Easter Weekend and Monday, Monday & Tuesday

Monday –I’ll start by saying that I spent all last evening with Audacity, Youtube and massaging various renditions of Hallelujah  I have the start of a collection of good ones but I like Leonard Cohen one the best.  I did tweek his by speeding it up 4% and to me it sounds better.  It is like a dirge otherwise.

A & V came up from Ohio since Tony A’s funeral conflicted with the PL crowd going to his house.  They had a great time running around Satek Winery, Allen, MI Antiques and the Buffalo Farm.  SAM went with and I stayed home to work on off loading the camper and moving a lot of stuff around so it would all fit in the building: it fit! Camper, JKM car, car dolly plus all the normal items all fit and with room to spare. PTL.   Saturday evening was topped off by a meal at the Great Wall Buffet: An Angola upper scale Chinese that has a lot of seafood and Sushi plus a so-so Mongolian Grill.  Sunday was a meal with the brothers and sisters of HJM/KLM clan.  I think we enjoyed A&V’s spiral cut ham from Aldi’s best.

Today I spent a lot of time just putz’ing around but in the afternoon A&L came over and we moved a rank of wood from our driveway to their wood rack out by the patio pad in the back yard.  Afterward I putz’d again but managed to remove the three blades from the lawn tractor and check out replacements (ouch – $14 x 3 ).  I also spent most of the day, intermittently, updating the Toshiba Protege M400’s and posting them on Craigslist for $45.  This is a bargain if I do say so myself.

Now, as the evening wanes, I am listening to ham radio IRLP conversations from all over the USA and ignoring the dull aches of an abused, arthritic body.

Tuesday — With Chondroitin and Ibuprofen I felt great today– Tuesday.  Bought new lawnmower  blades, Yikes, $ 50,  for a couple of pieces of steel.  Then greased the joints, organized a lot of stuff. cleaned out the cockpit of ocean kayak in prep of offering for sale, put tailgate of trunk back on , washed truck with SAM, and now cruising the net while listening to IRLP radio world.  A great day indeed, one of cooling temperatures (in to the upper 20’s t0night) and clear skies of NE Indiana and home of everything good and wholesome.

Moore later.
