Friday Morning March 11th

 Well we finally got a little rain last evening, wasn't a down pour but any wetness is a blessing which also dropped the heat and humidity down to tolerable. I finally finished with the well and the pump after another trip to the hardware store to replace a cross threaded galvanized tee which had caused me to have nightmares trying to figure why there was still a leak inside the garage when the pump was off. After once again taking everything apart the only thing that wasn't new was this small tee, so I did the smart thing to do and wouldn't you know it was the culprit, oh well. I sweated through a shirt and when I got on the scale after lunch and a shower I had gained a pound, what's with that.

I headed down to the VA after lunch just as we started to get some sprinkles and when I came out after an hour and half the roads and the ground was wet. I had a hearing test and sure enough the results were worst than when I last has the test in 2014 so I'm getting aides in both ears. Seems I'm having trouble hearing consonants according to the doctor so the VA will provide them for me with a recharger free of charge.

I headed over to Sam's Club for gas at 4.22 a gallon and some other goodies before driving home in a light rain. We were sure in need of rain and I didn't have to water the gardens but once in the morning after putting the pump back together. I'm getting stronger every day and will attempt to play some pickle ball starting Monday at the rec. I'm hoping the VA will help me with this Eliquis that I have to take for the rest of my life since its so expensive at Walgreens. If not I'll have to wait until next open enrollment with Medicare plan D which is in November, oh well, LATER
