Steady rain moved on!

 Here at camp yesterday, Memorial Day morning we had rain. A day later blue sky. I was able to burn twigs and finance papers in the resulting wet. Within the next weeks all the early summer bugs hatch. 

File cabinet documentation for me

 Friday 10AM appointment with urologist. I stop my least favorite pill in weeks. Then mid afternoon same day an appointment with the oncologist. Each six months I will alternate one doctor then the other. All for an attacker often benign except when it escapes to become lethal. So November and May followups scheduled. dlj 5/24/2026

Broken hearing aid.

 After four years the gentle flexing of the wire connecting the transmitter to the in-ear- speaker resulted in fatigue and failure. The audiologist said it was time for a follow on hearing test anyway.

Based on a cancellation my appointment was sooner not later.

In a second mini event today, the tire pressure system warning on Kathy's van cleared itself. What does that do for us? No service required. 

We are in the mode of UPTACAMP. That means moving pump, expansion tank, tools and specialized tools to camp. We were there on Saturday on a pleasant 68F afternoon. Blow down branches, decisions for use of the good dock and decrepit  dock will be in play for weeks.

A Doctor in the house!

 A nephew. 

Quite an accomplishment. A big congratulations. 

Just remembered also one in Arizona, a niece. Or in each case a grand nephew and a grand niece.

Travel.

 Land in Colorado a week ago. Walk on the University of Colorado Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Drive to Omaha on Sunday. Return home after visits with sons and family in both states.

WHERE, WHY, NOW

 Noisey tent on the campus of THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO. Why? Granddaughter Sarah graduation from the school of Civil Engineering. A pleasant Friday afternoon. May FIRST, 2026.
