Lots of chores inside this week end, had planned on working outside. One of my tasks was to get rid of my burn pile then try burning out some of the blackberry bushes on the perimeter fence. For reason we are in a no-burn period so can't do that. I suspect it may have something to do with the temp and inversion? Not really a problem - - easy task for the near future.
Last Tuesday I had another tooth implant, actually just the post inserted then in 3 months or so when the post is anchored in the bone I get the tooth. I started this process last year with a tooth extraction then bone graft. This procedure last week took about 1 hour and at a cost of about 2K. Wish I had all the money that I have invested in my teeth over the years? I have included an animated YouTube video of the procedure if you are interested in how they do it. I visualized the whole process as they were working in my mouth and it was pretty close. Here
As a follow-up to some of our tales of woe late last year - this is what has transpired. (1) Kathy paid her speeding ticket (expensive) and has signed up for a on-line traffic course, (2) the roof and ceiling in Tracy have been repaired and proofed tested with a nice rain last week (3) the car roof scrape from the garage door incident has not been resolved. I contacted ( with pics) our auto body shop and they have not responded with a quote - I suspect that this job may be too small and not paid by insurance, I will work with other shops to get a estimate, etc. (4) the cows and horses have been moved and will not return - as the folks have moved to Red Bluff , we are looking for another neighbor who may want to use the pasture and (5) I took Kathy's car back to the tire shop or re-alignment, the tires were out of balance, not sure what happened with that? We are ready and set for new challenges in 2013 - bring them on!!
Kathy has been very busy as she heads down uncharted waters with her new art mediums. At present she is into drawing - she has several classes on-line which she is taking and much of the work comes from assignments from the classes. She is very impressed with the work of other - nice process where the students get to post their work for other so so a critique. She likes the interaction and challenges that these courses provide.
Last week she created a piece for a friend suffering from cancer. She collaborated with another friend in preparing a book of quotes to lift his spirits. Kathy's artwork will be on the front cover of the book. Kathy enjoyed this project - a little extra pressure as it had to be done a specified time period. I am sure her hard work will be appreciated.
Looking forward to Broncos (donkeys) football playoff today with the Baltimore Panthers. We don't have Tv so I am stuck with listening to it on the Internet radio. It should be a good game - looks like they are favored which may not be a good thing? I have been wearing my Bronco hat at the golf course and the peeps are giving me the business. I have worn it in years past without any fanfare much different this year as they are certainly on a winning streak and I hope they can go all the way to the Super Bowl!!
Not much else for news - - - hope you all have a great week.
More later
Ron, Kathy, Tessie and Sammie (the cat)
