My walks are now up to 18 minutes. I use a heart rate monitor and push it. I am going to start walking twice a day. I will follow the walks with a bike ride. Riding hurts less so I can keep my heart rate up for longer.
I am almost finished with painting laundry room. You can't say it is a dark and uninviting space now. Will take the last doors off and have finished and put back by the weekend.picture does not do it justice.
Helped Jon (Vivian's youngest)with brake job on Volvo. I seem to be doing a bit of brake work lately. I don't mind.
I am not exactly sure of my actual start date for work. Not my fault. They have not set a training schedule yet.
Looks like I will be getting hearing aids. I got tested and it appears I have lost the upper register(mostly affects hearing voices). Hmmm??? I also have to have a special chair for work. Maybe I am getting older?
It appears my memory is also not quite as good as I remembered it being.
I have been researching vacuum setups for laminating wood. I will be setting up to do Mary Lee's interior this next month. I want to be ready to roll on that as soon as the weather starts warming a bit. I figure a month of weekends should see it being wrapped up. It will be nice to have a bit more storage. A booth to eat in. A better bed.
I am starting to get the sailing bug. It is now getting more real for Vivian. My health improving is also key! Time flies. It is just a short time until Mary Lee is finally in good sailing waters. Not much longer until I sail her to Florida.
My reading is now switching back to boating. I have a lot of interests. I generally read about things as I prepare to do them. I am now dreaming about being on the water at all times(day and night). I have the perfect partner for it.
Of course I have been "lined out" on the fact that she is the admiral and I am the cap'n!! Not by her, but no matter. Vivian is just very easy-going.
I don't mind, I rather do like the term "Swab". Guess I will have to save that one. Besides, anyone willing to let me put them up 40 feet on a boatswains chair, the day after I finished building it, is certainly deserving of a more esteamed title!
Mary Lee was the wisest purchase I ever made. Without her, I would never have met Vivian. There is no question about us being made for each other.
We have just a short time to go before we start living our dream. That being said.....Nobody else I would want to share the dream or the actual living of it with.
