Good morning flatlanders

Lots of grey clouds out this morning but I doubt it will rain, at least its not hot out.

Get to finish 1 job today and then can focus on my other distractions. Tomorrow until Tuesday I have to wrap up my brothers transfer to the care home, need to buy him a bed and some light furnishings and all the small things he'll need like bedding, towels, hygiene products, clothes and all the other things he'll need. Everything has to be new in order to prevent bugs, mites and other creepy crawlers from getting in the building, only his clothes can be used so that helps. Tuesday is his transfer day starting at 11 am, so thats going to be a whole day of setting everything up, will be one more distraction taken care of. Lifes coming and going in to many directions right now so it will be a relief to get rid of a few of these unexpected headaches.

We got rain....finally!!! I get off today since we can`t build trails in the mud.
We had a dandy thunder storm last evening so not an evening for cruising John. We got some rain in the evening and more over night into today. It`s still trying to rain.
How`s your brother taking his transfer to the care home Perry?
Happy Friday to you too Grant. It sounds like you`ll have a busy week during your time off.

They were supposed to be ready to go a month ago, but they got too busy, and fell behind in production. I couldn't book holiday's till they were ready.

Good evening folks

Was a cool day out this way, the storm that was here yesterday mostly passed us by.

Today wound up being the last of financial take over for my brother and I wound up at his bank for an hour making sure everything was signed and witnessed so that now everything is legal and now I'm his legal guardian. My brother thinks he's going home to his 4 bdrm condo, Ferrari, helicopter, jet plane and is going to be back to living his millionaire lifestyle. have to buy him a bed, frame, sheets, comforter, pillows, socks, slippers, any other clothes he needs, his hygiene stuff, bath towels, a chair, desk, lamp and anything else that a person needs to move into a dorm room. It's like setting up your kids room so that they can move back home. Tuesday is transfer day starting at 11am, am figuring that I'll be there all day putting his room together. Everything has to be new so that theres no bugs or mites getting into the building and the staff inspects it all while your parking and they're moving the stuff to the room. My brother is at a happy go lucky stage right now so the staff will try to keep him that way and will tell me how to handle him, shouldn't be to difficult to deal with him Morris.

Feels good to get some of these outside stress situations taken care of, next up is this moving nightmare.
