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. |
| Wow, What a windy day with a bit of rain early. I quit painting, I was afraid the paint can would blow over since it is only quarter filled. That would not be good for my composure. But painting will be over with for now as it gets colder with rain for a few days. I have made some good progress. It looks like later I will be able to paint into November. I have a choice to make this evening, Do I go to the Northwoods to button things up for winter as needed. I would leave tomorrow and be gone during the time I can Not paint. OR do I stay here to bid on the line auctions. Good sense tells me to leave some bids and head north. There was snow today up there and it is expected to get down to 21 degrees this coming week. The strawberries will need to be covered, boat and motor made ready for winter, Tractor drained and parked. I still need to cut the neighbors tree down. We always drain the house for winter, shutting down the hot Water heater and draining it. We use a electric tea pot and teapots on our wood stove for hot water during winter. We drain the cold water system completely, and fill it as needed when we go up during winter. I feel like old man winter is breathing down my neck. It happens every year about this time. Everything needs to get ready for winter and I have to kick it into high gear. I am starting to think about Ice Fishing. When normally I go ice fishing I come back with at least 3 pounds of ice, That's a Joke Son, as Foghorn Leghorn used to say. I will write of Ice fishing at a later time. I just went through the auctions and made some bids. When I bid and I am not able to protect my bids, It is most common to loose the bid by 1.00. Most of the time if I am real serious about a item lot I need to get down into the pits and slug it out. I always seems that everyone wants the same items I want. It does make for some serious anxiety excitement. The Little Dog gives my therapy afterwards. I am starting to run at the mouth, so I will say Good night, and God Bless. |
