The morning started out bright with the dawn sky on display, The half moon was at 11 o’clock in the sky, slight cirrus clouds over the Sierras. The clearing over the Sierras was filled with analogous colors ranging from: brown, red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, blue and navy blue. There were some sparse alto cirrus clouds and they were illuminated to a cream to white color. As the morning progressed the colors grew lighter to shades of pastel colors. The rabbits were out grazing in the field and Lebron the rabbit was the sole rabbit grazing by the basketball court. As the sky grew lighter, the rabbits in the field went away, except for Lebron. Finished walking 6 miles at 8:00 AM, i 1 hour 11 minutes and 30 seconds. Average walking times were: 11 minutes and 55 seconds per mile (milla) or 1 minute and 58 seconds per lap (vuelta). The pace was pretty fast as I worked up a sweat and it felt good. Stretched and split stretched at the basketball court in partial sunlight until 8:30 AM.

She missed my call last night because she was a sleep. The dogs are well and are running around in the yard. She walked 7248 Steps, 16.1 Inches step length and symmetry was 89%. Yesterday was the 43rd consecutive days she has closed the ring on her iPhone app. She asked about the lady who had a stroke who walked on the trail with me. I told her she was walking normally without her brace or cane which is what Doris should do to improve her walking. It takes a lot of work but eventually she was able to walk normally. She asked about Lebron, I told her he was out by the basketball court and I fed it some apple cores. Also I think Lebron knows I am not a threat. I told her I will have ACE Classes, GED/ ESL tutoring classes and some minor sewing. I told her I caught up on my daily dairy and am trying to submit my ACE Class Reports when the email system is available. She will be busy working on her inventory. I told her The next GED Examination is on 3/26/2024. I told her I will try to call her tonight but usually the phone is very busy at night.
