Recorded a new podcast! WOOT! I’m saving a series to release in June and July when I’m too busy and my voice is too worn out to record.

A terrific episode called “Live Live!” I haven’t released it, YET!

I’m shooting to record eight extra episodes in the next couple of weeks! We’ll see how it goes. So I have one “in the can!”

Took the Oxygen concentrator back to the Home Medical Services office. Kathy’s O2 levels were the same whether she used it or not. So why pay for it?


Rolled up all the O2 cable around the house for storage.

Ate a chicken salad salad for lunch. It was mighty good.

The aftermath of yesterday’s tree cutting.

Hooked up the DVD player for Kathy to watch.


Installed a new water bottle rack on my bike. The other broke last week.

Cleaned windows.

Worked for an hour with the Comcast tech at my house. We came to the conclusion that I really need to run ethernet cables rather than use the wifi. The signal is just too spotty. Not sure why sometimes it works great and other times not at all.

I have the cable coming. Hopefully, I can get that going this weekend.

Did a massive amount of yard work. Mowed the last half of the back yard.

I didn’t think it was going to be too hard a job. Turned out way worse. HUGE vines of Poison Ivy.

I cut one vine that was 2″ thick! Yow! I felt like I was working with a Black Mamba.

I dug up many more vines in other sections of the yard.

Half way through the job, I came inside and thoroughly washed my legs and arms with Comet.

I read that you have 15 minutes for the oils in the poison ivy to penetrate the skin. If you wash it off you may not be affected. I was around a lot of it. We’ll see.

Cut branches and small bushes.

Hauled logs, branches and vines.


It’s not good for the tree to have these lower branches. Plus no grass can grow in that extreme shade.

I forgot to turn Runkeeper on when I started. Should be completely filled up.

Finished just before it started raining.

I’m pretty tired and have a head ache. I guess from all the toxic dust and gas fumes.

Admin duties now.
