My Chronicle for 2018
by Richard R. Wilt

January 1, 2018
00:00AM Watched the Ball drop over Times Square. It was in the lower teens in NYC. Watched Kennedy (Montgomery) and Jessie Watters from 11 until midnight. It was extremely cold, I don't see why anyone would stand out in the cold to just watch the ball drop and say they were in NYC for New Year's Eve.

1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Watch old series "Twilight Zone", great show.
Note:
Things that I want to obtain during 2018. Don't know if I will get them or not but maybe some of them:
1: Crock Pot Got on January 13th
2: Small freezer. 7.0 cuft freezer delivered on February 21, 2018 with 3 five gal containers of roof paint and supplies to do the painting.
3: LDG Antenna Tuner
4: Linear Amplifier (600 watts)
5: Build a Radio shack shelf
6: Get a walk in tub installed in the front bath room and have the sewer repaired as needed.Found to be to much money. May check at a later date and see if I can get a handy man to do it on a hourly basis and buy the parts at Lowe's I found a place in Euless, TX that has replacement showers that will fit into my bathroom. Bought the shower and it will be installed by Fox Plumbing on October 24/25/26, costing me around $3000.00
7: Two chairs for the kitchen. Chairs delivered on February 24, 2018 by FedEx.
8: Get a new grill. Ordered a new gas grill from Walmart and it was delivered on January 27, 2018.

12:00PM Slept in, up and about took Bella outside. It rained during the night and everything is wet. It is also very chilly, temperature is 50 degrees. Very gloomy day. A good way to start a new year. It is a reminder of how bad the weather is up north.
1:00PM Had a bowl of cereal, took a couple pork chops out of the freezer to have later today.
5:00PM Had a couple pieces of pork. Decided not have any black eyed peas, just a cup of coffee and relax and watch the weather.
7:00PM Called Barb and talked to her for a while. She said it was down to -11 degrees early this morning. I am happy I am in Florida.
8:00PM Eric is really worried about his plants with the cold spell. Predicting possibly freezing tonight.
9:00PM Cant' quite figure out the variations in the temperatures. The wind whips up to around 10 mph and the temperature drops quickly to the low 30s and when the wind stops the temperatures go back up to the high 30s.
9:30PM Took the garbage out to be picked up tomorrow. The wind is really cold and there is some rain. 37 degrees

January 2, 2018

12:30PM Checked all of my antennas, and everything looks OK with no damage of any kind. Could see that the wind was moving my verticals back and forth.
1:00PM Starting texting, Tyler and Kit. Passed several texts. Tyler seems to be down or maybe it is only cabin fever. I hope he gets things straightened out and starts looking up for him. Kit told me she and Walter on going on a cruise oh Jan 7th and be gone for a week.
4:00PM Fixed myself a big steak and some red potatoes. Really good food.
7:00PM Barb called and we talked for a little while. She was telling me how cold it is in WV and that they have around 6 inches of snow on the ground and it is supposed to snow again tonight.
7:30PM Decided to not go to the LARC meeting. I will have to send them my dues.
11:00PM Talked to Eric, he is worried about his plants, but he will get through it.

January 3, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
3:00AM Warmer tonight than last night. 48.0 degrees. I think the wind is the difference. No heavy winds tonight.
10:15AM Still raining and the phone rang from 304 617 0329 and I did not recognize the number so I did not answer. Figured it was just one of those robo calls.
12:00PM the rain has stopped and the sun is out so things will start to dry up a little.
1:00PM Took Bella outside, very windy and still cool, in low 50s. Did have a little water in the Florida Room, looks like I haven't found and fixed the leak yet.
2:00PM Decided to call the two numbers that called this morning. One was one of those robo calls wanting to sell me something. The other was Varsity Place Huntington, WV. Varsity Place is a rental company controlling several apartment rentals in Huntington. As far as the young man that answered, Trevor, there was no reason they would be calling me. Maybe will find out in the future why.
7:00PM Called Barb and Dana was there and she said she would call me back.
7:30PM Barb called and we talked for over 1/2 hour.

6:30PM Received a call from American Standard Tubs in California. I had made some inquiries on line about the cost of walk in tubs and they were calling to sell me a American Standard walk in tub. Since I live in a MH and don't own the land they can not finance it. Also told me it would cost between $12,000.00 and $16,000.00. I think I can get it done for a whole lot less.
7:00PM Called Barb and talked.
9:00PM Eric text me Kennie Lee Sirk died this morning. He was 89 years old. He died of Brain Cancer. He must have been eaten up with cancer. He has had cancer for at least 18 years.

12:00PM Had some cereal w/banana for lunch.
1:30PM Received a call from Koler about someone coming tomorrow to give me an estimate to install a walk in tub. After a short conversation the girl told me it would be in the area of $20,000.00 for a new walk in tub in my bathroom. That price is ridiculous and I told her so she said she was canceling the estimator from coming tomorrow.
2:45PM Simplisafe called and I missed the call, will call them later.
4:51PM Called the control center for Simplisafe and I told them my concerns about alerts not appearing on my list of events (8 am December 15, 2017) on the web site, so she turned off the response of any alerts to the control center and wanted me to run tests on my system. The response will be turned off until 5:08PM.
5:00PM I checked and activated all of the censors and they all worked so I called the control center back and was told that all of the alerts came through and my system was working.
5:15PM Went to the Simplisafe website and checked my event log and the events did register at the control center.
6:30PM Fixed myself a steak with red potatoes.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while. The weather there is terrible. She says it has been raining, sleeting, and snowing all day long and it is cold.

January 9, 2017
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
9:30AM Safestep called about someone coming here this afternoon to look at the installation of a walk in tub. I told them that I was think to put in a shower other than a walk in tub.
12:40PM Morgan Exteriors Inc called to confirm some to come out at 6PM to look and give me an estimate.
3:40PM Safestep called back and told me that they would give me a ball park price of $11,000.00 to $14,000.00 for a shower an I gold them it was to much.
3:45PM Millie called and we talked for an hour.
5:30PM Simplisafe called and was looking at my request and questions about the system working correctly. She had me first remove the batteries and move the unit and I put it in the bed room and the signal was bad there also. Then moved the unit between the kitchen and the living room and it works OK so will leave it there but Simplisafe is sending me a new chip changing my service to another cell phone service because the believe it is my service and not the unit of reporting to the control center.
6:00PM Representative from Morgan Exteriors Inc arrived to make measurements and give me an estimate.
6:15PM Simplisafe called and told me that everything seems to be working properly now.
7:00PM Barb called but the estimator was here so will call her back.
8:00PM I signed the contract and it was $8749.00 and I gave him a check for $2900.00 and the remainder will be due when the job is finished. Workers will come tomorrow afternoon to make final measurements so they can order the custom fit shower pad and enclosure and will start the installation in a few weeks.
8:10PM Called and talked to Barb, told her about how much I spent. Maybe I will feel sorry about spending all that money for a shower but I won't have to use the bathtub, which I do not like.
9:00PM Watching TV. Just wondering, did I make a mistake getting the shower installed in the bathroom. I should recover when I get my income tax back.

January 10, 2017
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
10:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside, drizzle and a wet mist with fog and a slight breeze.
2:00PM While opening the screens in the Florida room a gray van stopped in front. I walked out to see what they wanted and it was a man and his wife that lives at 40 Hill Street, just a few units down the street. His first name is Pedro and he is a ham and was interested in my antennas. His call sign is NP4PF and he is from Puerto Rico and appears moved here after Maria hit PR and married a local lady. They both seem very nice. I brought them in the house and showed them my set up.
6:00PM Was expecting a call from Morgan Exteriors for some measurements but never received a call and no one showed up. They have my $2900.00 and now they will be a little slower. I expected that.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while.
9:00PM Watching TV, I have the windows open tonight. I would like to see much more weather like this for quite a while, but I know it can't last.

January 11, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
9:30AM Up and about, giving thought about the remodeling of the shower in the bathroom. I called and talked to Jason and told him that I still wanted the shower but I could not get the financing to complete the installation. He offered to give me back my money but he suggested that they could give me financing for the remainder of the $5840.00. I gave him my information and he said he would submit it to the finance company and the payments should be around $90.00 and I figure I can handle that except it would probably be for 8 years. We will see what they offer me and if the payment is around the $90.00 mark I will go ahead.
10.00AM Took Bella outside, opened up the screens in the Florida and leaving the sliding door open. Temperatures are great, 71.7 degrees. Waiting for the call from Jason at Morgan Exteriors.
3:00PM Took a shower, don't know when Jason will call back because I assume he has to contact the finance company and give them my information to approve the loan.
4:00PM Watching Judge Judy. I believe I will wait to go to the store tomorrow. I'll finish up the milk and I have more than enough for supper tonight. Will go over my supplies to see what I have to buy tomorrow. If I get the energy I will go to Walmart tomorrow and get a crock pot and a water hose. Walmart has crock pots on sale for $9.88 and I think that is what I will get.
6:45PM Eric called he is back home from the funeral. He said the only people there that he new was Carolyn and her daughter Michelle Johnson. He didn't say if anyone else from the family came to the funeral. He said he took a picture of Kennie in the casket and wondered if he should send it to Alecia. I told him to message her and ask if she would want it. I also asked him to send me the picture.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while.

12:00PM Had some cereal for lunch. Going to have to go to the store today sometime.
5:00PM Have been watching the work crew at my neighbors. I think they were replacing floors since they carried in several pieces of plywood, and it looks like they put in some vinyl flooring. They were quite noisy, 3 men and 1 woman.

10:00AM Text Kit back with more information about Skip. Called Morgan Exteriors and they said that the finance company would not approve the loan on a MH. Looks like a campaign including the insurance, finance, and state of Florida all not encouraging anyone in MH to improve or get anything to cover MH in Florida. Took Bella outside. Nice but cool day.

9:27AM Called and Barb answered. She said she must have sent the alarm off when she was taking a shower. She said there was nothing wrong and she had talked to the Emergency Alert dispatcher. Back to bed.
10:00AM Back up and taking a shower. Slept like a baby last nigh because I woke up with a wet diaper, LOL.
12:00PM Leaving for Paulette and Rick's house. 1:00PM Arrived and they took me out to lunch. Very nice lunch. 6:14PM While sitting talking Simpli Safe called, there was a fire alarm at my house.
6:15PM Called Jonathan and all the alarms were going off and he could not figure how to get them turned off. After talking for a few minutes he tried the remote and it would not turn the alarms off. Then I realized that the alarm system my have been turn on so I had him key int the code on the key pad and the alarms went off. The fire department came and checked to make sure that there was no fire and left and Johnathan said he apologize to the fire department about the alarm. Steve and Carlos came over to check on Johnathan to see if they could help. Seems what had happened is the power had gone off about an hour before the alarm and the alarm system reset itself to the "Alarm On" with out Johnathan knowing. Everything is now OK.
10:00PM Just got back from Paulette and Rick's.
10:30PM Called Johnathan and he said everything was now OK and not to worry. He learned something I did not know, that if the power goes off the alarm system resets itself to the "Alarm ON" stage.
11:00PM Meds, injection, getting ready to to go bed.

January 22, 2018
9:00AM Up and about, getting ready to check out of the motel and head back to Lakeland. 10:00PM Filled up the gas tank and heading out for home.
12:15PM Arrived home and the dog was really happy to see me. The house was still there, LOL. I figured out what happen last night. When the fire alarm went off and Johnathan pushed the wrong button on the alarm remote and turned all of the sensors through out the house and when he walked around and opened up the doors to clean the air, the system sense someone was walking around and the motion detector has a bright strobe light which confused Johnathan more, but when I talked to him on the phone I had him go to the control box and key the four digit code and turn everything off, but of course, by that time the fire department has gotten there. They went through and checked to make sure that there was no fire. I hope the fire department doesn't send me a bill for a false alarm.
1:00PM Eric just arrived to pick up Johnathan to take him home.
3:15PM Eric and Johnathan just left to go back to San Mateo because Eric has to pick up Josh from work at 7pm.
4:00PM Picked up my mail and received a card from Bertha Webb with Skip's obit in it. Bertha thinks Skip and Pete are my brothers not my cousins, but growing up people were all making the mistake because we were just 2 years difference in ages. Skip was Bertha's neighbor for several years.

Note: This last week end was the best time I have had in years. Seeing Jerry, Pat, Mike, Gay, Paulette, and Rick was really great. I just don't know how to say how much I enjoyed seeing everyone.

6:15PM Eric and Johnathan got home OK.
7:00PM Called Barb, felt I should call her a second time today.
7:30PM Took Bella outside and watered the banana trees. It is possible that one of the trees may live. Also it has started rain lightly. We need the rain.

8:00PM Watching TV.
10:00PM Bella wanted to go outside. When we got to the back corner of the MH John with his two dogs came around the corner. Of course, Bella was very submissive and the other dogs were very aggressive. Finally got Bella away from them and she did her business. She must have heard the dogs and then wanted to go out. I try not to take Bella out when the other dogs are out, it gets to be a hassle.

January 24, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside. Les from behind me spoke to me and said he wanted to talk to me. He had been released from the hospital where he had open heart surgery. His girl friend had told Johnathan that on Sunday when the fire alarm went off. I talked to Les for a while, looks like he is getting along well, big scar down the center of his chest. Gave Les my cell # just in case he or his girl friend would need help.

10:00AM Took Bella outside, it is a beautiful day, sunny but a little breezy.
10:30AM Les my neighbor just dropped by. Invited him in and we talked for a while. He seems to be doing pretty good from his open heart surgery. He wanted to sell a ware fare card he received for shopping at Publix but I don't want to get involve in that so I turned him down. I gave him a case of Roman Noodles that I had gotten for Johnathan but did not notice that they were all shrimp and Les he liked shrimp.
11:00AM Had some cereal but my hemorrhoids are acting up and I am in some pain.
2:00PM Millie called and we talked for an hour. I get the impression that she would like me to ask her to come to Florida. A visit would be fine but I am not going to get into a long time relationship here in Florida. I have the fear that it would end up her having to take care of me or that I would end up taking care of her. Neither of us need someone to take care of, we have difficulty just taking care of ourselves.

2:30PM Back home, cost me $97.79 to have the oil changed, tires rotated, and turn the "low tire" indicator. I asked the attendant about the "low tire" indicator and he said the censor is for rotation of a wheel and when the indicator sensors a difference in the speed of any of the four wheels it is triggered. He said when they check my tires when they rotated them the tires were of different pressures and that was the cause of the sensor triggering. They changed the oil and washed the car.
6:00PM Had the remainder of the stew for supper.
7:00PM Called Barb, we talked for a while and she told me that Bradley and Nicole are having a girl.

11:00PM The speech is over, didn't really hear anything that Trump hasn't said before. I just hope he can get the Liberals to go along with some of his policies. If not then things will be just in lock down unless the change the voting situation.

January 31, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
12:00PM Slept in today. Was well rested when I got up. Didn't go to bed until 3am.
12:15PM Turned on the news and heard there was a train wreck near Crozet, VA with 200+ congressmen and family on a trip to the Greenbrier in White Sulfur Springs, WV. More spending of our taxes.

7:00PM Called Barb, cold and expecting sleet and rain tonight.
9:00PM Text with Kit wish her a GN and text with Eric. He said he planted 216 seeds. I don't know whether the count has anything to do with the amount of plants he will have when they germinate and grow. He will have to thin out the plants in his hot bed.

February 1, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.

9:53AM Received a call but did not answer, a voicemail was left.
11:00AM Checked my voicemail and it was Henry Hadden. Henry is a researcher on the family of Millard Leo Wilt. He is married to Millard's daughter, Janet Wilt Hadden. Returned call no answer, left a voice mail.
12:00PM Took Bella outside, nice day but overcast, not much sunshine. Temperatures in 70s.
2:18PM Received a call from Henry from a house phone, 239 732 7427. We talked for about half an hour. He and his wife are visiting friends in Naples, FL. He did not know I had moved to Lakeland. I invited him to come by and visit anytime he would like when he would be in the area.
5:00PM Checked my sugar and it was 121. I will find out if my A1C is doing when I go back to Watson Clinic this month.
7:00PM Called Barbara and we talked for about half hour or until the "Wheel" came on.
8:00PM Fixed a new pot of coffee. Don't know what or if I will have for supper.
9:00PM Checked to see what my retirement pay came to for this month. January pay is $1187.77 and December after the COLA was $1162.79 so I got $24.98 increase from the tax reform. It really doesn't make any difference because I am just getting it each month instead of filing at the end of the year and getting it all back then. That is probably what is happening with everyone. We won't really know until filing in 2018 to find out by comparing it to the 2017 returns. Of course, JO is getting 40% of my retirement pay so she got a little monthly increase on her 40%. She also gets $300.00 from my SS. My SS increased with COLA will be $732.00 is unchanged from 2017, the amount to pay for my medicare increase was exactly the same amount of my COLA so no gain. My total retirement now is 1187.77 plus 136.00 disability plus $732.00 SS with the total being $2055.77 so I am not living high on the hog. If the EX was gone I would be getting nearly $1000.00 more in my retirement. Her total retirement is nearly $1600.00 a month with little expense since she lives with Eric who pays for mostly everything.

February 2, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Ground Hag Day 2018

9:00PM Watching all of the yelling and talk about the Congressional memo. Of course, I have been watching FOX because I just can't stand what the Liberals are saying. Tried but it began to make sick at the stomach.

11:00AM The Fire Truck arrived. I explained to them it was false alarm and he said he had been notified but was already on the way so he just came by, no sirens or lights, thank goodness.
11:05AM Took the battery out of the alarm in the bedroom, I think that is located just over the door and if the door is open and there is smoke from cooking in the kitchen it hits it.
11:30AM We finally got to sit down and eat our lunch.
3:00PM Eric went home so he could be there in time to pickup Seth at 6PM.
4:00PM Removed the fire alarm from the ceiling just inside the door and placed it at the rear of the room. Will have to make sure the door leading to the bedroom is closed when I cook. Will get me a small fan to place in the window in the kitchen so it will take any smoke out of the kitchen.
5:33PM Eric text and said he was home and that his seedlings are starting to sprout.
6:00PM Still raining on and off, may be blowing over.

