Lot of Good News

It has been a busy day for the OFM Teams. Here is a preliminary of today's resting time efforts on a small format coloring. The picture is after the first effort but before the finishing effort that will come soon we hope.

We figure about six more hours will finish this picture.

The wonderful news happened fairly early this morning on the exercise walk. First the temps were usable for serious walking exercise. The OFM kept the walk down to 2 miles but let himself go as fast as he felt like. We ended up doing the 2 miles at normal low end aerobic level that has heart pumping well and lungs deeply breathing but not panting. The whole walk went very well with no knee pain at all. So we are calling the knee healed for now and full speed ahead whatever full speed is that day.

The storm that came through here late yesterday left a lot of small limbs etc. on and along the main trail. Things like this small limb were no big deal.

Bigger stuff like this pile that had already been cleaned from the trail this morning are another story. They are big enough to talk about stitches if you get hit.

There were plenty of folks out early in the less hot weather so we got in a lot of Texas HOWDYs to the folks out enjoying the morning.

Supper tonight was a bit great. A few days ago we got a really good price on a couple packages of half inch thick pork chops and repackaged them at two to a bag and put them in the freezer. Yesterday we got out a package and cubed two chops into ½ inch cubes and microwaved them with some of the OFM preferred spices for use in salads. This evening supper was one pork chop of cubes into a nice varied salad according to what was available tonight. WOW it was great. There was at least tomatoes, black olives, lettuce mix, BBQ sauce and a couple other things. WOW that was good eating. We love those kinds of salads for supper.

We ended up doing a bit of Walmart perusing about some potential meals soon and checking for supplies for a couple of small projects that might come up in our near future. We are thinking about if we will try to roll out of Alabama this fall and where we might mess around. Our earliest rolling time is late September after some school events for the grands is finished. Then the weather gets too cold to be north of I-20 by the end of October. Then what next???????????? for trying to have tooooo much fun.
