Rain

Jul. 16th, 2025 02:51 am
It's been raining all day, at times heavily. Hail was predicted but never arrived. We put the cars in the garage anyway. It's chilly and damp outside and in.

It's 3:00 am, and I'm not in bed. I've been waking at this time pretty much every day for months. I get up and move to the living room and read a book, or read the computer, until I feel sleepy enough to go back to bed. I'm usually up for a couple of hours. It seems to be an age related phenomenon. The older you get the less you sleep at night. Of course, I frequently nap during the day.

Speaking of getting old, my birthday is in 2 days. I'll be 76 years old. I'm feeling old for the first time. I'm relegating myself to being an old man. I go to strength training at the gym twice a week because I want to be able to get up off the floor if I fall.

I'm also counting the days that I have left on this plane. Most of my music heroes have past away, most of my family is gone. I figure I have 10 good years left. After that, who knows, but I could be gone any time now.

Enough depressing talk for one night.

Hot Tub

Well, Sarah has successfully set up and got working our new hot tub. We sat in it last night as the sun set. I was skeptical of it at first but have come around after using it a couple of times.
A couple of weeks ago Sarah ordered an inflatable hot tub. We managed to wade through the instructions to set it up but now we're waiting for the electrician to come and install a new dedicated outlet for it. The weather has been good hot tubbing weather, cool and sunny. It's frustrating to have to wait for it to be ready to use.

Rediscovery

I just rediscovered my Dreamwidth account. I will try and be more active on here. We're having a chilly summer here in the UP. Sarah bought us a inflatable hot tub. Now we need an electrician to install an outlet on the outside for the hot tub equipment. I'm a little dubious about the whole project because we'll have to disassemble everything for the winter and store it somewhere. Although, I think it will be nice to have it for the summer and fall.

We're also thinking of going to Paris the month of October. Sarah will be going to Brazil in November/December for a couple of weeks for the COP climate conference. I have decided that I don't think I will go with her. The conference is going to be in Belem, Brazil. Which is a big city in the north of Brazil. If I went I'd mostly likely spend my time in the hotel. It might also be too much after being in France for a month.
