Well its suppose to be Fall and I am still waiting for the cooler weater. Its been in the low 90's the last couple of days and is suppose to cool to the low 80's starting tomorrow. Humidity is low to like about 26%. I think it is suppose to rain on Thursday an we sure need it. Did get a little shower the other night.
Chuck came home 2 days in a row covered in grease (Ugh!) after helping the neighbor fix his bull dozer. Its been leaking hyrolic fluid for 2 years so Joe just keeps putting the fluid in. He's a big man and can't get down and get under the dozer to see whats wrong. So Chuck did and found the leak. All it was, was an .89 bolt. So Chuck went over today and got the bolt on it and its fixed. Joe tried to pay Chuck, but Chuck reminded Joe that he came over and mowed the 3 acre field for us. I guess this is called bartering. Works for us.
We are heading to town to buy the wire for the hot tub and GFI and materials to build the horse a shelter before winter. We will have to drive over the other side of the mountain to get the steel for the roof. Want to get this done before the cold weather sets in. Most of the locals leave their horses out but Jim is 35 years old with an arthritis problem so we try to baby him. We have had him since about 1993 so he is a member of the family. We have him out in the yard now to munch on the grass. He seems to get something out of it because he is gaining weight. He was losing weight running up and down the fence line chasing the female horse in the field next to ours. So the neighbor moved the horse. Guess he noticed Jim was losing weight.
Well I'm off to the big city! Ha!

About Us
- Kitcat
- I'm Cathy, a 67 year old retired Navy wife. Spent 24 years as a Navy wife until my husband retired after 27 years of service. We traveled all over from Washington D.C., to Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Maartin, Martinique, Japan and Korea. We re-located to this beautiful state of TN from Central FL. We live in the mountains on 5 acres with our 10 cats (5 indoor). I'm Chuck, the Other Half of the equation. I'm a 68 y/o sailor at heart. While in the Navy I was a Cryptologic Tech (Intel type). My most memorable tours of duty were in Submarines (Scorpion, Skipjack, Triton & Ray), as Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Deputy Director National Security Agency (RADM C.F. Clark), and my last tour as Operations Chief at NSGA Homestead, Fl during Hurricane Andrew. It was a good time to retire. We have been looking for this home since 1965 and thank the good Lord that we're finally here.
