Lamp Post Fixed
New weather proof socket. One of the sockets on our outdoor lamp posts went bad. We have two that sit on each side of the driveway. Seems moisture made its way into one of them and caused corrosion. Stopped

Mower Fixed
My push mower. Worked on my push mower this weekend. Last week while mowing it started revving up and down. Surging. That's never good. My first thought was a fuel or spark plug issue. Changed out the

I'm reading a book for one of my courses right now. The Serving Leader by Ken Jennings and John Stahl-Wert. It's one of those leadership fables. A son reconnects with his dying father and learns about

The Painting in the Exam Room
Went to the neurologist appointment yesterday. No big deal. A followup. No changes. Nothing bad and nothing good to report really. Did complain about how my shoulders have been bothering me and got an

Memorial Day Weekend Check In
Been nose down in school work lately. Lots of reading. Tons of reading. Lots of researching literature and writing as well. Real time consuming. Being honest, I don't feel like blogging and commenting

Progress
Had an appointment with my VA counselor the other day. The call lasted less than 15 minutes. A few years ago, those calls were longer. A lot longer. I needed them to be. I was in a bad place. Mentally.

Had the family over for a cookout today. Just me, the wife, our youngest son, and his girlfriend. Nothing fancy. No big crowd. Just the four of us. Grilled burgers, sausages, and chicken kabobs wrapped

The Healthcare Shakedown
Image is AI generated. My wife had some procedures done recently. She's fine now. Recovering. That's the good news. The bad news came in the mail. Insurance covered a great deal. We're grateful for that.
