Generator people replacing my old 17kw Kohler with a 20Kohler kw, only hookup that had to be replaced was the wire going from my Gen to transfer box, new Gen had a 100 amo circuit, old one was 75 amps. Good crew, left them alone, wife showered them with cold water and cokes.

Watched the Generator guys pick up and clean the area, Boss man said no charge for heavier wire, would have been 300$, when I wrote the check, I wrote the lead man a 100$ check asking him would he split with his helper. He told me yes, I believe he was surprised; didn’t have to pay Why not!

Wound care today and back on anti-biotics for three weeks. Bleach treatment and compression stocking. Very slight improvement after six weeks of treatment. Lets call it mini win. Starbucces Americano with two extra shots for the ride home .

Had to have the pacemaker checked today. They said it is still good for about four more years before battery change. Then an EKG as far as I know that was good too. The cardiologist didn't mention it at least. I have to go back in on the 19th for an echocardiogram to take a look at my valve. If that goes well I will be done with the heart doctor for one year. My wife and I went to a Mexican restaurant before we came home.

He ticked like a Chevy 235. Endless source of amusement!

I made the mistake of reading my latest extended lab results last night and ended up laying awake all night.

John will be ok he can always hitch a ride or hang tires around the perimeter of that Ford truck and play bumper cars. As for rain just wear shorts because hip waders are too hot unless your are trout fishing the White river in Arkansas below the dam where the water is consistently around 50° Fahrenheit year-round. Stay safe Urb. The White or the Little Red, which comes straight off the bottom of Greer's Ferry Lake. I've known fishermen to have to stop, get out on the bank, and pour the water out of their jon boat because so much condensation formed on the inside of it in the summer. Lake Austin is like that. The water coming from the bottom of the dam is 45 degrees in July. Water skiing there is like the Norse thing where they go from the sauna to the ice water. It would stop my heart now.

Well, they have officially declared Cass County a disaster area. It's fine where we are but some places are near bayous that are misbehaving.

Haven't seen any, yet. Town is a long way from any bayous or even big creeks. Got a couple of lakes in the middle of town. Seems like it would have been in the newspaper if we had any as they post the winners of the local 42 tournament.

Jarred up some tobacco and made a fresh barch of Friar's Bayou. Put some tins in the cellar. Got a little housekeeping and garden work to do.

Cut the Ponderosa, hot, grass growing fast with the raid we’ve been getting, not bitching better than drought.

It's a lazy day here. Although it's almost 80° outside, the house is just comfortable enough to keep the a/c turned off. I finished another round of laundry and now I'm watching the Mets vs Phillies game from London. Phillies 6-2 Mets at the top of the seventh.

Day started out suffocating, turned really nice around 10 and got too hot around 1:30. Feels like 103 right now.

I enjoy watching the Phillies beat the Mets, even if it’s in London!

After sleeping for about 10 hours, I'm just puttering around the place. Noticed there seems to be a mole working on my yard.

Mowing and trimming this morning. Now just enjoying a quiet evening inside. Maybe I will watch some youtube videos or read a book...

Right around 90 here today, but the humidity is again unseasonably low and there's some breeze, so it's actually pretty pleasant in the shade. Will do some mowing when the sun gets down a little.
