11:00PM Troy is still out with Tyler's car. If he screws up and Tyler doesn't have his car to go to school in the morning or the gas tank is empty again. I am just about at the point to ask him to leave. I think as long as I prop him up he will keep taking advantage.

I have tried to get through to him that, me not having my car here at my house is not the point. It is my car and it should be mine to use or not use at any time.

He started his car and I followed him until he stalled the car on Bridgeport Hill. He couldn't start it so I called Dan Thompson to come and tow his car to Harry Green's Chevy. It cost me $69.00 for the towing. Troy paid $6.00 making a total of $75.00 for the towing.
6:15PM Back home and Troy is really upset that I won't let Tyler drive my car to Morgantown, or he also wanted me to drive him. I told him, suck it up, he can live with out his girl friend, Lizzie. He doesn't think it is fair that he is inconvenienced. I am finished with these two boys. No more driving my car unless they have to use it to take me to the hospital or funeral home which ever comes first.

He feels it is everyone else's fault that he blew up his car. Glad he got Eric paid off before he blew it up. It has been his neglect that the car is in the way it is. This is the second care he has destroyed because of his own fault. According to him nothing has been his fault. Tyler still has not got his car started. He says the battery is dead but don't know why he has not gotten the charge out and charged the battery if that is all that is wrong with it.

Go to Kit's first and then leave there around March 28th and go to Pensacola. I will have to talk it over with Kit and see what she thinks.

Called the motel in Orlando and informed them that I would be late and to make sure to hold my room.
7:30PM It was dark when I arrived in Orlando and the roads are terrible.

6:30AM Up and about getting ready to go to the Hamrest at the Fair Grounds in central Orlando.
8:30AM Off to the Hamfest.
9:30AM arrived and I should have gotten there earlier. I had to park out in the boonies and had to walk about 1/2 mile to get to the main gate. The weather was beautiful, with temperature of 51 degrees.
6:00PM Walked around the area which consisted of over a square mile with lots of tailgating. Lots of demonstrations in used and new equipment. I had my list but tried to look a everything so I could know what there was to buy. I bought me a couple ham sticks with the jig to make myself a rotatable dipole for 40 and 80 meters. Also picked up a tripod to mount the dipole. I hope to be up on 40 and 80 by late Monday in Stuart, FL. Met several hams from Stuart and bought tickets to the Martin County Ham Fest and hope to make it in early March. Also picked up a new 3/8 24 magnet mount for my car and a loading coil for 40 thru 10 mobile antenna. When I left the ham fest to come home at 6PM it was getting dark and the temperature was 81 degrees. I only saw two individuals that I knew, Gordon West, and Wayne Fast. Got to talk to a lot of great hams and great people. Most of the major commercial companies where there, of course, I can't name them all. Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, Ten Tech, most of the electronic retail outlets. I was disappointed there was very little free handouts. No one were giving out pins or other small items such as hats and T shirts, but there were several of the big companies selling small items.
11:00PM Meds, injection, going to bed, tired of watching the Democrat debate.

1:30PM Went to the Yaesu forum. Chris N0CSW was the speaker. He gave a great talk on the Fusion system and what should be expected in the future. He would not tell us how many Fusion DR-1 repeaters are on the air but he said there was at least one Fusion repeater in every major city in the US and number that have been sold are well into the thousands. He did say there were over 200 DR-1 Fusion repeaters in Florida. That seems like a lot to me but that is what he said. I was to late for the ARES forum. It was in another building and a long way to walk and couldn't make it in time.
4:30PM Checked the list of winners and I was not on it so came back to the motel. Stopped by Subway and picked up a sandwich for supper. I am not going to the hamfest tomorrow. I am heading for Stuart, FL.

7:35PM Called Barb and told her. Also text Kit and told her.
8:00PM Called Eric to see if he knew anything about the summons.
9:10PM Eric called me back and said that she is holding me in contempt of court because she says I am one month behind in spousal support. I don't know how this can be since the court ordered the $300.00 taken out of my SS payments and they have been doing it. If she is not getting the payments then it is because WV is not sending her the money when they deduct it from my SS.

9:30AM Call Family Court Harrison County at 304 627 2100 and talked to Tina Clerk to the wicked Judge. I told her it was not possible for me to appear in court on March 23rd and she suggested that I appear via phone since I was out of state. She called the Judge and the Judge agreed for me to appear via phone. I am to call 304 627 2100 at precisely at 1:20PM on March 23, 2016 and she would put me through to the court room. 12;58PM Talked to Tyler and he opened my mail and told me it was a notice from SS that the court had ordered to increase the deduction from my SS to $375.00 to cover payments to BCSE.
1:00PM Called BCSE and after waiting for 1 1/2 hours finally got Rhonda.
2:35PM Talked to Rhonda and she explained what had happened. It looks like the check I sent to BCSE last October went directly to the bank. I think the problem was I made the check out to the EX and the bank just sent it back to me. I am supposed to make checks payable to BCSE. I told Rhonda about my court appearance and she told me to send BCSE a check for $230.08 and when she receives the first payment from SS for $75.00 she will then put a stop order out to SS to not take out any more money. Note: The agent I talked to in October 2015 was Eric. I figure it will all get screwed up again.
4:00PM Mail a check to BSCE PO Box 247 Charleston, WV 25321 with 654604 in Memo Line on the check.