12:00PM Didn't notice that the water was off until I went to wash my hands and had no water.
12:13PM Called the Meadowbrook main office and got the answering machine so I left a message asking how long the water will be off. I want to take a shower and shave so I can go to the store.
2:00PM Talked to a Trust Company in Nashville, TN about MH insurance and they said ask a neighbor so I asked Steve and he does not have insurance but gave me a number to call that used to insure them.
3:00PM Water is back on. Called the local insurance that Steve gave me and they said that they can insure me but it would cost around $2000.00 a year. It is cost prohibited to buy insurance.
7:00PM Barb called. She wanted to talk to me before Dana came by from the grocery store.
7:40PM Kit called and we talk for over an half hour. Walt is at one of his meeting with his buddies. I had forgot that this is the first Monday of the month and I missed the LARC meeting. Will have to send in my dues.
9:30PM Bella and I went to check the mail. Believe it or not, I received my tax bill for my car for the second half of 2017 for $114.00. Do you think I will ever pay them since I will be transferring my title to Florida and getting my Florida registration. Won't need the tax receipt to get my license next year.

February 6, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.

7:55PM Called Carlos. He had mentioned on FB to call him. He needed the telephone number of the Meadowbrook MHP office. We talked for a while, he is in Chicago and heading for Mississippi and then on to Martinsburg, WV. 8:00PM Watching Tucker Carson on FOX.
9:30PM Bella wanted to go outside and Steve came over and said that there has been a Opossum running around the neighborhood and it is very aggressive. He cautioned me to watch when I let Bella outside. I normally don't take Bella out at night except when we go to bed. Will have to keep an eye out when I take her out at bedtime.
11:55PM Messaging with Troy on FB about his trip to Okeechobee for the festival. It is March 1 through March 4. Told him that he and his friends could come here on their way down and on their way back. He said he would get back to me on the body count of who is coming. I don't figure he is driving so it will depend on who furnishes the transportation. I can sleep two in the bedroom, one on the couch and a couple on the living room floor.

Seriously????
From: Wendy

Date: Wed, Feb 8, 2018 3:30 pm

Seriously? You unfriend me and then post about it? Actually, I do have the “backbone to confront you personally” regarding your bigoted, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and downright hateful posts, and I have done so in the past. But, instead of you engaging with me, you did what you always do --- you didn’t respond. Instead you let your like-minded friends reply. On at least two occasions I’ve replied to your posts and once I was personally attacked and called something along the lines of a libtard by one of your friends; which is not only offensive to progressive thinkers, but decidedly offensive to persons with developmental disabilities. Since you don’t reply when someone challenges you, I don’t even bother anymore. Your lack of any response also leads me to believe that you simply enjoy stirring the shit, but when you’re called out on it, you do the same thing our thin-skinned, orange-faced, “so-called” president does – whine about it on social media.

I have no idea what my mother said to you because she won’t admit to saying anything at all. I will not push her on it because I don’t want to draw her any further into this childish ridiculousness. It would upset her terribly and she would fret and stress endlessly over it. I love my mother very much, but she does not hear well and sometimes fills in the blanks for what she thinks she may have heard. Either way, it was a conversation between a mother and a daughter – not meant to drive a wedge between you and her. I think it’s rather silly you jumped to the conclusion that was my intention. Actually, I don’t think there is much I could say that would turn my mother against you. Maybe if I read to her the post you wrote about unfriending me, she might not take too kindly to it, but I seriously doubt it would change the way she feels about you. But, I won’t do that because quite frankly I’m done with this nonsense. My mother loves you very much and always tells me and others how much you do for her and how she can always rely on you to be there for her. She speaks very highly of you and until now, so did I. I think it is wonderful how much you care for Mom and that you always call her and check on her, while her own daughter who lives yards away from her, does not. I don’t know what she’d do down there in that god-forsaken-back country if she didn’t have you. However, like many of our other family members, she does not affirm your bigoted ideology. She is able to overlook it because she loves you. What I did was tell her about the heated discussion Kitty and Leah got into over a post you’d made. She asked what it was about and I told her almost verbatim what you’d posted. I did not put my “own slant on it.” I think she’s quite capable of drawing her own conclusions.

However juvenile it might be, if you want to forget I was ever in your life that is most definitely your prerogative. If by unfriending me and then posting about it on social media, your intention was to hurt or punish me in some way, you may be disappointed. However, it will most certainly hurt and greatly upset my mother, so I will not be speaking with her anymore about this. I am sure you do not want to upset her anymore either and I hope you’ll at least extend the same courtesy.

I’ll guess I’ll have to sign this, “your former” niece since you have forgotten I was ever in your life.

February 8, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
9:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside. I heard something chirping but could figure where it was coming from. Thought at first it was my cell phone and then possibly my computer that I did not turn off last night. Then finally figured out it was the fire alarm in the bed room. Took the battery out of the alarm (the same one that went off last week) and checked to see what time battery was in the alarms. The one in the kitchen has a 9V battery and the other three have lithium rechargeable 3V battery. Went on Amazon and ordered three new batteries and a AC charger. $25.00.
12:00PM Had a bowl of cereal for lunch.
5:00PM Fixed myself some fish for supper. Tried different seasoning to see which was the best. They all tasted good except the one was a little hot because of Cayenne pepper.

7:00PM Called Barb, we talked for a while.
9:00PM Watching movies and recording Greg Gutfield show and Watter's world to watch later.

7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while, mostly about how bad the weather was in WV.
9:00PM Just another boring, relaxing days. I am getting so I don't care if I see anyone. I have a couple neighbors that drop by to just talk and all I can think about is how soon are they leaving. I don't get on the radio much anymore. I listen a little on the repeater and usually say hello to a couple guys but don't get into length communications. Mostly I am on the computer doing research and writing and updating data from obituaries. I am beginning to become a recluse, just me and Bella, TV, and the computer.

February 14, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Happy Valentine's Day.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, she was very nervous when I got out and really rushed me to get outside. She must had been full of something, she did #2 three times before she came back in. I probably feed her to much, she is a little chubby but so am I. 12:00PM Had cereal w/banana for lunch.
5:00PM Had a Ham/cheese/tomato/lettuce, and onion on Cuban bread for supper. Put a pound of hamburger with vegetables, onion, carrots, potatoes, and diced tomatoes in crock pot so will have vegetable soup for supper tomorrow night.
6:00PM Had one of those things on FB that morphs you into another person and it said, what would you look like as a women. When they did it the woman sure looks familiar to me, must be me that I have been looking at in the mirror all of these yeas. I know it looks like someone in my family that I do resemble somewhat.
6:30PM Troy messaged me on FB, Jean Hollandsworth has been placed in a rest home, she has Alzheimer decease. I told him he should go see since he is her only relative in the area. I also told him to not lose it because his dad will probably show up and for him to keep his cool.
7:00PM Talked to Barb, told her about Jean and a relative that was in the Exp/Tel obits, Harold Grogg (his mother was a Wilt from the Gilmer County Wilts. Barb said she had just gotten back from going out to eat, Dana and Dwayne took her to Texas Roadhouse.
8:00PM Since the shooting at 2:15PM today all that is on TV is coverage of the shooting, they now say there are 17 dead, 10 still in the school building. They won't remove them until they are identified and the next of kin are notified. It is terrible but the news networks just lap it up and talk it to death. 9:00PM Watching TV movie and will check the news before I go to bed.

February 15, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to to bed
7:00AM Up and about, came to living room and turned on TV and watched some news, still nothing except the school shootings in Parkland, FL.
8:00AM Back to bed, no need to stay up, will just get sleepy later and fall asleep in the chair.
11:30AM Did sleep for a while, back up and took Bella outside. Had to clean up after someone else dog. I know it is someone that is taking their dog out after dark and just not being concerned about cleaning up after their dog. Find this at least 3 times a week.
12:00PM Had cereal for lunch w/banana. Had a glass of orange juice.
1:00PM Have the TV on but all they are talking about is the shooting so not paying much attention.
3:00PM Just thinking and trying to make sense about what has transpired over the last 4 years. Going through the Chronicle and establishing a Time Line. It appears I have paid out including lawyer fees and support of over $152,000.00
4:00PM Bella and I went to check the mail, got a VA appointment on Friday at VA in Lakeland at 2:20PM (Podiatry to get my toe nails cut)

11:45AM Checked into Watson clinic.
12:15PM Lady asked me what I was waiting for and I told her that I had a noon appointment with the Lab. She checked and said for some reason when I checked in the system did not print out a sheet for me in the lab. She went to the lab and checked and came back and print out a sheet and hand carried it to the lab. About five minutes later the lab tech came out and got me. Took blood and I left. 1:00PM Went to Walmart and bought me a pair of sandals and a pair of tennis shoes so I can run around without socks. Also bought two sets of sheets for Queen size bed. I needed new sheets for the Queen size bed in the master bedroom. Spent $114.87 and got $20.00 cash. Went to Crystal and had 4 Crystal hamburgers w/fries and a drink.
1:30PM Went to Lowe's and found a freezer. They had the 7.0 cu ft freezer on sale for $168.00 so bought it. Also picked up the roof paint and rollers and other things to paint the MH roof. Spent $485.71 at Lowe's. They will deliver the freezer and roof paint tomorrow. Cost me $79.00 for delivery but got a $42.25 military discount. Total I spent at Walmart and Lowe's was $620.58

5:00PM Had fish for supper.
7:00PM Called Barb, had a lot of trouble with echoes, had to call her twice and then she had to call me to get rid of the echo.
I will have to call Sprint and complain to them about every time I call WV I get echoes on the call.

February 21, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, she doesn't like the leash but she will eventually get used to it and accept it. Turned on TV and found out the Rev. Billy Graham died. Waiting for the truck from Lowe's to show up. The text said 8-12 and I figure it will be closer to 12 when he shows up.
10:15AM Had a bowl of cereal w/banana for breakfast.
11:00AM Truck arrived with my order. Placed the freezer in the Florida Room next to the steps. Turned on the freezer and placed a cup of water in freezer to see how long it takes to freeze.
2:00PM Noticed that the door on the microwave was broken. It looks it has cracked from pulling on the door handle. I took tape and repaired the plastic door cover and looked on the Internet and found the door cover for around $75.00 so looks like I will have to order the door cover before to long.
6:00PM Going to Store to get some groceries.
6:30PM Barb called me while I had my head in a freezer looking for some frozen chicken. We talked for a shot time, Wendy had gone to Dana's so she thought she would call me while Wendy was gone.
7:00PM Back home. Put all the frozen food in my new freezer. It seems to work very well so far.
9:00PM Told everyone Good Night and going to bed a little earlier than usual because I have to get up at 8am to take Bella to the groomer.

February 22, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
8:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, the grass is like walking in a wading pool. Bella came in dripping wet, had to dry her off.
8:30AM Took Bella to the Vets for grooming. They will call me when she is finished. Some idiot blew the horn at me because I stopped at "turning right on red". The law says you must stop before turning right on red. This idiot blew his horn before I even got stopped. What was he, black and the music blasting out so loud his windows were vibrating. After I turned right he passed me on a double yellow line before we even got out of the intersection. I followed him for 2 miles to the next light where he turned left. Just how much did he gain by blowing his horn and passing me on a yellow line?
9:00AM Back home and going to snooze in my chair.
12:00PM Awake and watching "Out Numbered" on FOX.
4:52PM Millie called. I was snoozing when she called. Talked for about 15 minutes and she said she is getting another cat or maybe a kitten.
6:00PM Called the Vet/groomer and they said Bella was ready to go. I went to get her and it cost $70.00, about the normal cost. I asked while there about cost of Bella being there and the girl told me that the cost was $114.00 a week (7 days).
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a short time, Wendy is there and they had been out all day and Barb was tired. Wendy just doesn't realize that when she is visiting that she just wears Barb out wanting to go all the time.
7:20PM Checked into the traders net on 146.685 repeater.
9:00PM Just my normal texting with Eric. Watching TV.

February 23,2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, received a call from Watson Clinic reminding me of my appointment on Feb 27th at 1:45pm. Took Bella outside and noticed that they had mowed the right of way but difficult to see where they stopped and I should begin to mow. Will wait a couple more days to mow and trim.
3:00PM Les from next door just dropped by. Seems someone hit him broadside in his car. He thinks the care is a complete lose. He has had his share of bad luck. He seems to be healing well with his open heart surgery. I would like to help him but I just don't want to get involved where it would put me under pressure. I just don't need to get involved in anyone else problems.
7:00PM Turned the A/C off and opened up the door to the Florida Room and the window in the living room. Nice breeze. Called Barb and we talked for about half hour. While talking to Barb, Eric called and I text him back when I got off the phone.
7:30PM Fixed a steak and am going to fix myself a large salad with steak on top of the salad.
9:00PM Watching western movie with Glenn Ford as a sheepherder in cattle country. Text with Eric several times.

February 24, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Took Bella outside and there were a couple men working on Leslie's hot water heater. They were looking for a pipe wrench so I loaned them one. I assume Les will bring it back when they are finished with it.
11:31AM My chairs were delivered by FedEx.
12:00PM Had Jimmy Dean's steak and eggs for lunch w/a glass of milk. Have the doors and windows open but it looks like it will be getting warmer this afternoon.
3:00PM Watching TV, and turned the A/C on, getting a little warm in side the MH.
6:00PM Noticed in Exp/Tel Obituaries that Shirley Zirkle Satterfield died last night at UHC. Called Millie to let her know because I knew Millie didn't get the newspaper and the obituary probably would be in the papers until Sunday. Also saw in the obituary that Coach Wayne Jamison died last night.
7:00PM Called Barb and talked for a while, she said she was going to watch a movie "Royal Hearts" on Hallmark Channel.
9:00PM Watching the movie "Royal Hearts".
9:30 Put a picture on FB condemning the school and county officials for not protecting the students at the Parkland, FL school. I figure a couple of people will say something but not many will even notice what I have to say.

---

11:00PM The movie was very good. No sex, no killing, no blood and guts, don't know how they got money to produce the movie. It was great family movie.

February 25, 2018

11:00AM Up and about, fixed myself a cup of coffee and took Bella outside for her morning romp.
11:30AM to 1:00PM Kit and I text back and forth several times. She said that Walt was not feeling well so he went back to bed. I hope it isn't the flu. We also discussed some politics and the views of Wendy and Becky. I feel sorry for those two, they just see the truth even when it hits them in the face. They are both Trump haters.

10:34AM The Terminex Exterminator called and told me he would be here around 3PM.
11:37AM Tyler called. He had gone to PA and bought a new car, traded his car and paid $2000 for a Audi and only drove 110 miles and the engine stopped running. He seems to think it is the timing belt. He wanted some advice, so I told him to take the Audi to the local dealer and have them determine what is wrong with the Audi, then call the dealer that he got the car from and see what they want to do and if they don't do anything then to call a local lawyer and ask for advice on what he should do. I sure hope that the problem is something small and if bad then the dealer will make it right by him.
3:00PM The Terminex Exterminator, Scott, came and I think he did a good job. He said that my bill should be $79.00 every three months.
6:00PM Saw in the Exp/Tel that David Carpenter had died.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while, and asked her if I had to get money to Tyler that I could tell him to come to her and she would give him a check and I will send her a check to cover it.
7:30PM Fixed two meat loaves and put them in the over.
8:00PM Watching Tucker on FOX channel.

10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, let her run on the leash.
11:00AM Had a banana and a cup of coffee. Taking a shower getting ready to go to the doctor at Watson's Clinic in Plant City.
1:45PM Arrived at Watson Clinic. My A1C was very high, over 9 and PA Wells got on my back and told me to increase my injection to 65 units. She said she would call in a prescription at Walgreen in Plant City.
2:30PM Went to Walgreen to pick up my sugar test strips and some vitamin B12 tablets and pickup the prescription. The prescription was not ready so they told me they would call me when it was ready to be picked up.
4:30PM Walgreen called and said my prescription was ready and I would have 7 days to pick it up.
5:00PM Looked up to see what Flomax is and the internet says it is for prostrate problems. I hope it helps a little. I am getting tired of having to go so often.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while.
7:30PM Tyler said something about getting a new engine and I asked who was going to pay and all he said was himself so I gave him some advice about calling the Attorney General hot line in WV and if he got no help from them to call the Attorney General in PA and talk to them to see what they can do for him. Tyler is just to easy going. I would be calling them the worse names I could think of and calling everyone I could think of. If they are not wanting to pay anything, raising hell doesn't hurt but improve things. I will worry about this until Tyler works it out.
9:00PM Texting with Eric and he said he may be down on Saturday, and told him I would have steak or ribs which ever he wanted.

3:00PM We tried to make a FB video connection on both computers and on the one in the living room I could hear him but he could not hear me. Then tried the computer in the bed room and he could hear me but I could not hear him. What's new?
4:00PM Troy said he finally got things straightened out with Prudential. I downloaded the FB messenger for my phone and now I am getting all of these waves from a lot of people. Just one of those things that bug you. . If I keep getting this FB activity on my phone I will have to delete the messenger APP. Watching Judge Judy.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while.
7:30PM Text Eric about trying to video chat. He didn't answer me, probably picking up Josh from work.
8:00PM Watching Tucker on FOX.
9:00PM Eric said his pad isn't working now so we can't try video chat and Tyler says he does want to use FB so looks like I won't be talking to anyone on FB video chat, even though I am getting all kinds of waves on the FB video, may have just created another monster. If it bugs me I will just remove it from my phone.

March 1, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection 65units, getting ready to go to bed. My direct deposits from Uncle Sam should be put in my account today and my SS in a couple days. Just checked the bag I got from Walgreen and all that was in it was the B12 tablets. I don't think they gave my test strips so will have to call them tomorrow.
9:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside, another beautiful day.
10:00AM Received a call from Walgreen that I have a prescription to pick up. Called Walgreen and they told me that I had one prescription which is my test strips. No prescription has been called in for Flomax. 11:00AM Called Watson Clinic and left a message for Lindsey Wells about no prescription. Then called the front desk and ask them about the prescription. She misunderstood me thinking I was talking about Walmart and not Walgreen so there is a possibility that Lindsey called the wrong place. She said she would check and get back to me. 12:45PM Watson Clinic called and said the PA went over my records and said I am taking a drug similar to Flomax so she just wants me to double my present drug from 5mgs to 10 mgs each day and she sent a new prescription to Express Script to increase my tabs from 5 to 10 mgs tabs.
3:00PM Mowed and trimmed the grass, Took me an hour to cut the grass. Not as fast as I used to be. 4:15PM Finished grass and watching Judge Judy.
5:00PM Watching The Five.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while, the weather in WV is lousy, nothing but rain and sleet.
8:00PM Watching Tucker. Still talking about the shooting and gun control. They will talk it to death and then it will just fade until the next shooting.
9:00PM Millie called and we talked until after 10PM.

