Blog time 1150 at Panera

Up at 0700.  We had a nice layer of snow overnight.  About 1.5”.  Our drive was already plowed.  I shoveled the courtyard walk.  Bright sun with temperature of 18. Nice winter’s day.

Nancy headed out at 0800 for her Friday swim.  Later She is having lunch with Carol Masten and Beckie Verker at Schuler’s Book.

Started the day with at home calisthenics, followed by filling up bird feeders.  Breakfast and then left for the Y at 0830.

The classes at the Y today were full.  The body pump classes are very popular.  They look like a great work out.

I just did some calisthenics and a 15 minute ride on the stationary bike.  Shower and headed to Panera.

At Panera I read local paper, checked email and finished yesterday’s blog.  Left Panera at 1230.  Nancy was still at lunch.  I feed the birds and then had lunch.

After lunch I worked on taxes before taking a late afternoon nap.

After the nap I called JT’s pizza and ordered a medium ham and pineapple pizza.  JT’s parking lot was full both with dine in and take out customers.

We watched the news while consuming the pizza.  Today we watched a Netflix movie.  It was called “Foreigner” starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan.  I liked it.

Debbie and Missy FaceTimed this evening.

Checked Courtyard before bed and everything was quiet.  

This and that:

Several men at the Y are deadlifting over 450 pounds.  Several women can deadline 250# +. That is major league strong.  

I am not a fan of camouflage clothes on women.

Our Governor is up for reelection this year.  She won’t get my vote but the GOP competition is unimpressive. 

Gas prices are still below $4 in MI.

The Alpena News this morning had a photo and story of a man who owns a trucking company.  He was putting a big USA flag on his truck.  He is joining the group of truckers heading to Washington DC.  He said nobody should tell him to wear a mask or get vaccinated and he is protesting.  I don’t get this logic.

I think we should make a stronger response to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.  How about NATO threatening air support or a naval blockade?