I also got to see the ARES station that is set up in the EOC.

10:30AM Neil N3EIL called and said there had been trouble at the monthly meeting of CWVWA. Vick had told hem there was big blow up at the meeting and the club had voted Neil and his wife out of the club and it was all over the web site not being up to date. Neil was very upset so I told him I would find out what I could and get back to him. I called Vick and he was very upset what had gone on at the meeting. He told me his side. 1:20PM I called Bill to find out what really went on. He told me that the site not being up to date was discussed and N8FMD made a motion to replace Neil as web master and they voted to remove him and put WV8TIM in his place. They also voted removed Vick as call sign custodian and are going to change locks to repeater site. I guess there was quite a battle. Neil had taken down the web site when Vick told him his side of the story and so after I called him back and relayed what Bill had told me he put the site back up. I warned them about N8FMD and it is coming to past. There was very little friction in the club before he joined but he and Vick will never get along.

12:00PM Had lunch.

Have to use the antenna tuner to get a 1:1 SWR The Ham Sticks are great antennas for listening but just don't have it for transmitting. I seem to get very long skip with all of them. I suppose if they were installed with radials they might be a little better. Be glad to get back home and get on my antennas and see how good they are.

Note: I am going to try to run a little mobile on my way home. Hope the magnetic mount holds on the road. I'll Just have to put it on a frequency and call CQ to make contacts if I am moving.

April 4, 2016

Note* As of today I will discontinue making daily/hourly entries. I believe that making numerous remarks that are redundant and have no meaning other than just taking up room and time. I will only make remarks that I feel I should keep and may be of importance to me or others.

9:00AM Got the lawn mower out to check if it would fit in the trunk of my car and decided to try to start it just one more time. It started, must have been cleaned by using the starter fluid in some way. Will try to mow the lawn and maybe someone can finish it later today.
11:00AM Mowed the back yard but it has started to rain. Stopped and put the lawnmower away.

April 5, 2016
8:40PM Lots of noise and police cars in front of my house. A Ford SUV of some sort, Lic # 5WF 606 came around the curve in front of my house and run into the telephone pole directly across the street from my car with a PU truck on his tail and two police cars in pursuit Split the pole up about 10 feet and moved the pole about 6 inches in the ground. Police took the drive into custody and left. The pickup pulled into my drive way on the upper side of the lawn until the cops took pictures and made out their report. Sure glad Tyler wasn't here because his car would have been hit by the SUV because he came up on sidewalk and then across the street and that is where Tyler's car would have been sitting if he were here. Thank God, that's all he would need is get his car torn up by some idiot.

She said it would be take care of but I was still in the rears by $.41 (41 cents) and they would take it out of my SS benefits for April. It seems since the $75.00 for March did not arrive until April 7th so they charged me a $.41 cent penalty. Isn't this a bunch of bull shit.

11:00PM Printed out a copy of the By Laws from my computer to take to the meeting. When looking at the By Laws that are posted on the CWVWA web site and the copy in my computer found several differences in the two. Looks like someone deliberately changed portions of the By Laws and posted the altered By Laws on the CWVWA web site. Don't know who did it and what their agenda would be to do so except to undermine the membership and possibly destroy the club but can not figure out the reason. Maybe we will be able to make something of it tomorrow at the meeting at I Hop. Will take high lighted copies with me so the committee can see what was done.

7:00PM Talked to Barb.
7:50PM Received a call from Darlene Cameron just as I was entering Kroger's and told her I would call her back.
8:30PM Everything went wrong while I was in Kroger's. The grocery bagger put all of my groceries in plastic bags and I had to make him remove them and place them in the reusable large bags I brought with me. He was upset because I made him do it but he should have paid attention since I had handed him the bags before he started, and he just ignored the bags and continued the way he wanted. The bill was $127.02.
9:00PM When I got home checked to make sure I got everything and the order was all there but when I checked my bank account I saw I had been charged twice for $127.02 so I called Kroger's and talked to the night manager who happened to be the young man I had trouble with the bagging. I told him about the double charge and he told me he would report it to the day manager and they would call me about the double charge.
9:20PM Went back on line to my bank account so I could make a copy of the double charge and a credit had been made for $127.02 so I called the Kroger's manager back and told him the computer had straightened out the mistake.
10:00PM I did not call Darlene Cameron because I thought it was to late to call her. I will call her tomorrow afternoon and apologize for not returning her call.

10:00PM Some where in the mess the By Laws were changed and what got put on the web site was wrong. This is the copy Dick and Mike used to ask for changes to the By Laws.

April 17, 2016
12:00 Got upset with Tyler because he paid Logan to mow the lawn. He just does not understand why I was upset. Troy after being sick all week and missing work, he went with someone to Morgantown.

April 18, 2016
4:00PM Troy just came in and he is getting ready to go back to Morgantown. He took Tyler's car and left for Morgantown. They made some sort of agreement so Troy could take Tyler's car back to Morgantown. I told Troy when he came home today he is going to have to clean his room and clean the junk out of the garage and he is to sell all of that T shirt printing equipment and use it to get a car. He agreed but he will not do it, as long as he can use Tyler and his car. I am getting very tired with both of them. If the appraiser comes and the house doesn't appraise enough for the reverse mortgage I think I will just put it ups for sale and move out.