March 2, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Increase my Terazosin to 10mg tonight.
12:00PM Up and about, took Bella outside. Nice day.
12:15PM Turned on TV and watching the funeral of Billy Graham. It is being covered live TV by FOX and checked CNN and no mention of the funeral, just commentary slamming Trump by Wolf and Schomer.
1:00PM Taking shower and getting ready to go to foot doctor at VA clinic, Lakeland.
2:10PM In and out of the clinic. Made appointments for the family practice VA clinic. June 11, 2018 1:45PM Lab Lakeland VA Clinic. Jun 18, 2018 1:30PM Pact Nurse screening. June 18, 2018 2:00PM examination and evaluation. Aug 3, 2018 Podiatry Lakeland VA Clinic.
3:00PM Went to Walgreen Plant City and picked up sugar test strips.
3:30PM Stopped at Burger King and had a chicken sandwich and then went to Publix to shop. Found frozen bread and got 8 loaves. Found Publix prices seem to be a little higher than Harvey's especially the deli prices. 5:00PM Back home, did see a produce market on the corner of Wiggins and Mudella so will have to go back in a couple days and see just what they have and see if the vegetables are better or cheaper than in the store. Talked to Steve and he told me he lost his job and is looking for another one. He also said his wife's hours have been cut so money is going to be tight. He also told me that several people have moved and have MH for sale but no buyers. Several people have been evicted for not paying rent on time. He said most people here are on SS and their money doesn't show up until after the first of the month and then they have late fees for not paying rent on time. The one thing that worries me is the owners decide that they can't afford to keep the park open and close down or they will sell out and then you don't know what will happen, rent going up, services cut etc.
5:30PM Got a FB message from Ceil letting me know that she and Bill may be in Sebring, FL next week and mentioned that they may want to meet for dinner or a visit. Sebring is 60 miles south of me and I don't think they will be driving so I figure they may fly from Sebring and stop over in Lakeland. I hope that is the case. I could drive to the Lakeland airport and pick them up and they could stay overnight and fly out the next day. I would much rather cook for them than go out to dinner. I think I am a pretty good cook and a lot cheaper.
7:00PM Called Barb, had an echo and Barb had to call me back before we could have a good connection.
9:00PM Got a message back from Ceil and she said that she would give me a call when they come down here next week possibly.

11:00AM Having trouble in the water draining from the kitchen sink. The garbage disposer is blowing the ground fault breaker. Working to clear the kitchen sink drain.
12:00PM Eric called, he is stuck in traffic about 35 miles from Lakeland.
1:20PM Eric arrived. 4:00PM Eric grilled two steaks and I fixed some red potatoes and green beans. Eric worked on the drain with the plumbers helper and it appears he got the plug cleared but the garbage disposal still blows the breaker. I think I will just stop using the garbage disposal.
5:00PM Eric is trimming the grapefruit tree. He took the pressure washer and washed the mold growing on the grapefruit tree and trimmed off a lot of the dead limbs and branches. It really looks good.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a short time. Will talk a little longer tomorrow night.

9:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside and Eric and I watched Bella while he smoked a cigarette.
10:00AM Fixed a large pot of coffee for Eric and I. My coffee pot stopped working so used my tea pot to make coffee. It is probably just the clock mix up on the coffee pot.
1:00PM Fixed a large salad with chicken for lunch.
3:00PM Eric just left for home, said he would call when he got home.
3:30PM Got on the radio and talked to several throughout the Caribbean. Made some contacts on 20/17/15 meters. Condition are not bad but with the DX contest being on, I didn't really talk, just made contacts with reports.

4:00PM Put a rack of ribs in the oven, will bake for around 2 hours and then check. Watching Judge Judy. Just heard Sam on repeater talking about the LARC meeting tonight. I don't think I will go. For some reason I just don't enjoy the meetings. It will probably take me a while before I get used to the hams around here and participate.
5:00PM Got the ribs out of the oven. They were very good, ate several and had some broccoli as a vegetable.
5:45PM Went to clean up after supper and I have no water. Called the office and, of course, all I got was a recording. Wonder how long the water will be off. Turned on the cold water faucet in kitchen so I will know when the water comes back on. This time of the evening for the water going off can be a problem because there is no one that wants to work at night to fix the water.
8:00PM My water just came back on. The kitchen faucet and the bathroom faucet were both running. 8:30PM Loaded the dishwasher and started it to wash the dishes.
9:00PM Watching "Crocodile Dundy". Have seen it before so will probably turn over to FOX at 9pm.

1:00PM Took a shower and getting ready to go shopping.
3:00PM Went and picked up the mail and nothing but junk mail and advertisements. Got the Harvey flyer but found out when I went to the store that the flyer does not go into effect until tomorrow so will have to go to the store again. Had meat on sale in the flyer.

11:31AM Ceil called and said she and Bill were at the airport but are getting reports of winds in Lakeland. I have been watching the weather here in Lakeland. They say the winds are out of the NW at 10-20mph and choppy water conditions.

2:15PM Ceil called and they are not coming today because of the wind in Lakeland.

10:30AM Dropped Bill and Ceil off at the Hertz/FPO at the airport and they got their car are heading to Seminole for the day to visit friends. Ceil indicated last night that her friends in Seminole did not invite them to stay overnight so they will be back here for supper. She will probably call me and let me know when they will arrive so I can have supper ready when they get here. It is Friday so I promised Bill I would have fish for him to eat since Bill is Catholic. 11:00AM Back home. I have to make a run to the grocery store sometime today to pick up a few things.

8:30AM Fixed coffee, Bill and Ceil had some breakfast and loaded the car and off to the airport. Bill left me an item he bought from Golf Avionics yesterday and I am going to return it on Monday and get his money back. It is an Ipad holder that straps to your leg so it can be used when flying and it does not hold his Ipad securely, so it moves around in the holder. Bill forgot to take his small soap holder, will keep until they came back for a visit.
10:53AM Ceil and Bill arrived in Sebring safe and sound.
12:00PM Had some salmon for lunch.

12:00PM Had lunch, bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich.
1:20PM Walter called and we talked for a while. He was wondering what kind of a plane Bill had and all I know is the registration or tail number. Will try to find out and let him know. He still has his cough. While talking to Walter, Kit interrupted and said she needed him so we hung up. Walt wanted to know if Bill was a member of QBs, what ever QBs are, probably a pilot organization.
1:30PM Went on line and looked up Bill's registration number, N305Z and looked up his registration, He has a 1960 Beach 35-33 fixed wing single engine 4 seats, so text that information to Kit.
4:00PM Went to the deep freezer and found it was off so figured out it was the wall plug was dead. Checking all of the breakers and no results yet.
7:00PM Barb called while I was trying to turn off breakers and check to see which the freezer was plug in. Run a extension cord and plugged in the freezer until I find out the electrical circuit.
8:00PM Finally figured that the plug the freezer is plugged in is the same one in the kitchen that has a Ground Fault plug and it had turned the circuit so the power was there from the breaker.
I reset the GF breaker and plugged in a light in the kitchen so I can notice if the breaker trips. It is the same breaker that the garbage disposal is on, so it may be a little soft and I will have to get a new one and replace this one.

1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Today is Jo's 80th birthday. I assume she is as mean as ever. She surely did not mellow over the years.
9:30AM Door bell rang but when I got up and looked out there wasn't anyone there. Maybe I was hearing things. Took Bella outside. The two blue cranes were out this morning. Women across the right of way was feeding them. They are really noisy birds.

5:00PM Decided to go to the store and closed things up and tried to turn on the A/C while I was gone because I was leaving Bella and it was getting a little warm in the MH. The A/C would not come on and I fooled around with it and the thermostat and could not get it to come on. Checked the breakers and everything seemed to be OK except the A/C, fan, or furnace would not come on. The display in the thermostat was out. Opened the windows and turned on the floor fan. Called Sam N7CUC since he had been a A/C tech for several years. Left him a message on the voice mail.
6:00PM Going to the grocery store and get a few things.
6:15PM While pulling into the store Sam called me back and I ask if you would recommend a local A/C repairman in the area and he asked me a few questions and gave me some advice on what to check. He also said that a company called Payne was a good repair company, honest but expensive.
7:00PM While shopping Barb called and i told her I would call her back when I got home.
8:00PM Back home and putting things away so I called Barb.
8:30PM Going through the advice Sam gave me and fooled around more with the thermostat and it started working. I think that it must have been that the thermostat was not seated well in socket.
9:00PM Fixed myself some supper and have most of the things put away. Everything I needed to put in the refrigerator and freezer I put away. Started watching FOX.

7:00PM Called Barb and the line was busy. Called her back and she answered. She had been talking to Millie. Millie knows that I call Barb at 7pm every night and she has done this several times, calling me at 7pm.

March 20, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
10:30AM Raining.
11:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside, everything wet but not raining. very cloudy. There is a tornado warning for most of the day but it is in the counties north west of here.

7:00PM Getting ready to call Barb at the hospital she called me on her cell phone, so I called her back on the UHC phone
10:00PM Text with Kit and Eric. Told Kit goodnight and continuing to text with Eric.

March 21, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Washed my bedding so will have to make my bed before I go to bed.
8:45AM Ceil text that she had received the information I sent her about Pietro's Castle in Morgantown.
10:40AM Barb called and confirmed that the doctor said she had a heart arrhythmia and he was going to put her on medication and send her home and she would have to wear a monitor for a while. She also said that Dana said the phone was working again. I was concerned her going home and not having the emergency alert button working. She said that there was about 2 inches of snow on the ground. Being March the snow shouldn't last to long because the ground is warm.
11:00AM Took Bella outside. It is very windy but is sunny with lots of clouds. There has been several large planes take off this morning flying very low. I assume that being low is because of the wind. Had some grits and a cup of coffee. Temperature 65 degrees.
12:00PM Kit called and we talked for a while. She seems to think that I am worrying to much about Barb. I tried to tell her that I am not worrying. I am concerned. Barb having a heart arrhythmia is very dangerous for her because she is living alone. She thinks that Dana will be there until Wendy gets there. How long will that last. Wendy will stay around for a few days and Barb will insist that she go back to Columbus. Wendy keeps life in an uproar all the time she is there. When Barb talks to me when Wendy is there, Wendy wants to bad mouth me all the time. When Wendy bad mouths me Barb gets very upset. Barb is very careful what she says when she talks to me, she is always afraid she will say something that will set Wendy off. Wendy is always bringing up about money Barb gives to Dana and that Dana is living for free on the farm and taking advantage of Barb. Dana will fall back into her routine and Barb will be on her own again. I asked Kit to think about going back to WV with me in July. She said she would rather fly then drive. I suggested that she drive to my location and then we could drive together for the trip to WV. This will probably be the last chance that we three will be together for quite a while.
7:00PM Called Barb and talked for a while. She said that the doctor just gave her some medication and told her to come back in a couple weeks. I am very concerned that the doctors may drag their feet and Barb may get worse. I pray that she recovers and gets along well.
8:00PM Watching Tucker Carlson.
8:20PM Millie called and I read all of the obituaries from the Exponent/Telegram. We knew several of the people that have died in the month of March.

3:00PM Had some homemade soup for lunch. Had a pop cycle for dessert.
3:00PM Cut a cantaloupe and had some for a late lunch or early snack.
6:50PM Barb called and I asked why calling early and she said Wendy was there and wanted to watch TV news (probably CNN) about, as Barb put it, watch what the Asshole has done to our stock market. I wish Wendy would keep her mouth shut, all she does is preach to her mother about how bad Trump is and what he is doing to our country. We could do without idiots like Wendy and Bob Louthen, and she really got upset when I removed her from my friends list on Facebook. I was getting tired of her bull shit. It will take me a week talking to Barb to get her settled down after Wendy goes back to Columbus.
7:15PM Went to CVS and picked up some Neosporin and band aids and bandages for my infected middle finger on my right hand. I have an infected hang nail.
8:00PM Watched Tucker Carlson.
11:00PM Watched Shannon Bream. Wendy would say I was being brain washed by all of that Conservative, Bull Shit, on FOX News. I tried watching CNN and after about 30 minutes I start getting sick the way they twist the facts.

March 23, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside.
1:00PM Baked some biscuits and made some sausage gravy and had biscuits and gravy.
4:00PM My finger feels a little better. The Neosporin must be working. I have a first aid kit somewhere but I just remember where. I will have to keep looking for it.
7:00PM Called Barb and she called me at the same time. Talked with her for a few minutes, Wendy is there so I thought I would let her visit with Wendy and we can talk again tomorrow night.
8:00PM Watching Tucker Carlson on FOX. Oh me and my conservative ideals. I must be brain washed by FOX and the right.
9:00PM Watching a movie.
11:00PM Watching Shannon Bream and just sitting endorsing another boring evening. Did not run A/C or heat today. It is supposed to be warmer tomorrow.

11:21PM Eric called and he was very upset. Seth had found his mother, Eva, dead in her bathroom by hanging. He found her at 7:30pm. Eric said Seth and James (Eva's partner) were both home when it happened. Eric did not have any more information other than what Seth had told him, which wasn't in any detail.
11:30PM Called Barb and talked to Wendy and told her what I knew. Barb was in bed.
11:34PM Text Kit telling her bad news.

March 25, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
12:00PM Didn't sleep very well last night. Finally got to sleep around 6:30am. Took Bella outside.
12:30AM Barb called and I told her I didn't know anymore than I knew last night.
1:15PM Called Eric and advised him to not put his name on anything because he is the only one with property and the hospital,and funeral home and any other agency that wants money will come after him. The boys and James should be responsible for all the expenses caused by Eva's death. I also warned him that the boys will need to blame someone for their mother's suicide and he will catch it from all sides, so not to let it get to him, it is normal human behavior to have to blame someone and they can't be angry with their mother, she is dead.
Eric said that they sent her body to St. Augustine for an autopsy. That will take a while. I know it took several days for Mindi in 2010,so it won't be before the middle of the week until they get the body back. He also said that he believes that there will be no service. Just cremation. I told Eric I was planning to go back to WV in July and if the boys would want to take their mother's remains home they could go back with me and then they could have some sort of memorial service at the church or some where that the family could hold and not cost the boys anything. Will have to see about that.
1:50PM Millie called and told her about Eva hanging herself last night. While talking to Millie, Kit peeped in so I hung up and talked to Kit.
2:30PM Called Millie back and we talked for a short time.
3:00PM Back to watching TV. Temperature is up to 85.8 degrees and I have the A/C on 6:30PM Called Betty Moran to let her know about Eva. She told me that she had just gotten back from burying her brother in Pennsylvania. He had been very bad for quite a while but just recently fell and exasperating his condition.
7:10PM Called Barb and we talked for a while. She didn't mention whether Wendy had gone home or not.
8:00PM Watching TV History Channel; "The Men Who Built America: Frontiersmen".
9:30PM Talked to Casey at her new number. Eric text me her new number.
11:26PM Eric called and he told me they all have to call a funeral home and check on what they are going to have to do.

March 26, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
12:00PM Received a text from Becky about Eva's suicide. Took Bella outside.
1:00PM No lunch, just had a coke zero.
4:00PM Ate the remainder of the meatloaf from last night.
6:00PM Made a pot of coffee and baked some cinnamon rolls.
8:30PM Text with Eric, he said it was costing $1500 to cremate Eva's body. No one seems to know where the money is coming from so the funeral home had to be paid up front so Eric put it on his credit card. He just can't afford paying for this useless death and funeral. Dale has been on Facebook all day saying how sad everyone is and begging for donations to bury his sister. He is a 47 year old man and can't even pay to have his sister buried. Maybe he would have it if he didn't gamble. He makes as much money as I do and I have over $200 more to pay out each month that he doesn't so why doesn't he have money in the bank. I doubt if he even has a bank account. I know he pays his rent in cash. Enough about Dale. Where is James, the live in boy friend. He works and in the national guard so why doesn't he have any money, he is trying to get the NG to help him pay for the funeral. I offered Eric to pay the $1500 that he put on his credit card so he wouldn't have to pay all of the interest of a credit card. Of course, I am not giving him the money. I expect it back. He just had to put out $740 because he had to pay for his car to be fixed and a rental up front, which he should get back from the insurance company when they pay for the accident because it was the women's fault. Dale made a remark on Facebook that they are having a memorial service and collecting money for the memorial and funeral. I will say that Eric will never see anything from Dale or his mother on the funeral. If they collect anything they will spend it on the memorial service. I may sound bitter, and I am because I have watched this family live on the dole for to many years.
9:00PM Watching FOX News and listening to all the bull shit about these idiot kids marching and the liberals egging it on and using all of these dumb kids that don't even know what a assault rifle even is. Crazy people, that by law are complete sane will continue to kill and terrorize whether it is with a hand gun, assault weapon, or bombs they will continue. Children should be seen and not heard, do what they are told when they are told to do. They can say and do what ever they wish when they become an adult, somewhere around 21 years old. They can start running the world after they have worked for several years and contributed to their country. I feel that every individual, male and female, should serve in the military or nothing less than 2 years of public service.

March 27, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection,getting ready to go to bed.
12:00PM Up and about, took Bella outside.
1:00PM Had two cups of coffee and two cinnamon rolls.
2:00PM Test Eric, nothing new today other than he pulled some radishes and sent me a picture.
3:00PM Saw on Facebook, Dale is asking for donations through GOFUNDME.com. I checked to see what GOFUNDME.com charges to collect money. It says they no longer charge for collection of money but they do charge a 2.9% processing fee. To me that is a charge, that means for every $100 you collect thorough them they receive around $3. ($2.90).
7:00PM Barb called and we talked for a while, She said that she didn't sleep well last night and is very tired tonight. Going to take a nap.
7:25PM Millie called and we talked for a while.
8:00PM Watching Tucker Carlson.
9:00PM Watching TV news and texting with Eric.
10:00PM Asked Eric about the car that Eva drove and he said it was in James name with insurance covering Seth. He also said Seth paid half of the insurance. If that works out I just wonder how well it will work out. I figure it will go OK until Seth puts on some pressure about use of the car or when the insurance comes due again. I figure James will let Seth use the car until it becomes a problem with James putting out money. I also wonder how long it will be before Seth moves in with his dad.

