I just found out my favorite Aunt, and two others of my relatives are no longer with us.
~All at once, just like that.
Two in Pennsylvania, one in Maryland, and one each of my Uncles and Cousins are not in the best of shape...
I NEED TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD NOW!!!
In the morning I am going to jump on the suzuki car project like my own life depends on it
Midway through the month - this will take some spectacular money management
Happy Saint Patricks fooking day...

Another reckoning is taking place - the older brother who thought I was a toy to beat up in front of others has begun to have a come-uppance. The last thing I emailed to him was:
"It has taken me many years to learn that you are not as smart as I am.
YOU were the older brother - but that does not mean you cannot be stupid..."
It seems that he is in trouble, and has no money to fix it. To me that seems odd, since I gave him my share of our fathers inheritance money
To this day, he thinks to manipulate me, but he has no idea what the US NAVY taught me about people....
Mine is a long trail about which I should write a book - fiction or other
I have had a project like that in mind for some time.
WHO ARE WE?
A child - with all of the future before it
What will it do?
What become? And what make...
Only the future and the child can know
UBU - if the young one has any sense - it will

Sorry to hear about your loved ones, Wolf. My last aunt on my father's side is in the end stages of Alzheimer's and she is not doing well. That will just leave an uncle on my Dad's side, and an uncle on my Mom's side. My mother is also starting to have memory issues, but at 78, she still lives on her own and is close to one of my sisters.
The rain is coming-----again. Hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

Things that my brother dredged up about when we lived in Maryland are really weird, it's like he has convenient holes in his own memory.
But that figures - he's not a likable individual.
I'm over the initial shock of it all, and it will take a bit still to put a reliable travelling machine on the road with what will be needed. Woola for one - there has to be a kennel in the back. Jumping too fast with unreliable equipment would be a fools move.
Fortunately the weather has much improved, I can get out and do things again.
I even tried out the new lawn mower, and I can see that it will take getting used to. Seems to do well, but it won't hack down heavy stuff without great care. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner...
If nothing else this year promises to be interesting.
