Nickel Farm

Heard from my doctor’s office today.  All test results were negative. Surprise, surprise!  Good information to have, however.

Researched sun altitude and azimuth angles at a local architect’s home today.  I need this information so I can design my walipinis (underground greenhouses) correctly for 39 degrees 28 minutes north latitude.

Chopped more wood today trying to keep ahead of my daily use.  Hoping to get enough to last until I can re-supply at Becky’s house down south.

Went to church with Amy and her family and enjoyed a delicious dinner with them before departing.  Attended a church meeting in a small town en route home.

Still in the city so no Nickel Farm news to report.

I dutifully appeared at the doctor’s office at 12:00 noon today.  They drew five vials of blood for annual routine tests.  Since I had driven a considerable distance to the city, I had lunch, went to a movie with a friend and then, later, to a dance.

Received a call from my doctor’s office informing me that in order to renew my blood pressure prescription, I will have to visit his office in person.  What a racket!

Worked some more on my grading plan and had breakfast of 9-grain cooked cereal with chopped up apple and banana.  After lunch, I sawed and chopped up a boatload of wood.  Be interesting to see how long it lasts.  Of course, there’s always furniture that can be burned if I get in a pinch.  Guess I will take my neighbor up on his offer of some emergency firewood from his shed before I get that drastic.  Actually, most of my furniture looks like it should be set afire.
