Our winter has returned as
we have been having some pretty cool mornings but warms up to be a nice spring
day. It is going to be down in the low 40’s tonight. Grandma didn’t go to
church with us today as her knee is bothering her plus she wouldn’t want to be
out on a cold morning. Pastor Randy had a good message today and in Sunday
school we started a new lesson book studying 1, 2 Corinthians. Today lesson was
United in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:10-25). Thank you God for being with us studying
your word with fiends today. We visited for a while after Sunday school so was
near 1:00 pm when we got home. This afternoon Cheri and I worked on income
taxes. At 3:30 pm the NASCAR race started so you know I spent the rest of the
afternoon watching the race. Cheri read, napped, and watch some of the race
with me. We at our usual Sunday evening pizza for supper. I am still going
through motorcycle withdraw, I know it was the right thing to do but that doesn’t
make it any easier.

Today was a bitter sweet
day for me. I had put the motorcycle on Craigslist a few days ago and today a
couple of parties were coming to look at it. The first guy came at 9:00 am and
check it out and bought it. While he went to the bank to get the money I called
the other guy and told him that the bike was sold. Then I had Cheri take a few
pictures with me and the bike. As this is the last bike I will own which means
an end to motorcycling. I know in my mind that it was the right thing to do but
still was hard to give up something I have done for many years. Cheri made a
trip to Wal-Mart this morning for a few things we needed. When she got back we
had an early lunch as I had to be in Dade City at noon to meet three other guys
from our Sunday school class. Today is the Baptist Wild Game Feed which is
where a large group of guys from different churches get together and cooks all
different kinds of wild game. There usually are around 600 guys that come but
this year there seem to be less guys. Our group deep fried fish and gator.
After the meal they have a guest speaker deliver the message and then a drawing
for a lot of door prizes. After all was said and done it was around 9:30 pm
when I got home.

Cheri and I both had a bad
night as I was up at 4:30 am and Cheri at 5:30 am. So we decided to go out for
breakfast that the Sunshine eatery. After breakfast we headed to Tampa as I had
a 9:00 am appointment at the VA. Things went well and got a good report. Also
made a stop at the VA optical department to have a new nose pad installed as I
lost one this morning. We were back home by 11:30 am. Cheri finished the
laundry and I did some computer work. At 1:00 pm I went and did a roof repair here
in the park as there was a leak around the skylight. While I was loading the ladder
into the truck a couple that was out walking their dog stopped and talked to me
about my handy work. So I ended up with another job of removing a 24 inch
bathroom door and replacing it with a 30 inch door. When I got home I worked on
replacing the outside security lights that I bought last week, another good job
to have done. We met Mike and Pam at 5:15 at Panera Bread to have soup and
sandwich before going to Ron and Sandy’s for our Life Group Gathering. It was a
good night to spend with friends and learn about God.

Wow! Two months gone for
2018 already, don’t know where they went. Cheri and I discussed about getting a
new dishwasher this morning. I had looked for the manual last night and couldn’t
find it so Cheri was going to look for it today. For some reason the dishwasher
showed that it was in the lock position, not sure how that happened. Well Cheri
got on line and Googled the problem and got an answer on how to unlock it. So
later in the morning while at work I got a text from Cheri telling she fixed
the dishwasher, great news. Cheri also took Grandma for her radiation treatment
which takes a good chunk of the day. Plus she did laundry. I was doing power
washing today. I finished the house I was working on Monday. I also power washed
the front entry way, garage floor, sidewalk, and driveway. I did a repair to a
patio door blind that was broken. On the way home I stopped at the dealership
to get another temp tag for the truck. It has been three months and all I get
is excuses but this time it got lost on someone’s desk and was told I would
have the plates in two weeks, of course I don’t believe anything they tell me
anymore. This evening we met Mike & Pam and Ron & Sandy at Pizza Hut
for supper. We had a good visit but was really noisy and hard to hear. The rest
of the evening was catching up on some TV shows.

I had another good night’s
sleep and felt more like working today. Cheri once again took Grandma for her 11:15
am radiation treatment. She also had to get groceries for Grandma and was after
1:00 pm when she got home. She spent time in her sewing room working on the bed
spread. I had a 9:00 am appointment at a place where I have done work before. I
installed a full length mirror, removed a drapery rod with a tapestry and hung
it in a different place, finished the cabinet install, installed a cabinet
rollout, modified a couple of cabinet shelves, and installed a light fixture in
the den. On the way home I made a stop at the place where I had installed the
bathroom sinks as I had got a call that the cold and hot water in one of the
sinks was wrong. The shut off valves under the sink are supposed to be cold
water on the right and hot water on the left, well that wasn’t the case with
one of the sinks. It was still my fault for not checking as this isn’t the
first time I have found this (lesson learned). When I got home I unloaded the
truck and then took it through the car wash. Cheri made chicken quesadillas for
supper, very good. The dishwasher quit working and time to look for a new one.
I had repaired it last year and now seems to have the same problem so a new one
is in order.
