Well, I had a long adventurous day first with my son Jeff showing up out of the blue, then my best friend Ms.Tonda rang me up and we walked downtown to the corner pub.
What a great place.
It's just like an Irish pub inside, atmosphere and all.
God it's going on 12:30am

PG, Did you go to the Hot air balloon thing?? Nix that, Didn't see your note!
Currently enjoying a cup of coffee ,and a plate of SOS . Just finished putting a new coil in a MS 361 for a neighbor . Gonna wait for a bit cooler morning to tune it . It was turning over 14k this A.M. . Too close to the “ it needs a piston and cylinder “ carb settings if the temps drop and the guy tries to use it without a retune . In a bit , it’s combat mowing ,an roundup application time . . .
You all ( Y’all ,or Yinz ) enjoy your day ?

No. It was too freaking hot to be standing around all day.
I did track it on a Farcebook feed though throughout the day.
Glad I didn't now. Talked to some people who did attend and they said it wasn't all that.
I went out late! for dinner with a group of friends.
Today I think my eldest son and granddaughter are coming to visit this evening, but that could change too.
My life and welcome to it. Lol
I don't sleep but 4-6 hrs anyway.
Yes, I have 3 job prospects.
Just waiting for a position for the shift time I prefer.
Full time, 2-10p.
The one place has night open 10p-6a.
Nope!
Meanwhile I'm doing fine and dandy.
Any more questions?
Waiting for Senora cha cha to get home so I can make dinner.
I'm having coffee and browsing the forums and news sites.
Finally figured out how to have 2 windows open on a smart phone without closing the other down lol
It's supposed to storm this evening and then cool off for a few days.
I'm going to do my laundry this afternoon and just putter around.

Sailing was amazing last Saturday. Good winds and the boat handled well. The sheets and winches are set differently than our previous craft. And then there is the wheel steering. The traveler is on top of the cabin roof and needs lubrication. And the winch handles foul with the Bimini straps. I have to figure out a different set up.
With all that it is taking some time to get used to it. Our tacks were pretty sloppy, but we got them done without looking like newbies. Or going into irons.
AC on the boat finally works. And so does the head. Friday and Saturday were pleasant nights with the Grandkids asleep below and me and the missus falling asleep in the cockpit watching Mars float by in the country sky.
Sunday morning Cathy took the kids to see their mom in Tulsa so I had the day to myself. Got the shed built Sunday in the heat, took a nap in the AC cool cabin, and then a shower about 5:00 PM. Headed home.
Without Cathy or the kids the trip took only four hours. Nice.
Three cats waiting at the door and glad to see me. I was glad to be home.
Five no shows this morning at work.
Must be Monday. Damn!

No further questions at this time !
Did some work on the boat. Installed a spare tire bracket on the trailer. Installed an electric winch. Installed a new boat seat.
I'll probably do it wrong and you'll get mad at me!!
Aww, never!
Welllll...I have a job interview this Friday at Fulton County hospital.
Position will be in the physician's office actually in Delta.
I don't know. It's been years since I've worked in that type of environment.
I can afford to be choosy and wait for an opportunity to come for the positions I've already applied for right here in town.
I want the one job in particular. It would be perfect for me.
It's only 2 blocks over.
This is maddening but exciting all the same.
Fitness center, then the Tuesday all-you-can-eat special at the Grand China Buffet with friends, then get my oil and filter changed while I spend some time with y niece, then a fund raiser for a friend who is running for Iowa state rep and then a DAV meeting.
Thanks. It'll all work out for the best.
Confidence!
So what is it you do?
Are you a mechanic?
Never mind, I forgot lol

Yes, the Vintage Porsche thing. I wish you well on Friday. I don't interview well. That's why I'm cleaning gutters today. I've been looking for another job for over a year. Had two interviews so far.
Thanks.
Good luck to you as well.
How old are you anyhow?
I'd guess in your mid 30s?
As far as your job prospects go, keep at it and ummm go get em tiger.
I'm guessing age based on your profile pic with the dog.It's the line of work you are in, they're going to pick the younger mechanics fresh out of training over you whether you're experienced or not.
That sucks, I know.
Keep looking.
Don't give up.
Hmm let me see.
I went to see my granddoodles
No tears.
I made dinner, I took a walk then came racing back because it rained (looking like a drowned rat).
We watched some tv.
I did the dishes by hand (no dishwasher here).
That is about the whole deal of my day.
Tomorrow I'm going to go to the library and look for a good book.
Remember those?
I've been working on a "life" poem as well in word pad on the lap top.
It's cathartic.
If it's good, I'll share it.
The End.

seeing if my heel/ankle can have that boot taken away-- it's a pain in my ankle-- & they said they may hafta fit me w/ one that'll fit me, as i'm so teensy; i'm game 4 that cast-- those, they take effort to get someone to slice away during 1 of my whims-- boots; u can un-velcro 'em, & they're gone!!
Probably finish installing the boat seat in the boat. What used to take a few minutes now takes days to complete. Also working on the atv. I got the axle back together yesterday and began installing it till my back gave out on me.
It's soo f'ing frustrating to not be able to do the things you used to. Yah....I know that happens as you get older and the aches and pains slowly take over your body but this is different. Try waking up a perfectly able bodied 38 year old and going about your day as normal then something happens and you wake up in ICU 3 days later barely able to move. 3 years later it's still a struggle to walk more than 200 feet on a good day. And every time you try doing anything other than just sitting there like a useless bump on a log, people are there saying you shouldn't be doing this or that and they're adamant about it. And knowing that you're only 41 and have been put out to pasture by everyone. Never included in anything. It sucks. Oh well. I'd be perfectly happy never having to deal with people again and just going about my day.

I'm not attempting to make light of your situation but some choices you made yourself contributed to putting yourself in harms way. I've been following your posts and it appears that the system is actually doing a pretty good job at providing for your needs. Could they do more? Possibly but then their are people working hard every day unable to provide their family as well as you are with your disabilities you should actually feel grateful.
As an example, we have possibly thousands of people who were utilized as cannon fodder in numerous political wars who came back compromised through no fault of their own. Their hopes and dreams were destroyed by the fact they were deliberately put in harms way for a cause and our government does everything it possibly can to deny their responsibility to these people. IMHO they do have a right to feel bitterness about their situation.
I don't actually know how to wright this but here it is. Please enter into Prayer and find it in yourself to forgiveness to yourself. The Lord seems to be providing for your actual day to day needs, but you need to find the ability to shed your resentment and move on with your life. Please find peace with God,
