Snow day

We woke up to about 6 inches of heavy wet snow this morning.  While MasterK shovel the heavy snow off the driveway, me and Crystal had fun running in the snow at the backyard.  Fun...fun.

 The snow was very heavy and wet, so a big tree limb was broken off from a tree from next house.  The tree limb landed in our yard and rest on the fence between our houses.  Luckly we cut down all the trees in our yard, those trees were so tall and weak, their tree limbs could be broken off and hit our house.

Prime Rib

We went to visit Megan in UNC today.  MasterK forgot to put on my harness, so it was a fun day for me, he had to hold on to mom to walk around.  We all had prime rib for lunch, but MasterK didn't like it.  He said the prime rib was over cooked, too dry and too chewy, so he gave half the rib to me under the talble, Oh Yum Yum, I just love it.  Mom get MasterK some omelet and a piece of fish and he like them.  After eating, Megan took us walk around the campus. 

RIP, Teemeemee

My good friend, Teemeemee, die today at the age of 11.  I will miss her morning songs.  The photo posted yesterday was the last live photo of Teemeemee, RIP.

Good deed, bad burger

It was too cold, so we didn't walk this morning.
At around 110:30AM, Suzy and Bill, MasterK's coworkers, came to pick us up to the Longmont library.  MasterK has asked his CCTV Magnifier that he had used at work be donated to the Longmont library.  MasterK also donate his older 17" LCD monitor.  So today we bought the equipment to the library and MasterK gave demo on the equipment usage to the library staff.  Now, MasterK can read the magazines in the library.  This is the good deed.  Erica came to library to meet us for lunch also.

After the library, MasterK, Suzy, Bill, Erica, and couple of other coworkers met at Red Robin for lunch.  MasterK order a simply grilled burger and it took 30minutes for the food to arrive.  All the food for others took long time too.  The burger was only lukewarm, over cooked and tasteless and the steak fries was missing from the order.  MasterK said Big Mac taste better than this overly priced burger.

After lunch, Erica drove us home and then we have a long walk under afternoon warm sun.

Look at this cute picture, Teemeemee just sat on top of MasterK's computer speaker and watched him type for long time.  Erica said the old bird may be sick and losing weight

Senior citizen

With yesterday's birthday, MasterK is now officially a senior citizen.  He can join the Longmont senior center and have senior discount in some stores.  Too bad, McDonald's no longer offers senior coffee.



Erican took MasterK to her school for blood typing.  This is for student to practice drawing blood.  The student didn't do a good job.  It was painful and didn't get the blood on first try, and it was on the good arm.  The second try was done by the instructor and it was much better, not much pain and got the blood.  Supposely my blood type was O+.

We then went to Target to practice traffic check.  This is all happen because MasterK told the guide dog school that I didn't seem to avoid the car that was coming at us couple of weeks ago.  So, the trainer told MasterK to practice traffic check in a store.  We walked on an aisle, and Erica pushed a shopping cart at us at the right angle from left and right to see how I react.  I think I done OK, MasterK would report the result to the trainer, the school might or might not send a trainer out for more training.  sight... it just seem MasterK like to complain everyting I do.

MasterK's birthday lunch

Before talking about his lunch, let talk about MasterK's first ever low vision support group meeting.  This meeting also take place on 2nd Friday each month, school was closed today so Mom was able to drive him to this meeting.  WHen we got there, there was only one other old couple in the meeting.  We learned the person who regularly run this meeting is in a conference and someone else run the meeting today.  Apprently others knew about it and didn't show up.   We same a demo on a electronics handheld magnifier and JAWS screen reader.  It was 12:30PM by the time the meeting was over.

We decided to take MasterK to the Dum Sum place for his birthday lunch.  When we were there the restaurant was closed for renovation, the other buffet restaurant was also our of business, so we didn't eat anything, so disappointed.  It was 2:30PM by the time we finished grocery at the Asian supermarket.  So we just bought a roasted duck home for lunch.  MasterK was so hungry, he had to eat a bun on the way home.  Happy birthday, MasterK.

Bowling

Erica moved the Nintendo video game system to the lving room so MasterK has something to play with.  I think this is MasterK's first encounter with this game system as he had no clue how to work with the remote control.  Erica show him how to play the bowling game, big mistake on my part.
I was standing right in front of him when he swing the remote control which strike right in my face.  I think blind people shouldn't bowling.  I guess I didn't learn, either because I stood in front of him again few games later and I got smake in the face again.  Luckly he didn't take my eye out, otherwise I would need a guide dog too.

Rude people

Yesterday, a rude person pushed a bicycle out from a store and almost ran  into us, I guess he must be in a hurry.  He yelled at us in Spanish, and rode off in his bicycle.

Then last week, we almost got run over by a car, because the driver ran a stop sign.  What's wrong with people now a day, seem everyone is in a hurry.

 I hope high hope for Kindle Fire, but I find out it is not accessible for the blind.  I guess my hope for getting a cheap tablet this year is gone.

MasterK cooked ham omelet this morning.  It was good, consider he can't see to well.  He didn't drop anything on the floor this time, but he gave me a piece of ham anyway,  yum.

I am back

Master K shut down our website just in case the social security and Long term disability people find him able to create a website, this may be considered work, and deny his benefits.  Now a day, SSA and insurance companies would find any excuse to deny benefit.  We saw a news recently that a person post some photos on her facebook having some fun time, and her benefit was terminated.
