We were working on finding just the right color of paint, some kind of "warm gray". Got close but just a bit too dark. I'll take another stab at it tomorrow after the toilet repair. Not sure if Mike and Julia are gonna be able to make it down. Julia's knee is as painful as I knew it would be so she won't be traveling for a while and of course Mike lost his dad the other day.

Good morning gentlemen..I know that most of you if not all are still asleep aquiring much needed beauty rest and rejuvination, but since I am up and about I figured i would take a moment to check in.

Russ..How is your knee coming along? If it bothers you after a day of activity icing it down for about 20 minutes before bedtime will help alot to reduce swelling and make you more comfortable. I noted you are using grey paint in your house. I used a light grey on the walls with a white ceiling when I remodeled my apartment here and it came out really nice so good luck with that.

Mike ...my sincere condolences with regard to the loss of your father. I hope that your wife is coming along well with her knee. As I told Russ above she might want to use ice on her knee as often as needed for 20 minutes at a time to help reduce her pain. She should also not wait until the pain is unbearable before taking whatever pain meds she was given. The pain medication works best if you stay ahead of the curve.

To everyone else....well rest well and have a coffee on me upon awakening.
