Catching up

I know I haven't posted a blog for a while and I thought I'd take this time to catch up on what I've been doing. I think the last couple of short blogs had to do with me cutting up storm downed trees and health so here goes.
I think my settlement with worker's comp finally went through on Tuesday and I've been involved with another law suit with the contractor who built the addition on to my house for about 4 years. I got a call from my attorney about that and met with him and it appears that the contractor is ready to negociate a settlement. It's still in the early stages so I don't really know what's going on because it in the lawyer to lawyer stages.
My sister's health hasn't changed but at least I've got her eating better and the doc took her off of her diabeits meds. She met a woman at the community center who asked her to join her at an Over eaters Anomynous meeting which I hope she will do. When I do house cleaning I find wrappers from candy and other things she shouldn't be eating. She's in Los Angles, now, getting some dental work done she started while she was living there.
I've been busy painting my house and has it taken a long time. If it wasn't raining it was windy so I had to do a lot of painting by hand with a brush and roller. The origional house, about 800 square feet, took 10 gallons of primer, the stucco was so rough and thick I had to put two coats on it. Then of course, my favorite, the trim all had to be done by hand. I bought this stuff called Acrylic Elastomeric Paint and painted the house with it. Hell, it's not paint, it's an Acrylic coating and the stucco feels like it's plastic. It was expensive but it's got a life time warrenty and it cover up all the cracks the stucco has. It also expands and contracts with the weather.
I cut and split about 3 1/2 cords of wood ( a cord is 4x4x8 feet) most of it Oak but a lot of other wood as well. When it's free you take what you can get. Oak costs about $350.00-$400.00 a cord so I made out pretty well and since I have to keep the house around 78F during the winter for my sister I go through a lot of wood.
On the 7th of May I go to see the surgeons about my operation which I plan to schedule for the 16th. I'd do it sooner but I'm going to be doing my Air Combat flying on the 9th (by myself) and she's returning from LA on the 15th.
On the 13th I'm going to fly back to Vancouver to see Cora and return on the 14th. I just haven't been able to find an escort in the Sacramento area that I like as much as I like her. It's a good thing she lives so far away. Amd my passport expires in June and I know it will take about 6 weeks to get my new one issued.
I've been dealing with a lot of issues with my sister's estate and it seems like I'm always talking to an attorney for either her case or one of mine. I'm in the stages of getting my niece's ashes disinterned and shipped to Texas to be buried next to my mom's. The lady in LA wanted to know what space my niece was to be buried in and found it hard to believe that there was no space only a plot. My granfather bought a plot in the Magnolia Cemetary in Woodville, Texas where his family and grand children could be buried back in 1900. They didn't have spaces then, only plots. I could have my ashes buried there but I'm going to donate my body to some medical school. I think that having aspairing doctors work on a body that has had damage from war, auto accidents and has 3 medically fused verterbrae in the cervical spine, 2 in the lumbar spine (from an infection) and an artificial knee and has had transplanted ligaments from cadavars for the ACL might help some other poor SOB. Or else have my ashes scattered by fire works. There's actually a company that will do a fire works show to scatter your ashes over the ocean. I have always like fire works and I might as well go out with a bang.
So life has been busy and I've been dealing with it one day at a time and, oh yeah, I got all 3 yrs of my taxes filed.:-))

Current mood: busy

Kotikk, No, oak wood is very expensive to buy and hard to find. I was lucky that I was able to find people who had old oak trees, planted at their homes that were blown over by a bad storm we had. A tree removal company woud have charged them a few hundred dollars to remove the tree and then sold the wood. I offered to remove the tree in exchange for the wood so I got the job. It was a win-win situation. Posted on: 05/04/08 15:58

I see you have quite cheap oak wood. Is it widely grown somewhere nearby? Posted on: 05/03/08 13:53
