Not much work around the house yet this week. Work Tuesday, and then I got called in for a delivery today… and it was almost an hour and a half away drive wise… so a good part of the day.
I did get the rest of this next gabion tied yesterday morning. I got up and the cable was out.. no internet and no cable.. and it being nice out I went out to tie. So Friday I start getting ready to place it. I need to cut a few more trees off the roof.. do some excavating.. put down crushed rock.. and place the basket. Then I can start filling it. I am not sure how long that prep will take.. but wanted a good block of time free for it.
I was running low on wire and picked up some this morning on the way to work. I still have plenty to do on the barn also… so I won't run out of work.
Our ride got rained out last night. We do hope to do the group mountain bike ride tonight.
My appointment was good.. or mostly good. My Blood pressure was up..and I didn't have numbers from home to share with him. It seems to be more erratic at the moment. Although a couple weeks ago at my Urologist.. it was pretty darn good.. and it's usually high at the doctors. Anyways my PCP wants me to take numbers again and check back in a week. Then as he was leaving he said losing just 5 pounds can make a big difference in BP. I don't remember exactly how he said it but it was subtly sneaky..
I thought it kind of cool the way he did it. I am heavier than I was.. and someone looking at me would not say I was heavy. He would not have said anything had my bp been normal. We might have to adjust my meds for it, but he knows.. that I would like, and would do something to prevent that.
I mentioned it on FB and man the reactions. I just thought it was cool the way he did it. Anyways.. all my other numbers were good. Even despite not fasting for the blood work.. my cholesterol was good.. my blood sugar numbers.. my PSA.. everything looked pretty good.
