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.

Another cold evening and I am pooped. Today we did get the new carpet installed into our bedroom. It looks nice. The wife likes it, So I like it. A happy wife makes me and the Dog and the cat happy too. We did get some things moved back in, the bed and major furniture. We will tomorrow finish bringing back in our stuff and dusting. This is a good time to tackle this project as it is to cold for outside activity.

I did get back to cleaning and getting operational a lot of Shakespeare fishing reels. I hopefully will get some with good listing potential. it is rewarding to get them again in good operating condition, But it is very time consuming.

It is amazing how fast the days go by. I turn around and the day is gone. Why is that, Do we move slower while everything else moves faster. Or does it seem to go faster because we are going slower. I know I am going slower, I tire out. My mind still has its ambitions and desires, But the body does not want to respond as it once did. I have to work to keep the motivation for action active and alert. Maybe more of a small reward for action and a job well done. I am concerned about the day I run out of steam, and the working pressure goes too low for operation. But that will not be tomorrow. I will get some rest and hit the floor running. I wonder if younger people realize how short a year and a life time is. In my early years I too did not realize it.
Have a Blessed Restful Evening
