Can you tell that I’m board?  Now I’m down to taking pictures of my food.  I made some corn bread for dinner last night and I’ve always having trouble getting the corn bread out of the skillet whole.  Looks like I did a pretty good job of it last night.  It’s all gone now.

I get to get out tomorrow to go to the eye doctor so it looks like I’ll be going back to work on Wednesday.  I’ve really enjoyed being off and I’m really looking forward to retiring from my current employer even more.  Just three years and six months to go.

I promise that tomorrow’s picture will be something other than food or my cats.

I’m getting board stuck in this house.  I’ve got a brand new camera and I’ll I’ve got to take pictures of are my cats.  Let’s just say my wife and daughter are camera shy.

I’ve got two cat’s.  I spotlighted Clyde the other day and this is Sophie.  She was hiding under a pillow on our bed.  She does this sometimes but I was ready for her when she did this today.

Eighty percent chance of rain tomorrow so it looks like I’ll be stuck in the house again tomorrow.  Doctor appointment on Tuesday and I might get to go back to work on Wednesday.  Not really looking forward to that but at least it’s something to do.

This was taken last year about this time.  We are in our 36th hour of being below freezing.  We don’t deal with these kind of temps much so it’s a big deal down here in the deep south.  We are expecting to get above freezing tomorrow but then the rains come in.

I’m so ready for spring time so I can get out and feel human again.  I feel like a caged animal not being able to get out and ride my bike.  Having eye surgery the other day is compounding the effects because I can’t drive anywhere.

I truly hope everyone else is doing fine and able to get out and do things.

Ever had one of those days?  I’ve been restricted from work until next Wednesday due to my eye surgery.  Got to catch up on my TV watching if that’s anything to brag about.  Going out tomorrow to do some running around with my daughters tomorrow so I’ll at least get out of the house for a while.

This is my cat Sophie.  She’s doing what she does best, washing her face.  She likes to stay clean, nap, eat, poop and clean again.

Just signed up for a 45 mile bike ride.  It’s in April so I still have time to do a little training.  This is me during one of the few rides that I did last year.  I’m out of shape but I think I can get where I need to be in a couple of months.

The eye doctor took my eye patch off today and all the floaters have been removed.  I can see now without having to look through a composition notebook.  No bending over, lifting anything more than 10 lbs and not going to work until next week.

This photo was taken at our local Boy Scout office  The wall on the left is where they inscribe all the names of scouts that have achieved the rank of Eagle.  The three symbols include the Bald Eagle, the American Flag and Lady Liberty.  My son’s name is on that wall.  So very proud of him.

For those that are looking at this piece of machinery thinking “What in the world is this?”  I’ts a chiller.  It’s what cools our building complex.  What you’re looking at is three 750 ton Air Conditioning units.  My main job is to see that these bad boys run with out any problems.  I have to take readings on these things every day of the work week making sure that the temperature and pressures are correct.  Most of the time they run with no issues but when they break down it can get very expensive.

I mentioned it in yesterday’s post and since then I haven’t been able to think much of anything else.  We had some pretty bad storms last night but luckily the tornado’s didn’t happen.

If you follow the link in the photo above it will take you to a site where I have posted all the pictures that were taken during the unveiling of the memorial our Boy Scout Troop did in honor of all those that perished during the tornado event of April 2011.   As you can tell by some of the pictures it was a local news media event.  Three television new’s media plus two local news paper media personal were there to cover the event.  It was a very emotional event to say the least.  It really brought our community together.

Day Three

It’s been raining all week, in fact, we are currently under a Tornado Watch. Our community is still rebuilding since our last tornado which came through here back in 2011. Missed our house about half a mile.  Our community looked like a bomb had went off. Hopefully, we will miss any bad weather that may come our way.
