Saturday as well. Cool outside. The weather gurus told me there is a 30 temperature difference between north Florida and south Florida. We started today in the 50's. Up by Tallahassee in the low 30's. The Corvettes look a lot better with the nose bras. Covers up the worst imperfections in the paint. Can't hurt what is already damaged.

Definitely not driving them enough. They are withering on the vine. Now if I had a new car, say a C-8, I have a regular 120 mile round trip that would fit perfectly into the profile. And I could go hang out with my good friend in Sebring that also owns a C-8. He goes out with the Corvette geezers for breakfast every now and then. He is also 68 and is the young one at the tables.
 I'm kinda liking a convertible with a Z-51 package. Sue would be ALL IN. Though Sue's 87 911 is also not getting lots of mileage either. She does take it out every once and awhile though. Maybe twice a month.

Washed the Corvettes and the Suburban yesterday. Put a nose bra on the 91. Going to put one on the 90 as well. They will cover some deteriorating paint and cosmetically make the cars look so much better. Dismal morning with rain till this afternoon. So, I'm going to run some errands this morning and pick up a few things I need. That way when the rain stops I can get a few things done. Went to run the 91 yesterday and out of the blue she just lost power. Runs at idle but no acceleration. Fuel filter or a wire disconnected methinks. AND the brake lights aren't working.  Have to get leaking tire checked on the 90 and the A/C has to be recharged. It has a slow refrigerant leak. Not even getting into the 928 yet. All this  has me thinking I need a vehicle the a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty.  ....

Time to ramp up efforts to sell 3 cars. Someone has been hounding me to prep them for presentation. Today I will wash and drive them all. Sue has an interested party in the 91 vette convertable. The paint is aging and clear is starting to break down in some areas on the vettes. The body on the 928 needs to be redone completely. I bought nose bras for both vettes to enhance appearance. Everthing runs but as in any 30-40 year old cars there is stuff that needs attention. I know if I put them out by the nursery they will sell. That's what's on my plate today. Never a dull day.

Oh the stories I could tell ...... but won't. We had a good crowd over for Christmas. Not too big, not too small. 25 people ate and enjoyed each others company. It rained off and on throughout the day so we were pretty much restricted to the patio. Got uo this morning and decided I have had my fill of the Season for this year, so I put all the inflatables and stuff around the house away. Getting back to normal, if there is such a thing. We had deboned chicken, brisket and shrimp to choose from and a number of sides and desserts. Sue looked in the fridge last night and found a cake she forgot to put out. We have enough leftovers to eat for a few days. Next up, New Year's Eve and Day. Probably go to the casino for that and sleep NYD away. Onward we go.

And I'm working my ass off like I do every year. Told Sue this was the last year for the party. I might change my mind but the party gets smaller every year. Still might have a small gathering in years ahead. Sue's in the kitchen. I finished the yard pretty much by Thursday and yesterday finshed pressure washing. Did some house cleaning yesterday as well. Today was more house cleaning for me. Pretty well done with that now as well. Sue complained about which vacuum cleaner I was using. I told her she is one of the few women that would complain about a husband cleaning house.  Few small things to do. Tomorrow set up a few games and set up the coolers and help with the food layout. A lot of work for a party that will only last about 4 hours. From 1-5 PM Merry Christmas my friends and to even those that aren't.

New electric gate opener being installed today. They are pouring the pad now. They will come back later to install the motor and chain. That's what we 're getting for Christmas. One of those unplanned gifts.

Grey skies but no rain. been busy. yesterday turned out to be a consultation, not surgery. Two MOHS surgery dates in late Jan and mid Feb. MY FIL's house got broken into. They smashed his custom sized sliding glass door to gain access. Alarm was not set because of a alarm dead battery. They got off with a .45 cal handgun and other undetermined things. The scumbags were driving a U-Haul van. No doubt they cased the joint but didn't take much. Party prep continues. Have all the seating covered. A place to sit for over a hundred. lol Expect somewhere around 30. All time high was about 95 people I believe but that was several years before covid struck. Lots of those no longer with us. And if they are with us they are with us in spirit.

