Today I got outside and walked 2.46 miles. It was beautiful! Along the way I took lots of pictures of Spring. Here are a few. It’s nice to have a Spring again!

Vaccinated!
This morning I got my second Pfizer shot. I’m now fully vaccinated. They did say it would take two weeks before it’s fully effective. I’m willing to wait before we start getting out and socializing like we used to.
Getting the shot was very easy. They were on time and efficient. For most of today I felt fine. This evening my arm is hurting, I have a headache and I’m feeling really tired. Let’s hope that’s all I’ll feel from this second shot. I feel good about my COVID future now that I’m vaccinated. I just hope that the rest of the population will get on board and get the shots. New cases have started to go back up again and that worries me. Today there were 63,825 new cases. Of course that’s too many.

Another Bird
It’s rainy and cloudy out today. I had the window open while working in the office. I kept hearing a Red-bellied Woodpecker screaming outside. I looked and looked and finally found him in a tree nearby. Luckily I had my camera near by with the big lens already on. I snapped a few pictures and was able to get this one. It’s #12 for the year!

New iMac
Last week my inheritance was deposited into my bank account. I move the vast majority of it into my savings but kept some in my checking account to buy myself a new computer. Most people would say, “You just got a new computer.” But I would remind them that is was actually almost two years ago.
Knowing that Apple will soon be updating the iMac with their own chips and probably a new design, this is probably the last intel iMac that they will make. I decided I wanted the upgrade and the last intel iMac. So I ordered one with the specs you see on the left. I maxed it out of course. I say I’ll keep this one a long time but let’s be serious. Once the new one is released I’ll probably want to buy it. I’m afraid though that the new one won’t have the ram upgrade door like the current one and I’ll have to spend a lot of money just for the ram. We’ll see. At least I can still upgrade the ram in the new one. The new one should arrive around the end of the month.