12:00PM Looked out and someone has replaced my Trump sign. This time they put it closer to the house. Maybe they won't walk across my lawn to the corner of the house to steal the Trump sign. I have one other sign and that is for Kennedy and he is running for circuit judge.

2:00PM The only thing he said he found that should be corrected is the pealing paint on the window seals outside. He said to just brush the area with a wire brush and repaint and it would take care of the problem. It all has to do with possibility of having paint with lead exposed. I have been painting this house for over 40 years and never used any lead based paint.

4:00PM Took Troy to work.
5:00PM Tyler told me Troy had driven his car 250 miles since yesterday. He has been writing down the mileage when Troy takes his car. Looks like Tyler is just going to give his car to Troy and telling him to go to hell, and just write him off. This makes three cars Troy has messed up.
10:00PM Troy came in and he brought Cheyenne from work. I don't appreciate Troy bringing him here. I think it is just to smoke pot.

The house isn't far from Eva. He is leaving his boarders here in his house and they will pay the utilities and mortgage. I wish him luck living with his mother.

May 3, 2016
1:00AM Meds, injection, injected booster shot, going to bed.
11:30AM Slept in, didn't sleep well, had one of those extended frustration dreams. Walked all the way from Elkins in the snow with my EX, lol.
2:00PM Went to DC's and got a hair cut.
4:00PM Took Troy to work.
7:00PM Eric just dropped by. He told me all about the house he is buying in San Mateo, FL. His mother gave him $36,000.00 and he signed the papers today for a house for $29,000.00 which has to have a new well and A/C installed. He told me he is renting a U-Haul and a dolly to take his and his mother's furnisher next Sunday. He is coming to the house sometime to pick up the love seat, the blue recliner, and his picture that Betty Neely painted. ( I assume he meant May 14, 2016. He did mention a date of May 16th. He said his mother has fallen several times in the last month, and she fell again yesterday morning. He also told me that he has taken over her finances and she is having trouble walking and is also having trouble with her memory. It appears to me that all the problems that I was supposed to have is the troubles she is having. I suppose you call that transference. I asked Eric he should thank me for buying him a new house in Florida, lol.
One thing I can say, my EX didn't pay for anything in our marriage except money she earned in the few part time jobs she had during our marriage of 51 years. She only had one job that lasted more than 6 months. What she earned she spent as she pleased, she didn't even pay for any of the 4 cars she had during our marriage, she went out and bought them and then when she couldn't earn enough to pay the payments I paid off her debt. I paid off 2 credit cards that she had used to gamble, and one was $2000.00 and the another was around $1600.00. I did insist that she pay the upkeep of her cars but at times she said she needed her car fixed and I paid the complete bills. She never needed for anything during our 51 years of marriage.
I wish she and Eric the best in their endeavor in Florida. I figure after Eric gets settled in Florida I will not see him unless I go to Florida to visit. He has his boys and his mother with him in Florida and has no need for me.
7:45PM Called Barb and talked for a short time.
8:30PM Called and talked to Millie, she had called while Eric was here.

11:00AM Falling asleep in my lounge chair so going back to bed.
1:30PM Back up, rested.
2:30PM Tyler home from work.
4:00PM Took Troy to work, Troy wanted me to take him to Morgantown after work and I told him NO. He is going to have to learn that things he does and messes up come back to bit you. I will take him to work and pick him up from work but no transportation anywhere else. If the girl in Morgantown is that important, she can buy a car and run back and fourth to see him. I know that won't happen. If he doesn't run to Morgantown, she will drop him like a hot potato and get her another boy friend with a car. If he doesn't do something to get himself a car he will probably quit his job and just bum around.

Note: It has been raining all day, and the temperature is dropping. Supposed to be in the 40s and low 50s tonight.

7:00PM Barb called.
8:00PM Picked up Troy from work and he headed for Morgantown and will be gone until Sunday. He worked 2 1/2 days this week and is now off for three days. Tyler still does not have his car back. They told him possibly by Friday.

8:00PM Vick called and wanted to talk. He is taking his daughter to NC tomorrow to be with her mother, Vick's wife left and moved to NC and she has run up several bills on credit cards that Vick has to pay. Looks like she is acting very much like my EX. Vick is going to stop by tomorrow and pick up my GPS to use to get him to Hickory, NC.
8:15PM While talking to Vick got a call from Phil N8SFO. Called Phil. He is looking for someone to write a newsletter for the state organization. I told him I just was doing to much and didn't think I could do the job. He also was looking for parts for a Heath Kit SB200 linear. Gave Roger House a call to check if he had any parts because Roger works on HF linear but he didn't have any parts.
9:15PM Vick called back, he is going to stop around noon tomorrow to pick up the GPS.

7:00PM Talked to Barb.
2:30PM Vick just came by and picked up the GPS.
5:00PM Talked to Vick on 147.165, he is on his way. Seems when I was setting up the GPS I accidentally changed the language, Vick said he got it back into English.

