Good Morning Jim
Weather reports from your area seem not to be a bad winter. Unless living in Flagstaff area then all is normal.
Noticed Arkansas is 35 on the chart you posted. We tend to keep our weather on a closed or quiet information because the worst fear we have is a Michigan car with U-Haul plates visiting a Realiter. Always they know how we must change to be just like it was back home.

So finally got the stove put up. Most all wood that I have picked up in your area was full of ants. bees or some varmint that didn't want to be disturbed.
Where are you getting yours.
It takes several years for a tree to grow above the level of grass in field. then looks dead until the annual rain of 1/4th inch rain comes in the spring along with the wind 24 hour s a day. blowing 30 MPH picking up dust looking like a storm coming across the plains.

Really I had planned to retire in the Tucson area closer to mountains North of the city or toward Stateline with N..Mex. But like all plans things changed and had to return to Ark.

Now glad I did after all how can you not like good people. low wages and a place to call home and know most all that live in the county by first name.
and get invited to come in and enjoy a meal.

Last week had to be in home of family of Northern resident (Michigan) and their dog came up to my right leg. so reached down and petted it on the head rubbed back and my glove got caught in its collar . dog went nuts . running around in circles to get glove off. picked up the dog walked to owner had her release glove and then put dog down.
she was thinking I had done this on purpose. finished what supposed to do and thinking never will be called to come again to that house.

You mentioned have a few extra parts in your shed. By chance a starter for a Farmall Low Boy C-60 engine. turns ccw the starter I have spins backwards to the need.

Is the VA leaving you alone or just not mentioning the experamce .

Se'ya ken

Mine made it to #15 on the list. The state is small but the weather on the South end is way milder than on the North end.

Hi Jim been quiet for a week is all O'k.

Tonight our Educational tv station showed the picture Command and Control.
About the titan missile blowing up here in Ark; about 8 miles from here. Early '80's

If you can get the picture worth seeing. Maybe try the Library.

Trust having a good week

Our weather has went kind of wonky in western Arkansas. I am sitting on my front porch at 5:30am in a t-shirt and jeans. Thermometer says it's 61 degrees. Wind is gusting at roughly 20 mph across the pasture. According to the meteorologist on TV we are either going to get thunder storms this coming weekend or a snow storm. It's still kind of up in the air.

One thing I've learned about arkansas is that the weather can change dramatically in a very short amount of time.

So little to report it's hardly worth talking about.

Should be taking advantage of the warm spell, but just too lazy. Did cut a little fire wood Damm little. Got in the little red wagon but have not brought it in.

fro some reason my mood goes from good to bad almost instantly. Don't want to talk to any one or even the mutts'
Dog is trying to become part of the family. Still being a silly old man, but getting a little better. Loves his rib tickles & but scratches. Base of tail on his back. Sometimes even gives leg kicks when his chest is scratched.

Got some underpants that fit & jogging pants (PJ'S) that also fit. Nice to be able to walk around without them trying to fall off.

VA a pain in the butt, nice to have, but??? Swallow the poison appointment lost, same with biopsy, 33+ minutes on the PH & now a new appointment for a different thing on FEB 23.

Pain pills don't work, why???? Don't think they come any stronger. Hate to take pills anyway, might as well give up on them.

Back brace helps a little for a little while,
Figured out that they are on the bone, not enough meat to pad them. Put on over cloths with a small pillow in between helps for a little while.

Think you may have misunderstood about the wood stove. It's in the house & has been fine for 7/8 years. Needs new stove pipe but old 1 is working.

Sorry to be so sour sounding.

friend Larry got here about 11pm on Christmas eve. Had to be miserable drive in his tall van. Said it started snowing from NM all the way to Benson. Haven't stopped by to see him yet. Mood changes???

Hopefully happy silly BS next post.
Jim

Any chance the mood changes are tied to your new meds? Glad to hear things are quiet for you.

I have read recently that you can get real depressed watching too much tv news. I limit my time watching news, too much stress what with all the fake news and biased reporting.

Could be,hard to tell. Think it is mostly that I am not getting anything done or accomplished. Also something to do with feeling broke all the time. Think & plan, but do almost nothing.

Getting old & crabby along with other things. Got up this AM, computer acting up ( second time in the last day or 2) Unplug it 2 or 3 times & it finally starts & works. Sure did nothing to improve my mood. Then its pee, pee & pee. After 33+ minutes on PH, hung up while waiting for someone else to answer. Hughes net & some other company ripped me off for $20.00 That did no help.

As has been said only the good die young. & Everyone wants to go to heaven, but not today. :D

On the missile thing, one of the silos down in Green Valley has been turned into a museum. They give tours, don't know if its free or not. Another about 25 miles east is still fenced off. Am sure there are no missiles in any of them.
I was suppose to go to work on them when I got out of the Navy. But the week before I got out, the jobs went from 7 days, 10 hours a day to job over, instantly.

More later,
Jim
