September 21

Yesterday was, and we're glad that we were/was a part of it, tho dragging a little from the day/night before, we made it again. "LIFE IS FOR THE LIVING"!

Our workaholic neighbor, engineer, operator, foreman, estimator, truck driver, job superintendent, main laborer, lead man, instructor and the one I've been saving to add, our friend, had an electric motor needing repair, so we loaded up the left over stuff (blocks) and doing some of his truck driving part, he hauled them back to Camdenton. We dropped off the motor at the repair place and proceeded to the block place to unload and get our credit.

The wall is up but a long ways from being finished so a little of that is on the list that Glenda made out for me covering this day. She has mowing the lawn, using the weed-eater, the blower as well as trimming the ivy and bushes listed too. I might save her some time in the morning as a new list in the morning might not be necessary. We will possibly......probably have a big enough list left over from today's.

So far this morning, before I got her list, I burned cement bags, all the dug up Yucca plants, the trimmed pine tree limbs and other miscellaneous burnable items. I've generally cleaned up the drive and garage area and hauled the non-burnable stuff to the trash. I've been to the dock, looking things over, as we have not taken any time to check on it for several days. There is a nut that keeps working loose and if the bolt that it holds should fall out...........big time trouble. I've banged the exposed threads several times making that possibility a lesser chance but you never know. I walked down to the corner to meet with the guy that is picking up the mini-excavator this morning only to discover he had already made the move. Now I'm trying to type this and it seems to be the hardest job so far.

Being as how I really don't want to work much I'm stopping this here.

"As I have said time and again, 9/11 changed everything. Everything, that is, except the national Democrats' shameful, manic obsession with bringing down a commander-in-chief. John Kerry has been wrong many times, but he's never been more wrong than in his failure to support our troops and our commander in chief in this war on terror. So, my critics can call me a psychopath and fire spitballs at me and froth at the mouth when an ex-president sends me a nasty letter. That's the freedom of speech they all enjoy, courtesy of the American soldier." --Zell Miller