12:00PM Tyler mowed the lawn. Needs trimmed.
1:00PM Taking Tyler to lunch. We went to I Hop for lunch, Tyler had blue berry pancakes and I had a turkey club. I know not to get a turkey club at I hop, It was OK but very soggy. Some sort of sauce on it and soaked into the bred. I told the waitress. Wasn't her fault.
4:00PM Ordered a 20V battery trimmer from Amazon. Should be here by Monday or Tuesday.
5:00PM Has been a beautiful day. Nice and sunny. Good thing that Tyler mowed the grass, it will probably rain tomorrow. Tyler is lost, The Ford is shot and he still hasn't gotten back his Nissan from the garage yet. They put him off until next week, say they have the part ordered but hasn't arrived yet. That's the trouble with sport cars, expensive and parts are hard to get.
7:00PM Gone to Kroger's for groceries, $124.00

8:40AM Going to the CWVWA monthly meeting.
9:00AM Had breakfast at Ryan's.
9:15AM CWVWA meeting called to order by the president.
9:20AM When the minutes were asked to be read, of course, Dick injects with a motion to accept minutes as listed on the Web Site, Vick opposes this and Brian reads the minutes. Vick took offense of Brian's remarks when reading the minutes. Vick is being very vocal and is visibly upset. Finally got him settled down and I was recognized by the president and I read my statement regarding the proposal for the By Laws. Mike and Dick became very agitated about my statement. I asked that the voting on the By Laws be tabled and the president did so. They continued to argue about not getting their way so the Treasurer asked to be recognized and he read from the Roberts Rules of Order that when something is tabled there will be no more discussion. Dick and Mike reluctantly shut up. Dick had to make a couple remarks about SJARA about me being the cause of the SJARA in decline. The only thing I said in reply was, "not me, it was you Dick that caused all the trouble in the SJARA. All Dick and Mike did after that was glare at me in discuss. Dick did refer to all of the members of the being "Stupid Hillbillies" because of the By Laws appearing on the Web Site.

------------------My Statement----------
1. I propose that any part of the March minutes pertaining to any motions or actions taken to change or modify the By Laws of the Central West Virginia Wireless Association be removed from the minutes and the actions be nullified because the initial motions, and subsequent vote were based on an erroneous, incorrect, or an altered copy of the By Laws that were placed on the CWVWA web site. (cwvwa.com) The items listed on the web site may have been changed or altered by an unintentional error.
2. The By Laws submitted at the December 2015 meeting of the CWVWA by the By Laws Committee and were accepted by the membership by a unanimous vote should remain in effect.
3. The subsequent motions in the March meeting were made to change the By Laws for an unknown reason without following instructions set forth in the By Laws of the CWVWA Article VIII accepted in the December 2015 meeting
4. A point of fact, the individuals that proposed the extensive changes at the March meeting to the CWVWA By Laws attached the names of the By Law's committee as though the changes were approved and submitted by the By Laws committee and placed them on the CWVWA Web Site without approval, consideration, nor knowledge of any of the By Laws Committee. I have been requested by the By Laws Committee to place this in the record.
Motion to table the item of changing the By Laws at this time until the By Law Committee has reviewed the new By Laws.

-----------end of statement-----
12:00PM Back home.
7:00PM Talked to Barb.

May 15, 2016
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
9:00AM Up and about, Eric arrived with Brian to pick up the love seat, two cushions, blue recliner, two pictures, the abstract by Betty Neely and the one I had Susie Stedman's mother in law paint of the Wood house from a picture taken in early 1900s. Wood homestead was settled in mid 1800s.
7:00PM Talked to Barb, she will not be home tomorrow because she is going to Women's Club and she will call me when she gets home from the meeting.
7:15PM Eric came and picked up two more cushion for love seat and the TV light that the EX's mother gave her several years ago.

May 16, 2016
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
9:30AM Up and about, received a call from the Reverse Mortgage Company and said that the appraisal did not support what I needed to pay off the bank. I figured that was coming because they were over valuing the appraisal of the house. The appraisal said the house was worth $135,000.00 and the mortgage company would cover the debt with the house valued at that price.
9:25AM While on the phone, Eric came by with his friend. Don't remember his first name but his last name is Winters. He says he knows Millie and Judy from somewhere. Just didn't go into it with him. Well, Eric is on his way, hope they all get there OK. He will give me a call when he gets there sometime tomorrow evening.
Checked my sugar, it has been up for the last couple days. Will have to watch my diet until I can get it to drop.
10:00AM Got an email from Dick Fowler. Seems he wants to talk to me on the phone. I have nothing to say to him and all he wants is to justify what he is doing. That is the way he always is. He never takes responsibility for things he says and does. It is always him trying to do what is right (in his mind) and everyone else is wrong. If that doesn't work then he denies ever doing it or he conveniently doesn't remember doing or saying what he did. He thinks or feels I don't like him. What he doesn't know I really don't even give a damn about him or what he believes. What I did at the meeting was read something into the record to try to stop a shouting match between, Dick, Mike and some of the other members of the CWVWA club.
2:00PM Troy home from Morgantown.
3:00PM Reminded Troy that it would be a nice day to mow the lawn. He said "OK". Won't hold my breath. I don't want to turn blue or maybe die from lack of oxygen.
7:15PM Barb called, she was back from the Women's Club meeting.
9:00PM I hinted several times to Troy and Tyler that the lawn needed mowed but of course it didn't get done and they are predicting rain all day tomorrow and for the next four days. What's new.

