I haven't heard much here and wondered what everyone is doing? Any at home? Working full time?
Age has hit me, I thought if I had 3 days in a row, I would get a lot done, but I have enjoyed sitting and not being rushed. Arthritis is acting up considerably.
But I have been trying to get my shop into shape. Dang if I don't get one thing cleaned up when suddenly I have another mess in my shop. I made two towers last year that both were two shoe boxes wide (those $1.00 plastic shoe boxes from Dollar General) and holds 10 high for 20 in each tower. That sure made a difference in me finding lots of small stuff.
Well, I bumped one two days ago and knocked it over. Screws and parts all over the place. And I did that as I was finishing up and getting ready to help LOML with some of her stuff.
I am rearranging things in my shop to get it better organized; I will get my lawn tractor and push mower tuned up running tomorrow. Maybe I am getting a taste of real retirement.
OH forgot this: Last week, I talked a little about my Apple Watch:
THAT Brings me to this: I bought an Apple Watch for the ECG on it as much as the "Fall" feature. I take it 3 or 4 times a day and it records it on my phone. I have consistently been OK! WELL, the watch has another feature too: If you fall and do not move for 1 minute, it will automatically dial 911 with your location and automatically dial those in your emergency contact list - LOML and 3 daughters. Twice today I noticed it going off. I hit something hard with a hammer this morning and had to tell it that I did not fall! This afternoon, I was cutting some large hickory chunks with an axe. It went off again. I had to stop it both times before it dialed 911. If I had had a long sleeve shirt on, I might not have noticed it until the EMT arrived, or LOML came out looking for me.
IF you have an Apple Watch with Fall Detector, don't wear it while chopping wood or working with a forge!
Coronavirus:
I have been consulting with lots of our pastors and churches in this rural area just south of Memphis. Most are sensible about this, but some feel this is overblown. They will learn. We are rural but we have had one death and are surrounded by counties with higher rates than us. I have been suggesting some ways of video conferencing and streaming live messages.
My office is closed but I do go in 3 times a week for an hour or so to get mail and pay bills.
