Finally managed to see the doctor about my itchy mole, turned out to be nothing. Got him to check over others while he was at it, all clear.

Also asked him to have a look at my wrist, which has been sore for the past two weeks after doing some more fencing. I couldn't resist the opportunity for a joke. He asked me what I'd been taking for the pain, I said "Just a cup of concrete."

Seems to be some ulna damage that should right itself over time. Funnily enough it's at its worst when I'm using my computer mouse, but I can wield a hammer and carry heavy things without a problem. I've moved my mouse to my left hand in the interim, and spend most of my day playing "spot the cursor" accordingly.

Good news!
I had to use left hand for the mouse when having right shoulder issues. Took a while but I got pretty proficient.

I used these when playing online games. Years of keyboards at work and online gaming... Yes, they work for me.

I'm so glad that it wasn't a melanoma cancer!!

Matt would it help if you dropped down from the broadsword to an epee when your fencing
nyuck nyuck nyuck but seriously good news on the mole.

Gene, we'll have to do that setup when we paint the master bedroom . I am NOT looking forward to it.
Getting all of that crap to the second floor without trashing the hallway paint, stairs or banister.

The scaffolding comes down today!!!

Bea and I volunteer at the Delaware Agricultural Museum, since we both grew up on farms and feel a bond with farming. I am on the Board of Directors and Bea has volunteered to take over the landscaping of an 1893 farmhouse that is on the property. So, today we spent a few hours weeding the planting beds and planting a few flowers. (More to do, though!) Our backs sure feel the pain tonight! Here are a couple pics I made today:








The museum grounds are located on a very picturesque area on Silver Lake in Dover.

Really nice of you and Bea, Gene! I'm sure you'll do a great job.
