With all the rain we have had this spring the Cumberland River is filled to the rim. I have only seen the river this high once in the 10 years I have been here and that was a flood that flooded lower Broadway about 9 years ago, I remember the Budweiser truck floating down the river, I guess the fish were going to have a party and got them a beer truck. It was kind of funny, we saw the report of the beer truck floating down the river and went down to see it for ourselves. Let us hope it does not get that high this time.

I have been working all week with no air conditioning in the truck, and it has got very hot and humid this week. As much as I get in and out of the truck it would not help a lot to have working air conditioning but it is something that I want. So the first of the week I plan to put the Tahoe in the shop to get the air conditioning fixed and that means I will have to drive the big van and I will not like that very much it has no air conditioning either and it is a mess to drive in traffic it is so big, but I will manage I always do.

On my first weekend with out having to work I was given a list of “chores” to do and I see no way I can finish this list before I turn 65 and get ready to retire. It is a shame to miss all this good golf and fishing weather with a damn list of stuff to do. I think I will wait one week to start this honey do list and get in some golf before she finds out I am gone and then maybe I can go fishing later on when it cools off a bit. Maybe a nap befre then will help my mind work better, ya a nap is on the agenda.

UPDATE: There was no nap and no golf and no fishing, she found me.

I am very upset that CBS has decided to cancel The Unit, it is one of the shows that I really like and I used to look forward to ending my week by watching this great show on Sunday Night. I hope another network will pick this great show up and keep us involved with the very good characters that are in the show. It seems that every time I find a show I like they cancel it and that is starting to make me very angry about it. I hope they never find out what other shows I like so they will not be compelled to cancel them too.

It looks like the swine flu outbreak is slowing down to a dull roar. I was very watchful and washed my hands more than ever before. We had a few cases here in Tennessee and it was very frightning to me, that a type of flu could be that life threatning and hard to contain. Let us hope that it does not change around and show back up this flu season stronger and even more deadly. I think it could creat mass koas if it does.