May 17, 2016
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
9:30AM Up and about.
10:28AM Received a call from Dick Fowler. He has been texting me for several days and wanted me to call him and I figured if he wanted to talk to me he could call. Dick wanted to bend my ear and try to get me to agree with the By Law revisions, he, Mike, and Tim had presented to the club. Mostly he seems to be worried that he is not liked. If you don't step on others toes then you don't have to worry about being liked. Being liked is something that doesn't worry me. He was upset by what I had read into the record at the last meeting of CWVWA. All I did was put everyone back to the same level. If they want to change the By Laws all they have to do is start over again and make a motion and resubmit the changes to the By Laws. Essentially what they need to do is start over and be a little more diplomatic. I don't understand why Dick and Mike appear to want to control the club and change it to suit them. They first stripped Vick of his custodianship of the club Call Sign (This was done in retaliation to Vick losing his temper, blew up and walked out of the February meeting.) Then they removed Neil from Web Master of the CWVWA.com web site. Then they removed Rick from Secretary and replaced him with Brian. Then the next meeting they propose a complete change of the By Laws. Dick then gets up in the April meeting and calls the older members "Stupid Hillbillies" and then he can't understand why they are upset and think the new members are trying to take over. The CWVWA was formed several years ago and has not been a perfect club but they were satisfied with their club and then within 4 months new members have decided that they should make changes to make the club better. Probably in the long run the changes could make the club operate better but sudden change just doesn't go down well.
As far as I am concerned I am finished with all of this Bull Shit with the fighting in the CWVWA. I may even stop going to the meetings. I'll have to give that some thought.
4:00PM Took Troy to work, he is late for work.

He at least got his A/C in today and it was in the 90s today. It was still 74 at the moment. The men to drill his well is supposed to be there tomorrow to get him some water.

May 19, 2016

11:59AM Eric called, he asked what I wanted. He has just listened to the voice mail from last night. He said that the man was there drilling his well so he will probably have water by the evening. He said the temperature was very warm but he does have his A/C working. Maybe his mother will quite down a little and his life will get a little easier, but I doubt it. He also said he found a bad breaker but that is a small thing. He will probably find a lot of little problems.
4:00PM Troy cutting the grass. He forgot to take the garbage out last night. When I look out earlier the garbage container was not at the curb so it must have not been put at the curb last night.

5:00PM Had Tyler get the tent out so I can set it up and see what is wrong with it. I didn't have enough tent poles so will have to order more. Also the cover is missing. The tent is full of junk of some sort but won't know what all it is until I can get the tent set up and check in side. Ordered some more poles. Just in poles I will have $80.00 in poles. Found a wet roll of paper towels that was mildewed. Troy just does not know how to take care of anything. You should see his room. All he is concerned about is working a couple days to get a little jingle in his jeans and then he is off to Morgantown with his nose up that girls rump. When he comes back from Morgantown he is always hungry. I don't think he eats nothing but a little fast food while he is in Morgantown.
7:00PM Talked to Barb.
9:00PM While on FB saw a picture of the Nays. Looks like Judy, Rich, and Linda were here to visit John. I am upset that no one called me to let me know they were even here. The picture was dated May 21, 2016. I suppose none of them wanted to see me. I had even talked to Sue and she didn't even mention it. Well, that's life. I will probably never seen any of them again unless there is a funeral. Sue also made it clear that I wouldn't be able to get up the road to there house, so that is that.

May 26, 2016

He told me that he made a motion to remove the discussion of changing the By Laws at this time and wanted me to talk with Vick about seeing both sides and stop fighting everything that he does not agree with. I don't want to get involved. As far as I am concerned I am not going to get in the middle even if I have to resign from the club. I know I won't renew my membership next January. I have my own problems and don't need any more.
12:15PM Eric called while talking to Dick and gave me a excuse to get off the phone. Called Eric back and he had called to ask if I had seen anything on the news about the mass shooting in Orlando, 50 killed and 53 injured. Of course it was a muslim.

June 13, 2016
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
7:30AM Up to take Troy to work.
9:00AM Tyler is up. I have no idea about either of these two boys. I have been driving over 60 years and have owned many cars and have never had a drastic massive break down or a car blow up and in less than two years, Troy has destroyed three cars and Tyler 2 cars. The ford Tyler blow up the transaxle and Chris was stupid enough to have it replaced for $4000 that of course he used Tyler's money and then Troy took the ford and blew up the engine. I am getting closer to just putting this house up for sale and moving into some little shit whole or if I could get it, public housing. I doubt if I could get it. Public housing is for bums and bitches.
10:00PM Troy told me when I dropped him off at work that he would see me on Thursday. He is more interested in having his nose stuck up that bitch's ass in Morgantown and going to the "Electric Festival" and has no intention to even try to get transportation. Of course, it is my fault, I should kick him out.
Tyler is getting just as bad. He had to go to Myrtle Beach with his buddies and now look what he has and I think he is just going to bury his head in the sand and just hope that everything is great. I don't think he has any intention to get a job or go to school as long as what money he has lasts. That's my fault also. I should do just like Chris and kick him out and forget these two boys and let them take care of themselves.
7:00PM Talked to Barb.

