Yes, it’s Jim’s birthday tomorrow. He was really born on August 6th, but legally changed his birthday to April 15 to help remind him that his government needs his money. That’s a lie. His birthday has always been April 15th. Many notable people were born on April 15th, like: Leonardo da Vinci 1452, George Washington 1741, Roy Clark 1933, Samantha Fox 1966, … OK, so there’s only 4 of them. Actually, I found a very long list of notable birthdays for April 15th, but those 4 are the only ones I recognized. Jim’s is the only one that’s important for this missive. He’s going to be 37. Or, was he born in ’37? Doesn’t matter because he’s still older than me. Always will be. This is Jim…
I’m sorry! That’s actually Jack with a beard so he could be a proper Sanhedrin man for the musical he was in. This is Jim, watching TV in his recliner …
Notice how high his forehead is. Diane tells me mine is really high but I told her that’s an illusion because I’m taller than she is. Apparently that was the wrong thing to say.
For punishment, I had to finish triming all the apple trees and burn all the acquired branches. It was a nice day, so I really didn’t mind. And, she helped me and she even drove the lawn tractor with the attached trailer to carry the branches. That was special. We had a good time working in the yard together. Now all we need to do is put in about a week of work in the flower beds to make them presentable. I have a really nice 4-stroke weed whacker that would take care of the flower beds fairly quickly, but don’t think I’m going to be allowed to do that. Maybe one day when she’s out doing something else …
My face burns … must have stood too close to the burn pile. Kind of hard not to because I use our small Oreck vacuum cleaner, on ‘blow’ not ‘suck’, to fan the flames. That makes it burn really hot and reduce everything to ash in no time. I had to use three extension cords to get power all the way to the pile. It’s about a mile to the pile, all up hill. Both ways.
Tomorrow we will install the new awning on the RV. It was on the porch when we got home last night from the TVCC meeting. We were going to do it today, but the yard captured our interest for the entire day. Now it’s 7:31 pm and too late to figure out how it all goes back together. There are awning parts laying all over in the driveway. I’d take a picture, but I don’t know what Diane did with the camera. She’s always hiding stuff for me.
I think I’m done here. Hope all is well on your ends.
Happy Birthday Jim
