I'm off to the mountains today with the trailer loaded down with fencing and a jeep.
I went to visit my new grandson today. He just got out of the hospital last night due to a serious infection, but appears to be on the road to recovery.
Take a video of that ocean drop, and link it here.

Hanging out with the cutest baby ever.
I took my brother to the doctor and the doctor changed his prescription (he has walking pneumonia and bronchitis). The doctor is a really nice guy (unlike some of the ones we've had in the past) and he wasn't judgmental about my brother's weight and explained why the nebulizer was so important.
Then we picked up some friends and took them to Outback and then Sams Club. They just got their food stamps in and needed to get stuff. Meat, shrimp, bread, drinks, Nutella, cereal, etc. Their son's school now requires them to send snacks-- and they have to send like 20 of them- not just enough for him. I think that is total BS because the school board gets 3% of the sales tax (we have 10% sales tax because of it) and those parents shouldn't have to be providing snacks for other people's kids. Especially when they can barely afford to feed their own kids. I would ask WTF they are doing with the money from the tax, but I know it isn't getting down to the teachers/classrooms. It gets eaten up by the admins. They have administrators for administrators and just keep creating jobs that aren't needed. Meanwhile the teachers haven't gotten raises in years and they actually laid a bunch of them off.
The school system here sucks. They make the kids wear uniforms in public school. That is so Un-American. And contrary to popular belief, it does NOT stop kids from being bullied for being poor. Families with more money can buy nicer/newer uniforms. They can also give the kids better backpacks and school supplies. Sorry, venting.

Been wheeling all day
The day before heading to Hawaii last month, the air conditioning went out. Today, the day before we leave for our 5,000 mile road trip, the washing machine took a crap, with my clothes still floating in the dirty water. I called an appliance guy and a few hours later, he was there. I told him it was probably the timer/control panel that need replacing. He said, "OK, I'll replace it, but it won't fix the problem."
OK, I now felt about as stupid as one could be. I shut up while he explained that it was the safety switch on the bottom side of the lid. It stops spinning, filling and draining in case a child was to crawl inside. Five minutes later (and $130 less in my pocket) I was back to washing my clothes.
We are now packing up the car, with our ice chests, lap tops, smart phones, iPads, and all the other necessities in life, and we will be out of here no later than 6AM. Next stop will be in Rawlins, Wyoming, which is ~ 1000 miles northeast!

Finishing my 3rd double-shift in a row in 10 minutes. I will welcome any sleep I get before starting again tomorrow morning @ 6:30 am. (My posts may have reflected the punchyness that's been building for the past 3 days.)