March 28, 2018

March 29, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, beautiful day again. Sunny with slight breeze.
3:00PM Going to the store. Jim Martin called just as I got to McDonald's. Had two for $5 fish sandwiches and then went to Harvey's to pick up a few groceries.
4:00PM Back home and putting groceries away.
6:30PM Betty Moran called to let me know that Eva's obituary was in the paper today. She said she got a call from a relative of her husband Bud and the person told her that Dale is telling everyone that the reason Eva hanged herself was because she was bipolar and she could not afford to buy her medication since she does not have health insurance. Looks like he is trying to put a better face on this. I asked her if my tree was still there and she says it is gone. Looks like either the new owner removed it or it died during the bad snowy weather. Very sad it is gone.
9:00PM Found out that because while recording The Five and not stopping it or making a change the cable receiver took over and when I pulsed it and so everything is playing 1 hour later. When it gets 10pm I will return the cable receiver to live and that will straighten it out.

March 30, 2018

12:00PM Lunch, not much, just some cereal.
7:00PM Talked to Barb. 10:00PM Kit text and said that she and Walter will be here on the late afternoon or early evening on April 11 and will return home on the 14th. I hope they have a good time. I am not planning on going to the Sun & Fun with them. I would just be a drag and would wear myself out. I would much rather stay home and make sure they have a good dinner after a long day at Sun & Fun. I not one for eating out but I figure Walter will insist on taking me out to dinner on one of the evenings. 11:00PM Watching a new series intro by the name of "The Titan", one of those space movies about resettling a moon around Saturn.
11:59PM Checked to see if my retirement money is in my checking account since the 1st is on Sunday. Navy retirement has been deposited.

11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, overcast. My batteries in my weather station have gone dead. My batteries in my weather monitor went out last week. Will have to check to see if I have any AAA batteries for the remote.
12:00PM Had some cereal for lunch and a cup of coffee. Text Eric and asked about any progress. He just ignores me and says nothing other than, things are OK. He just won't talk about Eva's death. He hasn't said whether her body has been returned from the coroner yet. If they don't return the body soon then there must be something wrong. Just wondering if he is just not talking or if the coroner is finding something. I suppose eventually he will tell me something. He also said that he will be getting his car back next week. I called the funeral home and they told me that arrangements for cremating have been made but the body was not back from the coroner yet.
7:00PM Barb called and we talked for about 30 minutes.
8:55PM Tyler called and we talked for a while. He said he should get his car back from the garage in a couple days. They are putting coils in the car. I don't understand how they do it today but it has something to do with the cylinders firing.
9:30PM Called Millie and we talked for a while. We wished each other Happy Easter.

April 1, 2018
1:00AM It is Easter. Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside. Nice day but cloudy, temperature 79 degrees.
1:40PM Got a text from Eric letting me know that Eva's body is at the funeral home in Palaka this morning. He said when he called this morning that the body was not back yet but then they let him know that it had arrived. I assume now they will cremate her and the boys will get the ashes back.
1:45AM I told him about Dale putting on FB about the memorial service they held in Clarksburg at Kupal Towers yesterday. I wonder how much Dale collected for Eva's cremation and bills here in Florida. Knowing Dale he won't send everything he collected or will say he didn't collect as much as he did. I never did trust him. Eric will end up paying on the funeral. Ir isn't Eric's responsibility to pay for Eva's funeral. She created this problem not Eric.
7:00PM Barb called and we talked for a while. She said she had a nice Easter. She said that she had gone to Dana's for dinner and it was great.

7:00PM Called Barb and talked for a while. She was not feeling well. She said she was up all night with her stomach messed up. Told me Wendy is supposed to come down this week end and they are going to PA to Bradly's just for the day. I suppose it is something with the baby, probably a shower. Big deal. You would think that a new baby was something out of the ordinary, no big deal, all that BS about have a tell the sex party and then a shower. All Barb would need to do is either send a check or a small gift for the baby. Barb is not well enough to travel to PA and back in one day. Her daughters don't seem to realize that. She get tired very easy and she needs to relax. I feel guilty to be saying with her in July but I will put as little stress on her as I can.
7:30PM Called Iris and we talked for a while. She told me that Billy Stiles Parrish sold her house and she is moving to either NC or SC with her daughter, Linda.
9:00PM Called Millie and we talked for about 1/2 hour. I am trying to keep our phone calls to less than a 1/2 hour. Gave her heck for not letting me know that she had been in the hospital, and she mentioned tonight that she had had a blood clot but it was gone now. She tells me what she wants me to know, but i figure that is all of us.

7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while. She said Wendy would be there tomorrow and she and Wendy are going to Bradley's for the baby shower on Saturday. In my opinion Barb should stay home. She should not have to take the trip to Bradley's and back in one day. She will be completely worn out by the time she gets back on Saturday evening.

April 12, 2018
00:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
7:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside.
9:00AM Walt and Kit out of bed. Checking to make some breakfast, made a new pot of coffee.
9:30AM Emptied the dish washer while Walt and Kit had their breakfast. Walt told me that he believed he would go back home and not attend the Sun & Fun. He is having a lot of pain from the medication he started yesterday. He is afraid that he might get worse so he said he is not going to the Sun & Fun.
12:00PM Walt and Kit just left for home. It is a 3 hour drive. Walt is a year older than I and I know what it is to have side effects from some of this medicine doctors want to give you.
1:00PM Worked W4S again today, Sam N7CUC was on the mic and we had a nice QSO.
4:20PM Test from Kit, they stopped at Vero Beach at a retail outlet before going home.

9:00PM Called Millie and talked for a time and I told her that I had seen in the obits that Malcolm Wright had died in Marion, OH.
10:00PM Went into the guest bedroom to see if Kit and Walter had forgotten anything and found a envelop on the bed. I opened the envelop and their was a PUBLIX card in it. I was so pissed that I almost throw into the trash but I thought I better look if there was an indication of the amount of the card and there was a receipt with the card for $100.00, and then I was really hurt and pissed to think that they thought I needed the money for them staying here over night. I am putting it into an envelop and sending it back with no note. It made me feel that I was being given "food stamps" to help pay for their visit. I texted Kit and told her I was hurt if it was Walter's idea and was really pissed if it were her idea. I almost put a check in the envelop for $65.00 to help Walter pay for his medicine that he must not be able to afford or he wouldn't have gotten so upset over the cost when Kit gave him the bill here yesterday afternoon.
11:00PM Watching Shannon Bream on FOX.

April 13, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
9:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside.
10:00AM Read the text from Kit about me being hurt or pissed about the Publix card that was left on my bed when they left. She just does not understand. When you invite anyone, especially family, to come and visit and stay for one or more nights, a gift of no kind is needed. All that is needed and expected is a "thank you, for having me." I would never accept money or a monetary gift of any kind from anyone staying with me unless it would be for an extended time. I stayed in Kit's condo in 2016 for two months and I really struggled if I should pay her but It was for an extended time and I gave her money to cover the rent. It was empty, she had moved in with Walter and could not get out of her lease so what I paid helped with the rent, which I thought was appropriate but coming and staying just one night I would never want or even expect any monetary payment. I was reared by the same two people that reared her and she learned the same as I did. Do things for the love of doing it and never expect to be paid for your hospitality. I will say no more to her about this incident and I will mail the $100 Publix gift card back to her.
4:00PM Went to check the mail and mailed the Publix gift card to Kit.
7:00PM Called Barb and, of course, I had to rant at her about the gift card and about Walter's actions while he was here.
8:00PM Watching FOX TV, Tucker Calson.
9:00PM Just relaxing and watching, new Series "Lost in Space" based on the old "Lost in Space, Robinson Family". Got through Friday the 13th.

April 14, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside.
1:00PM Kit called and we talked and I told her how I felt about leaving the Publix gift card on my bed. She said it was Walter's idea to give me the gift card because I didn't want to attend the Sun & Fun with them or not go out for dinner. I tried to explain to her that I enjoy catering to guests in my house, and I like cooking for them. She said that is the way Walter and his friends do when visiting. Why should I do as they do. They should respect my feelings and that I need no more than a thank you when they leave and I am happy they had a good time and enjoyed themselves. I'll leave it to that, if Walter doesn't understand he has the problem and not me. What I believe is that his family were always expected to pay their way and not accept just plain hospitality and friendship and nothing else.
2:00PM Had some lunch, sausage and eggs with a glass of orange juice.
6:30PM Went to the Mail Box to pick up my mail. There were three large packages in my box. They were addressed to 73 Pritchard St which the next street over. Took them to the residents of 73 Pritchard St. They were a Puerto Rico family.
7:10PM When I got back Barb had called so I called her back and we talked for over 1/2 hour. I told her what Kit and I talked about and I also told her that Walter is a very difficult man to get along with. He was so ill that he had to get home and then today he is on his boat getting ready to go fishing with a friend. I really feel sorry for Kit, I could not put up with his Bull Shit for very long. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he treats everyone as though they are trying to take advantage of him for his money. It must be miserable to think that you are only wanted for your money. I know he likes going out on his 29ft fishing boat but I bet he has never gone trout fishing and wading around in ice cold water and sleeping in a tent overnight. I wish I were able to do that now. I would like to find someplace down here that I could go out and sit on the bank and fish. I know there are places but I just don't know where they are.
8:00PM Millie called and we talked for 30minutes. She told me Biggie Martin died so when I got off the phone I went to the Obituaries and looked up his obituary.
9:00PM Watching TV, "Lost in Space" on Netflix.

April 15, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, sounds like the next door neighbor is remodeling, lots of hammering and he has plywood stacked up in his carport. Took Bella outside, windy with clouds. Probably rain later in the day or night.
12:00PM Received a text from Ceil. She said that they were getting back to normal, but they gained a few pounds on their trip south.
1:00PM Not much going on today, will probably be just another day in the boring life of a recluse.
2:00PM Note: Was just thinking that with the little incident on the 11th, I doubt I will get a call from Walter like before. We will have to see. If Kit conveys to him what I said and lets him know I sent the gift card back, I have a feeling he won't be friendly over the phone as he was before. I hope I am mistaken and everything goes back as it was before.
4:30PM Pouring down the rain as expected, winds up to 35mph.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a short time this evening.
9:00PM Watching movies again on Netflix.

11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside. Another beautiful day, lots of sun but not to hot yet.
1:00PM A termite inspector came to check the MH for termites. His name is Paul and he had an assistant with him. I have an appointment for a service for respraying for roaches since I found a few in the kitchen. Paul told me the MH looked good for termites but he didn't find any. He only checked inside and on the exterior of the MH. He did not go under or look under the MH. Called Terminex to make sure that the service was still on from 2-4 and they confirmed the service at that time.
2:30PM Called Express Script about a refill of Terasonine and then called Watson Clinic about the medication, left a voice mail at Watson Clinic.
3:00PM Waiting to hear from the Terminex exterminator, supposed to be here between noon and 4pm but they usually call before coming.
3:45PM Terminex serviceman arrived, name David. Nice young man and appeared to look and put out some roach killing compound.

12:00PM Watching FOX news, "Out Numbered".
1:00PM Had some lunch, grits w/egg and butter.
2:30PM Watching a movie, "Twin".

Note:
Was just wondering when I will have my phone paid off so went back in my Blog to find out. That is one good thing to use a blog for is to see when you did something. December 7, 2016 4:00PM Took Troy to work and then went to Walmart and picked up a new phone. Will cost me $3.67 for 24 months which is $88.08 plus I paid $6+ tax so that isn't anymore than I would have to pay for a phone on Internet. That means the phone will be paid off on December 2018.

7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for 20 minutes. Weather is still cold and snow in WV. She had to change her doctor's appointment from today until tomorrow. Hope the weather is better.
8:00PM Watching Tucker Carlson, everything tonight is about Barbara Bush dieing at age 92.
9:00PM Watching TV, shows as usual, will watch Shannon Bream at 11pm but she will probably talk a lot about Barbara Bush.

April 18, 2018

6:00AM Email from DFAS of new address:
Defense Finance and Accounting Service
U.S. Military Retired Pay
8899 E 56th Street
Indianapolis IN 46249-1200
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, another beautiful day.
12:00PM Had some cereal, Rice Krispies, for lunch. Have to go to the store and pick up a few things.
3:30PM Going to store, stopped by the bank and took out $200.00 just in case Tyler may need some money when he comes down. I offered to buy tickets to Busch Gardens but he said he didn't want to go, he just wanted to visit because he was only going to be here for two days. Stopped by McDonald's and had a big mac w/fries and a diet coke.
6:00PM Back from the store, when I went across the tracks on Wabash there was an electronic sign stating the crossing would be closed on Monday, April 23, 2018. The last time the sign was there they didn't close the crossing. Have to go another way to the bank and the grocery store that week.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for about 30 minutes.
8:00PM Watching Tucker Carlson, Tucker off tonight. 9:00PM Now I am watching "The Five" that I recorded at 5pm.
9:20PM Eric called and we talked for a short time. I asked about his car and he said the garage is supposed to call him tomorrow and his car should be finished by Friday. I also asked him if he got the funeral paid of and he told me he had to take the money from his savings to pay the total of the cremation. I asked how much he got from the GOFund on the Internet and he said that he was told that they collected $1800.00 on Gofund but he only received $500.00. He has no idea what happened to the rest of what was collected. His brother in law was the one working with Gofund and that is all he has sent Eric. Looks like some money went down a rat hole somewhere or was it into a rat's pocket somewhere. 10:00PM Watching the news on FOX.
11:00PM Watching a movie, "Fort Osage".

April 19, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, another beautiful day in paradise. LOL.
12:00PM Had some cereal w/banana for lunch.
5:00PM Text with Eric and Johnathan said he talked to Troy and Tyler is flying down. I hope he doesn't have any problems, I assume since he has not said anything to me is because he may back out at the last minute since he has never flown before. I assume he said Chandler was coming with him and they are renting a car to drive from Sanford down. As far as I know you have to have a credit card and be 21 years old so Tyler can't rent a car because he is not 21 yet. I hope everything goes OK because I don't want to have to drive to Sanford at midnight. The flight according to on line schedules departs Clarksburg at 9:29 and arrives in Sanford at 11:59.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while. Nothing new to talk about tonight. A call beeped in while talking talking to Barb.
7:30PM Called the number and it was Millie, she is in UHC. She fell and called the emergency car and they took her to the hospital. She said she would probably be there for 3 or 4 days, said it has something to do with her arthritis. This is the reason I do not to co habitat with Millie because I can't take the responsibility to take care of her. It is rough for me to just take care of myself.
10:20PM Text Tyler asking when he and Chandler will be here and he said about 5 or 6 tomorrow. I asked if he is flying or driving and he said "flying". I have checked several times and I can't find any flights into Orlando or Tampa for tomorrow from Clarksburg so I don't know how or where they are flying into. I suppose I will find out tomorrow when they get here. All he said is he asked me for my address which I had given before but I suppose he had not written it down but now he has it in his phone.

April 20, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
10:40AM Received a text from Tyler, they are in BWI airport waiting because they were late and Delta won't print their ticket to board the plane.
11:30AM Texted several times and they are trying to get their money back. I advised him to just get his money and go back home. We will hang out in July when I am back for a couple weeks. I asked him to get his money and then text me when he gets back home safely.
1:00PM Called Betty Moran because I had seen in the obituaries that our lawn keeper had died, David Shoemaker, he was only 36 years old. She told me that they had found his body in the river but nothing more. Didn't know if it were homicide or suicide. Also Bud's relative Glenn Lafferty had also died. She told me the neighbor had dropped by for a visit and wanted my telephone number but someone showed up at his house and he had to leave and forgot to get the number. I told her to give him my number because I assume he just wants some information about the warranty on the A/C furnace.
2:00PM Had a meatloaf sandwich for lunch.
4:15PM Just got a text from Tyler, he is back home. He said Chandler paid for the tickets and Chandler is getting a refund. I think the whole thing was poorly planned and something that should have had a little more planning. I suppose I am one to over plan but I am always looking to see what can go wrong when you are planning a trip. That is one of my problems, I seem to over plan everything and probably take some of the fun out of traveling. I am really disappointed but I will try to have some more time with Tyler when I am home this summer.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while. Told her that Billie (Arwilla Stiles Parrish) died on April 18, 2018.
7:50PM Called Millie to see how she is getting along. She said that she could not get out of bed. She said she was very dizzy and she could not support herself on her knees.

12:00PM Up and about, slept well, only woke once at 6am to go to bathroom and then right back to sleep. Took Bella outside, nice sunny day.
1:00PM Looked at the text that I received but it didn't make any sense. It originated from 304 282 0998 and came to me through the number 304 266 7568 and the message read "Hi Ceil Bill needs to answer his phone if he wants me to return his call". Dialed both numbers and the 7568 number got a voice mail of no one to answer the phone. The 0998 went to a voice mail with a message of a man's name so I left him a voice mail to call me. I also called Ceil and got no answer, maybe she can shed some light on it but I figure it is just one of those calls to annoy you.

I am going to WV for one reason only and that is to attend the Stiles Reunion in Grafton and I am not going to drag her and have to cater to her.

3:00PM Watching FOX News, Trump on giving NATO hell and said that the EU puts such a large tax on US cars that none sell and he says this will stop. News also continuous covering the Royal wedding of Prince Henry and Meghan Markle. Has rained over 3 inches of rain in the last 48 hours. 6:00PM Rain has stopped, had about 2 inches of rain in the Florida Room. Swept most of it out after it stopped raining.

4:00PM Thawed out a piece of beef and put it in the over with potatoes/onions/carrots. Should be out around 6 or 6:30pm.
5:00PM This must be the time that I started the weather station because it just corrected the rain fall for the last 48 hours to .52 inch rain, so 5pm must be the adjustment or reference time. The station says 7.70 inches for the week, and 8.70 inches for the month and since the station was not installed until April so the yearly rain fall for the year is the same as the month rain fall. Will keep watching and finally figure it out. Rained heavy for a short time earlier but is just down to a very light rain or drizzle.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while.
8:30PM Tried to call Millie, of course, no answer and it went to voicemail which is still full. I am not going to call again. Let her call me when she wants to talk. I would prefer it if she stopped calling all together. She is going to be a problem when I go home in July.

1:30PM Fixed myself some late lunch, eggs and steak, a Jimmie Dean dinner.
2:00PM Started to rain, raining hard so I checked to see if the piece of plastic I cut last night fits at the bottom of the Florida Room door. I hope the strip keeps the water out but I won't be able to find out until I get at least 2 to 3 inches of rain that will back up in the area between the Florida Room and the work shop.
3:00PM Stopped raining so didn't get enough rain to test the piece of plastic at the bottom of the door.

