Not a Lot Happening

The weather has been hot here. Temps in the high 80's and low 90's. So far no days with a heat index of over 100 but I think we did have one with a head index of 94. It's 5PM here and the actual temp is 91. No more 90+ days in the 10 day forecast so that will be nice.

Kathy watched Nolan a couple of days last week and both Mon & Tue this week. Lydia gets off the bus at the top of our driveway at 4:30PM. Hadly, the neighbor girl who is in Lydia's class and who lives in one of the houses where our driveway intersects the road, came down here for an hour or so last night. Lydia is up playing at Hadly's this evening. Andy normally picks her/them up 5:30-6:00. Tonight she is staying until 8:00PM.

We had lightening strike close to the house Saturday night. It fired the power supply on our modem and damaged the modem. I had a good power supply left from the last modem that went bad. I get it back up and running but the speeds were HORRIBLE, as low as 0.3Mbps. I finally contacted CenturyLink yesterday and they had a guy out here this morning. He replaced the modem and now we are up to over 7 Mbps. (just checked & got 7.26 down & 0.77 up)

Friday I helped Larry Farley build some more concrete forms for about 1.5 hours in the AM and right after lunch I went back over for another hour but the foundation wall was almost finished. Monday I went back and worked a couple of hours stripping some of the forms. 2 hours in this heat is all this fat old guy can handle 😀. Yesterday I helped a couple, Billy & Maggie, move. Billy is a firefighter and he had lots of guys (big strong guys) helping him. I went over with my truck and trailer, 1 of 5 trucks and trailers, and helped but didn't need to lift anything heavy.

Sunday I went to Freshwater Church in Jefferson City again. I have a meeting with the Pastor set up for next Wed. I've got some questions to ask before I change my membership. Of the 5 churches I have tried it is the closest to one that I think I might want to attend. I would strongly prefer a non-denominational, house church, but I can't find one in this area. Freshwater is a Baptist church and I'm concerned that it is to top heavy. I want to attend a place where the donations go to missions, not maintenance of the facility & management.

This morning was our Men's Fellowship & Bible Study. Only had 4 guys today but we had a good time. Gary, one of the four, was just back from a several week long trip out west. Sounded like he and his wife had a great time. I probably should have mowed the lawn this afternoon but I put it off until tomorrow.

Time to go. Lydia just arrived from Hadley's and Kathy will be heading to a 6PM Bible study.

God is good, may He bless you and yours
