Summer time and the trucking is easy! One of my rear turn signal lights went out on the truck. The dealer would charge $100 to replace the bulb. So, I went to the dealer's part's department and asked for a replacement bulb. Cost: $4.00.

I decided to change the bulb right there in case I ran into any problems. Fortunately, that decision worked out well--they had given me the wrong bulb and I exchanged it while I was there. My turn signals are signalling turns once again.

One thing I noticed while I was putting in the new bulb--my hand and wrist strength and motion is really poor. Luckily, I didn't need to exert a lot of force to take out and replace the screws that held the assembly in place--but it was not easy for me to use the screwdriver--it's like my hands and wrists didn't work! Oh, well! I got it done even with my limited motion/strength.

Of course, I ate lunch and came back and crashed for the afternoon. It was like a summer day today. Now, it's a summer evening. Had Indian food for lunch. Yum! Had lunch with L--she gave herself a 3-day weekend.

Got some additional notes from Rebecca regarding diet issues and how to get a copy of the "pulses" book that tells me how to monitor what I eat with pulse readings. Pulse rates go up when anyone eats foods to which they are allergic. Simple process to identify food culprits in the diet.

We "spring forward" this weekend. New regime! Three weeks earlier than normal. I'm sleeping so much anyway it won't matter that much to me. Guten nacht! Guten tag! It's all the same to me!
