Morning and Happy Friday!  I hope that you are doing well and looking forward to the weekend. 

Last night watching YouTube videos I watched one of a new stroke ambulance.  This particular vehicle was based in Cincinnati, Ohio.  It’s a custom built ambulance with a CT Scanner built in.  This thing is packed full of technology including a link to the medical charting system at the local hospital and video conferencing.  I wish that something like this was around back when my late spouse had his strokes.  This vehicle will save lots of lives and the people of Cincinnati, Ohio should be grateful.  I am sure there are probably many more of these scattered across the US.  I’ve not seen one in my neck of the woods.  This is cool!

I was quite bored last night but managed to find a few things to watch that kept me busy.  The cats oddly were not bugging me much until it got closer to bed time.  They got their loving when I came up early and took the trash out. 

We had a large black dog visit us at lunch time, he just came walking up in the back yard.  I saw him but the cats didn’t.  Then something bothered him and he started barking and that’s when the cats knew he was there.  It’s wasn’t a big deal just something interesting that happened.

Yesterday I had a grand plan for the weekend of getting out to spray/clean the front gable vent, sidewalk and driveway.  Then power wash the deck.  The energy and drive was there.  Now that I’ve slept that energy and desire has kind of dried up.  It will depend on how I feel when I wake up tomorrow if it gets done or not.  It’s not like it’s going anywhere.  We do have a small chance of thunderstorms on Sunday night but they say it will be hit or miss.  Now that the gutters are cleaned out I’m anxious to see how things look for the first rain fall.

I am just tired and lack energy today.  I’ve had breakfast and sleeping wasn’t bad at all.  Mora gave me one of her magic hugs and that was all she wrote for me.  It’s like the sleeper hold.  I think that it brings her comfort and she knows what it does for me. 

As per usual all of my work tasks are complete.  I’ve got a small load of laundry going and that’s it.  Looking forward to going back upstairs and relaxing with the cats.  My back is sore and I’ve still got one knot left over that didn’t quite get worked out in my massage.  Kind of like I am ready for another massage already.  I still miss being able to get a weekly massage at the office for cheap. 

Random fact if Gator and her siblings were all alive today it would be their 20th birthday.  Still miss all of them and Momma.  I remember when they were born like it was yesterday and how I raced home like an expectant father.  Never saw anything born until then and don’t know that I want to see anything else born again.  Momma made some awful noises and that was proof positive that birth of any kind should involve drugs to comfort the mother.  Poor thing she had 3 of them and then like an hour and a half later Ruth came along and I thought that was going to kill her, she was out of energy and I had to take care of the clean up for her, thought I was going to make a mess of my own but I managed to hold it together.  Wow I was so much younger 20 years ago.  Where does the time go? 

Stay cool and have a good weekend.  Thanks for stopping by.  Take care!
