Well, it never slows down here.  I was supposed to be off this week, and resting?  But my Daddy always said there was \u201cno rest for the wicked\u201d and I guess<\/strong> I must have been pretty bad at some point.  Shame I don\u2019t really remember being bad. <\/p>\n

We got home<\/strong> last<\/strong> night and this morning I had to turn around and get back to OKC by 9:00 AM<\/strong> for an appointment.  I had to go pick up my replaced Bluetooth unit for my hearing aides.  Yes I am near deaf from too much noise at work and not those rock concerts that I never went to\u2026 My new hearing aids have an add-on Bluetooth mic\/sender that I wear and it links to my cell phone or anything else with Bluetooth so I can hear it through the hearing aids\u2026 really a nice addition.  You see, I lost the one<\/strong> I got (after only 2 months).  Stupid me, ii  lost it when I had not closed my \u201cdump-it-in-bag\u201d when I got on the plane<\/strong> in Laredo going<\/strong> back to Houston a few weeks ago.  <\/p>\n

You see, I have a small carry on for the limited necessary items when I travel(fly) that I can dump everything into as we approach security<\/strong> check<\/strong>-ins.  It speeds things up and after 20 years of travel I just seem to want to be ready when I get to the front and not have to hold the line up while I take off my belt, empty my pockets, check<\/strong> for loose change,  remove my watch, etc. etc. etc.\u2026 So with the small bag I can have all that done well before I hit the trays.  Once there, I can dump the shoes, pull the laptop, and shove them and the bag through in just a minute\u2026 I sure hate getting behind someone that makes multiple trips back and forth to get things they forgot out and put them in trays then still get the \u201cmagic-wand\u201d check<\/strong> on the other side.  They slow the operations to a crawl because they are not ready.  I guess<\/strong> that is one<\/strong> of my pet-peeves.  Be ready when you know what is coming.  Do not wait to the last<\/strong> minute to start getting ready. <\/p>\n

Somehow, on the plane<\/strong> as best I can determine,  after I put the bag in the overhead it fell out.  I had not zipped it fully closed after having to pull out my Bose headphones and then the next person tipped it over to shove their stuff on top and when I got ready to get off the plane<\/strong> I didn\u2019t check<\/strong> to make sure I had not let something fall out.  Fortunately that was the only thing<\/strong> I have found missing.  Unfortunately it was expensive to replace.  I had insurance for replacement but the deductible was about half the price of replacement. <\/p>\n

Back to my day<\/strong>, I was up and out and on the road by shortly after 7:00 AM<\/strong>.  There was not a lot<\/strong> of traffic as I expected since it was just about rush hour when I hit the city.  Guess everyone was on vacation?  I made it to the appointment pretty early \u2013 like about 8:10.  Since I had stopped on the way through yesterday to see if, by chance,  I could get it done yesterday evening but no luck<\/strong> on that so they had said they had an open time<\/strong> at 8:30.  Not know if I could get there that early I stayed on the 9:00 am but hoped the 8:30 would be still open when I got there.  No such luck<\/strong>, someone else had filled that one<\/strong> so I till after 9:00 to get t  my shot.  Once in we got the hearing aids cleaned, new filters, adjusted, and the Bluetooth programed to match my aids, etc.\u2026 then linked to my phone and I was out of there\u2026 Back in business for the time<\/strong> being. <\/p>\n

I then went to Academy to check<\/strong> out some rolling lockers to use for a suitcase but they didn\u2019t have what I was looking for.  But I did get a new belt and spent a little time<\/strong> drooling over some fishing reels and other neat toys.  From there I stopped at the main office of the Communication Credit Union<\/a>, where we bank, to make a deposit.  (Great rates, great service, nice people).  For the new year they were giving out cans of \u201cblack-eyed-peas\u201d.  <\/p>\n

