Still Getting Better - Again - Part 3...

For the third time, I am still getting better. I hope it continues and I am finally over this mess. Today, I go see a blood doctor to have them check some test result that came out bad. Depending upon how it goes, I either can stop taking the blood thinner meds after this is over, or I will have to keep taking them from now on. It isn't that big of a deal either way, except that I have to be more careful when taking it as I could bleed out if I had bad cuts.

I have been trying to extract the data off of Aaron and Tara computer hard drive. But, I cannot get any computer to identify the drive as being present and therefor none of my hard drive magic will work. It is very frustrating to spend so much effort on something and not produce any results. I can usually get the data off of the drives, but these newer models had different controller logic boards on them and I guess if it gets trashed, it is done. There are services that can rebuild the logic boards, but it cost a lot of money. Let this be a lesson to all of us to be sure our valuable data is backed up and safe...

Tommy is doing very well. He is the smartest dog I have seen. He learns a trick, like sit or down, in a couple of hours. We took him to a training class and the teacher was very impressed with him, and still being so young. He is also doing much better in his potty training. Either that or he is getting much smarter in where he is hiding it...

Pam is going to take him to the weekly classes on Wednesdays and I am going to play in the weekly pool tournaments that have just started up again for the summer. It will be great to play pool again. We have had stuff piled on top of our pool table for a few months as I just haven't been up to it for a long time.

This weekend, we are going back up to Sun Valley to see Kenny Loggins perform. I guess Roberta couldn't get us another condo this time so we are going to be staying with her and her dogs and bird.

Her bird does the weirdest thing I think I have ever seen. If you put a piece of regular paper down on the table, the bird will take his beak and cut pieces of paper out about 1/4" wide and about 3" or 4" long. They are very straight cuts and after he as cut one out, he picks it up in his beak and after turning it around the right way with his tongue, turns his neck around and inserts the piece of paper in his closed wings as a new feather. Given some time, he will have 5 to 10 new paper feathers installed. It is really amazing how precise his cuts and shapes are and from what Roberta says, he will do it any time there is a piece of paper available to use.

We finally found some great fans for the new backyard patio cover. We got two of them and had the electrician install them a couple of days ago. They work together and are remote controlled. Very nice. Hopefully, we will finally be able to start using the patio since we purchased it in November of last year when the prices were great.

Pam's son Johnny had his 25th birthday - we wish him a very happy birthday...

Well, I must be off to the blood doctor. Anyway, that is about all that has happened here in DaHo...
