Getting back to 'Normal'...

Yesterday, I took Oliver back to Boise for his flight home. All went well - The Boise airport is so much easier than the large city airports. It was hard to see him go after all the fun we had, but I must say I am looking forward to some physical recovery time. I'm not as young as I use to be...

So, today I did some chores that have been on the back burner. I also took the shotgun down to a local gunsmith to figure out why it wasn't working properly. I found out that the shells we used didn't have large enough loads to make the gun eject and reload properly - Go figure...

I was checking out the 'estate' grounds and saw a bunch of 'tracks', covered in dead grass, in the lawn. It's from vols, these little mouse/rat like creatures that have invaded the lawn. They have been around for a couple of years, but have never attacked the lawn before. So, I put out some vol eradication stuff and hopefully they will all go away before they do any more damage.

Work was suppose to begin on the new granite and tile work in DaHouse today, but I guess the installers have gotten behind in another job and it won't start until next week. I wish someone would have told me about the delay. If I wasn't so worn out, I could have went fishing today to catch one of those large river Sturgeons - which is my current goal.

Thursday, I am having a PET scan. Its like a CAT scan, but first they inject you with radioactive sugar stuff and track where it goes. I guess they can check for any cancer or 'high' growth areas by looking for concentrations of the radioactive material. I haven't had one for three years, but this will be my third one and they are always BIG fun. The down side is that they often produce 'false positives' that must be researched and resolved. I put it off until after Oliver's visit so there wouldn't be any 'issues' to cause concern during the big trip.

Oliver has grown so much since last year. He continues to grow into an outstanding young man. We are very proud to have him as a Grandson and enjoyed having him stay here with us in DaHo...
