Just got a call that DIL will be having her twins today! They’re waiting for DS to arrive. DW is at the hospital. Twins are only 33 weeks along, but doctors say they need to come out today. Exciting day!

DSD's twin girls will be three in August....they're very close, but share no common traits...they're a hoot, (as is their 6 1/2 year old sister)...enjoy!

I made a jig so I could drill all the holes straight and at the same position every time. Still took all day.

Played in the sprinklers with the triplet grandsons (age 5 1/2) then made some water balloons and then it was squirt guns. After this great cool down we had some ice cold water melon and then seed spitting contest. I think the seed spitting was their favorite
activity of the day. Now fixing to settle in for a 30 min nap.

Up early, DW couldn't sleep. She's finally admitting her legs hurt badly. I don't understand. Her knees starting bothering her when she started doing treadmill prior to lifting weights. Well last week we put out mulch, she did the bending over bit and both legs below her knees are reddish like a rash but they ache too. Poor thing can barely walk. After a discussion, she sees her PCP Monday morning.

I did the gym by myself today, all cardio. I'm still trying to get my heart to slow down after exercising. It was in the 70s earlier and still is? I don't understand. For several weeks post-exercise heartrate has been over 100 for hours.

We called a company to give us an estimate for paving our driveway yesterday. He was a no show but called today and asked to come over for a bid. I'd had a few on concrete but for half price I'm doing asphalt. They got approval from the HOA to go around the approval process and they payed the $50 fine. There is a crew of 8 out there now. Done by dark.

Went pheasant hunting (to photograph not to kill). Saw 5 or 6 and got 5.4 miles of walking in. Then cut the grass and paid the real estate taxes. Then bought a new Stihl weed eater and did the trimming.
