Just letting you know that my vacation trip to upstate New York worked out well. We left at midnight Wednesday night, and started back Friday night at about 10:40 PM. I was in my own bed by 6:10 AM. I slept till 9:30 AM. Had breakfast ten started to get the Ford ready to go to the Ford Dealer to get the hit and run rear right quarter panel replaced on Monday at 8:15 AM. I’ll pickup a rental car then and use it for running around to save on gas. These big vans get between 12 and 15 mpg and that little car should get about 30 mpg or more. Well I am off for a nap I’ll have to finish this later. All of a sudden I just can not keep my eyes open.
I slept for an hour then the phone rang but no one was there so I am up for nothing. I guess I‘ll get ready to peel potatoes for supper, I am fixing roast pork, sauerkraut, and mashed Potatoes. Betty just asked if I was going to town as she is almost out of cigarettes. So I guess there is no rest for the wicked, I’ll be back later.
I’m back the potatoes are peeled and cooking, the pork and sauerkraut is just waiting on the potatoes. I am back from getting Betty Lee’s cigarettes. I also picked up my powerball ticket I also picked up a $5 scratch off called Humongus bucks, the first one I won $6 the second one I have won $5, I’ll turn it in when I get the Sunday papers. Wish me luck and prosperity.
Be safe out there and be well.
Love
Bob

Saturday evening 8/22
One of my Amish neibhors called tonight and said I know you are not driving any more but could you please take my wife and I to the midwife’s as she is in labor. I said sure as I knew the next closes person was at least 10 miles down the road, and the already had a few kids. About half way there she said we are not going to make it. Her husband called the midwife to meet us on the road. The midwife met us about 2/3 of the way there. She transferred an assistant and towels and blankets to my van (which took less than a minute) and I was off again 80 to 85 miles per hour again. We arrived at the clinic at 7:20 and at 7:23 he came out and said it’s a boy, he was born about a minute and a half ago. Damn I miss the excitement of driving these people. By 9:30 I was home again and we had stopped at her fathers to show him and his wife the baby. The mother sat up and joked all the way home about how she had scared me and her husband. The clinic is about 36 miles from my house on winding hwy 192 near Miflinburg PA. It is a pretty drive the top speed limit is 55 but most of it is posted at 45 and some at 40, so 80 to 85 was pushing the limits for that 15 passenger van. They gave me a $50 for taking them.
As I wrote earlier the damn income tax check did not come in. My original filing was the last week of February. They said they had not received one form, and I know it was there, because if it was not they would apply my refund to an old tax bill of Betty’s from before we were married. So I always check for it. I resent the form and they sent it back saying it was not needed, then I was told to resend the whole income tax 1040 and all attachments again which I did the a few days later I received another letter saying to send the injured spouse form again attached to this letter Which I also did. Then I started checking on line again on the status of my return, they kept telling me even up to today that I would receive it by 22 August, they lied. So this is where it stands after 6 months, I filed a claim the advocate general today this will even fix it or make it worse and probably get me audited next year.
Well be safe out there and be well

Lousy Luck 8/22
Well it is 12:40 PM and the mail just came, and no income taxes check. Right now I am in the process of filing with the advocate general. I am on hold on my cell phone while he is making out the complaint, we will see if this helps or makes it worse. I feel like I am drowning in my own stuff.
After this is done I must go and see a couple of people that I owe and make all kinds of apologies to.
I think that I am just going to try and get away for a couple of days and vegetate. I have a friend that needs a ride to upstate NY Wednesday night I might take him if he pays all the expenses.
This would let me get my head together and figure out what to do. This is a big financial mess for me. And I am not the kind that usually can not figure out how to fix these things. I also do not usually get depressed about this stuff but I sure am this time.
just writing about it pisses me off more so I will quit for now.
Be safe out there and be well.
Love
Bob

Tuesday Morning 8/22
I have to meet Rebbeca and taake her to the churches bank and help her transfer money from savings to checking. It will take both our signature's to transfer the money's.
I really would rather just lay around the house today, but that will not work. The church uses one of my banks so I will make a deposit at the same time. Well the income check did not come in yesterday so I do not know what is going on. I will go to the IRS site later today and try and find out what is going on. As I have said I filed at the last week of Feburary. That is about 6 months today.
Well I had better go get ready to get my act together. I need to shower and get dressed, so I'll write more later.
Be safe out there and be well.

Monday Morning 8/21
Monday morning, I had planed on sleeping till 7:30 AM, but got up at 7 AM. I had slept from 5:30 PM till 9:30 PM. I went back to bed about 2 AM and tossed and turned but feel rested. My sugar was 143 this morning. Not bad for hosting a 9 year olds birthday party.
I am off to the notary as I received the application for the change of names on the title and transfer of the handicapped plate from the 93 mini van to the 93 Maxi van. We also received the application for a permanent handicapped placard back as we forgot to sign it.
I hope the income tax check comes today; it will get me out of the financial hole I am in.
When we went to church yesterday I forgot to take her oxygen with us. It scared the shit out of me, but she said she would OK and was. This is a real good sign, I think the not much humidity was one of the keys to this. She has started to walk to the bath room and to the bed which I also think is helping her breathing. Her color is much better and her legs look great. I do not think they have looked this well since before she was sick. In fact probably about 2 years before she was sick.
My legs are still giving me fits, they get tired real easy and start to tremble and I get tired so quickly that it is very disconcerting. I have been trying to take it easy but the work alcoholic in me keeps kicking in, it is so hard for me to sit and do nothing. I ordered a full set of books given away by E-Bay to setup a store on E-bay. I am thinking about opening an E-bay store to sell Amish made products. This probably will be items from furniture to trailers and about everything in between. This will be on a commission basis I will just act as a middle man and not keep any inventory, and I will deliver certain things for a fee. I have not figured out exactly how this is going to work, it is a work in progress.
I must close and get to my appointment with the notary.
Be safe out there and be well.
Love
Bob

Sunday night 8/20
Well we survived Jared’s birthday party; he got a lot of loot a new intendo game player from his Dad and his brother and father. He also got a big rubber duck, a movie on DVD, a remote control 4 wheel drive truck, two board games and some other things which I have forgotten
The dinner went well roast beef, boiled new potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini and tomatoes, cantaloupes cubes, gravy. We still have chocolate cake to go. There were about 15 adults and his younger two cousins in the party.
I have plenty of boiled potatoes left over for home fries, and roast beef for sandwiches, there was also zucchini and tomatoes, and cauliflower. I had picked up 3 cantaloupes at an auction yesterday for $0.50 each and we all ate on one and there is some still left.
Well the cake was destroyed and I only had 2 pieces. Which of course Betty Lee hollered at me for, so what is new.
I went to an Amish benefit auction for a sick child yesterday and when I left I backed into an older Dodge Caravan. I took her right side rear tail light out. I filed a claim with Nation Wide Insurance last evening, what a pain in the butt, but I am glad for the coverage.
I could not send this earlier when I wrote the part above this. I do not know why I could not connect to the blogspot server.
I then had to take a nap as I must leave here in about 15 minutes (10:15 PM) I must be at a friends place at 11 PM. His car broke down and he must be to work at midnight. I am going to heat a big cup of coffee and get ready.
Be safe out there and be well.