\"cfcu1\"<\/a> \"cfcu2\"<\/a> \"cfcu3\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Yes, that old saying that for good luck<\/strong> in the new year you should eat \u201cblack-eyed-peas\u201d.  So far it has never helped me one<\/strong> way of the other and I truly do not like Black-eyed Peas but I got a can and will most likely give it to my Dad, He eats them.  But the can was pretty neat anyway.<\/p>\n

I then made a run<\/strong> for home<\/strong>.  Nothing else to stop me in the city as I might run<\/strong> into spending money, and I sure do not need<\/strong> to do that.  One the way home<\/strong> I counted m ore RV<\/strong>\u2019s headed south than we had the day<\/strong> before.  Seems that a lot<\/strong> of the \u201cWinter Texans\u201d had waited out Christmas and were now making the run<\/strong> for the border.  I can\u2019t say that I blame them as it is getting cold and that chance of seeing 70\u2019s every day<\/strong> sure looks appealing to me but alas, I have to work for a couple more years.  Some day<\/strong> I will be one<\/strong> of those South-bound RVers.  Looking for warming weather, you know shorts sandals and t-shirt stuff.  I saw big RV<\/strong>\u2019s, small ones and trailers, motor homes, all kinds like this big bus –<\/p>\n

\"movingon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway not all of them were having good luck<\/strong>.  I know the picture is not too clear but this poor guy was being towed south.<\/p>\n

\"broken\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look close there is a dually pickup hooked to a 5th wheel trailer and that is being towed by the big read tow truck.<\/p>\n

Yesterday from Denton to OKC it appears that maybe 15% or more of the traffic was RV<\/strong>\u2019s going<\/strong> south.  I just wanted to be one<\/strong>  of them. <\/p>\n

Once home<\/strong> we had a few errands to run<\/strong>, like fill the car up with gas as I had driven 390 miles since filling it up, get lunch, pay<\/strong> the city our yearly fee for having a security<\/strong> system and other misc.  I did notice on the form that in 2 years I will not have to pay<\/strong> that fee anymore, it becomes free for seniors over the age of 62.  I would guess<\/strong> by then they will figure out how to change that so they can charge me?   One more senior benefit that I have 5 years to wait for is the property tax freeze<\/a>.  At the rate the economy is going<\/strong> I may even be able to argue that my property is worth less and get my tax lowered to a lower freeze level?  NO<\/strong>, I am sure that is wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

The rest of the day<\/strong> was spent doing small things, piddle things and oh, moving my few tools form the old plastic tool box I have had for over 20years to the new one<\/strong> my kids got me for Christmas.  <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a>  Mine is black\u2026 <\/p>\n

They all think the old heavy plastic one<\/strong> that the draws won\u2019t  open on and the lid is warped out of shape needs to be thrown away.  The new tool chest sure is nice but I now don\u2019t have enough tools to  fill it????? ha! like I am going<\/strong> to do some serious work and need<\/strong> a lot<\/strong> of tools now\u2026 Anyway the new chest is nice and I now have most of the tools better split and should be easier to find\u2026 I hope\u2026   I guess<\/strong> they don\u2019t know I still have the old Craftsman I got 45 years ago and it is in the motor home<\/strong> filled with the essentials I need<\/strong> there.  <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a>  Mine is the old original gray version.  I have carried that with me everywhere.  Has been a great tool box.  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well , was the extend of my day<\/strong>.  Didn\u2019t get to do any Ham Radio today but did turn it on for a few minutes this evening, but I was intent on getting some DVD<\/strong>\u2019s converted so I and play them on my tablet when I travel\u2026 Another of my Christmas presents was a DVD<\/strong> with 3 of the Louis L\u2019amour movies on it.  Hidden away I have a collection of his paperback books.  Think I only lack a few of his books as I used to write down the ones I didn\u2019t have and always look for the missing to add.  I have never counted them but it was several shelves full at one<\/strong> time<\/strong>.    It was a nice day<\/strong> today.  We had nice weather, for late December, and I got a few things done with many more yet to work on but that is ok with me.  – WD0AJG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
