A Dam Site…

Yesterday I made the trip to get my hearing aids cleaned and a new test to update the programs…yep, new hearing aids have programs.  On the way out, the office is near Baptist Medical Center in OKC I saw these two looking for the Doctors office?

I think they were at the wrong address?

On my way home I took a little detour to check out some antennas…you know being a Ham you have to check out all those antennas but near the antenna farm…which I didn’t get pictures of today but will go back for that… I did get this neat old homestead.

The fence could use some fixing but the old rock well house or ? was interesting…

Later in the day I spotted this really mixed up family car?  now who do they root for?

I would say it is OSU as they have double for that but ?  one never knows.

Today I had to get out early and give blood… another Dr visit next week… got some breakfast and then hooked up the trailer to the jeep (first time) and made a trip to Lowes…

I had to get some DIRT for the moved raised bed I put together the other day… since I am retired I figured I should start getting on all those jobs I have put off , but I can say one thing.  I need to pace myself.  I got plumb wore out today.  I hefted 40 some bags into the trailer and out of the trailer and into that box..

and still it wasn’t enough so will have to make another trip but that will be later because when I ready to put the trailer up I spotted the driftwood on the damn.  I have the damn end of a pond and of course the end is the downwind damn end. (I know I am spelling it wrong… so says you… correct according to how I feel tonight).  Anyway I proceeded to back out on the dam, and then go up and down and up and down and up and down for several hours loading all that DRIFTWOOD!…

All that and I only have a little over half the dam but of course the prevailing SW wind points it all to my end… I still have a few that wont be moved for a while..

They are too big and I wasn’t going to get the chain saw out to cut them up… would have meant I had to service the saw first??? and that would be another hour to 2 hours before I could get started sawing so… just push them up out of the way and maybe use them for setting on? anyway it now is pretty cleaned up…and waiting for the next flood to fill the pond.

Maybe I should do some grass and brush trimming near the blackberry bushes?  well maybe if it doesn’t fill up first. ha!

So I got clean ears, clean hearing aids, re-programmed , moved dirt and had a DamnSite cleaning afternoon… and I am wasted… I am sure going to need to taper my retirement activities or I will be looking for another job soon to rest.
