Wow/! Where has the time gone? Already the 12th day of September.  Have not been on my bog in over a month.  Think, in the future, I'll just post most daily stuff here instead of Face book and just give them this address if they want to follow. 

 Well, did do a batch of Watermellon wine in late July.  Turned out very good so the people say.  Me? My screwed up taste buds from a minor brain seizure years back have everything tasting sweet, balance sucks, left side of face numb.  LOL. 

So with the rest of July 12th to write about. 

Took the Bride out for our afternoon ride that ended up at the Lacassine Pool . No Alligators present, one snake in the road and it quickly got off as I approached. LOL Like I was gonna run over it. NOT! Lots of birds roaming around and some babies at that

Then back home and getting past her bed time for sure at 5:30PM. Yes 5:30 pm!!!!!!!!!! LOL

So , Bubba's in town out of wine, Didn't feel like driving further. So, Guess whom has all kinda wine at his house? LOL We getting rid of what's been sitting on the desk.

And, Facebook and You Tube and soon Netflix.

July 13

Well back from Loggerheads and so fun with my friends there. 6 little bottles of wine put out by me for tasting and okayed. I kinda thought it was a bad batch but after a dozen tasters said OK. Guess I'll keep the rest and not throw it away.

Guess the next batch will be fig wine then.

With 9 gallons of them in the freezer. Sheese.

So on with this night and all the wine I wanted today with two big glasses at Loggerheads.

So, guess it's gonna be net flix next.

Sure not running out of wine in the shop. ha ha ha ha.

July 15th

Did get Dee's yard cut yesterday and so great to see her getting around so much better after her little operation a week ago.

And a visit from Dave Leger yesterday wanting to inform me about the Class of 63 get together coming up.

Wow '63. My sister graduated that year. Our pictures together in the 10 grade yearbook from '61. I did the 9th grade 2 yrs and the 10th 2 yrs before quitting school . Last 2 years was morning putting up with high school and afternoons at Trade School learning Auto Mechanics which served me well the rest of my working days. Worked with a pipeline company for a few months the into the Marine Corps for 4 years and 2 months.

Did a High School equivalency test in '63 and scored high enough for paperwork to be sent and mom bringing it to JHS for me to get a JHS high school diploma in '63. I had just got back from my first cruise on the USS Los Angeles Heavy Cruiser as a member of the Marine Detachment. What a trip and the sites I saw. All over the South Pacific, even Hong Kong and Korea.

The rest of my USMC time was around Long Beach, Ca, Camp Pendelton and back overseas till I got out in March of '66.

And so far, still alive and pretty well at 80 yrs old since March 29. LOL the March 29 birthday date has another story. LOL.

Lots of rice in the harvest mode and some farmers have the equipment ready.

The more serious side of life is with Da Bride's health and state of being. Memory worst by the day, Balance worst by the day. So, he doc here in town is sending her to a specialist in Lafayette. And I do not like Lafayette as have not been there in over 10 years. No need!

A map of where I need to take her.

And the trip did suck as several road construction projects had me running in circles. LOL but finally succeeded.

Did turn 114K miles on the '16 Traverse I call Da Wagon Been a great vehicle as I really didn't know if I was gonna like it when getting rid of my 03 Truck and Vette in Feb of '21. But loving it. So Far.

July 19 bought > Chill time till Loggerheads time. DA Bride says she wants a wine there. Yes, she twisted my arm. Ha ha ha ha .

One Dee's yard cut , lawnmower cleaned and put up. Trailer put away.

The Wagon with trailer and lawnmower. Fixing to head to Dee's for grass cutting.

July 20 and work still going on with the Heywood building. Gonna be neat. Plus several other projects happening in Jennings for sure.

Saturday! And 22 days into July! Been a very warm month and we still have August to go or more. Oh well, tis what it tis. Maw Earth in a warming cycle and our industry helping a bit. And don't even believe Maw Earth cares about us.

Fun yesterday evening at LA Bar meeting the usual Friday friends. Catching up on what's happening with my old and new friends there. Talking about the coming rice production and very soon, the combines and rice hauling equipment will be very busy. To peeps like me that love to roam the countryside, be aware and give those farm people right aways and room. I hope to get many pictures to share.

New hose was installed yesterday on my air hose reel in the garage as the old hose just had a hole pop up the other day. LOL Worked up a sweat just doing that.

Also a little ride about with Da Bride covering the area towards Evangeline to Iota and back around by Garber Sweet potato place ( or as many remember " The Four Corners Dance Hall " . No rice being cut but gonna soon.

Picture of the hose reel I have hanging in the garage.

Destruction of the Old High School in major progress. Went to school there for 7 years. Oh well. That was over 60 years ago. LOL!

Hello 26th Day of July! And yes, the throbing nerve that got damaged in my right leg has quit bugging me for attention. Now for the little wound to heal. Alcohol rub down and neosporin already applied this morning when getting up at 04:10.

So, wonder what the winds gonna bring out way this day? We'll just smile and wait.

A picture of my favorite kind of road. Country road, Crops and animals or what ever in the fields, cruise control set on about 45 to 50 mph, no traffic. Still miss my motorcycle days though.

And on the 26th day of July a trip about town and to the bayou to see how it looks. A green scum on it this day for sure.

Another place in town being redone is the old Manual building at the corner of S Main and W Division. What's it gonna be? Hmmmmmm.

And with the rice cutting happening, the birds are having fun.

And on July 31st.

Sad to say, one of our neighbors died today. Don't know the family that well even though they live across the street for many years. Just not much of a visitor here. But, life goes one.

Did weed eat the rest of the yard and used both mowers to cut the grass. Watered the plants that look like they be on their death bed. ha ha ha ha

Then Da wife off with Sis and her step daughter to go visit the other sister.

Then our afternoon roam about went this way.

Chunkie's in Basile , La. Where I first asked my wife for a date in 1966 about 2 or 3 months after serving with her for a friend's wedding. And still a stop today for a Milk shake.

And that ends posts for July. Really do love my life sometimes not my body but that's just a thing. ;-)

Next comes August.
