And it’s half-assed wet outside. Had to make a run to the Naval Hospital to turn in that monitor thingie I had to wear while sleeping Saturday night. Kinda half way misting before the rain that’s supposed to show up this afternoon. Guess I’m not mowing the lawn today! Or doing much of anything else outside.

Was scanning some of my old negatives and found this. Probably the best picture ever taken of me. Man, that was a long time ago. My (Future)-Ex (at the time) and I posed in one of those oldie photo’s at Knox Berry Farm or someplace. Who knows. (Yeah, I obviously cut her out.)

Did get out just long enough to pick some maters that were turning pink. Have since watched it go from a light misting to rain to just wet outside. Ugh.

Took my medication on an empty stomach this morning, when I got back from the Naval Hospital, and I’ve been kind of groggy/unmotivated most of the day. Ever stand in a room looking around and wonder where you were going to start? I have. Several times today. It’s almost a case of too much I want to do but not enough motivation to get started someplace. IF I can figure out where I want to start.

Been “Vaping” for the past couple of years. Helped me quit smoking. Usually stick to the tobacco flavors. Lately it just doesn’t seem to be working as well. Danged Atomizers don’t last long enough (though they are still cheaper than smokes) and just don’t seem to produce enough vaper or “throat hit.” I’m really getting kind of disillusioned with it all. Not enough to go back to smoking; that was a 40+ year ride I was glad to get off of. Damn This Addictive Personality Anyway!

Dang! Was just looking up a friend on QRZ and found out he died last June! Bill Parfitt (K7CZ) and I used to run the dBored BBS down in San Diego a LONG time ago. Hadn’t really contacted him since we left San Diego until last year when I looked up a call sign on a picture in Easypal and it turned out to be him.

So I immediately went and looked up the –Ex’s call…

For some reason I had to go pick SWMBO up tonight. That’s okay though cause I do not mind. I like being with her and help her where I can. She’s my schweetie!

But it wasn’t easy. No. Wait. It was pretty easy. Too Cloudy, with the occasional downpour so I didn’t get outside long. Although there was that one 10 minute stretch where the sun came out and it was really rather nice. If it hadn’t been cloudy it would have been 90 degrees out there. Sun felt nice!

But I still didn’t get much done today. Regular chores naturally and checked the mail. But other than that I spent way too much time on my computer. Well, I just had to watch the last three episodes of NCIS from last season so I could move on to  this year’s shows.

Thought I heard a bit of thunder earlier so I unplugged the antenna’s from my radio. The chances of lightning hitting my antenna’s is pretty slim, but why take a chance? I just don’t have the $800 available to buy a new one.

Looked up Knish. I don’t know that I’d ever heard of them before. Seems interesting and I may try to make some one day. I do enjoy cooking; when I get to cook for more than 1 person. But I found I don’t like cooking in a restaurant setting. Which I did try a couple of times. Hell, I even went to school to be a chef at one time. Wound up a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy instead. But I still like cooking.

And that’s really it. I’m sure y’all aren’t interested in my failed dreams, nor my daily, boring (to you) life; but it’s all I have. Why do I keep this blog? Because. That’s it. Just because. I live the average old retired guy American life. To those overseas it’s not all rodeo’s and BBQ’s or surfing. We work. Clean house. Just try to survive another day with our loved ones.