4:00PM Called Phil N8SFO, had gotten a call while I was in the shower. Phil said he had gotten a call from WV8KDC that N8FMD was upset with the preamble I read at the beginning of the ARES NET each Friday night. Just more information of how thin skinned Dick Fowler is. Because I mentioned authorization under the FCC and not giving him personal acknowledgement of his little world of the Hamtalk repeater system. The FCC does authorize the call that is used on the repeaters. 2. The FCC does allocate the frequency used by the repeater. 3. SERA coordinates the repeaters in West Virginia an arm of the ARRL. 4. The individual or individuals that own the equipment to operate the repeater has no control over what the repeater is used for as long as it is a licensed Amateur Radio Operator that follows the rules set down by the FCC under Part 97.
The repeater owner can not restrict any licensed Amateur Radio Operator from using the repeater for personal or net operations unless the repeater owner wishes to shut the repeater down and relinquish the frequency for use by another designated coordinated repeater owner. The FCC has issued rules that the repeater operator is not responsible for the actions of others using the repeater. Individual licensed operators are responsible for their actions at all times. 6:00PM I have rewritten the preamble stroking Dick Fowler's ego and thin skin, I hope he is happy now. I have notified N8FMD,KD8AJH,N8SFO,WV8KDC of the changes.

6:00PM Called Sprint and waited on the phone for half an hour but finally got someone that seemed to know what they were doing, so I had him reactivate my HTC phone and he is sending me a sim card for my new phone and it should be here in a few days and then I am to call him back and he will activate my new phone.

I figure the next thing I hear from Florida is that the EX has called the police and charged Eric or especially Johnathan with assault. Eric tells me she is back gambling again and is running up big charges on her credit cards. If Eric wanted to go to Florida he should have found the money somewhere else than from his mother because he is going to go through Hell.

7:00PM Talked to Barb.
8:00PM It has all started again, groups of 3 or 4 in and out of the house continuously. Some through the back door that I don't see but several just open the front door and walk in. This is going to have to stop.
11:00PM Walked into the kitchen and some kid is fixing himself some pizza in my microwave. I will have to assume he brought the pizza with him and is just using my kitchen to fix it. I don't know who he is or where he even came from.

July 6, 2013
0001AM Most of the crowd has left only one in the garage with Tyler. 1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed so I look in the garage and Tyler and one kid is sitting in the garage so I told them that it was about time to wrap things up go home and Tyler to go to bed. Tyler told me it was his house, and it was summer break so he would do what he wanted. I did not want to fight with him before I went to bed.
6:00AM I did not sleep well. Heard Tyler come to bed sometime during the night.
9:30AM Up and about. Getting things ready to leave tomorrow. I wonder what Tyler will do while I am gone. Laying back down for a while.
11:00AM Back up and fixed myself some breakfast/lunch.
12:00PM Tyler came and said he has to work at 4PM. He went to bed.
12:15PM The wiring for my mobile radio shorted out so had to cut and removed the positive wire.
1:30PM Went to Clarksburg to drop off the Field Day stuff with Tim Yoos at WBOY.
2:15PM Tim was not there so just left it with a young lady that answered the door.
2:30PM Vacuumed the car.
2:45PM Got home and Tyler was not here.
3:00PM Tyler came home and I had locked the front door with the dead bolt so he was pissed when I finally got up and let him in the house. I jumped him about all the shit that has been going on around the house and, of course, all he wanted to do was fight back and defy me. He may be 18 years old and think he is an adult but he acts just like a kid. He can't figure out why everything he does turns to shit. Kids all think it is someone else's fault and think someone else will make everything all good again. I have lived through all kinds of shit the last couple years but I don't take it out on everyone else or smoke pot or drink to make the problems go away. I know they are my problems and I have to live with them. Tyler and Troy need to get some sort of transportation even if it is a bicycle and stop depending on me to carrier there ass around. At least, Troy does have a job but he spends everything he gets on foolishness and depends on other for transportation. Tyler keeps lying about getting a job but he is depending on someone else to get it for him.

He says the repeaters have his call on them and people will use then as he sees they should use them and cater to him. He told me if I did not conform to how he things the net should be run then he will just turn the repeater off. I'll just ignore him as usual.

Doug wants the user/password for FTP SJARA.ORG. Will make sure he gets it sometime today.
1:40PM Betty called about the guys mowing the lawn next door and wanting any information I had on Aaron Jones, the company that mows the lawn next door at Callison's.
2:00PM Called Vick and let him know about the meeting last night. He feels the same as me that it looks like, the group is moving in on SJARA just like they moved in on CWVWA. Vick wanted Jim's SEC telephone. I suppose he wants to let Jim know his opinion on the situation with ARES. Jim has already made his feelings known to me and other ARES members. I'll have to keep an ear to the ground to find out if Phil and Dick meet at the Mill on Saturday.
2:30PM Went to bank and got check for Weather Service and took it to the office in Clarksburg.

