Rained quite a bit last night, with thunderstorms. The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend with temps in the mid to low 70s. That will be nice for yard work. I have to borrow a mower cause mine is still in the repair shop. Hopefully Stretch will let me use his. I need to put down the fall grass seed.

I heard from my cousin Mike that his dad (Uncle Mike) is not doing well. Mike says - "Dad is getting weaker. He will likely be moving down to the other floor soon and out of the apartment. The fluid build up is competing with the kidneys. If they flush him too much the kidneys malfunction. He is hanging in there and goes up and down. The Tampa folks went to visit today. No report yet."
I'll call Mike later today to see if he got a report from Chris's family that visited.

I checked airfare to ORL - $164 round trip. Not a bad deal and much cheaper than driving. Of course I will have to rent a car.

Susan is teaching an acquaintance to drive.

Well, Bay Days went ok. I worked the City Hall first aid site from 6pm until closing at about 10:30. Nothing really happened expect a little boy fell and had a small abrasion on this scalp.

The USAF Langley group called the Blue Aces played on the main stage. They were very good and I have made a not to try to see them again. It was weird seeing a people dance and sing while wearing BDUs.

I didn't work Bay Days on Sat.

Bay Days again on Sun from noon to closing at 6pm. Again nothing much went on - put on two band-aids! It was fun watching all the people.

I have decided that it is good not to be an ALS provider any more. I can just sit back and watch other do their thing, and help out where needed - not to be responsible!!
