The strange part is on the interstate there was a border crossing check point. Of course I never left the country, but that road is used by smugglers I presume. They saw an grey haired man alone in a 911, and just waved me through.
A lot of illegals come through there. Lived just south of I8 between San Diego and Yuma.

Trailer has a bad connection on the gas line to the water heater and needs replaced. Might as well do a tankless as put another 6 gallon one in.

After several freezes about all that there is to do in the garden it remove the dead foliage.

She can get herself dressed and can use her left arm and hand to do light things. The PT guy encouraged her to start using it more. Still several weeks before she is back to full use of that arm, and sleeping in bed, not the recliner.

He managed take a shower by herself. I had to help dry her back, but that was it.

It was really nice weather here yesterday. Today is kinda cod, with the mid 40s for a high.

So did you feel the big 7.0 earthquake yesterday?

I saw one new report that showed a huge line of cars on the highway trying to evacuate the low lying areas. It looked like the hurricane evacuations, just a mass of cars on the highway, moving little or not at all.

Another day of her going to PT. She continues to do better. That traffic jam looked horrible. I feel

100% safe from Tsunamis. Oklahoma as a whole has had 144 tornadoes so far. The record is 149 for the year. The vast majority of them are F0 to F1 intensity. Many of them did zero damage as they never hit a man made structure or object.

I took Mrs. C to her follow up apt at the doctors office yesterday. He said he wants her to stop using the sling around the house, and to start using her arm, and moving it. No lifting anything that is heavy. No heavy use, just keep it moving.

She took a shower by herself today!

We had mist all day yesterday and received a whopping 0.02 inches of rain.
