Finished the design for the forklift for my tractor. Now to draw the building plans. Working the day job all weekend though and getting ready for an out of town conference next week. Somehow this part-time gig has grown to way more than part-time. Cutting way back after the conference. Everyone has been alerted. They agree. But we will see when push comes to shove. Time for me to set my boots in concrete and become immovable on the subject.
And one more thing. Discovered I need to deal with high blood pressure, so the dialing in of meds is underway. Started with 1/3 of the suggested dosage. Came down a bunch. Swelling in feet and ankles nearly gone after just a few days. Today I introduce 2/3 for a while and see what it will settle into at that rate. When my Mom did this, she was at the recommended dosage and was throttled so far down she was doing nothing. My brother who is a retired pharmacist had her begin decreasing the dosage. After two years she was off of it all together. Two years later her doctor asked her why she wasn't filling her blood pressure medicine prescription. She told hm she had quit that stuff 2 years before! Lived to be 91.
