Glenda's mother and Aunt Sue is on their way from Jeff City to our house, or will be soon, if the laid out plan works. They intend to take Glenda for her treatment today and then after a meal out, try to teach Glenda a few more lessons on the proper way to shop and look for bargains. I've got my measuring stick out to check the difference in cost of her shopping with them or meeting them at the boat. I'm betting the shopping will be the most economical of the two but of course me driving her over there and back would still most likely be the cheapest by far. I'm going to look up the word cheapskate later. I wonder where/how that originated?

My plans are to check the tritoon motor out again then report my findings to the repair man. I also need to make a cover for the septic tank. There is a neck that has a cover on it at ground level but down inside that neck about four feet is the hole to the septic tank proper and the cover for that hole was broken during the repairs. I suspect that job will be a bit crappy. As you know I have a smeller that might be a little larger than a normal one. Right now I'm thankful for the joke life played on me because even with all that extra room for receptors I can't smell any better than anyone else.

There was a time when people poked fun at the size of my nose and a few times too when it was just poked at. Anyway I devised a plan that worked. I built the size of my body (stomach) up which put my nose in a more proportional size to the rest of me.....No more jokes as to the nose size. I'm just not sure that the belly jokes are any more kind but at least no one takes a poke at it.

I doubt that either job will meet my preferred job description of pleasurable but what needs to be done needs to be done.
