That much? Seriously? Wow! :eek:

You can tell I don't go to sporting events. ;)



The cheap-*** reach extender I bought at the 99 Cents Only Store some months ago broke last week, so I just ordered a more expensive, and hopefully better-made 3 foot grab n’ grip from Amazon. I hope it works and doesn’t break.

Bought a few bottles of zero calorie Power-aid (a sports drink). I didn't know they made zero calorie sports drinks till now. 70 cents each - on sale. They weren't bad tasting -for what they were.

Came down from my property, did a bunch of laundry and the next day loaded up with my folks to visit a local hot springs (developed). We (my folks, my dog and I) stayed in my parent's 5th wheel camper at the hot springs campground for a few nights.

While there I did quite a bit of swimming in the cool pool and lounging in the hot pool -at least 4 to 5 hours a day - I really like being in the water. Pool entrance was $7.00 a day (you can get a stamp and leave and come back) I have trouble with leaving the pool once I'm in it so I usually do all my daily swim in one go.

Needed the sports drinks as I often get dehydrated while swimming, and normally I don't notice I'm dehydrated until I start feeling drug out and a dizzy after leaving the pool or lake. Maybe I'm getting slightly more intelligent about this as I age, as this time I was smart enough to buy something to head this off.

I had a good time at the hot springs. Hated to leave.

I'd like to go back up there more this winter, maybe tent camp, or even rent a cabin, but if I was alone I don't know what I'd do with my dog while I was swimming. She's never been left alone, except for short periods in my car, and I swim for too long to leave her in my car. -Oh well that's a problem for later.

However even though this was fun, I left my land without finishing the work I plan to get done before winter hits. So I'm heading back on Monday or Tuesday to do some more building - just when the weather is supposed to get a bit colder.
-I think I'll limit most of my work to the afternoons and stay huddled under the covers with my dog and a book in the chilly mornings.
