<span style="font-size: large;"> ok I am doing fair my legs are fading Steps are killers and I am back to the power buggy's at the box stores. Pain hasn't been terrible I can manage pretty good most days. I have to be careful with the morphine I found I can only tolerate a 1/4 dose any more my hands shake so bad typing is impossible .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I haven't been commenting on my online friends blogs like I should . I have been ripping through books since I got kindle unlimited. averaging a book and 1/2 a day or 300 pages. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Last nite I did get a wild hair . Our back yard was tall and thick so I aired up the tires and gassed up the tractor. Our lawn mowers deck bit the dust my son is searching on Facebook for one. Some folks want a fortune for non-running bolens Yard man . Now I don't mind a fair price but 250 for a hulk isn't happening. Two folks want 60$ and 100$ and them gone we texted both I will take both on a chance its just meeting up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">OKAY back to the wild hair I tried to get on the tractor but legs just couldn't make it till my wife gave my ass a shove. I was in the seat with the motor sounding good I dropped it into low gear #2 set the bush hog to medium and tooled thru the grass smooth as silk. I didn't push it. My wife watched me said I had the time of my life I admit it was fun. once finished I parked it where getting on should be easier . </span><br />

While I do have a bit of dizziness its slowly going away. I spent January and February doing very little except reading . It feels good to be able to go to 2 stores and not have to use the old folks benches or power buggy's. I have in the past so I mean no disrespect. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The wife has been wanting to go to the mountains in the camper but that isn't happening . So today I jumped online punched in a Sunday - Thursday stay in a motel in Gatlinburg. I was shocked at the prices. I scrolled thru till I came to one I knew 1 block off the main drag 5 nights for 226$ tax included. I saw cheaper ones but none I would stay at . Well I booked us a week. If I know my wife I will be dragged to every open shop at least once in the week. Most of our time will be spent driving in the park and seeing the animals. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">that all I got .</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-11826913017574187612019-02-28T18:23:00.001-08:002019-02-28T18:23:19.513-08:00No I will never be able again.<span style="font-size: large;"> Our rental trailer had a tree fall it was healthy but the roots weren't deep enough .When It fell it crush an old Nissan truck and pinned our renters Jeep sport. I went up to help Jason cut it off his jeep. I took 3 large branches(1 1/2 ft around) off to reduce weight on his jeep. Once those were off we cut the 2 branches pinning the Jeep as they had no pressure now and backed the jeep out clear of danger. By then I was staggering Jason forced me to take a break and my son showed up and they finished without my help. I got to sit and point so they didn't have the trunk roll and pin them. Jason's jeep has 1 dent in the roof and I can press that out next weekend with a 2x4 and screw jack. The Nissan was going to be sold as a parts car so no loss in it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The work I did do showed me I need to take a slower approach to getting work done . Last night we had a pipe bust going through the wall to the shower. I went out with a crescent wrench to turn the water off at the meter. I couldn't budge it so my wife called her son the plumber. He came over and turned it off and at lunch he spliced the break in 10 minutes and was off running to do 4 more jobs. He is so hyper his boss has to tell him to slow down people get mad when they see him take 20 minutes to do a job (he does great work) and hand them a 380$ bill. I had a T cut off in the toolbox that got stole on the truck ;( . I could have fixed the busted pipe but T J did it in a 10th the time.</span><br />

Now I have been getting dizzy when I stand and it all from lack of exercise . Tomorrow I plan on going to Sam's ,Wal mart and Aldi's . I don't need anything I can think of but I am sick of feeling trapped in the house. This trip to the stores is more about exercise and my sanity. </span><br />

