    They have various tasks…painting or putting stuff away, clearing things or prepping for contests they occasionally have. Not sure if my "skills" would be helpful, but I can offer it. Not far from home so if I'm not useful, I can go back home. Leafy green salads were our mainstay when DH was alive…various proteins tossed in…I haven't been able to do it yet. Haven't been able to find a decent tomato (not trying really hard this year). I have a frozen "log" of mozz cheese for DH's favorite capresse salad….ugh.

    I had the opposite problem…..I gained almost 70 pounds in a year….I went from running 90-100 miles a week and eating normally to "depressed eating"and "just sitting there".

    The local gun club here is always needing stuff done at the range and I'd guess 90% of the things are only very tangentially related to shooting or firearms. I'm guessing it would be the same there.

    This morning I brought in a dozen vine ripened Roma tomatoes from the garden. I rinsed one off and ate it like a peach. It was wonderful and far better than the store bought ones.

    Minus, 101 degrees is too hot to cook. It sounds like you have figured out how to make meals without turning on the stove.

    Wally, Keep on hanging in there.

    The stars aligned tonight and I was able to attend a live performance of Verdi’s Requiem outside at the Hatch Shell. Temps were in the low 80’s so with the breeze off the river it was comfortable. The last time I tried to go to a concert it was moved inside due to the threat of thunderstorms; that nixed it for me.

    Dinner tonight was “steakhouse pasta” from the hospital cafe which was good. I have never had this before so I’ll have to do some research and try to replicate it
