He is fit, well and still snores “like 90 bears” .\u00c2\u00a0 A few nights ago\u00c2\u00a0I shot a big hare that he fetched, and carried home.\u00c2\u00a0 After playing with it for an hour\u00c2\u00a0I came outside to find him asleep using the hare as a pillow.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n Critaclly the lawn tractor has been broken while someone in Wisconsian builds and then seemingly walked the part here.\u00c2\u00a0 I jest but it has taken two weeks to get the part and the lawn has reached the hay stage.\u00c2\u00a0 Its going to be a LONG process to mow it and get the place looking nice.\u00c2\u00a0 Vegitation control is the plan for the weekend.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n What is up with me?\u00c2\u00a0 Well on the health front I’ve stopped eating wheat and I’m very very sad to report I feel better for it. less itchy, less bloated and well hungry.\u00c2\u00a0 The Doc has pronounced me fit with a good heart, low cholesteral and generaly fit (if not just a little fat).\u00c2\u00a0 I walk most mornings for 30 minutes a 0600. On the work front after six months of restructuring, tension, interviewing and people acting\u00c2\u00a0as if they were caught in amber ….. the status quo is the way forward.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh ….
