It's 1:09 Eastaern Standard time. I took a long nap this afternoon. As a result of that and now having an active mind I was unable to fall asleep. Thinking of all kinds of unanswerable questions. Thinking about and who will take care of things when we're gone. If I go who will care of Sue and our final disbursements. Sue and I both want to be cremated and our ashes to share the same resting place. Not necessarily in a cemetary. Sonny-boy will shun the responsibility but we do have a stepson. Not a legal stepson but one we helped raise none the less and we have treated as a stepson all our lives. I think of people that were dead in their dwellings for years. Unfound because nobody looked in on them. Nobody checked on them. Nobody cared about them. My circle of friends is starting to look more like a slice of pie. The inevidable thinning of the house is soon to come and we'll start reducing our overblown inventory of unneeded and unnecassary items.(Though we have talking about reduction for years now.) Have to do it while I'm still healthy. But first I'm gonna have one more year to play with my toys. Hopefully I'll use the boat more. Drive the cars more. Enjoy life more, not that we don't do that now but make room for more. Living for me is easy. It's the phase after that I have to deal with by doing a little more planning.


Thanks for listening. (reading) Dammit. I'm still not tired yet.

Morning Tommy....I hope you finally got to sleep. Morning to the rest of you folks. Another cool morning here, upper 40s, headed to the low to mid 80s.

I have some work in the shop this morning, then right after lunch we will head east a couple hours to watch #3 GS run in his XC meet.

Morning ya'll - Tommmy, I"m not sure how old you are but I"m 53 and I've been thinking of things like that for years. I often think of where I'll be when my health declines, and after dealing with nursing homes, I flatly refuse that. I'll put a cap in it before that happens I think. I'm one of those you mention that nobody checks on, looks in on etc, I live mostly by myself. I know I techinically live with Arron however he's hardly there. Those that do reach out to me want to borrow money or need help with something and that's bout it. I often wake up at night thinking of these things, all my life's failures and regrets. My neurologist calls it "end of life depression" and says theres no reason I should be thinking these things. Can't help it. On brighter news it's beautiful here today, although cold, due to warm up to around 80. Perfect. Hoping for a slow day at the office today, didn't sleep well so not in the mood for bs today. Rather just sit here and try to find the end of the internet. Fingers crossed I make the congressman's secretary happy so we can get that project off and done. I have a new pool truck here so that's to start. Third one from them in a month. That must be where the money is.

IT'S SUNNY AND A COLDISH 50 DEGREES ON THE FRONT PORCH, PREDICTED HIGH OF 80. THE CHEROKEES ARE LIKING THIS.

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA BUT THE LONG DELAYED TRIMMING. I HEAR THE WONDERDOG CALLING FOR HIS BREAKFAST AND I MUST GO :-)

ONE DAY AT A TIME, Y'ALL, IT WON'T BOTHER YOU WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.

Good Morning CGs!

Another cold day here, jeans and sweatshirt weather.

Tommy, I think about things like that on a pretty regular basis. Some people view it as morbid but I see it as a realistic approach to life. I keep building my collection of items as I go. Eventually I will have to start the opposite. Like a pendulum. I don't want my kids to have the burden of eliminating all of my worldly possessions. Although RR#1 wouldn't mind the cars

I still didn't completely close the pool. I'm not as dedicated as you are to yard work.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I should make a list, lol. I have no kids, just Arron and if I go before him, he won't know what to do with stuff. Heaven forbid he sells my larges bittersweet L.E. Smith swung vase for $25 when it's worth $500, I'd roll over in my grave lmao. Seriously tho, we need to sit down and get a plan in place.

Back from our trip east. GS finished 12th in his race, team finished 1st so he brings home 2 medals. It actually warmed up quite a bit, was 91 when we got to the location of the race. but has cooled off pretty good, back into the upper 70s by the time we got home.

66 isn't that old, Tommy, no real need to think thoughts like those....but admit, I do sometimes too. Rosie's Brothers wife sent a text out yesterday, that her 64yo brother passed on Tuesday. We'll head back to central Kansas on Sunday for wake service and Funeral Monday.
