Blog time 1330 sitting in office
Up at 0630, it was sunny with temp in high 50s. Nancy headed out first thing to Senior’s time at Walmart. She said it was not crowded.
I started with my calisthenics downstairs. Breakfast and then headed out on a 10.5 mile bike ride. Great day for a ride. Temp in mid 60s.
Nancy headed out for her 3.2 mile walk. She also had a shorter walk in the afternoon.
After the ride shaved and showered. I then headed out on some errands. First stop was shirt laundry to drop off several shirts.
At Meijer’s I picked up a prescription. Also bought six bottles of wine, sugar free oatmeal cookies, banana and a suet block for the birds.
Final stop was Panera. Bought a coffee and a bagel.
At home spent time in office checking email, and reading the news both local, Alpena, and national, Apple News and WSJ.
Today I spent considerable time checking on the flooding in Midland County. As I mentioned earlier Scott Civil Engineering Co had designed a bridge on Curtis Road over the Tittabawassee River. The bridge is less than a mile downstream from the failed Edenville Dam. Flood waters overtopped the bridge. The bridge looks intact but the west road approach washed away. I was able to find many photos of the bridge and surrounding area.
The Sanford Dam downstream from the Edenville Dam did not fail but water over topped the dam creating flooding near the City of Midland which is further downstream
We also designed another bridge over the Tittabawassee near Midland. This bridge was not over topped but the road approach washed away.
Late lunch and then I took a short nap. No apple snack or walk today.
This evening Nancy fixed spaghetti with a great meat sauce. Also had a salad and croissant.
Watched the news and Jeopardy before switching to Apple TV. Tonight we watched episode 2 of Murder City on Prime. We gave it a B.
It was 60 when took Ms P out at 2200. Yes folks 60. It is great.
Debbie and Missy FaceTimed us today. We reported everything was OK.
