Everflo O2 Concentrator crapped out. Probably from lack of maintenance. I have had it about eight years and the medical supply company could never be bothered to service it. So, it is time to open it up and clean what must be a lot of dust and animal hair. Filters need to be replaced I am sure. Another household repair project. Kind of interesting, something new and that is always stimulating. This time I will remain cool, calm and collected and not engage in Dagwood Bumstead antics when things go as I would not have them go. Hoping the solenoids and compressor did not fail! This unit is heavy. Shipping will be quite costly as is professional repair. So another how repair job is indicated.Β whenever we had problems with my mom's we used to just make the company bring us another one.

Getting very hot this week after a nice weekend. Nothing I have to do outside, but a lot of stuff I want to do. I'm only 25 miles from Arkansas and I think the mindset is creeping in. Hey farmer! You been livin' here all your life? Not yet. Hey farmer! Where does this road go? Been livin' here all my life, it ain't gone nowhere yet. Hey farmer! How do you get to Little Rock? Listen stranger, you can't get there from here. Hey farmer! Thought you said that mud-hole weren't very deep? Only comes up to here on my ducks. Hey farmer! When you gonna fix that leakin' roof? Ah, stranger, when it's a rainin' it's too wet to fix it and when it's dry it's just as good as any man's house. Hey farmer! You're not too far from a fool, are you? Just a barbed-wire fence between us. Hey farmer! You don't know very much, do you? No, but I ain't lost. Hey farmerβ how longβs this place been dead? Not too long.Youβre the first buzzardβs shown up.

To get one with Medicare could take eight months of appointments, test and more tests. All very far away. It just is not worth the hassle to deal with them. Medicare is more stingy with O2 Concentrators than they are with CPAPS.

500 bucks online John, Bluetti sent me CPAP battery as surprise purchase problem is I don't use a CPAP machine. Simple day here slept in until 10am drank a whole bunch of espresso and opened a bunch of packages of medical supplies. Studying for my drug test on Friday and going to my regular doc for lab work.

Electricity! Power! Zap! A couple of poles blow over in a wind storm and youβre back in the 19th century. Bam! Itβs been said many times before, but when the juice no longer flows everything stops. You canβt help yourself: on the way into the bathroom you reach for the light switch. At the stove you expect to hear the tok-tok-tok and see the burst of flame. Nothing works. Ten hours. Time to get the little Honda genny out of the shop and hook up the big freezer. And simmer about what a dedicated enemy could do to us so easily.
Ahhh! Just popped back on. Life resumes!

Did you have the two sleep studies at a sleep clinic/center? That is what takes time here as their are so few of them.

I have never had the desire to build an AR, bought a Colt LE 6920 SOCOM M4, outfitted with a Trijicon ACOG, came with knights armament rails, bipod, Surefire illumination it is so accurate, and quick target acquisition that it can almost be boring to shoot. And if the turds hit the fan, ammo availability is there. And Hornady TAP ammo, I doubt anyone would want me to shoot them to test out whether the round can do the job. I sleep better at night with it bedside. Well, most of the ones I've built cost about 400 each. And I have so many fun calibers to play with. And I have a barn full of ammo. π

I guess that I will be working out of Helena Montana for a few weeks, end of September/ October.
Covering the state, little work, lotta driving.
Looking forward to it with the fall colors and wildlife. Three day weekends, one niece in Helena, one in Missoula. Going to fly the wife up there for a week, she will have the company rental card.
Nice differential pay, and increased spending allowance.
Wooohoo!
February would be rough!π

Next time I go to Texarkana I'm going to check out some of the Sketcher step-ins. Some mornings my back keeps me from being able to lace my sneakers. Never going to get rid of my Crocs though. π
