    I was sick with Covid from July 4th and able to return to work on July 22nd; the first week was horrible but I did get better.

    Ive had a change of lifestyle; before it didn’t bother me to sit on the couch and binge an entire season of a TV show, now; I’ll watch maybe three or four episodes a week. There is more to life than sitting in the house.

    I have gained a renewed interest in my lamps and fettling but I’m also quite the groundskeeper around Casa de SWMBO.

    When she wants a waterfall to relax by.

    The fence line needed some work.

    My newest project is a cactus sanctuary.

    That’s one of my hobbies anyway; what else do you guys and gals do?

    Hello John, I enjoy gardening especially growing vegetables and I go beach combing and hill walking and photography is combined with those last two.
    I enjoy restoring and upgrading computers.

    Hello David;

    The turf arrived on a pallet; too may pieces to count. 100 degrees and all of the humidity; it was drying out fast so I just yanked it off so it could breathe
