Gary’s post: Well, it’s spring wind season in New Mexico. This week windy with sustained in the 20-mpg range and gusts into the 50’s. It’ll be a rockin’ good time in the RV!! And the dust will be everywhere. The weekend brings snow shows that will evaporate in about 20 seconds. Weather in New Mexico is always the topic of conversation.
Today is all about finishing up a draft of messaging for Itron’s DTECH show at the end of the month. I’ll be focused on this and trying to get a draft of it done by end-of-day. I need to get Jaret focused on getting ready and out the door tomorrow. He’s going to take his motorcycle test today. Hysterical watching him get comfortable riding his bike around the property. Can’t count how many times he killed the bike. On the plus side, his dog, Juni chased him around the property until she couldn’t run because she was too tired. Only good dog is a tired dog!!
Falling into more of a routine. With the winds, it’ll be tumbleweed mania outside our gate. Our entrance faces west, so with south-west winds we get tumbleweeds stacking up from, the neighbors’ properties. The wind blows them over the fences and into our fence where they stack up. I have a large tumbleweed pile in the back of the property which I’ll burn once the winds die down. If I had a chipper, we could create tumbleweed mulch – interesting thought.
Yesterday my oldest turned 40. He had a great day and was enjoying his family, which we were missing being here. Unfortunately, can be everywhere. I do miss them but here is where I need to be and retire. It’s slower and I’m more active around the property. I need to be more careful though. Keep getting bumps and bruises because of the blood thinners. I’ll be off them in a couple of months, which will be better. I still have to get my trip booked to Seattle for April!! Hopefully later this week.
So much more to talk about, but I need to get moving on today. Laundry, work and just going to the bank later if I have time. Considering replacing my Garmin smartwatch with an Oura ring and going back to a normal watch. I need to monitor my health, but having a smartwatch ties me to work too much. I’m thinking it makes more sense to get untied and try to relax as bit more.
To anyone reading this, have a great day and practice patience and relaxation. Take care.