12:30PM Called Express Script and it seems my prescription for my insulin pens had not been delivered. I told them that I had not gotten it and she said that was the reason they were calling to make sure the Non Delivery was correct. She said to wait until May 26 and if the insulin had not been delivered I was to call Express Script and they would send a new prescription. 12:45PM Eric text and said that his mother had let Eva's dog out when she left. The dog killed two of Eric's chickens. Of course, if it were me the dog would be gone. Take it to the pound or make Seth take the dog back to James' and keep it there. Once a dog has killed a chicken it will do anything to get to the others. He should make the boys and his mother replace his chickens. Eric should have never let Seth bring the dog to his house in the first place. 1:00PM Tried to take Bella outside and she does not want to go. She will let me know when she wants to go out. I think all she wanted was a treat. Watching FOX News.
2:00PM Watching a movie with Melissa McCathy "Spy" of course, a comedy.
2:20PM Cell rang and it said it was Millie but when I answered there was no one there. Called her back and, of course, I got her voice mail. The incoming call didn't even register on my cell call log. Weird.

7:10PM Just came out of Harvey's Grocery Store. Spent $165.00. A lot of it is frozen and just to restock, got some more frozen shrimp for Eric and I when he comes down if he wants it. Had on sale 2 for price of 1. Called Barb and talked to her from the car as I came back from the store. Looked at the gas station on my way back and gas is $2.99.9 per gallon.

There was a note on the door letting everyone know that there are sand bags available and where to get them at most fire stations in Lakeland and Polk County.
12:15PM President Trump just finished making the announcement that the US has backed out of the summit with North Korea. In my opinion little rocket man will never come to a summit because if he leaves the county, there may be a coup. Of course, the Dems are having a party celebrating Trump's failure, at least, that is what Pelosi is calling it. That ugly --.
4:00PM Text on and off with Eric.

4:30PM Fixed myself a steak with raw onions.
6:00PM Got some news today. It seems a very old acquittance is not well and may not be with us long. It appears to be terminal. Don't know whether to be happy or cry, she will be suffering a lot. I wonder if anyone else has been told? She hasn't mentioned it on any of her calls over her cell phone. It's a shame she doesn't use her computer to get on line, I would know a lot more. I wonder if the illness will exacerbated the paranoia
11:00PM Watching TV, the movie "Oliver Twist" pretty good movie.

May 27, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
Note:There is a gadget on line that lets you get any cell phone number in a location if you know any cell phone number that makes calls from the same cell tower. Then all you have to do is put in a code and dial the number you want to listen to and it connects you and you can monitor that cell phone. It has been difficult in the past to do this but with this new gadget it will make the finding of numbers easier when someone changes their number. It is very pricey but I think it was worth every penny. I know back in the days when you had to hard wire to monitor a telephone like I did before cell phones.

9:00AM Up and about, overcast and light wind this morning. Couldn't figure out why Bella was so jumpy, thought it might be the thunder during the night, then noticed that she was out of water, so I filled up her water and she was OK. Will have to watch her water a little closer. If I don't maybe she will go on strike and not love me anymore.
12:00PM Had a light lunch, had some cornbread that I had baked and a few strips of bacon w/glass of orange juice.
1:00PM Walgreen's called and reminded me of a prescription that was due and needed picked up. Will go by on Tuesday when I go to Watson Clinic for my semi annual check up. I know she will want a report on my sex life. I think she must be making a survey on old men, lol, no problem here.
2:30PM Eric called and he was very upset, someone is reporting to the EX that I am making remarks about her on my blog and now she is raising hell with him and said she is going to call the police and have Johnathan kicked out of the house. Eric said he doesn't have anywhere to go except back to WV if she keeps it up. I am sorry but it is probably her -- sister or sister in law that is reading my blog and reporting it to her.
3:00PM Forgot I had picked up a power ball the other day while at the store and thought I would see if I won my million dollars. Well, it wasn't a million. ? Wouldn't want anyone to find out that I gamble. I shouldn't gamble, LOL. Wonder how I would look in something like this?
4:00PM Having some chili for supper. Still no sun but temperature is nice, 78 degrees but the humidity is 92%. President Trump and I have something in common, we are both great leaders and good conservatives. I am going to register to vote so I can help put a good conservative in the Senate from Florida.

8:00AM Up and about, put both flags out for Memorial Day. Steve asked me yesterday if he could borrow my Navy flag because he wants to take pictures of US flag, Navy flag, Army flag, Air force flag, and Marine flag. He didn't say what it was for but we will see.
9:00PM Beautiful day, hot and windy but the sun is shinning. Back to bed. Nothing to stay up for.
11:30AM Back up. Took Bella outside. She just doesn't like it outside because of the heat.
12:30PM Gave Bella a treat and she drank a bunch of water and she threw up on the floor. I hope she isn't sick. Have a vet appointment on Monday June 4th and have her checked out and get her shots and to be groomed. It may be she just to hot with all the fur she has now.
3:00PM Decided to have a few pork skins and glass of beer. Taste pretty good. Going to have steak for supper.

Please read and enjoy my blog, but remember if you read, embellish and repeat your version, you won't be hurting me in any way you will making someone's life miserable. If you have something to say to me please feel free to Message me on FB or send me an email and tell me what you think of me, are you a coward? If you don't agree or like my politcal views try to change my mind. I love to tell Liberals how misguided they are. email cn8ff@aol.com

6:00PM Fixed steak for supper, had steak and sliced tomatoes. Great meal.

My A1C has dropped to 8.1 from 9.1 that it was the last time I went to the clinic. The clinic is going to set me up with a referral to a podiatrist for checking my feet and cutting my toe nails. The VA butchered up my toes the last time I went. Got an email which I read while in the clinic that Express Script is re sending my insulin that was lost somewhere in transit and did not arrive. Got new appoints for lab Sept 11,2018 2PM and doctor's appointment on Sept 18, 2018 at 2PM.

3:30PM Don't know what happened. Was listening to the rain and watching TV and just woke up. Must have just dozed off because the TV and my computer had both gone to sleep, so I know I was out for at least an hour. Just one of those lazy sleepy days.
4:00PM Watching Judge Judy.
5:00PM "The Five" is on but seems all they can talk about is what Roseann had to say. There is a difference between Whites that are prejudice and Blacks that are prejudice, Whites fear and don't trust Blacks but Blacks hate whites. 7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a short time.

I know someone is reading my blog and passing on things I am saying to an individual that gets very upset about my remarks and takes it out on people around them that have nothing to do with me or my blog. I pity them for remarks made to them, nothing is their fault. The fault lies in the one that is trying to stir up trouble. If anyone does not like what I say on my blog have the backbone to confront me. You have my email and my cell phone number. Saying that, I will say only that if anyone really wants to know the real story please to: Read This and listen to the recordings. That's how it began in September 2013

---

5:00PM Fixed Chicken Alfredo for supper.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while. Still have water getting into my Florida Room. I am going to have to do something to stop the water from coming under the door.
8:00PM Watching "Tucker Carlson" Seems that everyone is talking about nothing else but what Roseanne said, and then what all these other stupid women are saying.
8:30PM Finished vacuuming the water up in the Florida Room. I got about 2 gallons of water. That really isn't very much water when spread out over a floor.
11:00PM Watching Shannon Bream.

June 1, 2018
I was told that this -- is tracking me. With someone like this I don't need any more enemies. LOL

---

1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Just a month and will be getting ready to go to WV.
9:30AM Received a call from Express Script and it went to voice mail. When I listened to the voice mail Express Script gave me a number to call 1 844 225 2448 but when I call the number it said it was not a working number.
1:00PM Called the number I have listed for Express Script and talked to them about why they called and they had no record of the number that I was given and why they called. Looks like it could be one of those robo or scam calls using a new technique.
2:00PM Fixing myself something to eat for breakfast/lunch. Watching FOX news, they are talking about the visit from North Korea with number two army. Looks at the counter and there were several hits on my blog last night just before midnight. Looks like someone is reading my blog. Can't see why,it is very boring unless you are looking for some dirt you can use to stir up shit.
3:00PM Thunder and lightening and rain on and off all afternoon.
4:00PM Just watching some TV and took my vacuum cleaner apart and cleaned it. At first I could get it to come open but finally made it and cleaned it.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while, neither of us are doing anything. Barb got her hair fixed today.
8:00PM Watching "Tucker Carlson"
8:33PM Millie called, I put Tucker on pause and we talked for about 40 minutes. Millie asked me to put up something on FB about class reunions being held in conjunction with the Alumni Reunion on July 21, 2018. 8:50PM Back to watching Tucker.
10:00PM Put the inquiry up on FB about the class reunions on July 21, 2018. Maybe I will get some response back. It is just to big a job for Millie to do anymore without help.
11:00PM Watching Shannon Bream, some of the best news on TV at the end of the day.

June 2, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
12:00PM Up and about, Bella doesn't want to go outside, she stayed in bed, didn't even come out of the bedroom.
1:00PM Fixed me something to eat. I had one of those Jimmy Dean steak and eggs.
2:00PM Took Bella outside and she ran around in the grass for a while. Checked to see if there are any more cucumbers. Didn't find any more cucumbers and the leaves are getting yellow spots. Lots of yellow blooms and little cucumbers but I don't know if the vines will last long enough for the cucumbers to mature.
3:00PM Watching a western movie about a cattle drive, "Canyon River". Temperature 91 degrees Humidity 55%, light breeze 4-6 mph with clouds.
7:10PM Barb called, I was dragging my feet and got interested in a movie and didn't call at 7pm. We talked for a while.
8:00PM Watching Watter's World.
9:00PM Watching an old movie and working in research. I have come to the conclusion that Levi C. Stiles b. 1817 is the --son of William Stiles and not his son Stephen althoughStephen is listed as Levi's father on his death certificate. I think his wife or one of his children just gave them the wrong name for his father since his father died in 1852 nearly 50 years before Levi's death. Stephen was 17 years old than Levi was born and died 21 years before Levi thus the confusion of Levi's father and mother's name.

June 3, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, hot 93 degrees sunny with clouds. Light wind 5-6 mph. Another day for doing nothing.
1:00PM Only thing I have had to eat is an Luigi's Real Italian Ice. Just don't feel like doing anything. Just sitting watching TV. Not watching any news today. Just don't want to lesson to any of all that bull shit today. Nothing going on except just hashing everything over that they have been talking about all week.
3:00PM Watching the movie "Stage Coach".
4:00PM Text with Eric and he said he and Josh were going to the eye doctor for examine tomorrow. I know Eric has needed glasses for reading for a while. He has used mine a couple times while he was here. I think he will probably need glasses for a slight astigmatism and far sighted and bifocals for reading. He is about the same age as I when I started wearing trifocals.
7:00PM Called Barb, and we talked for several minutes.
9:00PM Watching movie "Cimarron"

June 4, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
8:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside and collected a stool sample to take to the Vet this morning.
8:45AM Dropped Bella off at the Vet. She will get her shots and a general check up and will be groomed while she is there. She really needed to be groomed. Her hair was driving her crazy due to the heat and wasn't doing much for me either.
9:00AM Back home and watching the news. Supreme Court ruled against the gay couple in the cake baking case in Colorado. The baker won. You don't have to bake a cake for everyone.
12:00PM Frozen dinner for lunch.

9:00AM Must have been really tired when I went to bed. I slept straight through to 9am without waking. Woke up and it was pouring down the rain.

She doesn't have to worry, I won't be a friend to Barb on FB because I don't want to upset her because I won't run my FB to satisfy Wendy and her very extreme liberal views and hate for Trump.

I told her about Wendy warning me if I wanted to be friends with Barb to send her a request to be friends but I could not put anything on my FB page that would upset Barb. I won't befriend Barb because I am not vindictive like Wendy. Wendy is her grandmother, "The Madam" through and through. I should know very well about vindictive women.

9:30PM Tried to call Millie again, and still no answer. Will have to wait until she decides to call me again. She knows that I talk to Barb at 7pm every night, so why would she call me twice within 15 minutes just after 7pm.

She can't depend on Dana to going or do anything for her since she is off for the summer and is gone most of the time to their camp in Pennsylvania.
It is going to get to the point that Barb will not be able to go unless someone goes with her. She says that it is getting more difficult for her to drive in heavy traffic, such as around the malls or if it is raining.

They said that I could then make an appointment to take the prescription for glasses to Tampa VA at the University and then they would make my glasses. This looks to me to be a run around to get glasses made. I may just make an appointment through Watson Clinic to have my eyes examined and then take the prescription to Tampa VA. Will have to see.
3:30PM Leaving for the DMV to get my driver license. 4:30PM Got my Florida driver license and registered to vote.

Temperature 97 degrees.

3:15PM Called Millie and asked if she would know who it is for the class of 1954. It used to be Walter Warth but Walter died a few years ago.
4:00PM Sent out an inquiry on Alumni FB page to see if I could find out about 1954 class.
5:00PM The package with the Insulin came and while I was out was talking to Carlos and inquired if he would know of anyone that would like to clean my house on a monthly basis. I think I can keep it up and get a good cleaning once a month. If she would work out and we could come to some sort of an agreement I would have her come possibly once a week.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while, she was telling me how bad the flooding is, her road was washed out but she can still get through, she has a 4W drive and it is high so she didn't have any problem getting in. She said she will have to call the county because her access road is a county road. She also told me about the wreck at Rt50/SR98 where two people were killed. It was Michael Moore, 48, and his daughter, Braylie Moore, 17, both of Shinnston. I know a Michael Moore which is Betty Moran's step son in law. Will have to call Betty and find out unless I can get the information from the obituary.
9:00PM Watching FOX news and all anyone has to talk about is how terrible Trump is and how they are treating the children. I don't give a damn about these kids, their parents and other adults drug them across Mexico just to try to drag them across the border thinking that they can stay. Just put them all back on a bus and take them back to the border and kick them out. Build a wall big enough and high enough to keep the blood sucking people out of our country. This cover of Trump and the little girl is a complete lie and since I voted for Trump I hate kids, and I am a Nazi.

June 23, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.

June 24, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
4:00AM Stayed up and worked some stations operating Field Day. 20 meters was open all night so FD should have been very good. Last night 20 was open east of the Mississippi and later moved to to the west. About 3am 20 shifted back to the north east and was open from Maine to as far west as IA. Going to bed.
6:16AM Forgot to close the shades on the window over the radios and when the sun came up it shined in my eyes and woke me up. Went to bathroom, closed the shades and went back to bed.
12:00PM Back up and about, took Bella outside.

3:00PM Temperature hit 100 degrees, the alarm went off on my weather station.
5:00PM Heated up some the spaghetti from a couple days ago, still very good. Watching a Audie Murphy movie.
7:00PM Called Barb, and accidentally got around to politics and of course Barb had to tell me about how much Trump lies about everything. I just wish my sister wouldn't believe what the liberals feed her. Of course, she only watches national news, ABC, NBC, CBS and we conservatives know how the national news leans. Just like they jumped on the Time Magazine and the little girl. I watch NBC news everyday so I know what and how they say it. All of these liberals just can't get over Hillary's defeat. I have lived through many presidents and some did things I did not like but I didn't spend my days and night crying about and all of them were my president and I supported them and I didn't like what they did I voted against them and their follows the next election. Remember Trump is your president so help him as much as possible and if you don't like him or his party, vote them out at the next election.
9:00PM Raining on and off all evening. Temperature is now 74 degrees.

9:20AM Wells Fargo says they can't transfer money to a Bank Of America and sent me to the Bank of America bank and they told me Bank of America could not accept cash on an account that I am not on directly and advised me to go back to Wells Fargo. Went back to the Wells Fargo and we settled to send a cash transfer money order and it cost me an extra $25 to send but they would quarantine that the money would be there by the end of the work day.
10:25AM Left the Wells Fargo and text Tyler to start watching his account and it would be there by 5PM.
10:32AM Tyler text that the money was in his account. Thank goodness.
11:00AM Went to McDonald's and had breakfast.
11:30AM Went to grocery store to pick up a few things.

4:00PM Looked out the window and there was Carlos' daughter was running around the neighborhood in a very skimppy bikini. Of course, I enjoyed watching her running around have naked.
5:00PM Went out to bring the recycle container in and it had not been emptied. I had put a very small metal grill pieces in it so that could have been why they did not take it. This is the second time and there was no reason the last time. I just took it in and put it back out the next week and they took it.
5:25PM Called Betty Jean and we talked for a while. She seems to be getting along well.
7:00PM Was going to call Barb and went to the bedroom to get the house phone and Barb called. We talked for a short time, she said Wendy was there so we didn't talk long.
9:00PM Going back and forth to the news and then other channels because I didn't want to see all of the repeats on Trumps rally tonight.

June 26, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside.
12:00PM Had glass of orange juice.
1:00PM Temperature is 98 degree and very sunny. Had some lunch
3:25PM Called Lakeland Waste collection and told the young lady (did not catch her name) that my recycle was not picked up on Monday and she asked my address and she told me that their records show that my recycle was picked up. I informed that it was not because I had just brought back in and it had not been emptied. She first asked if I was sure I had it at by 7am on Monday and I told her I had put it out around 2:30am at the street with six other containers (my neighbors) and then she said she checked and the GPS said my container had been picked up at 7:45am and I told it had not been picked up. She became very upset and said that my recycle had a sensor in it and it showed that it had been turned up and dumped. I assure her it had not and she said their system did not fail and it indicated that my recycle container had been had been turned up and dumped. She was very rude. If this happens again I will not talk to her I will call her supervisor. I told her it did not have to picked up today but I would put it out again on Sunday. 4:10PM Talked to Joe Bauer at State Farm about insurance on the Honda and he is going to send me a quote by email now or in August and he said I could bet State Farm for about $319.00 every six months. If that is true I will probably change to State Farm from Progressive at the end of August.
4:30PM Noticed that the A/C isn't working correctly.
5:00PM The temperature is up to 87 degrees in the house and the A/C isn't putting out any cold air. Talking to Sam on the radio and he recommended Payne A/C so I called them and talked to Monty 863 686 6163 and they are sending out a technician.
5:50PM Technician arrived. He checked the A/C and he said it had a bad starting capacitor ($125.00) plus labor, around $200.00) He said that the compressor was not starting every time, sounds normal, have had this problem with other A/C units.
7:00PM The MH is back to nice and cool. Called Barb and she and Wendy had just finished supper. We talked for a short time.
8:00PM Millie called and and I told her about everything that is going on.
9:15PM Carlos just dropped by and brought me a Puerto Rico bear, pretty good beer. He wouldn't come in, he said he is waiting for someone to come home and while we were talking someone pulled in in his red pickup. Watching Tucker Carlson that I recorded and now catching up.

