Good evening on this hot and sticky evening. 75 degrees with a muggy dewpoint of 68. Hot and humid weather continues tommorow although the expected high temperature is a few degrees less than today. Temperatures will continue to drop a few more degrees throughout the remainder of the week with increasing chance of rain come Friday.

Thursday I will probably go back to work. The orthopedic doctor said I could go back to work tommorow in the office but I think I want to give my foot one more day to heal. I only have occasional pain but my sprained ankle is clumsy and slow, although the boot and crunches/hiking stick helps. Rather not do further damage, so taking it easy.

I can certainly go fishing this weekend but at this point it ain’t easy getting in or out of my jacked up truck. I walk as slow as the slowest senior but at least I can get around on both feet. The injuries aren’t permanent and should heal within a month and be able to fully get around by the time most of the hunting seasons open up. I guess I could hunt squirrels with the sprain boot on in early September but that could be a challenge.

Good afternoon. It has reached 89 degrees in Delmar and is hazy, hot and humid. The humidity is expected to break tommorow and will be in the mid 70s for a high by midweek.

I’m quite excited that the orthopedic doctor looked at my foot and declared it just to be an ankle sprain based on the location of the injury. The broken toe bone was old, they think I must have broken it as a young kid. I don’t remember but I did a lot of stupid shit as a young kid. I have been limping around since the injury but at least I can once again put weight on the foot if I wear the big sprain boot they gave me.

Four weeks wearing the sprain boot I guess. But I can take it off at times and probably by Labor Day Weekend get out camping. Probably take the week off after the final check up and do some camping and hunting. I’ll miss the evening walks but at least I can get around and go back to work.
