Almost

The kitchen work is almost done.  I need to paint two window frames, crown molding and two door frames and install the lighting in the cabinets. A couple of hours should do it all.    Wow, what a change in looks! From old country over the top decorations  to new world in a couple of years.   In these pictures, we are looking at the same corner.  The old kitchen is staged for the sales brochure by the previous owners.  I staged the new one to look "normal"


 
The only pieces we kept from the previous kitchen were the garbage disposal and frig.  The rest is basically new or completed refurbished. We are pretty happy with the turn out.   I will get a panorama shot in the blog was soon as we get the trim finished. 
 
I did run this week!!! The weather was cool and looked like rain was coming over the hill, so I ran on the gym's 1/11 mile track. I really need to get outside and on the track.  I felt strong and had a pretty good workout.   I was trying out some 6 ounce Under Armour ultra light shoes.  They are light, but tended to move around on my foot too much and were going to be a blister.  So I switched back to my New Balance old reliables and did not blister. I also lost my heart beat sender and was without any electronic support!!!  I have a spare I need to learn how to use and will have the electronically hooked up next session, which should be today.  Although it is raining like crazy right now.     
 
Today is second day after running, and the soreness is light in the legs.  The hips are the worst, but I did not have any injuries out of the chute and will get in some running today, albeit indoors.  Track season has officially made it!

First Time Ever?

Things are just a little crazy with the chaos associated with the coronavirus and the global reaction.   Talking with my wife and brother, as well as the rest of the world that will still chat with you, nobody can remember anything quite like this situation.   The crash into the Twin Towers on 9-11 had some elements of the situation, but the total shutdown of sporting events, meetings, global travel and the run on water, sanitizer and toilet paper is just totally new to us.  The Master Indoors meet was cancelled this week, I was not planning on going this year.   I am in the middle of relocation from Nashville to Harper Ferry , West Virginia.  On March 31 we will close on the Brentwood house and close on the new place on April 2.   Getting this into place has been a real battle, but it is going to happen.    We are on our third contract for the Brentwood house and after trying to sell it for 9 or 10 months it will close this ...

Enough!

 I have been voting in Presidential elections since I first cast a vote for Jimmy Carter.  In that election cycle, the country was trying to get the Nixon residue off and Carter was something different and hopefully better.   He was and still is a wonderful human being, but his Presidency did not go well.   Oil shortages, inflation and huge unemployment figures and he was a one termer.  He was not able to make any headway against a very stiff headwind.       I am at the point of this election cycle I cannot wait  to cast a vote against the worst President of all time..  The first Tuesday in November cannot get here soon enough.     I do not think we will ever elect anything as bad as this again.  We will not survive a country if we do.    Is Joe Biden the candidate of my choice--probably not.  Is a mafia Don like we have in place now?? NO!  Does Joe have some seasoning as a leader?...

Time to run my mouth a bit

I raced last Saturday in Nashville at Stratford High School in the TN USATF meet.   This meet is an annual get together and gives everyone their first chance to run outdoors with electronic timing.   The weather was as usual-- threatening --that is what this meet has always attracted, but we only had limited rain, and no wind or lightning.   No lightning is a huge plus to get the races ran.   As I stated, there was no wind, the track was wet and as a result quite cool and that made for great running conditions.  The track would really push back when you compressed it with your spikes.   I set up my shelter near the 100 meters starting line and keep all my gear dry as could be for the event. We ran the 60 meters first with 5 or 6 people in the heat and some were quite a bit younger and faster.   I used my own blocks and that was a plus, the blocks provided did not dig into the track very well and were a little scary due ...
