I learned today I need to get a building permit before I start constructing my pergola. No worries on that, my plans for the thing are rock solid. But I have to submit a sketch with my application. I tried to sketch it by hand, but I just can’t pull that off since the cancer. My list of projects for this spring is starting to get going. In a few weeks, my area will be at its average date of last frost (March 15 or s0) so I need to have my vegetable garden ready for planting. That means I need to have the area fenced to keep the rabbits out. It’s nice and toasty this week (in the 60′s), so I think I’m going to get that fence installed. A few wooden posts, steel t-posts to supplement, and rabbit fencing. I plan on installing a pair of gates since it’s a big garden, too. Once that is done, I can get to planting some woody species…I absolutely want some blackberries. Maybe some raspberries, too. As I work out a good way to hang my hammock with a minimum of knotwork (that derates the cord and is complicated to tie, especially in the dark) and metal hardware (that’s heavy), I settled on whoopie slings. Grizzly Adams from Hammockforums has a nice video that does a good job of explaining how they work. SlowBro also has a pictoral on how to make the whoopie sling. I had a doctor’s appointment on Thursday last week. The objective was to get another blood test and to get another MRI of my head to see if I was ready to get some low dose follow-up chemo. I got there a bit early, around 9:30am (considering I live 3hrs away, that’s early). I had them print my list of appointments before I got my labs drawn. Ugh…10:30am blood draw and 10:30pm MRI. Who does this kinda crap? So I go to get my blood drawn an hour early while my wife attempts to get my MRI rescheduled later. She has to work Fri morning and leaving Houston sometime after midnight (the MRI itself takes ~45 min) is not cool. My favorite nurse ever, Nurse Glenda pulled some strings and I got my MRI done before noon. Way to go Nurse Glenda! |
