101322

 swam 2100 yards, started out as a straight crawl for 1500 and i just couldn't stop.  did all the im surprisingly.  First some fat person tried to outswim me and didn't last very long, then the swim team got in and i had to try to keep up with them and before you know it, 2100 yards.

Considering how i couldn't sleep last night might be a good thing, might not.  my insomnia doesn't seem to care what i do anymore.

It is just now 5am.  i was worried about leaving the pump running all night, had dreams about it, but it still has a few hours of water even though it is pumping out at a prodigious rate, murky stuff that makes me think i need oyster boots.  I cant see to the bottom so i suspect the pump is on its side so i need to right it before i go to work so the shut off valve will work, but there is no rush to that given thtat i cant see to it through the murky water and dont really want to wade deeply into it.

Today i get the grants out and hopefully finish with the response so i can set up that meeting and not worry with it over the weekend.  Plenty of other stuff to worry with.

I was back to seeing ghosts this morning, one uncomfortably close. What does it mean, what do they want, if a figmentof my mind, what do i want.

My back even after the swim does not hurt but it feels stiff even after doing my back exercises.  none of those words is right, its like after a pinched nerve, but no pinched nerve first.  i will need to walk today.  it is a little muggy outside, unfortunately.  i saw cool weather on the report, where is it,  held up by the storm or coming this evening to ease my walk.

If only I was a mouse instead of a rat,  eh?

Distant thunder has gotten closer as a cool front, the one i mentioned hearing about, apparently rolls in this morning.

It is still dark out.  i havent seen the cats come back in but i suspect they have come in too.  it was too dark to let them out, but i had been out with a flashlight at the pool and supposed it was safe enough.

The dead tree is standing at 3500 to take down.  Ouch.  This is the third tree of this type I have had to deal with.  I will get a couple of additional estimates today.  I also need to deal with some doctor stuff.

Well the rain is here, but i doubt it will last long.  It will keep me from checking out the pool but i was not going to do that till it was bright.  Hopefully some clean rain water will ease the murkiness.  This afternoon i will begin powerwashing weather permitting.  The time it took to draing the pool, with the half horsepower pump that seemed to generate a pretty strong stream of water, will be over 48 hours with no breaks of any consequence except moving the pump for a minute or two.

A tree stump from my walk tonight. 
The grants are all away though they need work.
