not keep up with the video.  We then watched Taylor and Tyler talk about the part of the last chapter in the book of Mormon.  

Lisa fixed a chicken and potato dinner made out of a sauce, four large chicken breasts and quartered potatoes.  Several times during the day I helped Carol with her physical therapy exercises.   I also put the cold pack on her knee three different times.

Well wishers called several times during the day.

We had supper.  The weather has been cool.

therapy and Snow

As soon as it was light I could see that it snowed most of the night.  I had a therapy appointment this morning at nine.  There was a message on Face Book yesterday saying the office would be closed.  I called the therapy number this morning and they were open. I had a little extra time this morning before a left for Fillmore.  I pushed off haft the snow on the driveway before I left for
Fillmore.   I was going to drive straight the Revere Health building, but for got and got off at the Fillmore north exit.  I then drove through Fillmore to the building and got there a few minutes before my appointed time.  I checked in and was in the therapy room soon after.

Dr. Allen was not there, but was met by Dustin who put me through a whole bunch of therapy exercises.   I should of got some pictures of each device.

The above photos shows one device.   The handles were attached to stretchy lines.  I used this in several different ways.  That I pulled the line back level with my hips.  I was there for nearly and hour.  I then bought a few groceries at the Fillmore Market.

I stood on the front porch for this photo.  This is the second time that removed the snow off the sidewalk.

The shed is not finished, but I pulled over the shredder to keep it out of the snow and rain.  

 It was quite hard because of the snow, mud, and one flat tire.  The photo shows a trail through the mud and snow.

I removed the snow off the dish three times.  It snowed most of the day.

I have a broom attached to a long stick.  I left it there all day.  the top of the broom is under the eve.

This is the snow on the east side of the house looking north.

Late this afternoon I began work on a small table that I could place next to the sofa for my lap top.  I had some pieces of 2x2's left over from the shed.  I am using these for the legs.  I ripped and other piece of 8/4 wood into 5/8 pieces.

Shed Sheathing Completed

Quite cold this morning.  I had an appointment with a physical therapist this morning at 9:15.  I drove to Fillmore, completed required paper work, and then started my therapy.  I was on a machine for ten minutes which was something like a bicycle, but instead of pedaling I used my hands to work it.  After the ten minutes he told me that I had gone nearly two miles.  I moved my arms to different positions and asked me if it hurt.  Sometimes it did and some times it didn't.

I then came home.  I went right back to Fillmore for the State Bank celebration of the 62nd birthday.  I brought home two plates of food.  On for me and one for Carol.

After lunch I started work on the shed.  I hauled all of the sheathing that was in the pick-up one sheet at a time.  I hauled a sheet and then moved it into position on the shed.  I would then go back for another one.

I  clamped the sheet on both sides of the cart.

I cut off a two piece and put it in the empty place.  There is a faint outline of the piece in the above photo.  Drove screws around the edges two hold it into position.

The top edge of one of the rafters was not complete.  I scabbed on a four foot 2x4 which made it much easier secure the sheathing.

I could hear my tractor running.  Each time I went to the truck there was someone moving the shredded wood.  Later. I asked Brady, who was running the tractor, how he got it started.  Several months ago I tried to start it and it wouldn't start.  He had used a screw driver to hot wire it and it started right up.  

I finished the roof and brought the rest of the sheathing and laid it against the north end of the shed.  

Here is a view of the front of the shed.  I put the tools on the two wheeled cart.  I put the tools in the garage.
