Getting Out Of My Comfort Zone

Once upon a time, I could sit down and write about all sorts of things. I quit doing that and I've lost what I once had an imagination! I'm doing my best to try and find what I lost, but I'm having to dig deep, and so far I haven't found it. But Im not a quitter and I'll (God Willing) find that spark I'm looking for.

It's been another beautiful day, and one I've enjoyed. The temp is up to 100 degrees and it's 2:35pm. Our heat is without humidity most of the time. I feel for those people living in the east and the weather they're having. The only time I've been in bad humility was when I was off the coast of Viet Nam, but I know what's it like to not know how to get any real relief.

When I left Nam I had been taken over to the USS Enterprise and was directed to the focsil because there were 5,500 people on board and they didn't have any room for us. I slept on a cot and if the Jets taking off and the catapult hitting the end of the runway didn't shake you up then when the jets droped down and kicked in their after burners and the heat came in through the anchor chain divits. It was a miserable night and it was very humid and there was no way to get relief. Fortunately I left on a prop mail plane the next day so I survived. It was memory I'll never forget!

We're having our 3 sheds painted on the outside and a guy came by today and power washed all 3, and put cocking around. He is coming back tomorrow to paint all 3. That takes care of 1 issue, My wife wants the whole house painted inside so we're going to be busy moving things around here pretty soon.

I spoke with the salesman today for the solar panels we're going to have installed. The last time I spoke with him I said we wanted the wiring to go through the attic like the first time and he re-sent the bid with an additional $400. dollars tacked on to it. On this form I signed today didn't show it going through the attic and I brought that to his attention and he said they would make sure it was done right. We'll see if that is the case.

Have a great day and Remember
Life is Good and God is Great