Also informed of what was going on with Dick Fowler and his threatening to turn the 146.685 repeater off if I didn't conform to how he wants things run.
*Note* I think Dick Fowler has a mental problem. He is either bipolar or just plain crazy. He goes off on one of drinking binges and is an Ass Hole and then he says he never said the things he said. He needs to be in a home for the mentally ill or at least under observation of some sort. How to recognize mental problems
Also covered my discussing with Jim Stephenson and taking the ARES net off the Ham Talk System and moving it to 147.165 around the 1st of October. Paul said we did not need Emergency Communications to cover more than Harrison County and it would be great using the CWVWA repeater and make it just a single county net.

---

A meeting was held on September 21, 2016 in the 911 OEM conference room to discuss the surveying and testing of designated staging areas throughout Harrison County. This test is checking the use of the VHF 2 meter Amateur Radio Communications system utilizing the repeaters located in the Clarksburg area. These repeaters are 147.210 Mhz, 147.165 Mhz and the 146.685 Mhz repeaters for emergency communications to assist the OEM Harrison County. Two repeaters are free standing repeaters covering all of Harrison County and one linked via the HAMTALK system which , if needed, covers a very large area of West Virginia.

Presently there is a fully equipped Amateur Radio station including HF and VHF to be used in cases of emergency located in the 911 center in Nutter Fort. The testing and reporting of the results will be reported to the OEM via the system known as Survey123 to which the OEM Harrison County subscribes.

Survey123 for ArcGIS is a simple and intuitive form-centric data gathering solution that makes creating, sharing, and analyzing surveys possible in just three easy steps: Ask Questions. Quickly design powerful surveys and publish them into . ArcGIS

The Survey123 system was discussed and Paul Bump, Director of the 911 center went through the system and instructed all present to download Survey123 to their Smart Phones giving ARES members of the two local Ham Clubs. (Stonewall Jackson Amateur Radio Association SJARA and Central West Virginia Wireless Association CWVWA) access to Survey123 which contains a Survey form giving the GPS location and specific information to be filled in giving results of the testing as to VHF communications from each individual site.

The discussion and instructions on the use of Survey123 was very informative and was well received by all present. The Survey123 system is outstanding for collecting information which can be used by the OEM Harrison for comparing and disseminating. Access to Survey123 will be given to a selected number of individuals equipped with 2 meter mobile units and smart phones.

Those ARES members that were present were: KD8IZW, K8PEC, N8FMD, KC8AJH, WV8TIM, WV8CC, KA5NYN, WV8REX, K8RAS, K8EAS, K8TPH. If there are any question please direct them to k8dfsjara@aol.com Secretary of SJARA and EC Harrison. I will pass your question to someone who will give you an answer.

Note: Bob Jack Luthen told me to keep my crap off of his Facebook page. He sent me a picture from a Democrat web site praising Hillary and her friend Huma so I sent him the history of Huma Abedin and her family affiliations and Bob told me to keep my crap off of his Facebook page. Since he is listed as a friend on my Facebook he gets anything I put up so all I could do was unfriend him. It really scares me and upsets me (ha ha ha) if he can not take up for what he believes in. He is just like all of the cool aid drinkers and can't see that he is following a traitor. If this gets pointed out to him he will propably have a heart attack.

The white middle aged men in the United States have been blamed for everything for many years. We have been labeled as "bigots, homophobes, anti Semites, stupid, lazy, deadbeat Red Necks". We have been blamed for slavery and everything that is wrong with the United States and the world. We gave the blacks their chance to straighten it all out for eight years but all they did was screw things up. We have decided to take our country back. Live with it.

7:50PM Barb called, she just got back from Women's Club.
10:00PM Tried to get through to Tyler and Troy that the garage needs cleaned. I also expect them to clean the house. They pay no rent, food, or utilities so I don't believe it would hurt them to clean. Tyler does wash towels and his own clothes but Troy washes nothing including his clothes. He seems to wear them for an extended time. His room smells like a locker room. Also dirty dishes and remains from food are everywhere in his room.

November 22, 2016

2:30PM Awake when Tyler came in and asked if he could take my call to work and I didn't feel like getting up and going out in the cold so let him take the car. Troy is not working today. Also Tyler asked why I took the modem, and I answered by saying, "you don't understand?" He just left and didn't say anything else about anything.
3:30Pm Put the bucket, mop, and detergent in the middle of the floor in the garage. I figure they will just walk around it and not even notice it. Put clothes in washer.
5:00PM Wanted to check my email, so I went back out and hooked up the modem.
6:00PM Troy is sitting in the garage watching some stupid thing on his computer and Patrick is sitting there with him. I checked the dryer and the clothes weren't dry so set them back to another cycle. Walked through garage and the bucket is still sitting in the middle of the floor and has not been touched. I think I will wait a couple days and then call Time Warner and find out how I can change my password. There is no reason why I should go without internet.
7:00PM Talked to Barb.
9:00PM Talked to Millie.

November 23, 2016
1:00AM Meds, injection, booster, going to bed. Calendar popped up and notified me Kit and Walt are leaving for Panama today.
1:30AM Tyler home from work.
9:30AM Up and about.
10:00AM Checked my email and got an email from Kit. She and Walt are on their way to Panama.