The gate security light died. It's only a year old or so. guess the wiring got wet with the deluge we just had. The wind and rain has died down today. Maybe we can resume what Florida is best known for as The Sunshine State. Not sure if I had three things break yet but we had a power outage yesterday afternoon that totally f@(%ed up my plans. I had to start up the generator to keep the air bubbles flowing in the fish pond. Runs all the 110/120 stuff in the house as well. Like the old saying goes. Do you want to make God laugh? Tell Him you've got plans.

Dreary day. Sue called me for some help at the nursery tightening cable lines that hold up trees. It's been drizzley and windy for three days. Tomorrow it's supposed to be worse. Sunday doesn't look great. Still, there are things that must be done, rain or shine. I have 4 days to try and get stuff done before MOHS surgery on 4 locations. I'm thinking that's gonna put a damper on what I can do before the party on the 25th. And Sue keeps calling me with honey-do's. What else can I say but f@(% it. It is what it is .......

The world was better when it went to pot. Many people today are just wacky. That's why it's great to be older and retired. You can just turn it all off.

Marcus ... Somebody has your motherboard. They may want a small fortune for it but somebody has it. Do you still have any vette parts laying around?

My neighbor who is a retired cop and now has a fence company stopped by quickly to take a look. From what he told me I think he'll come in $1000 cheaper than the first guy I called. He said the same thing about it being an old, out of date unit blah, blah, blah. The one I'm getting has wifi, can be opened with a phone call or remotes and tracks when it's been opened. I think he can even modify it to wipe my a.... Never mind. He has one a little cheaper but he's hemming and hawing about how great this one is and EVERYBODY is getting it. Kinda have to go with the pro's. Has a battery back up as well so if the power goes out I guess you can still get in a few clicks.

Dreary day. Rainy and grey. Mechanical gate opener at the house took a $#!+ today. I've been nursing it along for a couple of years now. The party is over and now I'll have to pay the piper (or the gatekeeper). 12 years old so I guess I got my money's worth. I think it'll cost me twice what I paid last time.  The remote receiver and the motherboard are toast. Of course, the parts are obsolete and no longer in stock. So that's number one. Can bad things number two and three be far behind?

Sue stopped to help a young lady that ran out of gas near the nursery. Let no good deed go unpunished. She called me and I went up to help. The gas wouldn't go in with a gas can. Had some kind of double flap thingy. Sue clipped a stop piece off the gas can spout. Then she held the double caps open while I poured the gas. The 2020 Buick Enclave wouldn't crank and the shifter wouldn't come out of park  Put a jump on it but that was not an issue as the car had plenty of juice. Just did that to amke sure. Followed any instructions we could find on google/youtube. Finally just called for tow truck. They drug it up on the truck and Sue went to the dealership and pulled it off the truck by the service bays. She then brought the young lady to work at a local McDonalds. Sue got off at around 05:30 and spent 4 hours helping the lady out. That's what we're supposed to do, right? Help someone in need. I guess the hundreds of cars that passed the girl didn't think that way. Many drivers were impatient and some even beeped their horns. LOL. People ...... You gotta love em. .... Or not. I'm just glad there are still SOME good people left in the world. But that pool of people shrinks more and more as time goes on.

Saw a picture of a homeless guy that resembled my son so I went 20 miles up the road to check it out. It was not my son from reports at the local gas station but another older guy. Still looking for sonny-boy. Back home now so I resume my active chore list.

Amazon is my friend. I love not going out to pick stuff up. I've been doing more and more online shopping as time goes on. Don't like to buy sensitive electronics online though, like TV's and computers. Too many opportunities for the delivery to go wrong. The bad thing though is I don't leave the house unless I have to or  Still going grocery shopping too. Car stuff pretty much most of it online.

