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. |
| The fishing trip spoken of on Day 52, Let me say I have had better trips. My years must be showing. I drove one plus hour, when only then did I remember I did not have my fishing poles with me. Yikes, What to do Drive back an hour to get the poles OR As I remembered there is a Big Box store Close by. So I went there and bought another fish pole. I only have about 20 poles the wife most likely knows the exact count. So I decided that I will make the best of a bad situation and try to fish with an open face reel, It was cheap also helped with the decision. I never learned the art of an open face reel. I grew up using closed face reels and have used closed face my entire life. At any rate It was another bad choice. I fought with that reel all day. You reel-ey can not teach an old dog a new trick, Or how to use an open face reel. On the positive it was a very nice weather day, little wind with sun. I did manage between curses and laughs too get two small Walleyes and two small perch. I did not get skunked and I hope I learned a thing or two. I put the Kayak away for the season today. And so on to day 53-54, The painter still has not showed. So I am painting. I have gotten one porch finished with one to go. It is the larger porch so I hope she shows up a day or two before the cold weather sets in. I am hoping to get the boat in the water once more Up North. We shall see. It is only about 3+ hours north too the house, but the weather is two climate zones different from here, and not too the warm side. We had a fire lite in the evening last time we were up there. Today we brought in the last of the peppers, tomatoes and egg Plant from the garden. I picked up all the walking planks. Next up roto till and plant Garlic, Hopefully planting Garlic on Monday. I hope all is well with You and Yours........... Fathertymme |
