Not well thought out. Home and picked up a prescription on the way. A little tired so took a nap. Got interrupted when Todd called to wish me Happy Father’s Day. I enjoyed his call.

Now the specifics:

Got a number of things so I’ll try to be brief on them.

Father’s Day was a pain in the ass.  Had plans to go to Bob Evan’s after church.  Who would have thought they’d be crowded at 10AM.  We waited 45 minutes for a seat, almost as long to be served.  I would have changed plans but I wasn’t the one in charge.  Kathy was playing bitch again and winning as always.  Not much of a delight for me.  Hi-light of the day was a call from Todd.

Did work outside this week moving dirt from the pile they made when they installed the pool and filling in some low spots.  Put down grass seed and covered with straw.  We’ll see how that turns out.  If good, I have some more areas to do.

Weather was rather crappy this week.  Either hot and humid as hell or raining.  So, only got to work outside two days and had half a day to ride the motorcycle.

Have a wet spot in the front yard.  Had one guy tell me it was a spring.  I’m not sure.  Trying to get information from the county health department.  They should have a record of where the septic field is.  Unless it was done by the property owner and they never updated the health department.

Radio bands have been great this week.  Chatted with some of my friends out of the country.  It’s amazing how many people you meet and friends you make on the radio never seeing them in person.  Very fun experience.

Perhaps some things need explaining here.  Mike and Julie inherited a house in Shepardsville.  Mike’s twin brother Mark lived in the house after he and his wife separated.  Mark died several years ago of cancer.  Shortly afterward, Mike made arrangements for his dad and step mother to move into the house.  The step mother died several years ago and his dad died of a stroke last year.  So now the house sits empty.  So, he and Julie are hard at work getting it ready to put on the market.  Their plan is to sell the property in Shepardsville and buy a house in Oldham county that is close to where they live for Mike’s mother to move in.

So now that you have the story on that, you might better understand why Kathy and I are spending time in Shepardsville.  With Mike and Julie working full time it is difficult for them to meet people to get things done on the house.  So, either Kathy or I do that for them.  We also help haul things for them and help them get rid of things.

Been playing with a program called OverDrive.  It’s a program that allows you to download ‘E’ books from the local library and read them on a tablet or other device.  I got the account and am ready to go.  Just need to go to the local library this week and get a library card.

Like I said, a lot happening.  But that’s it for this week.  Hope all is well with everyone.  Have a great week and blog at you again next week.
