Aftermath

Slowly getting started on the new Story/Book "The Knife and the Gun" Need a fast start. Initial equipping and start. Discussions with father. Making it logical. Then trip to Mississippi in one paragraph. Maps and changing plans, AAA. Main part must be S Calif and west to Mojave. Barn work to protect roof edge and then cut weeds tomorrow. This storm was just a warning. Maybe even some mowing? Danged Ladder is heavy and overly large for what I am doing.

Storm

Oley maintained power throughout the storm. Truck cap did not leak. Hope to contact about publishing. Decided to use Laird 'O the Prairie my longest book to date. Started on bool nine "The Knife and the Gun" Story or book I don't know yet. We'll see.

Hurricane

Reckon hurricane will come whether (weather) we want it or not. Question is not wind strength, but water volume and the Penn St bridge with its crack !

This week and next are to be a basically no writing week. House cleanup particularly the sun porch for writing and watching the raccoons. Got a lot of yard work done last 3 days. Must put assorted and sundry equip. away before the hurricane. It might make it as a yard yet. Got hunting license. Fortifying my knees with daily drink of white grape juice and Pecto. Strange, but it works. not permanent arthritis cure, but as long as you use it.... Grange auction at Leesport on Saturday.Expect to be there with my lady, Mitzi !

Finished my first eastern The story is told. Not satisified with ending. good if I want to do sequel. Don't plan to so, must change it.
