Great day. Started with a short trip to the Cardio Doctor for yearly checkup. Not sure why I keep going back cause I don’t and didn’t have any heart trouble. Several years ago I had was referred to him due to come pains that turned out to be Acid Reflux… Did all those tests, stress and pictures and stuff and up scope and down scope to check all the internal areas and proved I had some scarring in the stomach (possible bleeding ulcers) and acid reflux… put on pills that control it and watch what I eat and head it off when I suspect… but we keep a yearly on the heart thing and so far I am in pretty good condx and lost 7 pounds since last year… Although my High BP meds may need some tweaks? Anyway with the good bill of health and a see ya next year I left that and made a trip back home… while home I spotted that a sparrow had taken over the bluebird house out front… so I set the trap….
The female setting on top and stating she ain’t going in there yet the nest ain’t done….
The male arrives with some nest material and is trying to figure out just where it needs to go…
He went in and the trap slapped shut… so long Mr. Sparrow… and Ms. Sparrow was not sticking around after that… I have done this several times and the females are pretty much gone when the trap sets… they figure it is easy to get another suitor out there with better luck…
After lunch I got home and started on the repair of the closet doors… seems I had not been careful enough some years ago and dropped them… but they dropped on the damn door knob and that poked a hole in the door…
well not just one but several holes where the knob was and the plastic clothes hanger on the top and where the screw for the knob come out the back… anyway they needed to be replaced. So over the weekend I got the replacement doors and today took them to the shop and sanded them down so the stickup they used top put on the manual was removed… got them all smooth, cleaned, dusted etc.… and applied some stain to hopefully match them to the ones above… we had a lot of left over stain from building and I have stored it in the heated shop bathroom and it looked ok so I planned on using it rather than attempting to find more that would match…
put them up on the makeshift sawhorses and got them all stained… so far they look pretty close… tomorrow or Wednesday I will put on a sealer coat…
Just as I was finishing up it came a neat little spring shower… didn’t get enough rain to settle the dust hardly but was nice all the same…
Been awhile since we have seen clouds like this…
The evening was filled with … not much… Sherrie to here exercise class, we then went and picked up a sandwich from the Firehouse Subs place… split one regular sub and it was pretty good… I then returned to work on the computers I had started earlier… doing some house cleaning and was attempting a back up on one that was taking forever so I had to stop that and do some more cleaning and change what is backed up. Will start it tomorrow and hope it runs a bit faster? I suspect it is time for me to do a bit more to that machine that we put in in 2009? might need new hard drives and such? I will start the process this spring to see about upgrades? It runs the weather station and the video monitors so I kind of need it to be in good shape…
