Another cold night is behind us with warmer weather moving in this afternoon. With any kind of luck and a lot of work, we will finish the steps and sidewalk we have been building on the west side of the house. The parking spot has a steep drop-off heading toward the backyard, and we wanted the... Sign in to see full entry.

Another almost bitter night, with temps dropping down to 23. Add in the heavy humidity, and that is cold! My wife is feeling a little better, but I don't think she will be back on her feet until tomorrow. With the weather like this, I see no hurry to get outside and chance a relapse. I know when it...

I'm going to keep this short for now. Lisa is suffering from the same flu I had earlier in the week, and it is my turn to attend to her as she helped me. Now that I know or think I know what flu it is, I can help her a bit more. It was down to 30 here last night with a high forecast to be 50 if we... Sign in to see full entry.

I went to sleep at about 9:30, terribly early for me, but I guess that I slept until 10:30 this morning tells me I needed the sleep. As "third in command of inner details" at the Crystal Motor Speedway for nearly thirty years, when the owner decided to sell the track late last fall, I've been... Sign in to see full entry.

A doctor friend of mine was telling me last night that what the wife and I may have just experienced was the "bird flu" which is at a record rate in at least 47 states. I haven't been keeping up on such things, but it makes sense. I've known this doctor for 30+ years and we worked together in the ER... Sign in to see full entry.

People are catching on to the fact they can call me at about 9:30 to 10 in the morning, and it is getting frustrating. I try to do my posts here and answer at least a dozen emails that have accumulated over the night... and I am constantly interrupted. This morning, I got five calls minutes apart......

After another busy day yesterday, we had company stop to see our progress. The minister from across the street stopped by and was amazed at the difference from the last time he had been over. We are going to give all of the burnable wood to some of his parishioners to help them stay warm. Today is... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm finally feeling about 95% better than I was the other day. I'm still a tad sluggish, but I've never been an early riser unless forced to do so. We have to run over to Live Oak, some 25 miles due east of here. My wife wants to get her hair trimmed and I want to pick up a few things at Lowes. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I took a big slug of Ny-Quyl last night and I slept for roughly eleven hours. I feel much better this morning. I even feel like writing something after four or five days now without writing anything. When I don't feel like writing, I'm sick. It looks like it will be a nice day today, but other than... Sign in to see full entry.

Ehh. Still running a temp of 100.0 and feeling so less than good. I may run to the ER if gets much higher. V Sign in to see full entry.
