September 14, 2024

            Good morning to one and all, yes even you, we hope all have a good Saturday and a good morning. We did nothing yesterday. I did finish watering the flower pots that did not get watered yesterday afternoon due to the Football game.

            I did follow my favorite wife suggestion to tighten all the bolts on the swing. All but two needed to be tightened and the two that did not need tightening had lock nuts on them. I did get on the ground several times to get to the bolts, and now I have chiggers. Fingernail polish applied; I hope that takes care of it.

Completing that work, I went to the shed an got a ladder which I brought to the driveway. The light over the driveway has not been working properly, I put the ladder up by the light which is about 12 feet above the drive. I climbed the ladder and replaced the PE control. Pe control in my hand I climbed down.

I re-climbed the ladder and removed the light bulb. I decided to take a photo of the info on the bulb so I climbed down, and took the photo.

I then climbed the ladder again to replace the bulb and it broke, with the glass in my hand and the base in the light. I then climbed down again and got a pair of pliers to remove the base from the light.

I climbed the ladder again and removed the base from the light. Then I took the ladder back to the shed and I decided that I would not climb back up to the light again. I will ask Dave or Alex to climb back up the ladder and replace the bulb, when I get one. I am 77 years old and I do not need to be on a ladder that high.

We went outside to sit, and our friend came over, and this time she brough her bible. We had some lively discussions about Revelations, she gave me her thoughts and I gave her mine. I think we agreed toward the end of the discussion.

Well, I don’t have any big plans for today, we will likely follow our usual schedule and go into Waco for lunch, stop at the cheap store and see if we need anything, and we might go to a store and see if we can get some HT tape. My wife has been having trouble finding it, I assume they are out do to all the schools and the athletics. HT tape is for pain and athletes who have strains and other pain, they put the tape on and it relieves the pain. It works on non-athletes too.

I have a photo taken this morning when Tres and I ventured into the front yard.


           The photo shows a bright, soon to be sunny morning. We hope everyone has a good Saturday and that we all stay safe in all we do.

Clouds be bright.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
