Sean,
Oh, mergatroyd!! Look what crawled out of the woodwork. <G>
More like "look what the cat dragged in" with the way I feel.
At least it wasn't like what the dog did on the ground. <G>
I'm glad you weren't hurt any worse. I'm also glad that you were able
to find a droptop for a new car. :D
Well, I'm going to keep the top closed. We had rain much of yesterday,
and are supposed to get thunderstorms Sunday and Monday.
I am still waiting on Social Security. I'm hoping that with the
backpay from that I will be able to find something decent around here
for a vehicle. I'll definitely be getting a used vehicle though if
it's going to be a 4-door sedan or a small 4WD pickup will be up to the luck of the draw.
That Volvo 2 door hardtop convertible was the cheapest I could find in
the area. From what I understand, Volvo's are good quality cars. It does
cost a bit for repairs, but those apparently are few and far between.
As for Social Security, I was denied disability twice, then my late wife Janice and I (who you got to meet years ago), hired a lawyer. We went
before an administrative law judge...then every day for 5 months, we were praying (dare I say "pleading"??) before The Lord for a favorable ruling.
Seven months before she died, that's what I got...and the first words out
of my mouth, upon learning of such, were "Praise The Lord Of All Creation". Yet, they keep finding stuff wrong with me.
As for the wreck, if you see someone grab their neck in a wreck, they
are faking it. Injuries from those don't show up until a few days later,
as your adrenaline is in overdrive for at least 2 days after the wreck. I
am undergoing daily chiropractic care, and the doctor will decide on Monday whether I can cut that back to 3 days a week.
At least the claim for the totaled out car came in, so I can now go and
get the tags for it, and pay the property tax on it.
I haven't been quite the same after my COVID-19 illness. I've been
having headaches and tinnitus. No one at the VA seems to know what to
do since they can't just toss pills at me due to my blood clot and
blood thinners.
I'm not on any blood thinners, but I tend to bleed like a stuck pig. I
also get cysts all over the place. Years ago, I had a rather large benign
one on the left butt cheek, that had to be removed surgically. It had to
heal from the inside out as it was so deep, so I required home health care
for 6 weeks. My late mother-in-law quipped "you get to show your butt, and
have it rubbed". <G>
So I am just waiting for now. I am trying to get the energy to do
things around the house. I did move my IC-718 into the motorhome and
have set up the Signalink USB you gifted me and a new CI-V control
cable (arrived yesterday). Digital modes are so far, so good. I'm
using my Windows laptop since my other laptop died but this one isn't doing much better, I'm afraid.
I've had 2 BSOD errors with Windows 10, but thankfully, those have been
few and far between.
To quote Talking Heads, "same as it ever was".
Same old, same old...you don't ever hear of "same new, same new". <G>
Take care, my friend. :)
Daryl
... Think you're confused?? Wait until I explain it!!
