On the 5th, took it easy most of the day before driving up to PCT. As temp. was 95°F on this trail, Kathy descided to abort after 0.75 miles due to fatigue, and Jef was fatigued as well, so wound up just hiking 1.5 miles in 36 minutes with only about 100' elevation gain/loss. Drove home and took it easy the rest of our Labor Day weekend.

After sunrise this morning - note how clear it is and with a few nice clouds

Thunderhead starting as we stopped to pick up something from the office

On the 14th, met Rob mid-day and went over things needing to be done. Driving back to Borrego, Kathy needed to go to urgent care for a UTI. We found all were closed in Ramona, so we drove back to Poway and waited 3 HOURS for them to get around to Kathy, and by that time all pharmacies had closed, so drove back to Borrego.

On the 15th, Jef drove to Ramona to pick up Kathy's antibiotics. Kathy was too sick to work, so cancelled another day at the office. Jef worked until 3 or so.

On the 19th, Kathy seemed to be better, was was not up to coming to work, so cancelled a very full day at the office. Later that afternoon, she got worse and drove her to ER in Pomerado. Late that night she was admitted due to very bad UTI and low Oxygen. Jef drove home alone.

Murky air this day in Borrego

Kathy refused any pic of herself in hospital, but this is in the ER - her Oxygen was only 91% with 4L Oxygen, and she had some tachycardia

On the 20th, Jef drove to Pomerado with a few items for Kathy and stayed with Kathy until about 6:30. amd drove home to Borrego for the night.

On the 21st, Jef drove to Pomerado and stayed with Kathy, who had gotten better, until about 6pm before driving home to Borrego.

on the 26th, Jef did some work at the office while Kathy took it easy at home. Kathy was not up to walking this evening.

On the 27th, Jef walked to the office in just under 57 minutes - going slower due to out-of-shape, maybe lack of salt, and high temps (102°F at start and 107°F at end).

Solar panels are in need of cleaning

Still need to clean up all this lathe thrown over fence to clean out back yard

Next pic is around "the eagle"

Kinda looks like an eagle with its wings halway open in the middle, but not definitely
