The good & the bad.
Started the day with some minor problem, can't even remember what.
Went up & dropped off my ballot. Looked over the community center, lots different than 8 10 years ago. Now have a pool table & other things. May go up there some time in the future. They also have a free lunch.
Stopped on my way home had beer with a friend, solved some world problems.
Got home in a good mood. Go out later to feed the birds. Left front tire is flat Have a can of flat fix, but want to save it in case of road problems. Spare tire has a slow leak & is flat. Tires almost new, so maybe its just a nail & can be plugged. May have to get a ride, if my old plug kit is over the hill.
Still in a fair mood, well after a few minutes. Have tinitas in both ears. left ear calms down when stress goes away, right ear stays fairly loud, but as been easing up lately.
I moved here because it had just about everything I wanted in a place. Sister has 5 acres in Marana, thought about going there.
$13,000 for permits, before even digging a hole. Tombstone out of the question, not a real small town any more. Nothing suitable for sale in a few other places I would have like to lived.
Have thought about writing a or books for a long time. Should have done it years ago, when I could type better & memory worked better. If any of you live near & Oaks Texas, go take a look. It was about like the old time towns. Run by 1 person & family. Went there about 20 years ago, could have had a place in town, free for a while. Old lady "Patsy Boon" owned & her family ran the whole town. She wanted me to take over a liquor store, free building for my jewelry business. Wanted me to buy her house, or 1 of the other 42 homes she owned. Owned a big office building in Livingston, free rent there for a while.
Big problem she would have had control of my life. She was quite a character. An old gug was behind on his rent, she went up there & kicked his door down. She and a friend also Maned Patsy Boon, not related, were suppose to go dancing that night. When she didn't show up & was called said she had hurt her hip. Friend thinking she had fallen, nope hurt it kicking door down. Drove a big Ford 350, Had silly old lady friend about same age, Late 70s or early 80s. wore a see thru blouse & no bra. She owned the motel, said tell them I sent you & you will save some money. Before I told them that I ask how much $37, After $29. Could not find room, instead of it being part of the regular rooms it was part of the main building. Not a room but an apartment. She also owned the bar, pretty nice bar, music & dancing. She bought me a round of drinks. Told the waitress I really wanted to pay for them. Nope she says when "Patsy Speaks I Listen". Tried to bu Patsy a drink, she does not drink. Meet for breakfast, I about 10 minutes late, got fussed at for that.
Did buy a house just out side of Livingston, 2+ acres, beautiful house, real brick, cabinet work hard to believe, real wood, huge gun rack, large picture window. What looked like a lawn that did not have to be mowed. Nice little creek on back side.
Also a housing development suppose to be built in back. Nothing there, except good deer hunting. Never go to live in the house, lost $$ on it as with most all of my property deals. North of Huston about 45 miles.
More later. Look at flat & make a plan. We know how that usually turns out.