Forget about counting cards. They have automatic shufflers now and on the poker games Sue plays they use two decks dealing with one deck at a time. Either Lady luck is with you or not. On the slots, the machines seem to run hot and cold. They are factory preset and run on algorithms. The house is always gonna be on the winning side over time. To combat algorithms I play with Al Gore rhythms. Sometimes the machine and I are one with the universe. Other times the machines are like black holes. That's why they call it gambling. Right place. Right time. We play recreationally. Always more fun when you win. We do have a lot of playtime in so if experience is a factor we have that covered.

Went to to a holiday party last night for the patients of one of Sue's doctor's. Sue's orthopedic surgeon was also there. Sue has a relationship with her dating back to 1989. The doctor hosting the party is a nerve specialist. He never charges his patients a dime. All we can figure is he is independently wealthy and helps people because his work is his passion. He flies back and forth between Cali and Miami. See's patients on both coasts. Sue's orthopedic surgeon is 71 and has no plan to retire. She still does surgery and is an adjunct professor at University of Miami School of Medicine. She was just recently approved to start a lab for one of the largest hospitals covering South Florida. She is also one of Sue's landscape clients. They are doing research on nerve stimulation and regeneration. A fascinating lady and as down to Earth as they come. After the party Sue and I stopped into The Hard Rock for a few hours. Bruno Mars was performing so the place was packed. They also launced online betting, craps and roulette. I know you guys probably don't want to here this. I had $80 and Sue had $85 of free play. I lost their $80 and put in $100. Within a half hour of our arrival I was $850 ahead. Sue had her ass handed to her on the slots so she headed to Ultimate Texas Hold'em. There she racked up an impressive $1550 in profit. I played around jumping machine to machine on the same bank of slots. Up and down . Up and down and ended the night with $1050 in my pocket. We're not always so lucky. Last Sunday we lost $200. Just want to keep things in perspective. I will say the last month or two we've been on a roll.

What a different world we live in today. I have intentionally lived a lifestyle that is more out of touch than modern day society. I prefer living a style more like several decades in the past. I'm comfortable there. I am happy for technological and therapy breakthroughs in medicine and the ever changing world benefitted bt science. That doesn't mean I have to adhere to social changes. In most cases I can accept "You do you." That does not mean I have to change for you. because "I've got to be me."

I was just reading about lidocaine and it curing some neck and thoat cancers. Just so happen to have a bottle in the medicine cabinet. Figured what the hell, I'll use it on my skin. Can't be any worse than snake oil.

I contacted my dematologist's office after playing phone tag for a few weeks. My results are back from the biopsies and the good news is the 4 areas of concern came back as basal cell carcinoma and not a more serious form of skin cancer. Heading in for MOHS on December 20th. I have a very well respected surgeon, one that I've used before, that will do their magic. Doing surgery 5 days before the 25th no doubt will mess up my home readiness efforts for the Hanamas/Chistikkah party. Oh well. Ya gotta do what you gotta do. The surgeon is planning on retiring soon so now is a good time to take care of it.

What a wonderful day. The sun has risen. Cool air in the morning. Not quite optimal but good none the less. Burned through 6 or 7 tanks of fuel with the weed machine yesterday. The yard looks a whole lot better. Still have to clear some weeds by hand in the front jungle and cut back a few things. We are entering the slow growing season so my eforts will not be in vain. Staying ahead of it is always a challenge. Sue has a 3-4 day job next week of cleaning an acre and a quarter that has been neglected for several years. Yup. 3-4 days to wrestle it back from nature. I have company staying over Saturday night and it is clean up for the party month so I'll be busy everyday. Plenty to keep me busy. There was an apparent benefit to absorbing all the hours of vibration yesterday. My gut feels tighter and actually feel a little better today. After some heavy yard sessions I usually tone up pretty good and put some of those aging muscle groups to work. House cleaning on the agenda toward the end of the week. Retirement sure comes with a lot of work.

