September 5

Just checked our numbers for the Wednesday Missouri lottery, (2.2 million) and the Power Ball, (35 million). We won't be leaving here early nor will we be sending you any spare cash. The next Lottery will be worth 2.5 million and the Power Ball will be 54 million so don't count us out yet. One of the first things we'll need to do is come up with the two dollars needed to buy the tickets. I've about got enough cans crushed to cover that cost and might even have enough to swing an extra ticket. 29.1 million if you take the cash up front instead of over 20 years isn't all that bad either. We're just facing a terrible dilemma trying to decide which way to go.

No boats out yet but that will change dramatically in a flash. Splishing and splashing will be under way big time in less than an hour. I can hardly wait! I don't even wear my hearing aids because of the noisy loud boats but the sound still slips through. I'm having a terrible time trying to ignore them. Sitting in the house the noise still permeates through the place keeping me about half mad all of the time. You would think a person could get used to it. I think I don't want to..............Please someone, bring us $300,000. We'll throw in the bass boat!

I found a reconditioned prop for the bass boat last fall at a garage sale. Bargain price of $5.00. Hope it fits. I may see if I can get the motor started later this week and install the new prop. I have not felt a need to start the bass boat yet this year. We have taken the Tritoon out about three or four times. Not much of a water people anymore. We need to move it on outta here.

I'm going to move it on outta this chair right now............................

I guess moving from here wouldn't do us much good unless we can change our heads.
