Monday, July 28

5:06 a.m.-  Yesterday was a good one!  I did get in some exercise by riding my bicycle - not real far; just a couple of miles, but it was a good workout on the legs.  I'm still trying to balance the strength (and flexibility) in my legs.  I still haven't recovered all the strength in my surgery leg; and I still haven'r recovered all the strength in the calf/Achilles in the other leg.  Both legs, though, are getting stronger!  I'm holding out hope that I will be able to run up and down a basketball court.  

After working out, the South well children arrived, and I spent some time with them.  They wanted to go outside despite the heat, so I good advantage and pulled weeds out of the flower bed and trimmed the bushes and the front tree.  After that, I spent some time on the camper to get ready for new tires.  I had never taken off the spare, so I learned how to do that.  That was a good thing for two reasons.  First, the spare looked decent and had air.  Second, I discovered that lowering the spare takes some extra effort than the equipment supplied with the trailer.  Now when I go take the truck and trailer to Davenport on Thursday, the spare is in the bed of the truck for easier access in the unfortunate situation that a tire blows on the way over.  I don't think I will have problems, but just in case I'm on the side of the road, I'll be able to change the tire quicker.  After that lesson with the trailer, I spent some time with the pool....cleaning it, cooling off in it, and getting some sun.  In the process, I did some reading of the new IHSA/NFHS volleyball rules.  The Southwells came back to swim, and Grandma Rhonda arrived too.  After awhile, we closed down by picking up the toys that had been used, and I went inside to watch a movie.  It was interrupted when my mom called and asked for some help with a dead chicken.  I had planned to visit mom and dad anyway, so I chucked the chicken and then had a nice visit along with some ice cream and apple pie.  After coming back home, I finished the movie and called it a night.

Today...I'm going to get in a resistance workout and then head to ICE to see what I can get done.
