Gina's journey

[Gina P]

  Worked with the volunteer crew clearing trails for next weeks summer poker run. This ride is different than the spring one. It travels on many back roads with some very extreme, almost impassible trails. My son is coming to visit us next weekend and wants to drive. Should be interesting. 
  Construction continues on the house. I hired a fellow that I met helping out on the poker runs. Hard worker. I have him running wire and nailing on electric boxes,  while I work on the plumbing. We have the insulation and that will soon go up. Looks like we might make it in time for the drywallers.

I hope you meet your schedule for the house.

  My area was under a tornado watch yesterday. Luckily we didn't get hit by any of those nasty storms. Interesting topography, we live on a hill or mountain, and many of the thunder storms go around us. Very strange yesterday as some of those storms were making a close pass. One minute the air was 83, than a 60 degree wind , then back to the warm, back and forth.
   Had my bi-annual checkup yesterday. I like this doctor. He said my E numbers were low last visit, and wants to see them over 200. Last doctor was always saying she didn't want anything over 100. He ordered a blood test and will adjust as necessary. I also discussed about getting voice surgery and he is going to work his end, and try and get the insurance company to pay some. Fingers crossed.

So glad that bad weather missed us. A town, Weston, about an hours drive, was flooded pretty bad. Videos all over the web of the mayhem.
   Working on the house, went to install the shower walls to find one damaged. Back to the store and re-order. Still hoping I can get it in before the drywallers show up. Switched gears and installed the new electric panel yesterday. Hooked up a light circuit and tried it, nothing. Checked it, used a different breaker, nothing, third try realized I never turned on the main! Nothing like feeling stupid!
   My son starts his trip down here today. So looking forward to seeing him. He was against us moving here, so I am looking for his approval, and a nice visit. Poker run Saturday with him, should be fun. More to come.

  I survived the Poker run. This one had some really bad spots. I let my son drive and I must admit, he was a bit aggressive behind the wheel. Helped pull out a fellow in a side by side 4x4 stuck in the mud. Hooked our winch to the back of another side by side, who hooked his winch to the stuck one. All in all a good day. Nothing broke!
  He has left for home and it's back to work for me. He is a very intense man and has an opinion about everything. Its nice to see him, but also nice for things to return to normal.

  I received a call from our drywaller, yesterday. He is a week behind. That will help me out. One shower came in damaged and had to be reordered, the other shower is stuck in customs, some of the insulation is back ordered. So I now have 2 weeks to finish my prep work.
  Doctors office called with my blood results. They said everything is where the doctor wants them. My E was over 500. This was at peak and only 2 days since I had injected. I was still surprised that the doctor felt it was good. He also said he will start working on the insurance company to try and get them to pay for some of the voice surgery this winter. We shall se how that works out.
