Yesterday - Swim 45 min, run 2 mile. Sauna.
Today - On line most of the day ensuring autopay set up where needed, putting overseas notification on credit cards, making sure which terminals I’ll be hitting haven’t changed or the entry requirements for the PI. Purging passwords off the PC I’m leaving here, testing timers to turn lights on and off at random time. Pope came by after school and went spent about an hour and a half out back working ofn technique. He did ask the question that many a thrower have been asked by meatheads. ā€œUncle, how come I’m stronger than you (ouch) but you can throw farther?ā€ Standard answer. ā€œHow come the worlds strongest man doesn’t win all the throws in the olympics? " Good training session. He gets the form down he’ll punch a hole in the sky (thrower saying). Since our 6’4ā€ 225 young man apparantly looked like he was starving to death the wife send him on his way with a bundle of lumpia to take home. Gym tomorrow I hope.

Great report. With the raw material that guy’s got, and your coaching, he should do really well.

Getting the cars and lawn mower ready for when I’m gone. Family will drive the car and truck every now and then (younguns been instructed on exactly what now and then means).

LOL.

I agree, that would happen in almost all cases.

But we have to remember that Harry is no ordinary man. I would say that when Uncle Harry lays down the law, the young 'uns obey, STAT.

More importantly all of them have one of my 5 older and bigger brothers as grandpa or great uncle. They keep them in line. Well sorta. Cajun staying in line is a little different than most.

Might tell them you’ve taken the vehicles’ odometer readings before you leave.

Swim -45 min, run 2 miles. Don’t know why I dried off after getting out the pool cause there was a light rain the whole run. Got home a huge limb had torn loose from one of the Bradford Pears in the front. After lunch spend about 3 hours chain sawing it apart and haulin it out to the street. Speaking of lunch, wife is coming up with some interesting combos. Finished emptying the big freezer a while ago and only eating what’s in the fridge and stuff that’ll expire in the pantry. Want to have it competely empty and cleaned by this coming Wednesday.
