Wow! A real course at Fleming Park, with controls. I did the middle course, and it was no gimmee. The good part is that my navigation was mostly good. Although I was a bit off and wandered on 3, and went a bit far north on 7, I was still in the ballpark on both. The other good thing is that I did all this climb, and felt good throughout. Good breathing. I carried a trekking pole, but couldn't keep it adjusted correctly (note to self: read the directions, and practice first) and lost several minutes getting all put back together. Also lost a bit of time two or three times because of congestion on trails or by controls, and I didn't want to get close to anyone. Overall, I feel pretty good today about the course--nothing stupid except for not practicing with the trekking pole. Very rough out there, and I spent a lot of time picking off sticky seeds.

After picking up lunch at Chicken 'n Pickle, and bringing it home and eating, Bob and I went out and put up the first part of the eave on my playhouse. That was both scary and exciting. Then I did the spreadsheet stuff, and now I am really tired.

Had a covid test Wednesday. The one before was just a bit uncomfortable. This one hurt. And she kept mining for 5 seconds--a long time--one, hypotenuse, two,..... But I was negative. My right nostril, the one mined, is still sore today.

Today was medical stuff which took up the entire morning, and now I'm tired. Tomorrow I'll get to exercise.

Feeling really tired and I think it may be a touch of sinusitis, probably from the extra dry air. Bob turned on the house humidifier and that should help.

It was only 16 degrees when I walked Elray this morning, but this afternoon felt very pleasant. We got all 8 windows installed in my playhouse.

Another tough one.

Mostly we have been working on my playhouse. Got the first two windows in today. Six more to go.