I could make a list and hope my wife got everything to who I want to get it. But I have choose to give my guns out before I pass away. This way there is no hurt feeling ,confusion or mistakes made.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The first gun I gave to my nephew was an H and R pardoner 20 ga. for his son when he got older . I gave my brother my Belgium made Browning16ga he broke down in tears when he opened the case and saw it. I have a single shot 22 Glenfield 10 I am putting a red dot sight on for 2 of the grandkids to learn with. Plus a model 25 ,7 shot is getting the same sight for another grandson. I still have a good many more to give to the kids . What I m trying to do is have the gun in good shape and ammo for it when I give it to them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The first of the week Harry at <a href="http://harryflashmansblog.blogspot.com/2019/02/amazon-prime-and-firestick-good-shows.html" target="_blank">Self Sufficient Mountain Living. </a>had a link for 8mm in striper clips from AIM. I ordered 5 boxes of them (they look like new) but are date 11/53 . I doubt I could shoot my 8 mm Mauser in the shape I'm in it would break my shoulder . Wal mart is 39.95 plus tax for a box of 20 I got 75 in stripers for 45.17 tax shipping and all. Just to give away!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have other things besides my guns I am finding homes for. The more I get done the less the wife will have to worry with.</span><br />

Just have gotten squared away on the tube feeding. The doctors want me to be hooked up to food and water 24 /7 but I will not do it. A nurse at the hospital had showed me how to reprogram the food pump. Mine was delivered pre programed for a 24 hour feed of 2250 calories of formula. I reprogramed it so I get 1875 calorie in a 13 hour period. This means I am un-tethered during the day</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> I know the shut down is affecting a lot of people but I hope Trump forces the issue of the wall .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Since New Year I have got a lot done around the house. Finished painting our kitchen and a shelf built above the washer and dryer .</span> <span style="font-size: large;"> I also painted our living room above the chair rail and with a lot of help got the L.R. ceiling scraped of the texture crap that I hated . Our grand daughter and her husband did most of the ceiling as my neck don't bend. Dragged my wife to the bank and got most our financials took care of. I am glad I got done what I have as I am running out of gas now. I have lost weight as I cant eat and now drinking has become limited. Looks like I will be having a feeding tube put in in the next few weeks I am waiting for the call now.</span><br />

Maybe it is their job. Maybe they just hate him and want him to fail regardless of consequence's to our country.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This is Trumps equivalent to Bush seniors "read my lips no new taxes" If he backs down his presidency is toast!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Yes people that are affect are mad I understand, but why at Trump. Sending a spending bill he will sign is congresses job. I see all this as a negligent congress . Its become a dick measuring contest, who has the biggest Balls . So far Nancy Pelosi is determined to win .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Mr. President Do Not Compromise !</span><span style="font-size: large;"> That is their game don't play it . They will have to cave by February regardless because of SNAP. Food stamps have funds for this month . Effective in February those card don't reload. Imagine what happens when 42 million people go</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> APE SHIT CRAZY !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> I saw this and want to say My president is standing up for me.</span><br />

Well last Wednesday it was stolen out of my driveway but I have to accept the blame I left the key under the seat like I have for 30 years I have lived here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Luckily it was recovered early on Saturday morning. The wrecker service that had it is only open Monday - Friday from 8to5 . That added 50$ to our bill in storage plus the 150$ tow charge. They told us on the phone it wasn't wrecked it had run out of gas. The driver had the sheriffs called because he was tweaking out going house to house asking for gas or gas money. The dumb Ass had 4 bags of meth on the seat. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> When the driver showed us where it was stored I asked where? He said that one ? I had to do a triple take the grill was missing the silver on the lower panel down the side had been painted black. Any white had been painted my sticker from Phil had been removed . There was bolt cutters in the bed and my Tool Box was gone . The tow truck man said that the boy was blacking it out to do break ins at night he had seen it before. I had a 5 gallon can of gas with me so I put about 2 gallons in the truck because it was on a slope. After a little grinding the engine caught and I moved it to the flat parking lot and put in some more gas to get me to a station (I hate vent less gas cans). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The drive home was ok, the truck ran good but one tire seemed a bit odd I'm going to have to check it and tie rods. As unfortunate as having it stole was I am lucky to have it back in drivable condition.</span><br />