Note: We are on the count down.  We will leave the house approximately 7, we have a reserved parking off airport for 9 and our flight is at 11:11pm.  I am excited.  I spoke with Barbara yesterday but I will stay in touch with you. BTW I am not expecting any problems but if in the future something would happen to me, have me cremated and bury by Charlie or throw me in the ocean or to the wind.  Nobody knows this but you now.  :)  LOL 

12:00PM Going back to bed. No need to sit here and snooze.
2:30PM Back up. Going to watch some TV and will go to Kroger's later to pick up a couple things for dinner. Will probably do that when I take Troy to work at 4PM.
9:30PM Troy home from work.
11:48PM Checked Kit and Walter's flight. Departed from Fort Lauderdale for Panama City, Panama, expected arrival 2:48AM

November 24, 2016
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
2:28AM Kit and Walt arrived in Panama City.
8:00AM Up and about, put turkey in over at 350degrees for 5 hours.
8:30AM Watching Netflex. What else is there to do?

Note: Just sitting here watching a movie "In the Valley of Elah" about a father investigating the death of his soldier son. I am really getting tired of everything. Mindi is gone. Eric moved to Florida and used the money that I paid his mother to buy a house. Now all he needs from me is collect the rent on his house here in Clarksburg, from Dale and Nelson every month and deposit it in his bank account and collect his mail and send it to him. It isn't my responsibility to look after his rental here. Then there is his three sons, I don't think they ever even give me a thought. Out of sight out of mind. Then Tyler and Troy all they seem to want to do is hang in the garage with their friends and smoke pot. I don't think they would even work if I didn't drive them to work every day. I just don't seem to get through to either of them that it is their responsibility to clean up. The garage is filthy and all they do is leave the table in the garage in a complete mess all the time. They have any where from 2 to 6 boys almost every evening. They leave dirty dishes on the table with dried food in them. I have to get on their asses about at least picking up the dishes. Tyler is clean about himself but I wonder when Troy takes a bath and changes his clothes. Something is going to have to change. I do all the cleaning, what is done, I buy all the food, pay all the utility bills, empty the garbage in the kitchen most of the time, the only time they do it is if I keep reminding them. So what in the hell do I have to be thankful for.

1:00PM Got the turkey out of the oven. Getting the dressing ready for the oven and getting beans, yams, and potatoes ready.
4:00PM Everything ready for dinner. Millie not here yet.
4:30PM Millie got here and the boys have already eaten and Millie and I ate.

3:30PM Tyler just came in and then went back out. Going back up to Cody's, Cheyenne is leaving the area and I suppose they are having a little going away get together. Cheyenne is the was the head chef and he is leaving and going to Portland, OR.

FB Note: Im off today and im about to lock myself in the dojo the rest of the day. I have so many projects I need to finish its starting to hurt thinking about it. 360 print needs designed, pendants i started forever ago need finished, design projects that have been stacking up for weeks. Just gotta make it through this and I get to see liquid stranger on thursday. In over my head, like usual, and thats how I like it. Its rough being a creative person sometimes. So many things i want to do, not enough time or resources to do it.

6:30PM Just got a note on FB made by Troy stating that he is overwhelmed by his creativity. He can not find or make time to create and work on things he wishes to make or create. All I see is he works at a job as a cook/chef at Mia Margarita about 25 hours a week, sleeps most of the days he is off. When not sleeping he is in the garage (boys man cave) watching TV or playing on Xbox, eating, making a mess and on his cell texting hour after hour. Has takes almost no responsibility in helping cleaning the house, for witch he pays nothing, eats the food he does not pay for. I love him and I figure it is my fault I let him get away with it. Reality is going to hit him very hard when I am gone and he has nothing except bills and no place to live. I assume he may be OK if his grandmother passes away because he is her only heir. I don't believe she will leave much to Troy's dad since they have been estranged since Troy was about 5 years old. I don't think Troy has had any contact with his father for nearly 15 to 20 years. It is a shame his father is a worthless drunk.
7:15PM Called Barb. I told Barb I got my birthday card and she said she had just sent it Friday afternoon. I received a birthday from Kit before she left for Panama.
8:30PM Called Millie. She wished me Happy Birthday and I am going to Millie's tomorrow evening for dinner.

Note: I have noticed that the CIA encampment on SR 131 is empty. No vehicles, no equipment of any kind laying around. People laugh that I say it is a CIA encampment but it is a perfect run down deserted farm adjacent to the Bridgeport airport which has a back gate going directly to the north end of the airport.

11:59PM Haven't received any birthday wishes from anyone else except on FB.

He said that I was being an ass hole for putting up the sign in the garage about turning off the space heaters when they are not in the garage. He said if he could do, more or less, as he pleases than the just would have to move out. I told him to go ahead, it would me nothing to me because I pay for everything anyway and get no help in any way. 11:40AM He said "I love you, grandpa" and left and said "I'll see you tomorrow".

12:00PM Back up...Didn't get any sleep. I keep getting telephone calls and there is no one on the line and if I let it ring to go to the voice mail there is no voice mail. I have tried to call the numbers back and get the not in service voice response. They are coming up on my ID on the phone as coming from local area of Bridgeport and as far away as California. I can not figure out the purpose of just dialing a number with no contact of any kind. Are they just checking to see if the number is an active number or just harassment. I have yet to figure out what they gain from this type of call. Did get one call from Verison this morning about student aide/loans of some sort.