Foggy start to the day. I have to break out the dreaded weed wacker today. I've been avoiding it for as long as I can because of the pressure it puts on the back and abs. It's been over two months since the surgery so I guess I'm willing to give it a try. My insides don't feel quite right but that's nothing new. I thought the surgery might help but alas, it may be something that hernia surgery didn't fix. I'll tell you one thing. I'm not in a hurry to go back to a surgical unit. Guess I'll just deal with it till I can't take it anymore. Preventive medicine prevents me from going to the hospital.

GRIS, congrats on reaching yet another milestone. 82 seems young now with all these folks bordering on 100 before leaving this earthly plane. You are an inspiration to me, like a reliable Timex. You keep on ticking.

Money burning a hole in your pocket there Marcus?
Yep, sunny here in Florida. This is supposed to be the mild season. 70's / 80's high. Sue is working the Upper Keys Garden Club gig today. I took care of the nursery critters this morning. Washed a rug that one of the nursery cats pissed on. Charging up the batteries on the vettes and 911. Sending out accounting statements for the business. Soon I'll connect with some yard chores and get ready to put up a couple of holiday inflatables. Have 6-8 of those I think. Onward. A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Had to run to the bank (for Sue), but before that had to fix the nursery mailbox stand that deteriorated from termite damage (for Sue). Came home and emptied Sue's cooler from yesterday's job. Soon I'll get started around here.(for us). One day I'm gonna just have to take a day off (for me).

Weather here is in low 60's and high in the mid 80's. Not sure about the rain today but in Florida it can rain on one side of the street and across the street get nothing.

Goomornin.
Yesterday's tire talk struck a chord. Everything seems expensive to me nowadays. Now I know how the old folks felt when I was just a youngster. So, a couple of weeks ago Sue brought home a stray terrier mix to rehome. Looks like the rehome will be ours. Schatzie is getting up there in age. She is 11 going on 12 and is a rottie mix. Arthritis in her hind quarters is evident but I have her on Cosequin. Snoopy is already 6 years old and will no doubt need a companion to mess with when Schatz is gone. After the initial rumblings they have all settled down and appear to get along. We sent the new dog, Buddy, to get neutered. He is about 4 years old, black dog with tan highlights and a white patch on his chest. Weighs 32 lbs full grown. He's a real nice dog but a little headstrong. (He should fit right in around here.) Got him chipped while he was at the vet's. Smart too. He will probably outlive me.

What type of car parts does she like? Dyson has cordless vacuums on sale. Just ask me for any other great gift ideas. Does she like shiny things? Collectible coins maybe.

Just got some birdseed myself. Cockatoo food and outdoor mixed seed for the feeders. I haven't fed the poor little outdoor birdies for awhile. Might as well attract some birds back to the yard. Had a delivery of mulch to a jobsite this morning . Got home before noon. Getting ready to get back to hanging 4 strands of lights. My back has been kiling me and my insides hurt the same if not worse than before I had the surgery. Can't blame me. I followed doctors orders on weight and have deferred heavy lifting. This is

On the other end of the spectrum I would love to lose 5 degrees from the daily temperatute high. Low to mid 80's makes for a sweaty day. Enjoy the blue skies and be glad you have heated homes .

Sue was up at the crack of dawn to head to the Marathon Garden Club annual fund raiser and donations sale in the Keys. She usually brings home some interesting stuff that we don't need. This moring I fed the home and nursery critters and cut the nursery grass. Gonna go put up some more twinkling lights this afternoon. Plenty to do everyday. It's just a matter of doing it. I should be all caught up sometime in 2025. Maybe.

34 days hath November? All is well. Putting up a few lights. I think this will be a Christmas (light) year. Don't really have the gumption to go heavy on the decorations. Might even just break out the small 1 piece tree. The house party on Decemeber 25th will be a go though.
