Gawd almighty....it's hot

I'll attempt to answer a couple questions bout old "pesky". The only health care Wayne has is through the VA. He does not have Medicare "B" coverage. As I understand, he has 100% coverage through the VA. And yes, they do cover home health care. But he needs someone with him at all times of the day.....you know, kind of like a wife or something like that. There is a nursing home here in Deming, but he has already turned that down when he had a stroke last year.

Today I rolled out of bed feel'n like a spring chicken. Cluck cluck and all. By 8:30 I was out on "da porch" sip'n a cup and do'n a little think'n. I sure do love my "da porch". Broke out my mail and "what the hell", I'm a wanted man. Jury duty summons from south Texas. Gotta be there a couple days ago. Don't rekon I'm gonna make it, do you??? Well, I got online and send them a email explaining I ain't gonna be there and the reasons why. I done tole them one time before to don't be send'n no more requests for my presence to any court proceedings 'cause I ain't gonna be there. Now they threaten me with a fine. It's cheaper to pay the fine than it would be for gas money to get there. Three more months and I'll be exempt for "old age".

Boy howdy, it feels something like summer. It's 107 out there on "da porch" so old Billy Bob is sit'n on "da couch" in a cool motorhome. So, I rekon I made the right decision to wait out the hot weather before hitting the road. Now yesterday I had a scare from the hot weather. The front a/c make a weird sound and quit cooling. The thermal overload had kicked out on the compressor.....not once, but a few times. That's not good. Ya see, it's like this....the 30 mile a hour wind was blow'n in the back of the a/c and the 29 mile a hour fan was blow'n against the wind. That makes for not enough air flow'n through the coils....walla....kick off on thermal overload. The a/c coils had been through a hail storm a few years ago and straightened as good as could be, but there is still damage.  Today, hotter than yesterday but no wind,  it's work'n fine. Cost to replace....$650.

I've been debating on shutting my blog down for a while since I have very little to write about this year. But then again, I feel kind of obligated to my followers. In the mean time I'll just keep plug'n alone with what ever I can come up with...interesting or not.

  1. Well, of course it's your choice to post to your blog or not.. BUT I betcha if you quit it, you'll start getting lot of emails wanting to know where you are and if you died yet.

  4. You can't get out of the blogging world that easy, dang it!! Don't you dare stop. About the jury duty, I believe in Texas if you are over 70 years old you don't need to go. But don't you need the couple bucks a day they pay???

  5. Well shoot, I guess I better make sure I find something to talk bout every day.

    No Dizzy, I don't need the penance they pay for jury duty. I pay that much for a Whopper and fries.
