Psalm 90:10, "The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong....
Three Score and Ten the Introduction,

Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time.

Dear Grandsons and Others
Well, we are now fully into 2022, It does not feel any different from last year. Maybe it will as we go long. Yesterday and earlier today I was able to make care of the snow. I did get the 2021 reviews written; See last the entry. Last evening, we did our yearly To Do list. Our goals for the year list. I have been writing one for maybe 50 years. But why do it. I know most people do not and get along just fine. I think, Maybe not. It maybe my personality of being prepared. I value my time on this earth, In this life as my greatest treasure. So, I reason if I write down my yearly goals I can be focused. I will plan and use my time wisely. There are things that need to be done to keep a home. My list is Personal goals then maintenance on buildings, Then New Projects, business goals and yard and gardens. I do look at the goals through the year to see if I need to make time adjustments for their completion. Sometimes I just forget something that needs to be done.

But every year I say I need to put less on the goals list. I do try. There needs to be a realistic attainable list. It needs to be real. This year there is more items to be farmed out to hired professionals. I am now reluctant to climb around like a monkey. I get tired, I can't see well, nor hear well. But the list continues until the end but with more reliance on others. I will still go to the plate and swing. and I will have more balls and strikes, but less home runs. For me there is no choice I have to swing at the ball. When I can no longer swing it will be game over.

So, this year's list seems real and attainable, It is shorter or maybe the paper is just smaller. Know if I can find the needed help.

Have Blessed New Week
