In hockey they say "good things happen when you go to the net." This is twice now that "good things happen when I go to the yard." Today's good thing was not only wood salvaged, but also a delightful visit with our mail carrier who used to live in this house as a child, when it had a totally different layout. We had a nice chat about the reetny-moved housemate. :~)

As far as activity feedback for what should be a normal trip and chore for me.... WITH the med I can barely make it to the road and back. The GOAL is to be able to SNOWBLOW that entire long driveway-- my half of the chore as agreed with Hardi when we bought the blower. Meds that interfere with that activity-- and do no measurable good-- are not good meds. I found the doc back in Chicagoland who first monitored my BP. I wish I had remembered him while I was just THERE and gone to see him, but I will be asking the doc today to do a phone consult with him-- he was pretty conservative in his meds approach, is a faculty doc, and they will play well.