I wish I had give in and done it years ago. Now I have always been a little on the cheap side But a cruise is a bargain for what it includes. I did snag a deal at 753$ we had a blast on the ship. The ports were just trying to pry as much money from us in as short a time as possible. 4 Nights and 28 meals (plus all the ice cream you can hold) ,while I couldn't eat much my wife had Hungarian short ribs one night, lamb shanks with roasted veggies and gravy the next. To start with she was humoring me but the shank she had 2 . She opened up and tried some curried chicken "a fail" but found hot Naan bread with butter and honey to be great. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Not everything was good my wife likes to be in crowds and the pool deck had that and music . So she spent most the trip up there , I stayed with her as much as I could but the nerve ear pain would start So I would hide in the salon deck better music "jazz" and adults sitting around. The noise level was much better. Had to go back up top for coffee refills but I didn't mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> If you have ever thought about a cruise my cheap ass thinks "Do It "!!! It has something for everyone. All told my wife had 8 mixed drinks and we bought 100 in gifts the daily tips was 112 plus I gave our cabin Stewart 30 cash as we left. I wanted to be sure he got it not a communal split like the other. The trip was 1056$ and a value.</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-77920786471488664032018-11-05T14:08:00.000-08:002018-11-06T15:20:01.092-08:00The best explanation of the 14th amendment and birthright citizenship i have ever read<span style="font-size: large;"> It seems being born here making you an immediate citizen is a relatively new thing.