June 27, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, the right of way has been mowed. I will try late today to see if I can get my grass mowed. Will see what I feel like just before dark. A/C has been working great since the repairman was here yesterday. Let's hope it keeps working for quite a while so I don't have to worry about it.
12:00PM Carlos is sitting outside in his carport. He looks like he is comfortable. I sure don't want to sit out in the heat but I assume Carlos must like the hot weather.
5:25PM Betty Moran called and said they had been hit by a strong wind or a tornado and the tree was down at my old house. She didn't know exactly which one or how bad. She was very excited and I talked to for a while until she calmed down. I think she called me by mistake, I think she was calling her daughter Barbara and called me by mistake.
5:45PM Called Barb and told her what had happened and to see if she had any bad winds or storms at her house and she said that all she had was a lot of rain.
5:50PM Called Eric and let him know what is going on.
7:00PM Barb called back and said she had not seen anything on the local news about any damage in Bridgeport.
7:30PM Went out and got the lawnmower out and mowed the side of the MH but did not trim or in the back. Carlos came by and we talked for a while and he came in and we talked. 9:30PM Dave Hayes put up some pictures on FB about the damage at he house in Bridgeport, 170 Pennsylvania Ave. It appears the Golden Maple that I planted in 1978 split and one side of the tree fell on the garage. Couldn't see in the picture how much damage there was to the house. Possibly just the gutters around the garage.
10:00PM Sent pictures to Eric, and Tyler.

June 28, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
2:00AM Found a video of storm damage yesterday in Bridgeport. Looks like the electric pole beside Naomi's house on Cherry Street was blown down in the driveway of the house just above my old house and the house on the upper side of Cherry had a fire. Looks to me to be a generator beside the house caught on fire.

10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, looks like we might be getting some more rain.
12:12PM Called Betty Moran to see how things were in Bridgeport. She said that the fire was a washer/dryer that caught on fire in the house on Cherry Street. She also said that Naomi had some electrical damage in her bathroom in the basement. Looks like the storm caused an electrical surge or it was lightening and it ran into the two houses and blew things up. She also told me that the wind took the top out of the pine tree and she thinks they are going to dig it out and take it down. She said that the city was there cutting up and cleaning up the trees and debris I will have to go by and take some pictures while I am home. (ha ha, I should say, while I am back in Bridgeport, it isn't home anymore.)
1:00PM Called Barb and told her what I had seen and what Betty had told me. Barb said that there was an article in the newspaper this morning.
1:30PM We had a about 30 minutes of rain and it rained .42 inches in a short time.
2:00PM Some very loud boom, boom, boom music coming from Carlos' MH. It has to be his daughter and the boy that is there play the music very loud but all I her is the loud lower drums. It is actually vibrating my windows. I will be glad to see the kids leave and the noise will be gone also. It isn't Carlos fault, I know how teenage kids can be. He probably is glad that they take the noise outside so he can't hear as much.
4:00PM Called Ruby Casto and we talked about the storm and she said that Barbara Hamilton told her that there were a couple trees down on Center Street also.
7:00PM Barb called on the house phone while I was in the bathroom and we talked for a little while. Nothing much going on.
9:25PM Millie called and she was telling me that Judy Cunningham had called her and asked her to come to her house for a party next week. She also had invited me but, of course, I can't drive over 900miles for a party.

June 29, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. Took Bella outside before bed and went to the PO to mail a letter and a check for my dues to NCVA. There was a card from Ceil with a $25.00 gift card from Walmart.
11:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, cloudy overcast day, with some light rain.
12:00PM Had some cereal for lunch, not very hungry.
1:00PM Watching President Trump making a speech and was a little bored so thought I would post on Facebook about how CNN vs FOX on the coverage of the speech. Leah Luthen took offense with her Liberal views and I carried it on just to see how far she would go with her outrage. She did not disappoint me. Like all liberals she couldn't stick to the subject when they have no reason in their answers and just want to yell and use four letter words to express themselves. I egged her on for a while and when she just started using four letter words I told her I was finished.
4:00PM Watching Judge Judy.
5:00PM Watching "The Five".
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while.
9:00PM Seems Leah Louthen has taken offense with my story I put on Facebook about "Squatters". She accused me of be a bigot and racist. I made the remark that this is one of the ways the muslims used to obtain property in Flint, MI until 2014. She is such a hard head liberal who has drunk the Hillary koolaid. No way to change her mind. We went back and forth for a couple hours.
10:00PM Watching Ingraham on FOX. Took Bella outside but she didn't do anything.
11:00PM Watching Sharron Bream on FOX, just got tired of Leah on FB.

12:00PM Had some lunch and took Bella outside. It is raining lightly but she wanted to go out.
1:30PM Called Sue Nay and we talked for a while, her phone was acting up and very noisy but we managed. I told her when I was coming to WV and I would call and go see her and John. If I don't go see all my old friends I may never see them again. I don't know how I will be in another year and may not be able to travel. I believe that this may be the last time I will get to see Barb. She is 88 now and she may live for quite a while but I figure that she will probably be in a home in Ohio or living with Wendy.
4:00PM Had a ham sandwich and some mashed potatoes. Have drunk all of my milk and orange juice so will have to go to the story tomorrow and pick up a little something to tide me over until next Tuesday when I leave. My retirement is in the bank but probably the Social Security won't be in the mail until Tuesday or Wednesday.

2:00PM Eric and I both took time and paid all of our bills on line.
3:00PM Eric decided to go home and stop at the Jiffy Lube in North Lakeland and get his oil changed. I had a coupon to get $20 off on a lube at Jiffy Lube.
5:00PM Called Eric and he said it cost him $77 for his oil change. They told him that the Jiffy Lube that he went to in Lakeland did not recognize the coupon that I had gotten in the mail. Watching "The Five".

Dana was not there yet and I told her to have Dana call me no matter what time it was when she gets there. I don't expect Dana to show up until probably around midnight or even tomorrow morning.
10:44PM Barb called and said Dana is there. I hope she feels better tomorrow. I am afraid that this may be just the beginning of her health starting to decline.
11:00PM Text Wendy and let her know what is going on.

July 5, 2018

July 6, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
7:30AM Up and about, for some reason I just woke up and was not sleepy.
8:00AM Turned on TV and started watching "Fox and Friends". Seems all they can talk about is the women on the Statue of Liberty and the kids in the cave in Tia land. Not say much about the kids on the border for a few days. They must be getting them back with their parents. Of course, they had to run the speech of Trump last night.
10:00AM Had some cereal, raisin brand w/banana for breakfast.
12:00PM Cleaned water out of Florida Room, had about an inch. Swept most of it out and then used the shop vac for the rest. Check to see if I could figure out why, all of a sudden in two days had water in the Florida room. I think the down spout had come out of the drainage pipe and that could have been the reason there was so much water on the concrete between the Florida room and the work shop. Checked, there was no water in the work shop. Brought the two coolers from the work shop storage into the Florida room. Also got out the gasoline container so I can pick up some gas for the lawnmower when I go to fill up my tank before I start back to WV.
3:00PM Checked with the numbers I have listed to see where I can get a few sandbags. After a couple calls found out I will have to go to Mulberry, about 13 miles south of here to get sandbags and sand. The Fire and Rescue don't have sandbags anymore, you have to go the Highway Maintenance department to get them.
4:15PM Tried calling Vic WV8CC but all I got was an answering machine.
4:20PM Called Jim Martin and his wife, Rose answered the phone. Had a very bad echo on the phone, had to hang up and call back twice before I got rid of the echo. Jim and I talked for a while, he said he got the radio working that I gave him before leaving WV and he said he has been talking to a few guys on 80 meters. We also talked a little about Field Day and he said that the moved the location to Liberty High School area because no one is keeping the area on Lowndes High cleaned up and the grass has not been mowed, it is just growing up and not usable without a lot of work.
5:30PM Watching "The Five", had it recorded and will run through it and skip all of the commercials.
6:30PM Starting to get dark and looks like we age going to get a little rain. Hear thunder with some lightening in the NE.
6:45PM Looking at the Tampa Radar and it shows storms approaching from the NW toward Lakeland area.
6:50PM Barb called from her cell, she is in PA with Dana and she said she is feeling better and is going to Walmart with Dana.
9:20PM Millie called and we talked for a while. I think I am going to have trouble with Millie when I go back to WV. She is making plans for me to be around all the time I am home. I told her there are places I have to go to visit friends and she suggested that she go with me. I am not going to cater to her while I am there. I will be reasonable but she will be pissed because I am going to be gone somewhere most of the time.
10:00PM I have water in Florida room again from the rain tonight, about 1.5 inches of rain. Checked and it is seeping in around the door. I think maybe I can take plastic and use duct tape and seal around the door while I am gone.

July 7, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
11:00AM Up and about, looks like it is going to be a nice day.

6:00PM Had a large salad with chicken. Very good salad.

She said that she will call the doctor the first thing in the morning and talk to him and then make a decision.
11:00PM Barb went to bed and I watched "Shannon Bream" and then took my Meds, injection, and went to bed.

July 20, 2018

9:45AM Barb called and left a voicemail so I called her back. They have her doped up and prepping her to go for some tests on her heart. I called her back and we talked for a short time.
10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside. Someone is using a chainsaw up on the hill somewhere. Don't know or can't see anyone out and around. It is very loud but can't tell exactly where it is coming from. It seems to be coming from beyond Dana's but it may just be echos off of the hill or buildings.
11:15AM Called Carlos and told him I was going to have to stay for another week because of Barb in hospital and asked if he could get someone to cut my grass. He said he and Steve would take care of it and not to worry. I told him that I would bring him and Steve some of this good WV food when I come back to Lakeland.
11:30AM Called Ceil and caught her at the bank and she said she would call me back this evening.
3:00PM Leaving for Millie's. Got a call from Dana and told her to call her mother after dinner time.
3:15PM Called and talked to Barb, she said she was in bed and could not move because she had to stay still for several hours due to the heart cauterization.

July 21, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
9:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside.
11:00AM Leaving for Millie's to pick her and some deserts up for the lunch for the Class of 1953 at Jimmie's in Shinnston.
12:00PM Picked up Randall with Millie and arrived at Jimmie's.
2:00PM Had a great meal, baked steak, mashed potatoes, green beans and Millie had brought 5 different deserts.
4:00PM Took Randall and Millie home and going to UHC to see Barb.
5:00PM Barb said the doctor had come in earlier and said that they were going to send her home but didn't say when. They served her supper while I was there.
7:00PM Left for the farm and went to the store to pick up a few things.
8:00PM Kit called and we talked for a while, I had to talk to someone about how Wendy is acting. Wendy hates me so much that she will not come to Barb's and said she wouldn't come while I was here because I am sleeping in her bedroom. I thought that this is Barb's house and it is Barb's choice where people sleep. I told Wendy I would put on clean sheets for her and move to the other bedroom. I don't want to inconvenience her. She asked when I was leaving and I said that I would stay another week if Barb wants or needs me to stay. I said that I expect to stay to next Monday July 30th and she said, then I will come on Tuesday July 31st. If you would like to read what Wendy thinks of me just go the February 7, 2018 note. She attacked a friend of mine for his political views and to separate them the only thing I could do was "unfriend" one or the other and I chose my friend of 65years over her. She is as near a socialist that I know. Also I wonder if "persons with developmental disabilities" can plan and carry out the plans.
8:30PM Called Jennie and thanked her for taking flowers to Barb in the hospital. I brought the flowers and put them in water.
9:00PM Watching TV.

July 22, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, going to bed.
8:30AM Up and about, put Bella outside.
9:10AM Called Barb to see what the doctor was going to do and she told me he had been in and said that she is going to be released but he had to do something before she can come home. I told her to call me on the house phone because don't have a good signal on my cell this morning.
10:00AM Kit called and while we were talking Jessie and his daughter dropped by. He said he had cut the grass last night and came back this morning to spray weed be gone. He didn't know Barb was in the hospital. Kit said she would call me back later today.
2:00PM Talked to Barb and she had no idea when she was being released, so I told her to call me and I would come and get her.
2:50PM Barb called and said she was being release and for me to come and pick her up
3:35PM Arrived at UHC and called Barb and asked her to have the nurse to bring her down to the front door.
3:50PM The nurse brought to the car and we started home.
4:30PM Arrived back home and Barb is lying on the couch. She has a monitor on and has to go back to UHC and see the doctor on Wednesday at 3pm.
5:00PM Listen to Barb talk to Wendy and it appears now that I have agreed to leave on Tuesday Wendy doesn't know when she is coming. It appears to me that she is just trying to cause problems for me. I have never been involved with a so self absorbed, self centered individual in my life.
5:30PM Now it looks like Wendy is not coming until Barb has to go back to see Doctor Reddy but she won't know when she has an appointment with Doctor Reddy until she returns the monitor on Wednesday. Barb was talking about getting someone to come in and stay with her after I leave and until she has to see her doctor which could be next week depending on what they find on the monitor when she returns it, so I may be staying depending when and if "god" shows up. Of course, that is god with a small "g". Wendy wants to be here to go to the doctor with Barb. If she gives Doctor Reddy a bunch of shit he may not let her stay in the exam room with he and Barb.
7:00PM Wendy called and while she and Barb were talking she wanted to talk to me. She apologized for all of the back and forth and not making any decision about when she was coming. Also she and Kit must have had it out because she was pointing to Kit that all of this controversy was Kit's fault.
7:30PM Kit called and she was less aggressive also so it is finally settled, I am stay until July 30th and Wendy may be here on Sunday or Monday. I know she will bite her tongue and not say anything to me especially in front of Barb. I think Barb wants me to stay this week rather to depend on Wendy or Dana.
8:00PM I am planning to go to Morgantown tomorrow afternoon and Kaylee is coming and staying with Barb while I am gone. I may go again one day next week for an afternoon when Kaylee or Jenny can stay with Barb.

July 23, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, in bed.
10:15AM Up and about and took Bella outside. Taking shower getting ready to go to visit Tyler and Troy in Morgantown.
11:00AM Kelsie Parsons came to stay with Barb while I am gone.
1:00PM Going to Tyler's in Morgantown.
3:00PM Troy came over to Tyler's and had been to Kroger's to get Shrimp and pasta for Shrimp Alfredo. Tyler is cooking.
5:00PM We had a very good dinner.
6:30PM Heading back to Barb's.
7:57PM Arrived at Barb's, there was no one there with her. Kelsie was there earlier and then Jake came and later Jenny and her mother came up. They had left just before I got there. I had called Barb and told her I was on my way.
9:00PM Checked my email and Express Scripts had sent me an email that they had shipped my insulin pens. I called and they said that they could not stop the shipment. It was not to be sent until after August 1st. I called Carlos and asked if he could check tomorrow and if the package comes by UPS then he could put it in the refrigerator. I tried to call Steve and it went to his voice mail so I will call tomorrow and check them. If I can't get Steve or Carlos to pick up the insulin I will call late in the afternoon and see if someone at the office would check on it. If they don't get it I will just have to make do with what I already have on hand.
9:15PM Dana called and said she would be here to take Barb to her doctor appointment on Thursday at 10:30am. She must have heard that Wendy thinks she should get off her ass and take care of her mother even though Wendy said that she wanted to be with her mother when she saw the doctor because she wanted to make sure the doctor was doing what he was suppose to do for Barb. Looks like being here on Thursday is not convenient to her schedule.

July 24, 2018
1:00PM Meds, injection, to bed.
8:15AM Awake but still a little sleepy so turned on TV and went back to sleep.
10:10AM Up and about, took Bella outside. Barb up watching TV. She had already gone to get the newspaper. She says she has to walk so I won't stop her if she wants to walk. I will just have to keep an eye on her.
11:00AM Had a couple pieces of toast and a cup of coffee. Just sitting relaxing and watching TV with Barb. Tried to call Steve on the house phone and on the cell but no answer, will try later this afternoon after 5pm and maybe will catch Steve or his wife at home.
3:32PM Called Carlos and asked if he would get my UPS package and put the insulin in my refrigerator and he said he would. I really hope so. I called Express Script and told them of the situation with the UPS deliver and again they said that were sorry but the insulin was on auto fill, so I removed the insulin from the auto fill system so this won't happen again. The girl told me that she had received a notification of deliver of the package by UPS at 3:27pm.
7:30PM Tried to call Steve again and still no answer.
10:30PM Had a beef sandwich and some potato salad. Carlos said he would call me but no call as of yet.
11:00PM Barb to bed and I am watching FOX before going to bed.

July 25, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, in bed.
8:15AM Heard cell phone say I had a text from Carlos, didn't look at it, figured it was Carlos telling me he picked up my UPS package.
9:45AM Up and about, let Bella outside. Read Carlos text and he said it was not there.
10:15AM Received a text from Steve that he had gotten my UPS package. Text him back and asked that he take it out of the package and put my insulin in the refrigerator.
10:20AM Text Carlos telling him Steve had my package.
11:00AM Steve text back he had taken it out of the package and put it in his refrigerator. Great. I text both of them and thanked them and told them "thank God for good neighbors".
1:00PM Dana came by for a few minutes and then went home to do laundry. She did not volunteer to take Barb to the hospital to remove the monitor. She did say she would be here tomorrow morning to take Barb to the doctor.
1:15PM Wendy called and talked to Barb and said she would be here Monday. I am planning to leave before she gets here and going to Tyler's to stay the night before I go back to Florida.

Note: I just can't understand either of these girls. Their life is more important than their mother's. Being here I didn't hesitate for a minute to cancel everything I was doing just to make sure Barb was OK and I will stay to that time when it becomes convenient to them to take care of their mother. Barb thinks that the only thing these two have any interest in, is sell the farm and get the money and put her in a nursing home. I really hope that this is not the case, for Barb and the two girls.

3:00PM Took Barb to UHC and they removed the monitor and pads and sent her back home. Arrived back home around 4pm.
6:00PM Barb prepared the meat and I did the rest and prepared spaghetti for supper. Barb called Dana and she came and ate and then went back home. Dana is supposed to take Barb to see Dr Reddy tomorrow morning at 10:39am.
9:00PM Barb and I watched TV
11:00 Barb went to bed and I watched Shannon Bream.

1:00PM Stopped by ACE Hardware and picked up some caulking compound. Called Bev to make sure she was home.
1:30PM Arrived at Bev's and we talked for a while when her son Joey came by.
4:50PM Left Bev's and tried to call Millie, no answer, and dropped by Millie's but no body was home.
5:00PM Back at Barb's, watching evening news. Dana not here she went home as soon as she dropped Barb off. Barb says the doctor told her to go back to doing things a normal and gave her an appointment for next Thursday. When Wendy finds out she may or may not come on Monday. I know if she is here for Barb's doctor's appointment she will go back home immediately after the appointment. All she wants to do is just raise hell with Dr. Reddy. She thinks she knows just what the doctor should do. I feel that anything short of a pace maker or something similar Barb will not improve.
6:00PM Fixed myself a large salad for supper.
7:00PM Millie called and I told her that I had stopped by her house and asked if she wanted to go to Jimmie's tomorrow night for a Rosie.

