Good Afternoon

way too much catching up again.

Thanks for the continued prayers, thought it might be good to give an update (I have no secrets anyways), so this is what I am dealing with ... the homefront is not doing well. Wife has totally checked out of the marriage, and is not willing to even talk to me, she is staying with the tenants upstairs. I think it is "too comfortable" as they are her friends now. That also sabotages the plans to give notice to the tenants. She is telling people that she is separated, she has asked me for a buy-out and is not interested in reconciliation. I am getting prepared for a mortgage loan with the bank. I have an initial consult appt with a lawyer on Tuesday afternoon, so I'll see what is suggested. I don't want this to go this way, but she is giving me no regard at all, this after being gone for almost a year... no intimacy or anything else to build on. My perspective is that she has been and is in a toxic situation, with negative influencers (family, tenants) for TOO LONG. I think there are still health issues, and unchecked mental health challenges. She has many diagnosed health issues, and suffered head trauma / concussion (untreated) several years ago when she fell on rocks at a creek. My only thought where I might hold off for reconciliation options in time, is IF she attends psychiatric counselling and is properly diagnosed, so that we know what we are dealing with. Otherwise this may be the end of this chapter. I'm Trusting God, and Waiting on The Lord. I also have a counselling appointment later this week. Basically I'm sad, numb, confused and conflicted (faith values) by all of this. I believe in miracles, and God can fix this, I have the gut reaction that there is more going on then that though. I have a LOT of support.
in regards to my shoulder / arm - managing ok, still sore, numb and muscles are tired at times

I've been working on cleaning up the garage, and I'm busy with Bookkeeping too. Still need to get the truck looked at.

cheers all

m7040 - I am still catching up, so perhaps you have posted further, but I would love to see photos of that old bank barn. HA <3 - you have 30 years on us

I used to have a buddy who had a business buying surplus government computers. Some of the computers came from classified offices. If they had hard drives in them, they took them out, laid them on the floor and hit them with one of those geologists hammers with the pointy end. They thought that made them fairly hard to read.

Chris

are you saying that doing that DOESN'T make them hard to read ? incinerate might be the only other option ?

Buppies and Thomas --- I need neighbours like you

This was the land of the paranoid. It was thought that with the right equipment it might be possible to get something off them. I know that there was an FBI agent who showed up from time to time. It might be that he liked to hang out at a computer junkyard but it could have been informal spot checks. It did keep the guys down there looking over their shoulders. For a while they had a degauser but it shorted out so plan b was the hammer.

Here are a few pics of the bank barn:

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 4C and it's presently 16.7C with gusty winds which have been happening all night. So much so that I didn't hear the early morning rain that put 2.3mm into the gauge. It's supposed to rain again this arvo and another Antarctic blast is expected. I know that Summer is scheduled soon but I would've enjoyed nice Spring weather if it was offered.

Not much on the cards for today although the '6 tonnes' of wood out at the wood-shed isn't going to stack itself.

That's about it, take care all.

This is the inside of the storage shed for the RTV located close to the kitchen entrance. It is 14 by 24 with an 8 ft roll up door and side door

Prayers for scaredy and his wife

RNG, be careful. It took 80 years for me to figure out how to break a bone. Not fun getting back to normal. I am learning to take my neighbors offer to help when I need it. Did you get your water running again?

Thanks, Ron. Yes, I did get the water going. Once in a while the pressure switch on the jet pump sticks, and won't turn on. This is the forth or fifth pressure switch I've installed, and they've all failed the same way. I don't know if it's a Made in Mexico problem, or something else...

Spent most of the day after church in the building cleaning, straightening and putting stuff back where it goes. About 40* outside and 45 inside with both end doors open. Really enjoyable.

I loved shooting dads 22-250. I’d nail groundhogs from a long ways.

I had to look that one up since the Millers never come to Texas.

The Miller Classification

weatherworksinc.com

My wife spotted a white substance coming from the sky during a light rain while she was walking Whipper this afternoon. Not snow, more like ash, it smeared like clay. No fires in the area. But a fireball was reported near Dallas, maybe some ash from it. It would have been too cloudy here to see it.

Well, David will be relieved.

I learned something new. Now when they say it’s a Nor-Easter, I’ll know it’s Miller Time, and I don’t participate.