It turns out it was check valve in the line from the radiator to transmission was clogging with gunk. The magnet in the pan and the filter was fairly clean no metal shavings found. That was my big concern it would have meant I would sell the damn thing. Now I am having a trans cooler installed he feels this will solve my towing problems. I want my wife and her sister to be able to camp after I am gone and a dependable tow vehicle is a Must.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> My mechanic David has a trans cooler out of a junker for 10$ The filter and gasket was 26$ but I need 6-8 quarts of ATF 4 . I offered him 80$ for to help cover parts but he said it would be Monday before mine got finished he had to fix his first but if I could do 130$ that would cover parts and labor. I think he needed the money to fix their truck his wife has always been hard on vehicles. I am happy our quickie oil place gets 89$ for a trans filter and fluid change and I think only the manager could spell CAR.</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-13848501718577358012018-11-01T12:50:00.001-07:002018-11-01T12:50:42.428-07:00Jeep liberty.<span style="font-size: large;"> I have wrote about getting our 2005 Jeep Liberty in previous posts and the rear end wiggle it had. Did you notice the word "had" yep I finally put it in the shop to be fixed. I had the lower and upper rear end bushing and arms replaced . I went by the shop 2 more bolts and the entire rear end would have come out . All the bushing showed excessive wear but the lower ones were shot. Parts were 130$ on amazon and David charged 150$ labor because the upper bushing were a bitch to get out. I have known David 19 years. His wife worked for me once upon a time . I had to fire her. But me and him always got along ok . He was a biker, well still is but he had a ruff time he lost a leg 12 years ago in a wreck. Drugs and depression made him a shell of his old self till about 4 years ago he snapped out of it and opened a home repair shop for bike's and some cars and trucks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> When I came to pick it up he said Megan their daughter had been talking about wanted a liberty or Renegade jeep for a few years . Mine was the first one he had drove he said he loved the handling now that it was fixed and understood why she wanted one. Now I need 4 new tires on it and its set for years as the wife's back-up. He has my truck now fixing a transmission leak changing the fluid and filter and if it looks strong putting on a cooler for it.</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-42445465750792806192018-10-27T06:57:00.001-07:002018-10-27T06:57:52.267-07:00Canned ham and beef any one?<span style="font-size: large;"> Since my ability to eat is diminished my nutritional needs remain. So I have had to find foods that can be pureed to a thin paste so it will go down. Now peas potatoes carrots and beans puree and still taste like what they are. The real problem has been protein . Hamburger and Pork are difficult to get fine enouph from raw.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Well my daughter brought in a can of Underwood Deviled ham. I haven't eaten a can since my grandmother was alive she liked it with egg salad as a sandwich. Now Underwood ham is a bit pricey . I had a canned ham here from Aldi's the last of 20 that I had 3 years ago. We like them sliced for sandwiches and flacked with scrambled eggs when camping. Most of the hams went to idiot son when he had no power before he found couch surfing. I have been putting a chunk of ham through a mini food chopper with Mayo and it has made a paste I have been eating a ton of with crackers. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I tried corned beef the same way and found I like the taste better than the ham. I have been eating pintos as refried beans after running them through the mini chopper . then I mixed the corned beef and beans together when I cooked the beans they were so good the wife even loved them (she hates corned beef from a can) and saved her some before I made mush . I may be down to pureed foods but the old fall back of canned storage meats is what is getting me trough this food crisis.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Did you know the USDA even grades meat down to a canning only grade. I never knew they had so many grades and can only was the lowest for human consumption. Who would dream the only meat I can eat are prime steak fat and canned meat at potted meat grind . LOL.</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-74530763717903041072018-10-22T19:14:00.001-07:002018-10-22T19:14:37.196-07:00Sheltered wife<span style="font-size: large;"> I never noticed but it seems I have taken care of my household pretty damn good . Me and the wife sat down to discuss the bills . It appears that my wife has no idea how to pay the bills ,what bills we have ,when there due or anything. I get all bills by E mail and pay them online except our water and gas. Those 2 company's are stuck in 1974. I mail them checks every 2 or 3 months . I showed the wife how to log on to pay the cable bill she did good the 23 rd time she tried. next will be the power I expect it to take longer as its 2 bills in one to be payed. Any way she should be able to do it by her self if she try's hard come April or May. I also showed her how the real food is bought every2 weeks that has to be cooked . NOT from dollar general.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have the Jeep being worked on now she plans to keep it as a back up for her car. I want the cars and truck in as good a shape as possible for her . Plus I will have good tires put on the Jeep and truck. Her son would help after I am gone but last set of tires he got he spent 1400 for the best . I plan on 700 for 2 good new sets. I spent the weekend doing work on the rental trailer . Jason our renter is like one of the kids but we like him . I have it in good shape hopefully nothing major will need to be done for a few years up there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Last Thursday I booked us a cruise on a last minute deal to the Bahamas on Royal Caribbean . 5 nights for 2 was only 750$ ocean view rooms. I am even thinking of a 3 day trip to the Smokey's next week as a surprise . I am checking room rates now to get a good deal if possible. It would be great if it flurried in the Mts then 5 days later we where sweating in Freeport. If you can't</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> tell I feel fine but have hit hyper mode.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I plan on taking care of a few more things ahead of time so it spares the wife doing it . Part is I love her ,part is she would be took and spend way to much . I have started a notebook for her all she has said " I am not stupid" but when asked what she would do or handle something she says I will be ok . Then she went back to a Facebook trance.</span><br />

