Well Tuesday was another busy day that saw high heat and humidity by afternoon. The morning was beautiful with a heavy dew and cool temps with the birds singing on my bike ride to the Red around 8'ish for some hour plus of pickle ball. I'm thrilled to be back on the court after over 3 months of being idle physically. I'm slowly but surely getting my stamina back as well.
After leaving the Rec on my bike I decided to start painting the front wrought iron porch railing and what a job that turned out to be. It was very tedious as well with such small curves and figures to paint around. Thankfully I had some painters tape which helped or I would have had another painting job. I didn't check the paint but it was oil base which made it even harder on the cleanup and some mistakes that will require a touch up paint, oh well. I was in the bright sunshine during this event which by lunchtime was very hot. We had to take a break and visit our financial man around 11:30 and despite the market being what it is I'm in decent shape which means I'll leave my kids and grandkids some funds after I'm gone. I haven't touched any of my long term retirement DROP benefits when I left the patrol for the extra 5 years. Those 5 extra years were awesome for my retirement and my financial guy did a great job with doing what was best for us. He is like a brother since we have known him for over 25 years, a strong christian and family man as well as a strong conservative plus he grew up in farm country in Indiana.
Nancy headed off to Wal-Mart after getting back from our session an a bite of lunch. I finish up on the porch for the first coat since that railing hasn't seen any paint in over 40 plus years since the vine covered it when we bought the house. It took a lot of prep work but its firm and still in decent shape except for paint. Once I complete the second coat I'll repaint the porch floor as well. Amy won't have to contend with that vine which gave her a fit, trimming it over the summer months, oh well.
I spoke with the VA and they would not help me with the Eliquis script as they use a different blood thinner which has all kinds of side effects, any how I'll use the Canadian Pharmacy until I get on Medicare plan D which will save a bunch of bucks. You would think after serving my country both in the military and law enforcement I could get a break, but no. They give these illegals free every thing and welcome them into our country but can not take care of a patriot, LATER
