Good afternooning all. We have just had a couple of short sharp thunderstorms with hail in the last couple of hours. Maybe 20 minutes each... very wet! The upside it was that the queue at the supermarket was non-existent during the second storm so I got straight in :)

Hi everyone...I've been very sick the last 11 daze...had a Drs appt but they make you stand at the door and they take your temperature...mine was 101...they sent me away and at home I got sicker...temp 102. I became weird...didn't know what was happening to me, unable to get out of bed...spent 2 freakin nights on a gurney in the ER. Had a Covid-19 test...negative. I have pneumonia, pleurisy and an inflamed esophagus... but my estranged son and my DIL stepped up to the plate and entertaining themselves on Smart phones in my house and taking care of me....fed me changed sheets etc. I started getting better Thursday. Very weak, but improving.
So here I am...weak and weird but recovering...I'm trying not to over do...and NASCAR is back so another reason to just lay around...
my laptop died, so my son hooked up this old Chromebook, it has some old photos...Look here I am with 4 Sulcata...the biggest one is Bob...IMG_0294.JPG

I've been wondering about you. Sorry to see you've been so sick and glad you're getting better. It's crazy times right now. Before this virus came along you probably would have been hospitalized. I managed to worm my way out of that when I fractured my ribs last year or so by waiting a few days before I went to the er. They said due to my age I would have been. And that was only a couple fractured ribs. Not pleurisy and everything you are going through. So keep getting better and enjoy the races! I suspected that's what you were up to...

Geeeeeze. We went from frost in our outdoor planters to hot Hot HOT n humid today. Been cutting & fitting boards for our deck AND moved Ms Sully OUTSIDE for 2020. The first step outside onto fresh green grass & chomping away...chomping on everything green. Clover, grass, plantain & large clover leaves from red clover.

I bet that was fun to watch. Saphire's second day out was today. I had to wait several days to get him out again. Ohio weather is crazy. But he's little enough that I can pick and choose his outdoor time.

My torts have been going out for a couple of weeks now....they bask and graze with 80 degrees and rain...down to 60, sun and rain...back to 75 sun and rain...get the picture?
Speaking of pictures...about 4000 are on my laptop that died...so I will be taking new photos and posting them as soon as I can figure out how to use this Chromebook with photos...

What do you mean by “Died” here it usually means it has no more Battery/ you need to charge it.

First day/night out in Sully’s old/smaller outside night box. I always get a bit nervous hoping that all the connections are good, and heat mat and RHP working. Temperature on the deck this morning was 58. Sullys topside was an even 90. All good.

It warms up nicely for 1 day and then drops to fifties and freezing at night around here. It has until the past week. Maybe you want to find out exactly what's going on with your computer before you give up on it. I thought mine died too. My brother David was able to start It up in a safe area though. After the diagnostic test got done I had to set a new code but everything else was still there. That would be awful to lose all of those pictures. I accidentally lost around 3500 once. I erased a memory card. I'm still hoping they are in a cloud and will turn up somewhere. Computers are just a machine and parts can go bad. Hopefully you won't lose your pictures.

Sorry, I didn't see you have it specialists around like me....

How's it going!? Are you doing good with your new leg and getting the hang of it?
Getting better with my leg. Setting goals by going to each neighbor's driveway going down the street. The final goal will be to the end of the street and back. To the end of the street is about 200 yards. I am only at about 50 yards there and back.
Then I start losing the proper form. I really miss my PT. I cant replicate some of the excercises at home.
