My leg has been feeling better so I stayed busy around the house all weekend.
Did some work in the gardens this weekend. Pulled up most of the greens and got those beds ready for okra and peppers. Planted some seeds(tomatoes, peppers, and chard) in small cups for some later planting. Cucumbers, beans, onions, seminole pumpkins, peppers, carrots, luffa, and carrots are doing well. I got my first banana flower last week as well.
Fixed the back door by replacing some shorter screws in the hinges with longer screws. Closes nice and easy now.
Made breakfast Saturday morning. Cooked chicken and sausage on the grill, fresh carrots and collards, and jasmine rice Saturday evening. Even cleaned up the kitchen for the wife all weekend.

Nitrous and a turbo would be killer. 2 bolt mains wouldn't hold up long though. I think Tony's longevity idea would be gone. Could drop a nice 302 in there then.

My meeting in Miami was cancelled today so I can stay home and receive the furniture for the new house the Admiral wanted. And the guy with the generator survey. Think I will mosey down to the HOA office and ask them some questions, not that they would have any answers. This retiring thing is nice.

Congrats again on retirement. Stay busy and let it come to you. You’ll get the hang of it in no time.

Hoping to get my wife out of the hospital today. She needs to pass a PT test and get her potassium levels up is what I'm told.
They want to send her to a "rehab' facility but that is not gonna work, she was there before and said "NEVER AGAIN" and i concur, those "rehab, "skilled nursing facilities" are a fucking joke. I just pray that I am able to care for her properly when she gets home. We will have home health care set up with nurses and PT and OT..........so thats good. Keep praying for us guys.

Tough row to hoe mack. Learn to pace yourself. Take advantage of inhouse care and get away for awhile when you can. While you're taking of her, take care of yourself. We'll keep both of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Every illness and every family is different. The caregiver is the one that knows and understands their loved one the best. Make your decision and do not second guess or blame yourself if things go south. We can offer prayers and good thoughts from here, hopefully you have local family and friends that can walk beside you. Peace to you and yours.

Well Cad didn't like me being nice. So that stung a little bit.
But, this morning we did a benefit thing for the local families. We raffled off trips with local guides who donated their time. Stores and shops closed today, so we had a good crowd of tourists.
We raised almost 15K. I made it 20k. Distributed all of it to deserving families so they can have a proper Easter weekend with their families.
I feel so blessed.

Read some of the news, answered a few emails, then worked on one of the electric carts (solenoid) and buttressed the well cover that failed when we put in the new brass gate valve that fits the 2 inch line we use to fill the 500 gallon tow behind tank we use for burning......all that while waiting for the darn GNATS to disparate enough to where we could go work on items in the woods. Once the gnats had tailed off loaded up the mower and a couple of different kinds of herbicide, ran up to the main gate and cleaned that all up. On the way back stopped off and treated some tropical soda apple ( invasives ). Mixed up yet a different herbicide......triclopyr ( 20% ) and diesel......and spent the next couple of hours treating palmetto in a couple of burn units. Had a 10 minute nap in the front seat of the truck......really needed that. Then........raked up some ling leaf pine straw from a stand we burned a couple of weeks ago so we could take it back to the house in Fruit Cove.......real long leaf pine straw is $6 for a pitiful little 15-20 pound bail......picture of that attached. Finally.....changed the grapple out on the tractor to the bucket, followed Louann up to the sand hill where we loaded the truck with rocks/dirt which we then went and fixed a few spots in the road that the rain has been hard on. Really needed the Pabst that got consumed while we spread the dirt/rocks at about 5:30......
