We’re accustomed to doing everything but the electrical ourselves. We maintain rental property as well as renovate houses and the only way to make that profitable is to do it yourself. Unfortunately both my wife and I are too incapacitated by various ailments of age right now to wrestle 4X8 sheets of siding, Sheetrock, and lumber. Right now is when My mom wants do this. It’s complicated. Mom has an obsessive compulsive desire to renovate houses. She’s bankrolling this renovation so we go by her timetable. In six months or so I hope to be doing it myself again.

Well it's too late to say good morning but I woke up at 2:30 AM and got up at 2:40 after deciding that staying in bed until 3:00 when my alarm was set was no good since I was already wide awake. I got 4 1/2 hours sleep. This afternoon I tried to take a 1/2 hour nap but, I was only able to sleep 15 minutes and woke up. I guess I just don't need much sleep.

I planned a normal Sunday and that is what I got.

Yep. Insomnia. Well I expect we don’t really need to sleep. I seem to be doing fine without it.

I woke up at 5:18 this morning, after 6 hours total sleep time. I feel well rested! I have a fairly long list of things I want and some need to get done around here before Wednesday. I plan on finishing my coffee and getting at it.

Mowing is on the list still.

I've got to go see the vampires then go to the VA and see if the optical tech can adjust my wife's new sun glasses to match the adjustment of her old glasses 🤓. I'm going to a back cracker this afternoon to see if he can do anything about my low back and neck pain. I can't take any Aleve or that type anymore because of my kidneys.😡 We'll see what he can do for me.

Mornin y’all. Suited up for work. It’s overcast and rainy but that won’t stop the beach goers. I’ll spend the day monitoring the weather radar and the lightning tracker. We will probably close and reopen the beach several times as thunder storms pass through. Same as yesterday. I like this kind of weather since it slows down attendance at the park. On summer days we hit capacity quickly and that’s when problems start. If we can stay below capacity everyone has a better time! I hate the added stress of decision making that comes with the weather though.

Mornin y’all. Yesterday went exactly as I expected. Today will be a repeat of yesterday.

Got to go get glow juice injected and get bombarded with neutron beams.😕

Good Morning!
I managed to work hard ALL day yesterday without hurting myself, as a result of being tuckered out I got over 6 hours of good sleep.

I do have a lot of sore muscles along with my normal pain but that is expected from hours of weed whacking.

I did yardwork until it was too dark to see what I was doing so, I need to go out and see what I may have missed, finish the weed whacking before it gets too hot and then start my packing what I can for our trip to Missouri.

Slight change of plans. As I went out the door this morning I was met by a Sherriff's deputy who had come to inform me that my older brother had been found dead.

No word yet of what got him.

"Then stand to your glasses steady
We drink in our comrades eyes
One cup for the dead already
Hurrah for the next to die!"

Mornin y’all. As per yesterday’s post I’ll be visiting the funeral home today to make arrangements for my brother’s internment. His health had not been good. He suffered from a variety of ailments. Not sure exactly which one got him. I’m very concerned about my mom who is taking this pretty hard. I’m going to spend most of the day with her.

My prayers and condolences to you and your family. Be safe and take care.

I'm so sorry for your loss Capt. A parents child should not pass on before the parents.😥

Well the wife is on her way to the dump. It's the first time in the over 5 years she's taken it and I'm very sure it will be the last!🤣😂🤣 She has no idea how heavy those trash bags are.😁 We'll see if she's even able to dump the trash into the compactor they use. She's going to be complaining about how much she hurts over the next 2 to 3 days.

Thanks all. We weren’t close. I’m more concerned about my mother who is grieving.
