Cool and clear. Should be another really nice day. Yesterday was cool and clear all day. IDK what the official high temp was, but I think we might have gotten into the low 70s. It was so nice to drive around with the windows down. I’m hoping for more of that today.<\/p>\n
Got a slow start to my day. Still feeling the effects of the Hamfest, both the loading\/unloading, and the standing in the sun all day. The sunburn is starting to itch. Since I lived in Arizona, I’ve used the same treatment for sunburn. Slather the affected area with aloe vera gel. NOT gel containing aloe, and a hundred other things, but pure aloe gel, food grade, refrigeration needed<\/a>. Buy it at the health food store. Apply twice a day. Don’t stop when you think you are healed, go a few more days. It will minimize the pain\/itch\/etc and maximize healing. I’ve been swearing by it for several decades. <\/p>\n Of course, you should avoid getting burned in the first place.<\/p>\n Later in the day I ended up doing three pickups. Mostly stuff for the BOL. Lots of driving though, for not much stuff. I skipped lunch and was feeling pretty weird by the time dinner rolled around. W and the kid left for the BOL but I stayed home. After I ate, I felt a lot more like myself, but I still didn’t want to drive at night. I’ll go up today.<\/p>\n I’ve got two pickups that are mostly on the way, but the earliest is 2pm, so I’ll get some stuff done here first. Then I’ll drive up. Should be nice weather for a few days. I’ve got stuff to do in the attic so I hope it’s still cool. Also it would be nice to do something with a veg garden this year. My buddy is too weak from the chemo and radiation, so we won’t get a big garden in like last year. But maybe I can get a couple of rows planted in my garden. I got nothing the first time I tried it, but maybe this time will be different. It’s a steep learning curve, everyone should get started climbing it. And if your thumb isn’t green, as mine isn’t, you can always stack more cans.<\/p>\n Stacking is better than hoping.<\/p>\n nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cool and clear.
