Well Tuesday morning was anything but usual as I had to fast for a blood draw at the Bay Pines VA Hospital. I awakened about the same time as my internal alarm goes off around 6 or a little before every day. I had a cup of hot water while I posted this ramble and spent some quiet time with my Creator. I had bagged my vitamins and supplements to take with me so after the blood draw I found a water fountain and downed them. I left my truck over at Twill Auto for an oil change and a radiator flush with new coolant added for the first time since owning the truck.
I made a stop at Wal-Mart on the way for the oil, filter and coolant which was right next door to the hospital. I made the walk over to the hospital which was probably a good 3/4 quarters of a mile each way but what a glorious walk as the air was crisp from the overnight chill and the sound of the birds singing. Spring time is definitely here in Florida and the new light green leaves were evident on the oak trees. The lab section of the hospital was filled with close to a hundred veterans waiting for their turn and they took about 20 or so at a time. This draw was unusual for me as they only needed one vial whereas its usually at least two or more vials. I was out of the lab despite the number waiting in less than an hour.
I headed home to hand water the gardens until it was time to pick up GG and bring her for lunch. We made a stop at her bank on the way. Bobby, Amy and Eliza came for lunch. I finished up some leftovers and the rest had salad and deli sandwiches. Afterwards I retired to the reading room until it was time to take GG to my financial advisor and broker where she was introduced to him and his new associate who will manage her accounts. The broker at her bank wasn't handling her account responsibly so we made the change plus they never consulted her on their buying thus she was paying high rates to them and she never got any funds added to her account. Hopefully she will be satisfied as I have been with my broker and advisor.
I took her home and checked out her new insurance bill for her car which she doesn't drive. So today we will head to the insurance agent and check out why their rates are so steep. I'm also checking out the idea of leasing a new truck so I'm getting lots of feed back from dealers and almost right away got some calls on my inquiry. We will take this up idea seriously in the near future as my present truck in an '06 but still in great running condition and paid for; actually we paid cash in '06. The idea of a new truck every three years sounds great as well but there is the trade off of having no equity or resale, oh well.
I grilled bone-in pork chops along with fresh asparagus. Asparagus on the grill is the way to go as it just takes a few minutes and oh so tasty. I put them on the last 5 minutes along with the chops and they were accompanied by a fresh garden salad, yeow!!! After the cleanup which was mostly adding the rinsed dishes to the dish washer we settled into the FOX Cable news. The Dem's are such hypocrites and obstructionist that it's almost criminal in how they are trying to destroy this presidents agenda. They have no concern for the country or our success and the grilling of this Scotus candidate is without warrant. I'm afraid the nation is so divided by the liberals we may never recover except an all out revolution between the left(libs) and the right(conservatives). They are letting illegals infiltrate the schools who are criminals and now we see the rape of a young girls in one of the high schools by two illegals who should have been deported, LATER