The Doctor gave me the bad news last Thursday . I have 12 months give or take a few. I knew before I went the doctor I was to see immediately after him had a added specialty of palliative care. That's a doctor that over see,s hospice and knocks you out when the end is near. She reminded me of a sweet Aunt I named my youngest after. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Being told your dying is a bitch, its worst because I feel GOOD . I mean I am having trouble swallowing again but I am managing to get down enough food . I had prepared my wife so she was my rock . Telling the kids went as expected but when I had to go up and tell my MOM and brother I lost it. I am ok now but I have a lot to get done. Next week is a lawyer to do a will. I have a note book I am listing items the wife is to give to friends and relative's once I pass (damn writing and speaking "once I pass" feels weird ). I have a lot to sell because the wife would be lost getting rid of MY STUFF.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I had to send a letter to my cousin and uncle they have been trying to sell some property I'm half owner in. WE don't get along ,I demanded 60% low retail of my share to deed it to him . It will burn his ass to have to pay me himself but if he doesn't he has to contend with my wife and 3 kids to make a sale. My kids make what resterraunt for a birthday into a cluster fuck and he knows it. I gave him 60 days or no deal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Yea im rambling so I will end this post just wanted to put it out here .</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-75764185591962941102018-10-02T17:50:00.000-07:002018-10-02T17:50:48.503-07:00I am still around.<span style="font-size: large;"> Sorry for not posting for so long . I haven't been feeling great still don't . I have been having a lot of sharp pain in my throat to my ear. Its a ghost pain caused by nerves according to the doctor like when someone loses a leg and it itches. Mine is caused by swelling of the nerve bundle . Friday I go in to have my throat stretched and biopsies took . My eating should improve and decrease the pain. It has been 359 days since they removed the cancer so I need to let them poke around and check it out.</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-81743020021669751372018-09-17T16:20:00.001-07:002018-09-17T16:20:34.332-07:00My son is stupid and home. <span style="font-size: large;"> Yep took less than a week for my son to screw up and get tossed out on his ear. It took 5 days of his whining before the owner of the driving school told him he had 4 hours to leave the school and have his S@#$% out of the hotel. I was afraid this would be what would happen his mouth overloaded his ass with folks that could care less . Friday I had to make the 140 mile round trip to haul him back. On Saturday I found out he went to the school because the friends he had been staying with most the time told him to take his Mooching Ass elsewhere they where tired of him . Now he is with another friend till he does the same thing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Did I mention my Kids take after My Ex. They look like me but act like her. I cant denied them as being mine but Damn they got to change!!!!!!!</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-22373601268498529722018-09-10T18:21:00.000-07:002018-09-10T18:21:47.154-07:00Saw my son off to school. <span style="font-size: large;"> Friday both my daughters informed me that my son was going to leave for Truck Driving school Sunday. He has talked about going for the last 5 years. Well I just waved goodbye as they left to make it for next 3weeks of classes that start in the morning. I was baffled by him having to be there on Sunday but he said it was today at 4 or in the morning at 7. I wish him luck and hope he gets his CDL .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ok I didn't finish this post yesterday because when my son arrived at the driving school it was a cluster @#$% . I had my doubts about it but he swore he had researched them. They did a bait and switch on him . He was told his sponsor/truck line was evergreen but when he got there they had no record of it but they had a sponsor in PAM trucking available. PAM,s pay and mileage sucks they have a record of firing short of 12 months and demanding tuition reimbursement. I told him go for it once he has the CDL he will have options . Back in the 90s I worked in Trucking as a dock Forman and Dispatcher for a Major carrier . </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> As a single man my son has an opportunity to make some major money If he is willing to roll. </span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073353010463155346.post-30562274644713047992018-09-05T12:33:00.000-07:002018-09-05T12:33:28.448-07:00Long weekend <span style="font-size: large;"> With last weekend being Labor Day I did BBQ again . I had 6 butts pre sold and wound up cooking and selling 20 . I think it may have been my last time . I made a nice profit for the time and money but it wasn't Fun . I always enjoyed doing it before but this time it felt like I was just going through the motions. I will have to see how I feel about it in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I had planned on going out west this month but my wife isn't willing unless I make a hard time line and reservations for the whole trip. If I left by my self we all know how that would end. So I have agreed to sit on the couch with her till death it seems.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> On a brighter note I did fix the tractor that had a missing freeze plug. The old one tapped right back into place simple as can be. It also had a split hose I cut down and reclamped . With Fall almost here its time to get anti freeze and add to all the vehicle's . You know when you have 8 radiators to treat it gets expensive quick.</span>Gary in Bamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00095999376990912465noreply@blogger.com5
