Walking - how many miles / steps today

Have a nice
quiet electric
trimmer. Along
the way a 2nd
battery was
bought in case
it was needed
to finish up
the show. It
has been used
many times w/o
delay to get
the job done
at one time.
Nice feeling
when the work
is completed.

Been a tough
year on my
back. Seems
anything that
is done ruins
my back for
days. Carrying
a pan of water
gets my back
in pain. Rained
heavily Sunday
w/strong t-storms.
Remained inside
to be safe and
take it ez.

Woke up at 14
y/o, sat up,
and felt some-
thing in my
lower back slide
over, then
excruciating
back pain, and
I hunched over
like an upside
down L. My dad
drove me to the
hospital where
the staff put
me on a sheet
of plywood 24/7
for 10 days. Had
a harness on my
chin and a weight
over the top of
the bed. God.

Yes, my back
hurts often &
for days at a
time. No amount
of exercises
cures it. Two
chiro's were
the only ones
to fix it right.
Both are gone.
Only sitting
w/lumbar support
or lying down
ease the pain.
A lifelong issue.

Had so much rain
a week ago my
area had standing
water. The heat
of each day dried
the puddles of
water. Here we
have clay under
the soil. The
lucky ones have
gravel or sand.
Cloudy this evening
with showers after
midnight. Low 67°
Warm night w/showers
tomorrow.

We had t-storms
in the AM & PM.
Sounded like a
canon war and
it poured like
a monsoon in
the South China
Sea. Watched it
rain as severe
as possible.
Lots of wind &
the crisp crack
of lightning.
Am very surprised
the utilities did
not go out.