11:00AM Had a peace of bread and a cup of coffee.
12:15PM Barb back home. Wendy called and she said she would be here on Tuesday but she was leaving after Barb goes to the doctor on Thursday. She says she had important obligations to take care of in OH. I figured she would leave as soon as she could regardless how Barb is. I can't stay any longer I have to be back in Lakeland by Friday August 4th because I have a VA doctor's appointment. I am going to Morgantown and stay with Tyler on Monday night and leaving on Tuesday and won't get home until Thursday taking two days to get there. Coming up from FL and driving straight through almost was to much for me. I am still suffering from pains in my left arm and shoulder. It will finally get better.
4:30PM Went and picked up Millie and we went to Jimmie's for supper, I had a Rosie and Millie had a steak sandwich.
7:00PM Went back to Millie's, she insisted that I stay late.

August 1, 2018
9:00AM Up and about, loaded the car took Bella outside and left for home. Had breakfast at McDonald's in Richburg.

Note: Most of the trip went very well until I decided to go around Orlando and hit some very heavy rain and ended up taking the toll road and hitting I4 about 40 miles east of Lakeland. Got home at 7:30PM and let everyone that I had arrived home OK.

7:30PM Checked the A/C and it was not on so checked it out and resent the humidity and it worked very well. Set the temperature and now it is OK. Turned on the water and turned on the electric to the hot water tanks.

August 2, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, to bed.
9:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, sunny day so far.
11:00AM Had something to eat. Have to go to the store and the post office. Have to take a shower and get ready. Temperature is 93 degrees and sunny so far, cloudy and looks like it may rain.
1:00PM Called Fox Plumbing about replacing the commode in my bathroom. He said he would furnish the commodes for approximately $375.00 each so I told him to bring two commodes and install two chair height/comfort toilets in both bathrooms. Will also have him look at putting in a shower in the front bathroom. It may or my not be cost productive to replace the bathtub with a shower.
7:00PM Talked to Barb. She went to Dr. Reddy this afternoon and when she got home Wendy just packed up and went home. The doctor gave her Amiodrone which is an Iodine based medication to control the rhythm of the heart. He said she should try the medication to correct the problem and if that does not work then consider a pace maker. She has fears of side effects of the medication. I think it depends on how she can tolerate Iodine. She said she is going to talk to Jennie today to see if she can get someone to stay with her since her daughters don't seem to care. All they worry about is Barb being sick interferes with their lives and plans.
8:00PM I talked to Ceil and she said that Gene Rogers has had people taking care of his mother for several years and he could possible help Barb find someone to stay with her. I know Barb does not want someone to live in because she just likes to do things herself but the time has come to have help only if it is just a companion. I know it will cost Barb around $10 an hour but it is Wendy's and Dana's money so spend it, maybe it will wake them up.
10:00PM Didn't do much today, got everything into the house but have not put anything away.

August 3, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, to bed.
9:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside, have about an inch of water in the Forida room. Removed the plastic aroung the Florida room door, because is doesn't seem to be keeping the water out, so will have to find some way to get ride of the water.
12:00PM Going to Post Office to pick up my mail that they have been holding for me for the last two weeks.
1:00PM Back home, most of the mail was not of any importance. Received a bill from Harrison County Sheriff for $93.00 for taxes on my car. I called the Harrison County Assessor and asked about the tax bill and she said that the Assessor had contacted me and asked if I had moved when I sent them a change of address when I sold the house. I told her according to her that I had not yet transfered my auto to Florida so the bill for 2018 taxes on my car. I asked what would happen if I just didn't pay the tax because the only thing I need the tax receipt was to get my tag for my car and since the car was now titled and registered in Florida and I will not be paying the tax, and she said that is between you and the sheriff and hung up. LOL
2:15PM Going to VA clinic to get my toe nails cut.
3:00PM Finished at the VA clinic and have another appointment on February 4th 2019. They will notify me in February by mail to remind me.

August 4, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, to bed.
10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, felt very nice sitting outside while she did her business. I have stopped cleaning up after her because with all the rain we are having her droppings are gone by the next day. If it doesn't rain the sun dries it up by the next day. She is doing her business where I cut grass so I don't think it makes any difference.
12:00PM Had some cereal w/banana for lunch.
4:30PM Took Carlos a couple jars of tomatoes and peppers and a jar of tomato with bassel.

7:00PM Called Barb and she seems to be OK but she said she had spent the complete day by herself. Dana called and said she would be home in a couple days. Wendy called and said she will be working three days this week and three days next week. Looks like the girls have settled in and back to their old routine, out of sight out of mind.
11:00PM Watched TV all evening.

August 7, 2018
7:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside. Beautiful day.
8:10AM Fox Plumbing arrived to install two new commodes.
9:30AM Plumber says that the commode he brought to install in the front bathroom is a little large and will not fit against the wall correctly. He has to go back to the warehouse and pick up another style of tank which is thinner than the other and should fit correctly.
10:15AM Plumber returned with a new tank. It is going to cost me a few more dollars because of the new tank, nothing new. Nothing ever costs what the estimate is.
11:00AM Shane Ewin, my plumber, finished both of the commode installations. He did a very good job. I will have to clean up the floor when the sealant sets up. No hurry doing that. He did not make a big mess, just a little dirt on the floor which was a little dirty before he started.
12:00PM Have used both new commodes and it sure feels great not feeling like you are sitting in a hole. Easy to sit on and a lot easier to get up, just like sitting on a chair.
2:44PM Temperature just hit 100 degrees.
3:00PM Wind has picked up and hitting highs of 15 mph.
3:30PM Temperature has dropped to 87 degrees since the wind has increased and is coming from west and southwest, must be the sea breeze with clouds.
3:50PM Wind dropping and the sun is coming out, the temperature has gone back up and is now 92 degrees.
4:30PM Temperature now 98 degrees. Doesn't look like rain but everything looks right for rain.
7:00PM Called Barb and she said she had been alone all day but felt OK. Also the new safety alarm system would not work because it is cell phone based and it is not getting any signal. Wendy called while we were talking and she said she would call back.
7:50PM Barb called and said Wendy had called the alarm company and explained to them that cell phone service was not reliable in Barb's area so they told Barb to send it back for a refund.
9:00PM Watching TV for the rest of the evening.

10:00AM Got the lawn mower out and started to mow my grass.
11:00AM Finished cutting the grass. I did work up a slight sweet. Very tired when I finished. Lying down to rest for a while before getting a shower.
4:00PM Finally got my shower and watching some TV and relaxing. I am going to have to find someone to cut my grass because it wears me out to cut it. I will have to trim tomorrow. I noticed that a man was running around cutting several lawns but I could not get his attention to see if he would do mine. I think he is the man that cuts the right of way. He is on one of those big mowers. Temperature is 98 degrees.
6:00PM Eric text and said he expected to be down this weekend.
7:00PM Called Barb and we talked for a while. She said she was OK but Jenny only came for a short time this morning. She had to go back home because the kids were alone and the power had gone off. She said the tax people are going to be at the Methodist Church in Lumberport on Friday and after she goes to the beauty saloon and having her hair fixed she will go to the church and have the people help her file out her tax papers.

9:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside, another beautiful day.
1:00PM Called Vet and Bella has an appointment for grooming and check up on Tuesday 14th at 9am. 2:00PM Going to Walmart and Lowe's. Picked up a tub chair and a pair of slippers at Walmart and picked up 6 panels, screws and some AA batteries at Lowe's. 5:30PM Called a cleaning service and they will be here tomorrow morning around 10am to clean the house for $120.00 and when they finish we may be able to work something out to clean the house. She mentioned $75.00 on a biweekly basis. I don't think I will be able to handle that price but we will see after tomorrow.
7:00PM Called Barb, talked for a while. Asked her how she was doing and she said things were pretty good. Had a short conversation about Wendy. Seems Wendy just understand why Barb just doesn't come and go at will without taking Jenny with her when she shops. I understand, it is very tiring going places and walking around and around to find things. You are just worn out when you get back home. At least, with Jenny Barb doesn't have to drive or carry everything to the car and into the house by herself. Wendy and Dana are, out of sight out of mind.
11:00PM Watched TV all evening. Washed a load of clothes.

11:00AM Spic & Span Cleaning Services just came. The two ladies are Kayla Crowe 2619 Goffview St, Lakeland FL 33801. Her helper is Tiffany Todd. They started cleaning.
1:00PM They are wrapping up. Looks like they did a pretty good job. I could not find sheets for the double bed so all they did was remove the sheets and put them in the washing machine. They also put all the rugs and other things in the washer and I will take them out later and put them in the dryer. The next time I will pick up the rugs before they come and wash and dry them so they can put them back down. They didn't do anything to the larger bedroom, no need to because it is not used. The only thing I had to call them on was Tiffany forgot to clean out from under my bed. She then cleaned under the bed. They only run a swifter on the hard wood floors but did clean the tubs and bathrooms very well. Washed out all of the trash cans after emptying them. The next time I will have them remove everything from the refrigerator and clean it out. I asked Kayla to come in the last week of September. I also gave Kayla all of the twin bed sheets that I had stacked up. Have been trying to get rid of them ever since I got here. Just have no use for twin bed sheets.
1:30PM They left. after I gave the $120.00 in cash. Kayla did not want a check because she said it would be difficult to cash, I think it is because she does not want any paper trail and I understand. Found my double bed sheets, just where I had put them so I wouldn't forget where they were, LOL, what's new for the old memory.
2:00PM Texting back and forth with Kayla, she is trying to fix me up with her grandmother, Maple Mallory. Maple is nice looking lady age 72 and I assume lives in Lakeland or Plant City. Will give it a thought, would be nice to have a local lady to talk to once in a while. Just have to make sure my and her politics agree, wouldn't want to run into a Liberal. She has put on her FB page that she is proud to be white and a southern girl. Will have to see.

Dana could not move unless Barb finances the move and Wendy would insist that she get her share of the money from the farm. Of course, Jeff would step in and want his part of the proceeds.

August 21, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, to bed.
4:00AM Bella is having a bad time. She is continuously scratching. Since she is in bed with me it keeps me awake. I think it has been caused by either the shampoo they used to wash her or a spray scent that they put on her. Got out of bed and gave her a bath with just warm water, no soap. I hope it helps her.
4:30AM Back to bed with Bella asleep on my bed.
9:30AM Up and about, took Bella outside. All she wants to do is roll in the grass. She acts like a dog that has been sprayed by a skunk and can't get rid of the smell. 12:00PM Fixed me some eggs, sausage and gravy for lunch.
1:30PM Called the Vet Hospital about Bella scratching. I asked what kind of shampoo they used and what kind of a spray. They assured me that the shampoo should not bother her and the spray is a raspberry scented spray. They said they would make a note about Bella so they would be more careful the next time and if she gets worse to bring her in and the Vet would look at her to find out the cause. I think it will be like always, Bella will get better by herself.
7:00PM Called Barb and she said she had been to see Dr. Reddy and he told her he would contact WVU Hospital and set up an appointment for her to be evaluated for the pacemaker. She will have an appointment and tests and then they will determine if she is a candidate for a pacemaker. That is what I told her would happen and will take more time and probably at least two trips to Morgantown for appointments and evaluation in the cardiac department of the WVU Hospital. They won't be in any hurry, she is 88 years old and is on medication for the situation and they may even determine that she is not a candidate for the procedure. Wendy thinks that she should go to Columbus to see a cardiologist and get things done more quickly.

11:00PM Nothing but programming about John McCain dying and what a great man he was. I never thought much of him and will not change my mind now that he is dead. I suppose because we are both stubborn old men.

August 26, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, to bed.
9:30AM Up and about.

2:00PM Steve text me and wanted to know where my Navy flag was and wanted to know if he could borrow it or was I going to fly it for McCain. I told him I would not fly the flag for McCain, because I didn't like him or respect him when he was alive and I wouldn't display the Navy flag for him when he was dead. I loaned it to him and he is going to fly it at half mast for a couple days and if he feels that way I will let him use it.
4:00PM Just went back to FOX news and there had been a mass shooting in Jacksonville, FL, no further information at this time. Temperature is 97 degrees. FOX went back to talking about McCain.

Some people may not like or may be upset about what I have to say about John McCain but I did not like the man while he was alive and I can not be a hypocrite and change my feelings because he is dead.
Note:
I am really getting tied of hearing about John McCain. He is just another dead politician. He was only one of many that were POWs in Vietnam and I haven't seen all the hullabaloo over the others that were there. He was not a hero, he was just one of the unlucky to be captured in Vietnam. He married his first wife because she was young and beautiful and he wanted arm candy when he was a young Lieutenant at flight school in Pensacola. He was an Admiral's son and thought his shit didn't stink and a hot shot Naval Aviator. He was possibly the fault of an explosion on an aircraft carrier when it is possibly a rocket fell or was released from a plane and killed several and destroyed a lot planes. Of course, due to bad luck or hot shot flying he was shot down and was captured in Vietnam. He did spend nearly 5 years in captivity along with others. When he returned to the US he found out that his wife had been injured in a car accident and was in physical therapy at the same time as he was in therapy. She was no longer the young beautiful women, she was first in a wheel chair and was shorter and heavier but they did continue to stay married during the time he had several well documented affairs. When he got a little older he grew tired of his wife and felt she could not produce a young pretty image to aid him in his political expectations so he divorced her and marry a young beautiful cheer leader with a lot of money. He used her money and his public exposure and launched his political career. He should have retired years ago but the old stubborn SOB just hung on until the end.

11:00PM Watching odds and ends all evening, could not watch any news because nothing but coverage of McCain.
11:30PM Took the garbage out.

August 27, 2018

9:30AM Cell phone range but when I look who called it said Phil Stiles but when I went to my call log his number was not there so I figured it was just a fluke of some sort. 10:00AM Up and about, Bella does not want to go outside, she even stayed in our bed.
10:30AM Looked out to see if Steve still has the flag up at half mast and neither flag is out. He still has a sign in his window of "McCain for President". Of course, that is just a keep sake.
11:00AM Fixed some cereal w/bananas. 1:50PM My cell just said I had a text from Kit but I could not get it to show on screen. Then realized the phone was locked up. couldn't get to work so turned cell off and then let it reset. Read the text from Kit and then saw I had a voice mail from Phil so listened. Still nothing on Phil's call on my call log.
1:55PM Called Phil and his wife answered and Phil was out so she said she would have him call me back when he gets home.
2:30PM Lots of kudos for John McCain.

Note:
I did not respect McCain as a man but do respect his position in Congress. I can not be a hypocrite and show the man respect in death. He should not be given more respect than any other Congressman or Congresswoman that serve their country in congress.
Just a few facts about McCain.
On July 3, 1965, Shepp and McCain married in Philadelphia The uncontested divorce became official in Fort Walton Beach on April 2, 1980.
In April 1979, John McCain began a relationship with Cindy Lou Hensley, an Arizona special education teacher and Hensley & Co. heiress.
On May 17, 1980 John McCain married Cindy Hensley
Cindy McCain since her father, Jim Hensley's death in 2000, has served as chairperson of Hensley & Company, the Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship founded by her father in 1955. By 2007, she had an estimated net worth of $100 million.
From 1988 to 1995, Cindy McCain founded and operated a nonprofit organization, the American Voluntary Medical Team, which organized trips by medical personnel to disaster-stricken or war-torn third-world areas. During this time, she became addicted to painkillers for several years and resorted to having a physician write illegal prescriptions on her behalf. A federal investigation into her illegal drug use ensued, but she reached an agreement with the government in which no charges were filed against her.
John Sidney McCain III retired from the United States Navy in April 1981. His last four years in the service had been spent as the Navy's liaison to the United States Senate.
He moved to Arizona with his new wife and, aided by a job from his father-in-law and the contacts it gave him, soon began a new career in politics.
In 1982, he was elected as a Republican to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona's 1st congressional district. After serving two terms there and making an impression as a rising political figure, he was elected U.S. Senator from Arizona in 1986.
He became one of the senators entangled in the Keating Five scandal of the late 1980s, but survived it and was re-elected in 1992 and 1998.
Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.
People who are already married, even if they have been separated for a long period of time, cannot get married until they divorce their former spouse. Proof of dissolution (divorce), annulment, or death of previous spouse is required to show termination of any and all prior marriages. When in a legal marriage, changing your legal status from married to unmarried or single is obtained via a dissolution or divorce. Also it is terrible that political pressure caused President Trump to brake the rules covering the flag at half mast: In accordance to the law and rules covering displaying of the US Flag states: The flag will be "displayed at half mast on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress."

3:30PM Temperature 86 degrees and wind up to 15 mph out of the SW.
6:00PM Phil called and he wants me to write something up about the Stiles Reunion. I asked for him to send me notes and I will write a narrative and send it back to him. He also said that the Stiles reunion will be held in Pennsylvania near Lancaster, PA. He told me the name of the place but I did not retain the name of the town.
6:30PM Tried to call Millie and her cell said that the mail box had not been set up. Don't know the problem, will have to wait until she calls me.
7:00PM Called Barb, she told me that Dr. Reddy and the doctor from WVU decided that she should continue the medication for her heart because they feel she is to old to have the pace maker installed. She is not very happy about that. She says that she feels bad when she gets up but feels better after she takes her medication in the morning but it seems to wear off in the early evening. I told her to talk to the doctor and maybe he could break the dosage down and she could take it 2 or 3 times a day.
8:00PM Watching "Tucker Carlson" Lots of new information about Bruce Ohr and his questioning today. I don't think anything will come of any of all of this bull shit.

August 29, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, taking a shower and off to bed.
2:00AM While taking my shower the seat I have in the tub collapsed and I fell on my rump in the tub with my feet above my head. I could not get up. I struggled for nearly 20 minutes to remove the remains of the shower seat to get out from under me and out of the tub. I was beginning to wonder if I would be able to bet back to my feet. After I removed the remains of the seat I got myself turned over off my back and onto my knees and was able to get up and out of the tub. That seat is going to the garbage and I will have to get a better seat. The collapsed seat was rated at 250 lbs which was not sufficient to hold my weight.
2:30AM Finally in bed and not sleepy at all because I was a little upset from the fall.

