Out of My Mind board

Here it is Memorial day and I am sitting in my office blogging. I am soooooo board I can't even explain my situation. I ride my scooter but there is no where to go. I don't believe it has the power to climb a mountain, so I am restricted to the valley. The valley is boring. There are casinos with buffets and I don't need that. I have the last chemo raging in my system so I am too tired to put the top down on the mustang. The sun would cook be like a smoked turkey and then I would be in even worse condition. I have patched my sailboat! I believe I will be on the water by this weekend! The gopher has won again. I need to get a better trap, those Chinese people can't engineer a decent rodent trap so I will go with a more expensive American made. I shall prevail!

Loved the pictures of the peeps! It is a good thing that the grandchildren look like me!

Love you all    very much

No action

The gopher has not attempted to seal the hole in which the trap lie, so today he has once again out foxed me. I am in no hurry as was Bill.

The sailboat is still damaged. Procrastination is thinking the project to death before you do it. My usual method is, do it .... then fix it to make it work.

The are arresting citizens today for "Red Suspenders Day" in Gridley. They post a bail and you stay in jail until some one bails you out. I am on the lamb. I don't have that many friends here.

Just thought I would say Hi!
Loved the Graduation Pics

Missed again

He is a relative of the "Caddy Shack" gopher. For days he avoided my trap, then tripped it by covering it with dirt. To my credit I am using a trap made in China that has a huge design flaw. When it is tripped the trip mechanism pushes the gopher out of the trap there by saving its life! I believe I need to rent "Caddy Shack" for a few tips.

The time is short for gopher!

Fixed!

I'm riding down 99 and my scooter starts sounding like a Harley! I think, Thank you God for transforming water into wine and a Chineese scooter into an American Harley! Then I realized my muffler had broken in half! Thankfully I found and old timer blackshith who knows a challenge when he sees one. His comment was, "There's nothing to weld to." I must have been my sad face that caused him to try any way .... And HE DID IT! Now I am quiet again. No more Harley ... yet!

CA out.

It's me or him

I can't walk across the lawn because this gopher has, for years, been tunneling constantly. It is dry here most of the year so when mowing you can't see where you have been or where you are going, just large clouds of dust that Mr Gopher has caused by placing in my path mounds of dirt. The war is on!
I have never fiber glassed before so it may become a sub. Ordered a repair kit on line but no instructions came with it. Being a man .... I will figure it out ... or throw the boat away and hope no one asks where it went.

R U Kidding Me?

It is 5:30 Saturday Afternoon when my worship leader came into my office and said, "I need to resign!" My response was "When are you thinking?" He responds "Immediately, I have been thinking about this for some time and it isn't working out." My response "YOU HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR SOME TIME AND TODAY ON SATURDAY YOU TELL ME YOU WON'T BE HERE TOMORROW!!!! GIVE ME YOU KEY AND GET YOUR CRAP OUT OF THE OFFICE!!! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO AMERICA? I GAVE A 22 YEAR OLD KID $250 BUCKS FOR 4 SONGS ON A GIVEN SUNDAY AT FIVE MINUTES A SONG. NO ONE INTERFERED WITH HIS CHOICE OR DECISIONS.

I BEEN THINKING SOMETHING HAS GONE VERY WRONG. BAD PARENTING IS THE CULPRIT.

CA WITH NO MUSIC .... OUT

OK I GIVE

Something new in blogging ... don't they know I am old and hate change? What a louse week last week was. Monday I had to go to the Dr. Tuesday was a day off. Wednesday was Chemo. Thursday was sitting at a Presbyterian tribunal and loosing my medical insurance. Thursday more chemo. Friday a call from the board of Pensions stating I could not retire and continue working at Gridley. Saturday I was sick to the point of dog dung and spent the entire day in bed. Sunday I made it to church and spent the rest of the day in bed. My back is in such pain I can barley walk. And it is getting better!

Been riding my scooter just to aggravate the back pain and got a bee down my shirt. That was fun. I am wondering what all of this is about. I will find out when He tells me, until then I will be still.
