How's your day been?

Didn’t sleep much last night. Was at Wal-Mart at 6:00 AM when they opened to get wife’s meds. Next door neighbors had a four man crew in early to pour another lane in their driveway and to pour front steps to replace wood ones. Crew apparently drove 80 miles to do the job. Forgot to bring wheel barrows. Another neighbor and I dug ours out. Done enough of this back in the day to know that they did a pretty good gob. Should be out sanding on the lathe but too tired.
 
Got the new modem and with a lot of pain got it working just now. I can't stand Comcast but the customer service person who solved my problem was a jewel. Still don't have my phone service back but that's a minor problem since I don't want calls from people I don't know anyway. The ones I do know have my cell number. Heck of a frustrating day.
 
Right now my day is going pretty good. Beautiful cool morning with abundant sunshine. Making a delivery to a marine construction company right on the river, very nice to look at and be by the water.

There's usually barges here with cranes on them for building sea walls and docks on the St Clair rivRiver.

This is also a marina along the bend in this tributary river. Its called the pine river I think.

We had a little excitement early this morning. A black bear was in our neighborhood and turned over a couple of large garbage totes. Our dog and our next door neighbor's dog went wild but we didn't see it, just heard all the barking. Another neighbor sent out the alarm on our community facebook list. He said it looked like an adult bear and took his or her slow time picking thru the delicious garbage. This is the third time since mid-July that bears have been spotted in our immediate area. Very unusual for here but we do have a large heavily forested state park nearby.
 
Fantastic couple of days. As many of you know, grand children make the world go round. We traveled to Utah to help celebrate our grand son’s first. A little trip to the aquarium today. Nice to be out of town for a few days, trying to be safe

I got a call last night from my mom. My dad was experiencing extreme pain in his chest and stomach and she had taken him to the emergency room. Found out it was a type b aortic dissection. They are going to keep him in the hospital for at least a week. On Monday they will reassess and if it shows signs of healing, he won’t have to do open heart surgery just a stent in 6 to 8 weeks. The doctor was confident that it would heal and he wouldn’t need the surgery on Monday. The main reason I’m moving back to Texas is to be closer to my family, I just hope everything works out.
 
Stopped raining, for a bit anyway.

Went for a walk.

Stopped to chat with the neighbors.