She said that she has no ride for this Friday to go to the hair salon and she said she was going to drive herself. She also said that she is going to the doctor next week and will bring up the suggestion I made of spreading out her meds over the day instead of just in the morning. The meds in the morning seem to help her but it wears off by the end of the day.
8:00PM Writing the narrative for Phil about the Stiles Reunion in July. I finished it and sent it to Phil for his editing. Watching "Tucker Carlson" and Millie called.

3:30PM Wendy text and said she just arrived at UHC.
4:35PM Wendy text that Dr. Reddy had been in and said that the fainting is caused by low BP and the pace maker would not help her. He is changing her meds and hope that will help. I have always thought that the fainting is caused by sudden low BP, like getting up to fast and you get dizzy because your BP drops suddenly. I hope he can get her BP straightened out. If not she will have to find someone to live in or go to a living assisted living institution. I don't want see that happen.
7:00PM Called Barb and we didn't talk very long. She said she was very sick this morning and fainted, she called Jenny and she insisted to call the emergency car and go to the hospital. Jenny called Wendy and Dana and told them. Dana took off work and came to the hospital. Wendy showed up around 3:30pm. Barb said she talked to the doctor and he is changing her medications to control her blood pressure but she won't be taking the new meds until this evening. She said the she would probably be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days. When I started to ask other question she go evasive and I asked if someone was there listening to what she was saying and she said Dana and Dwayne were there and could hear what was being said. I will talk to her tomorrow night and possibly no one will be there and she will be able to talk freely.

8:00PM Received an email from Wendy with the information on a place here in Lakeland. "Osprey Manor" I read all the information she sent me and I looked up the address, it is only 6 miles from me so it would be handy for me. They have High Rise apartments, and Villa cottages. I think Barb would like one of the cottages over the high rise. Prices run from $1195 for very small place to $1795 for a larger with one or two bed rooms. Only 2 bed room apartments in high rise. Got a couple pictures from street view on Google Earth and sent them to Wendy. I feel Wendy is trying to get Barb near me so I will be responsible for her.

She was alone yesterday except for Jennie and she talked to Dana for a couple minutes and Wendy called her and complained that it is raining on there vacation, so they are going to fly to Los Vegas to gamble. She know if she comes down here at least she will see me more than she sees her daughters and there will be people around. If she moves down here and it doesn't work out then she can come and live with me. I think we could get along, at least easier than she would get along with her daughters. I am not going to push one way or the other. I will do everything Wendy and Barb want me to do. When Wendy calls me when she gets back I will call and get an appointment for a visit If it works out for Barb, I may also consider it down the road.
10:00PM Watching "Laura Ingraham".
11:00PM Watching "Shannon Bream".

1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
10:00AM Up and about. Took Bella outside.
12:00PM Can't eat anything because I have labs at 2pm.
2:00PM Finished at the labs and going to Burger King for lunch and then to the bank to pick up cash to pay, Kayla when she comes to clean tomorrow. 3:00PM Went to Walmart to pick some groceries and a new set of fitted sheets for my bed. I only have two sets and one set is torn and doesn't fit correctly.
4:00PM Back home and put everything away.
5:00PM Watching "The Five". Kit texted that Wendy is putting her house on the market in 2020 and going to move south. She talked earlier as looking for a place near Bradenton, FL which is about 65 miles south west of me.
7:00PM Called Barb, she was very upset. Dana come by this afternoon and got on to Barb about her selling the farm and possibly moving to Lakeland. Dana jumped her mother and said the only reason she and Dwayne came to the farm is because Barb asked them to move from PA to the farm. Dana says it wasn't fair that Barb would just kick them out without anything. I assume from what Dana said to Barb about kicking her out with nothing means "you owes us money from the sale of the farm so they could make it" Barb doesn't owe them a thing. She bought the double wide and had it delivered and set up which cost Barb a lot of money. Dana and Dwayne pay nothing except their utilities (they have free gas from one of the wells on the farm). Dana and Dwayne have their hands out for what ever they can get out of Barb. They will get their 3rd of the estate when Barb is gone. Barb needs the money to live on, it is her only income other than her small retirement and Social Security. I she moves to Lakeland into an assisted living facility it will cost her all of her income plus more. I am afraid Dana will raise so much Hell that it will upset Barb and she will get sick.
8:00PM I text Kit asking her to call me. Watching "Tucker Carlson"
9:00PM Kit text back and said she had just read my text but she didn't call, she said she was tired and couldn't talk to me. I can't see why she couldn't take 5 minutes to call and talk to me. She is hiding her head in the sand and does not want to confront Barb's situation. 10:00PM Watching "Laura Ingrham"

9:30AM Up and about, lawncare has been here and cut my grass.
9:45AM Kayla text, she will be here around 1:30pm to clean the house. She asked if her grand mother could come while she cleans and I said, OK with me, then she text back and said her grandmother had a doctor's appointment. I figure that is just an excuse not to come but I don't really want to meet her. It would complicate things. I don't need complications.
2:00PM Kayla cleaning lady arrived and I told them to clean the Florida room and clean stove/microwave, kitchen cabinets, refrigerator,
3:30PM Kayla finished cleaning. They do a good job at what they do. The MH looks great. Nice and clean. They will be back around the last week of October.

11:45AM Called the Bella Vista Assistant living facility and set up an appointment to go visit the facility tomorrow at 2pm. Talked to Rachel.
11:53AM Called Barb and talked to her, she said Dr. Reddy had been and told her there was no reason for her to be in the hospital and why did she call the emergency alert. He said that it was just a panic attack. She said he was very rude. She said that a neurologists was suppose to come and talk to her.
12:00PM Went out and pulled the vines growing in my carport and swept the carport where the lawn mower for John blow grass clippings all over my carport. Also everyday when I go out I see where there dog has pissed on my tires. I would like to find a shocker to place on my tires to blow the balls off that little bastard.

8:00PM Will be watching TV the rest of the evening.
9:00PM Texting Kit and she said to contact Martha that took care of mom. Martha worked for mom over 20 years ago and Kit said that she is younger than herself. That means Martha is under 73 and and I don't believe that would be a good idea.

12:30PM Temperature just hit 100 degrees. It will probably get hotter around 3pm. That is usually the hottest part of the day.
12:45PM Put a piece of beef in crock pot with red potatoes and onion with a bay leaf and Italian seasoning, salt. Wanted to put carrots in but the carrots were a little slimy in the package that I got at the store.

2:00PM Went to Family Dollar and picked up some dish washing pods for the dishwasher. Also picked up two picture frames.

10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside. I had one of those dreams last night, frightening and I struck out and knocked the clock by my bed and broke it. I don't know if I will be able to fix it or not. I have struck out several times during my dreams but this the first time I have broken anything.
11:00AM Steve brought my Navy flag back. He said he is working 40 hours a week now and his wife can only work part time because they only have one vehicle. I thought about volunteering to help with transportation but I gave it a second thought and didn't say anything. Something like that could get very inconvenient.

7:15PM Barb called back, she was having dinner when I called before. Dana an Dwayne were there.
9:00PM Text with Wendy. We discussed why Barb won't walk more and exercise. I told her that she doesn't understand how difficult it is for us older people to walk a lot because it just wears us out. I know that exercising is good for you but walking more than just a short distance just wears me out and I know if Barb over does it, it takes days to recover.
10:00PM Watching "How the West was won". I know it is an old movie but not much on tonight to watch. I did watch "Finding Your Roots" earlier.

September 17, 2018

7:00PM Called Barb, she said the Zoloft was making her sick so I told her to stop taking it. She had called her doctor and the nurse said it would be OK to stop taking the Zoloft. She had only taken 4 tabs of 25mg each so stooping should have no effect on her.
8:00PM Watching "Tucker Carlson". Eric text and said he was going over to James because James' car was in the shop being fixed.
11:00PM Watching "Shannon Bream", all of the bull shit about this women accusing Judge Kavanaugh. She is full of shit. The letter Fienstien presented was not signed so who really wrote it? This women can make all of the charges she wants but if she come to Congress and tells this story under oath and it is proven not to be true she has lied to the Congress and can be prosecuted. She can tell the story everywhere not under oath and no one can do a thing to her. Kavanaugh will never sue her for character assassination.

September 19, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed. It is Tyler's 21st birthday, I hope he has a great birthday.
8:30AM Lawncare is mowing my grass. Woke me up.
9:30AM Up and about, Bella does not want to go out.
11:30AM Pedro NP4PF just dropped by with his Wouxun HT and wanted to know if I could program it for him. We talked for a while and I tried my cable for my Boefong UVR5 and it did not work. I asked him to leave it with me and I would try to program it for the local repeater and then give him a call. 12:00PM Temperature just hit 102 degrees, is going up and down a couple degrees. Working on Pedro's HT making some progress and have the 146.685 programmed in the HT but can't get anyone up on the repeater to give me a radio check. It is very difficult to try to test when you are trying to test with both radios in the same room. Took Bella outside, it is really hot.
12:20PM Received a call from Watson Clinic Cancer Resource Center for an appointment with Dr. Mulaparthi at the Cancer Center on Tuesday September 25th at 12:30PM.
3:30PM Terminex called and the service man said he wasn't feeling well and wanted to know if he could come another day. I told him I would be gone tomorrow but told him to call me around 5pm and I may be on my way home at the time.

8:00PM Watching "Tucker Carlson", will be watching TV the rest of the evening.

September 20, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside, very nice day, temperature 85 degrees, no clouds.
1:30PM Leaving for Lake Gibson to check it out.
2:00PM Met Laura Tenpenny and she answered my questions and gave me a tour of the facility. It is really a very nice facility. Three story with elevators. Beautiful dining room and has a theater and also has a pool. All amenities are included. You furnish your own furniture. Cost of $3195.00 pricey but nice.
4:00PM Back home and the Terminex inspector is here and he found some reminiscence of termites and he is measuring the MH to give me a cost of tenting and spraying for termites. Temperature is 102 degrees.
5:00PM Terminex completed inspection and gave me a estimate of $1595.00 for tenting the MH and I would have to move to a motel for two days. Also will have to take down my antennas and weather station. I told him after I go to the doctor and see what is going on with me I will contact them. They will finance interest free for three months.
7:05PM Barb called, Wendy had text telling me she was on phone with Kit at 7pm so waited for her to call. Talked to Barb for around 20 minutes and then talked to Wendy for 30 minutes. Seems she saw on the internet the Lake Gibson quoted their rooms for around $2200 rather than the $3195 Laura quoted me while was there. Wendy thinks she quoted me assisted living to me and not senior living. I think she quoted me what I asked her so I told Wendy to call her tomorrow and take it up directly with her, maybe did so Wendy can straighten that out. She wants me to call and go to Brookdale next. Brookdale has two facilities in Lakeland, one about 5 miles from me and the other 9 miles away. I will make sure to ask the questions about cost for assisted and senior living.
8:00PM Watching "Tucker Carlson" again. This is a bunch of Bull Shit about these women accusing Kavanaugh. She doesn't want to testify in front of the Senate committee because if she lies there she can go to jail. I wish all of these women with all of their Bull Shit would suck it up and grow some balls. The Democrats don't care if what the women says is true or not, they just want to derail Kavanaugh for Supreme Court.
11:00PM Watching FOX and H&I.

September 21, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
1:15AM Temperature is still 95 degrees.
7:30AM Up and moving around but thought it was a little early to get up so had a glass of water and went back to bed.
11:00AM Back up and the phone rang and it was Watson Clinic reminding me of my Tuesday appointment at 12:30pm at the Cancer Clinic.
11:30AM Took Bella outside, temperature is 95 degrees, hasn't changed since I went to bed last night. Watered my banana tree again, I try to water the banana tree each morning when I take Bella outside. Seems I am getting a new leaf each day.
2:00PM Just realized that the temperature readings on my weather station are completely wrong. Checked and I have low batteries so replaced batteries and the temperature now reads 81 degrees. All other readings don't seem to be effected by the batteries. Wind Gage and rain Gage create their own electrical pulses and don't use the battery. All good now. 4:00PM Back from the VET, it cost me $140.00 for the treatment. They gave her a shot for the itching and some cream to rub into her skin. The Vet also told me to get some fish oil and put in her food to help with her skin and hot spots.

Note:
My opinion on the Ford/Kavanaugh accusation is: - - - We have all seen and heard about women going to a therapist about something happening to them in the far past and through therapy the event is uncovered and then the therapist tries to find out the perpetrator of the event and then they start going through all of her acquaintances in her past and all of a sudden a childhood acquaintances appears in the national spot light and the victim and the therapist lock in on the name and the therapist connects the name and the incident and the victim believes it all as really happening exactly as her therapist has concluded.

5:00PM Watching "The Five"
7:00PM Wendy text and said she was using Barb's phone and Barb would call me when she got finished her phone call.
7:30PM Checked into the digital Friday night net. They will be changing to Monday night at 6:30pm.
8:00PM Barb called and we talked for a few minutes and then I talked to Wendy. Wendy referred to a couple other facilities but I think the one she referred to is only an assisted living facility but will check on Monday and talk to them and then go possible later in the week. Watching "Tucker Carlson" on a delay.
9:00PM All this bull shit about this Kavanaugh appointment and the Democrats is just dragging out.

September 22, 2018
1:00AM Meds, injection, getting ready to go to bed.
7:30AM Up and looked outside and it looks like another hot sunny day. Bella didn't even lift her head and look up at me so it must be to early to get up. Went back to bed.
10:00AM Back up and about, took Bella outside and let her run around, also watered the banana tree which is growing very well.
12:00PM Kit called and we talked about Barb coming down here in November. I told her that I would like for Barb to come down when it gets cold in WV and stay for a while just to see how she likes living down here. While she is here she and I could go out and look at places unless she would just decide to live with me for a while. I think we could get along. Might be a couple rough spots but it would be much better than moving into a facility. Also, if I do have something wrong with me I could use her support. If something is really bad, it would be very rough for me going through it.
1:00PM Temperature just hit 95 degrees.
2:30PM Called Betty Moran and had a good talk. We talked about Dorthy Surock dying. Betty had just gotten back from the funeral home visitation. She was a little down so tried to cheer her up a little. Hope I helped some. Nothing much going on in Bridgeport other than people dying.
3:30PM Millie had beeps in while I was talking to Betty so I called her when I got off with Betty. She has pneumonia and the doctor gave her a shot and put her on some antibiotics. She feels better now, but still dragging.
4:00PM Realized when I got off with Millie that I had missed the beginning of the WVU KS State game and when I tuned in it was had 4 minutes left in the 1st quarter and the score was WVU 7 KS 0. Watching the game. Temperature 91 degrees.
6:50PM WVU 35 - KS State 6, the game is over, pretty good game. Eric says he is coming down tomorrow so took two slabs of ribs out of the freezer to thaw. Will put them in the over when I get up in the morning.

Going to use this card to install show in my bathroom. Won't have to take money out of savings and can pay it with no interest in a year.
12:15PM Received a text from Wendy stating that she is taking Barb into coming and living with me. I think that would be great, I think we will be able to get along.

8:00AM Lawncare, sounds like the guys are mowing my grass this morning. 10:00AM Up and about, took Bella outside.
12:00PM Fred from ing came by to take a look at installing a shower in my bathroom. He said it would not be possible to put in 30 x 60 in shower enclosure which I had examples of but if I could find something 28 x 54 he would give me an estimate to install. Looking on internet to see if I can find something.
1:00PM Found a company in TX that has 28 x 54 inch shower pad and a three piece inclusive with a cost of $853.30 delivered to me. I called Fred and he said that they would install it for $1550.00, (telcon 1:21pm) this would put it around $2400.00. I also went on line and found tempered glass sliding doors and two heavy duty grab bars putting the total cost of around $2700.00. I have applied for a Capital One credit card with 15 months of interest free credit with a $150.00 bonus back. When I get my card I think I will order the shower pad and enclosure and then call Fox Plumbing to put me on their schedule. I should be able to get this done by the time Barb comes down.
4:00PM Going to store to pick up some groceries.
7:00PM Called Barb, and there was noise on the line so she called me back. We talked and I told her about the installing the shower and cost in my bathroom.

10:30AM But the ribs in the oven.
3:00PM Barb called and we talked about her coming down around the first of November.
6:00PM The Senate committee has finished up for the day. Looks like Kavanaugh came out on top. Ford did exactly as I thought she would. She was one of those women that couldn't fit in with the elite in her school because the more she tried the more they laughed at her so she is trying to get even. Liberals used her weakness. She is a damaged soul. You can see it in her face, the mouse that never will fit in, pitiful individual.

Dana thinks Barb is going to sell the farm for less than it is worth to Jason but she knows Jason will kick her off the farm if he buys it. 1:30PM Wendy called and we talked for half hour while Barb was in hair saloon. Wendy did not want for Barb to hear what she was talking about.

10:35AM Fred Fox plumbing called returning my call from yesterday. I told him that the order from R&G should be here on October 10 and he seemed to be surprised that it is coming so quickly. He gave me a date of October 24-26 to install the shower in the bathroom. He asked that when it actually is delivered to call Fox plumbing and let them know that it has arrived and he may have an earlier date if he gets a cancellation.
2:22PM ABF trucking called and said the order would be delivered on Monday, October 8th sometime during the day and wanted some information about the truck being able to get into the MH.

What they are dumping down the street where the owner told me that they were putting in a double wide that they had tried to get down the street a couple weeks ago and then parked it on the other side of the MH park near the small stream where it floods. Looks at lease 80 tons of red sand or clay that they will use to put a trailer or double wide on. The double wide they brought in before and couldn't get it around the corner to go down the street looks like a used double wide and needs a lot of work on the outside.

6:00PM Back home and Barb is putting the groceries away. Got enough food to last us through the New Year, at least, I hope so.
8:00PM Watching "Tucker Carlson" on internet and Barb is watching TV.
9:45PM Barb went to bed.
11:00PM Watching my normal nightly TV.
Note: The last time my son was here I gave him two items that belonged to his mother to take and give her, a set of antique Spanish colonial conquistador brass stirrups and a bronze plaque. I thought she would appreciate it but of course she said nothing to my son and it appears that she will never ease up on her hatred for me. I have several heirlooms that belonged to her family that I have collected over the years. Since she does not appreciate me giving some of her things she left behind, I will either give them to someone else, sell them or destroy them.

Judy says that she is recovering and I am very happy to hear that. Tomorrow is her birthday. It is the big 80. I told her that it will pass just as easy as the 50th. I think 50 was my roughest birthday to get over. Of course, Eric just had his 50th and he had to dye his hair and beard because as he said it was making him look old.
