Hey Westie. Good to see you. You don't stop in nearly often enough. Couldn't get your video to play though.

P.S. Sometimes in the editing of the vigil list or when I have switched computers, somebody gets dropped that is supposed to be on it. This will always be inadvertent and if ya'll would call it to my attention, it would be much appreciated.
Yesterday afternoon, I came through Elberta about 4 PM just as it started to rain cats and dogs. The digital thermometer in the park read 99.Got my usual (non-CPAP yet) nights sleep..... Went for another drive yesterday back up to Silver City as everything was open. Yesterday afternoon I also installed the new window AC unit in the front room, last week the HVAC people replaced the new water pump in the main area swamp cooler, the new pump failed. Just in time as we're in the triple digits during the afternoons which is also why I put in another window AC, the swamp coolers only cool the house an average of 10 to 15 degrees lower than the outside temps. It does get warm in the house by mid afternoon.
Kinda funny in a way though, we've definitely acclimated to the warmer temps, it's currently 80 outside with a nice breeze and it feels quite comfortable........![]()
One of my birthday gifts:

The one on the right is especially appropriate.
I can wake up in the morning without cigarettes. I can have a couple cups of coffee and drive to the store to buy some. If I'm out of coffee, I'm doomed.

I'm not sure if that indicates a very mild cigarette addiction or a terribly extreme coffee addiction.![]()
I'm feeling really guilty about my grammy. She is now in a nursing home, and I haven't even gone to visit her yet. I feel terrible but I dread going to see her there and like that. That is not how I want to remember my grandmother and I know that is not how she would want to be remembered. I don't even know if she will know who I am. She has declined very rapidly in terms of her memory and dementia. I know I have to go visit her, but I am not looking forward to it. Is that selfish of me?

What you are feeling is perfectly normal Chris--no need to feel guilty. But do go see her anyway, for your sake even if it doesn't benefit her. And we never know what goes on in the subsconscious even with those with advanced dementia, so the chances are you will benefit her too.
Don'tcha hate it when ya wake up with a song stuck in your head....... It's not even one of my favorites.......

Ack, I keep putting it off, but it's really eating away at me.
