February 16, 2026

                I would like to wish you a good morning on this holiday, it is Presidents' Day and I do not have to take Alex to school as he is out of school today. I assume that means I have a day off too.

                Today I need to go to the store and start buying some things like grocery items, but I also need some fertilizer for the yard and some fire ant killer and things like that. The yard is ready to be worked so my yard man Alex is going to have to come over and work for me or else I'll have to do the work myself.

                I have again completed my income tax forms, this is the second set of forms, and come up with the same situation, "I owe money". What I find odd is I normally would get a few $100 back each year and this year since we received a little more from social security and a few dollars more in interest, I need to pay. Ole people on a fixed income should not need to pay taxes.

                Yesterday morning at about 11:00 I decided to go to the cracker store and get some lunch. I placed my order to go and I asked, "Do I get a free cup of coffee". The young man said yes and brought me a free cup of coffee. Unfortunately, it was very hot and the first sip I took burnt the roof of my mouth and now my mouth hurts.

Back at home lunch was good and there's enough leftovers that we will have it same thing for supper. My favorite wife and I did sit outside yesterday enjoying the afternoon warmth, it was a little breezy but a very nice afternoon.

                We have no big plans for today although if everything goes right, I might go to a different Chevrolet dealer and see what they've got. I would like it if the dealer I was at the last time would call and give me the money that I'd asked for the van, and I would buy the vehicle from them. I guess we'll figure it out sooner or later.

                Our bible study will be via computer this evening. They say they are working on some electrical situations at the church. The last time they were on the computer my computer did not want to work.

                Well, I can't think of much else to say or do so I think I'll stop and say to you, I hope you have a good day, be safe and all you do and be nice to others.

                Don the Ford


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