Some good news

We had torrential rains leftover from hurricane Laura and I am happy to say our basement stayed dry.  More rain is predicted for the weekend so we are keeping our  fingers crossed.  

I wasn't able to do my new hobby, water drainage sleuthing, as I just got home from the hospital after hip replacement surgery. As many of you know in the past two years my left hip quickly deteriorated due to osteoarthritis.  I had the surgery on Thursday. I am home now and have been asleep almost the whole time. I suspect that work on my layout will be very limited for the next month or so.  The good news is I can walk without pain and going up and down stairs is easy. However, getting out of bed is tough.  Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, and my wife for the excellent care I am receiving. 

Check back in a few weeks when I start the next phase of the Aquia Line expansion.
