up at 7:15, 80 - 56 hi/lo,feel stronger today. Went to the store and back then mowed the left side of the front yard,probably be able to finish the small side after it cools down.Waiting for my scooter platform to get here so I can get it set to go to Paul Alans WW2 airshow this weekend with Todd. Sure makes getting around easier.Still lack the confidecne in the batteries After sitting for most of a year w/o being charged,I need to run them down and re-charge them to get that deepcycle charge.

Wednesday: Up at 5:15am going to stanwood  to buy a scooter for myself.Found a new celebrity-X scooter cheap.A gentleman got one from L&I and didn't charged it once .6 months old and is brand new.A good investment for my future,such as it is.I got home about 1PM and was wiped out for the rest of the day. Seems whenever I have something out of the ordinary to do the next day,I can never sleep the night before,nothing special  just going.Didn't sleep a wink all night.

wednesday july 27

Up at 9:30,coffee and HOUSE my routine of late. Yesterday spent afternoon in baring,wa with a friend came home and was pretty much wiped out from the activity.Just walking is a chore lately.My joints in my hands seem to be getting tighter,painful to flex either hand.My rt hand has lost 90% of usefulness.My ring finger is the only one i can control enough to get some use out of.Contacted Kelly, my new insurance representitive,3rd one in a year,about the steps i need to get a scooter so I can be more self suffienct.I would like to go to the puyallup gun show this weekend but,without a scooter or chair its just a pipe dream.
