Well March 3rd is a special day for me as well as the wife as its her 65th birthday and its the day in 1966 when I enlisted in the USAF and headed off to Texas.
Wednesday was another busy day and I'm getting stronger daily. I piddled around trying to get this pump for the well to prime and it just wouldn't so Nancy talked me into replacing it with a new pump, so I loaded the old one I just had repaired into the truck and will drop it off today(Thur) at Ace hardware to see about matching up a pump to fit the area where the old one was. Its a tight spot and I was bending over a lot trying to get the old one to work and I can feel the old back starting to tell me to let someone else install the new pump, oh well. It's tough getting old.
I did get in a bike ride and stopped and talked with an old fishing buddy who is in bad shape. He is deaf, can't walk but gets around on a scooter and still lives alone. Wade was outside in the yard soaking up the sun when I rode by. I hadn't seen or talked to him in years but he yelled out as I rode by so I stopped and chatted. He reads lips but really is in sad shape and insists he will not go in a nursing home because his wife Sue passed away in one 2 years ago. They use to baby sit Bobby and Amy back when and are sweet folks. I came back and we had a lite lunch before I headed out to sit in the back yard and read for a couple hours. I did take another bike ride to the library for a couple new reads and then used city water to wet the garden plants. I harvested some Swiss chard for our supper and it was delicious.
We didn't watch the inept potus Biden give his speech but from what I saw he is still in a fog and still anti American. Our trouble here at home and abroad are a result of his inept policies and his corrupt administration and his trying to placate the socialist on the Left in his party with destroying America and make us weak. Russia and China have become embolden with his lack of leadership and his people, most of which are the same as the ones Obama used and who I believe is still calling the shots in this government, LATER
