Thursday Morning Nov 17th

 Well Wednesday was a busy day that started with a well before 6 roll out to my usual routines that start with my quiet time after posting this ramble, giving thanks and lifting several up by name. I finished up my talk with my Creator on my bike ride to the Rec a little before 8. I got in a good work out for close to 2 hours on the court but many of the better players stayed away as there were lots of beginners present which doesn't make for good play but since its open to the public you either play with them or leave. I played several games helping those who want to learn and play better. I enjoy instructing but a few are stone deaf to any help.

I came back and checked the gardens and noticed I now have 1/2 runner green beans breaking ground after just being in the ground 4-5 days. Everything is doing good and we had rain over night so I didn't have to hand water. I purchased a new tracfone which looks and acts as a smart phone like Nancy's but trying to get it activated was a chore as no one speaks clear english with that company. I also wanted to transfer the over 3 thousand minutes onto this new phone with the same number, but that didn't happen quite like they promised when I purchased the phone. I did get a new number which is nice because now I won't get tons of political messages. I could call out but could not get calls in especially from Helen in the mountains. I later called neighbor Gerald there and he did call back and I was able to receive his call. For some reason Helen was unable to get through despite several attempts. I think I spoke with her a dozen times to no avail. I spent close to two hours on the phone with the company but I eventually got service. I only want this phone because its a hundred bucks a year and I use it mainly for when Nancy and I are separated or in an emergency.

I headed to the VA for my 6 months regular visit and then for my eye exam. All seem to be normal with good blood results and vital's. I've made a complete recovery from the covid pneumonia and the blood clots in the lungs, however it seems I'll be on the blood thinner until the end according to the doctors since I have a track record of clots from way back, Oh well. I've signed up for the drug part of medicare which should help with the cost of the drug called Eliquis. I stopped by Sam's Club on the way home from the VA and the gas was 2.98 a gallon and there must have been a hundred cars waiting to fill up and no wonder as just next door it was 3.49, thats 52 cents a gallon on savings. Wow and most every station showed the same price or even higher.

We had fresh pea pods stir fried with some shrimp, onions and celery for our supper which was very tasty. I had my glass of red vino and then after the clean up we settled into the Fox News channel for a spell. I'm so tired of the corruption being played out by this administration I headed in to watch some videos on the history channel on my laptop. The Republicans took the house which should help with curbing this inept potus plans to socialize the nation and hold them accountable on spending, but I was hoping for a complete red wave but the offer of paying for college debt brought out the young millennials to vote for the corrupt dem's and then abortion was completely blown out of proportion by the corrupt MSM with  pro-choice. It should be murder of the helpless and innocent but they make it out to be a woman's decision and give no decision the the fetus.

I now hope the Repub's investigate the corruption in D.C. with those in this administration, the FBI and the dem's who are complicit with our enemies like China and Russia. We need term limits and some folks to be incarcerated for their activities in helping our enemies get a foot hold in our nation and hopefully patriots will finally make a stand against these who want to destroy US(A).
