Tuesday August 7, 2018

Our heat wave is over.  Temp was 68 with no morning rain.  Nancy heads to her Tuesday swim and after breakfast I head to the Y.  

Another pleasant morning for a bike ride.  I pass the same folks every morning out for their morning walk.  Calisthenics and stretches at Y.  This morning for first time this year I ran a lap.  It is only 0.2 mi but I experienced no pain.

Nancy and I both had trouble sleeping last night.  I might have to start using my CPAC machine again.

The Alpena News reported that high school football practice started on Monday.  Several small HS in NE MI have switched to 8 man football.

Showered and quick lunch before afternoon chores.  Stopped at ATM to build up my cash supply.  I love our local Ace Hardware store.  I needed 4 nuts and bolts to finish my kayak rack.  I can walk to their storage bins and pick out the nuts and bolts that I need.  Can purchase 1 or a dozen bolts.  The big box stores have the bolts in packages and so they decide the size of my purchase which is usually at least two times more than I need.  Small is good.

Before buying a kayak I wanted to check on getting a used one.  Stopped and “Play it Again Sports” and they did not have any.  Also checked the GRP.  Tomorrow I will check Craig’s List.

I took a short nap.  For dinner Nancy fixed a chicken salad with corn on the cob.  Very tasty.  After dinner I took a walk in a light mist.  After the snacks we watched two episodes of DCI Crane on Prime before turning in.
