Where the heck have I been?

Have no fear, I am back. Never really went anywhere, just got out of the habit of posting here. Can't promise I will post here regularly once more, but I'm posting now, so that is something at least.

I've had a lot of arthritis problems as of late and they have kept me from typing at the keyboard for the most part. Oh I could press a key or two with a couple of fingers, but nothing like I am doing now, which is touch typing.

I've also been busy with other projects, such as building an electronic repair bench and then videoing me working on various things there. You can view those on my YouTube channel and looking at the Electronics playlist.

I've done a little work on my Buick, I replaced the passenger side floor that was rusted out. Had the help of my granddaughters Lexi and Kylie for that, plus my brother-in-law Jim came up from Lexington, Kentucky to weld the new panel in. The next project I hope to accomplish on the car is painting the roof. I plan to use a roller and Rustoleum paint. Should be interesting.

Speaking of Lexi and Kylie, they have been learning to cook here on Wednesday evenings. I pick the girls up after school each day and their father usually picks them up after he gets off. But on Wednesday, he works late and Kylie has youth group, so it was decided that they would take turns cooking dinner here that evening. It has been interesting, but mostly good. I'm happy they are learning this valuable skill.

I'm sure most of you already know this, but I became a great grandpa for the second time since last we spoke. My oldest granddaughter, Jordan, gave birth to little Lainee Rene' Eaton on September 30th of 2014. She was Born at 4:22pm, weighed 7lbs 15oz and was 21inches long. 

As a bonus, Jordan and her brother Billy moved into the place across the street from me. How nice is that? Sure is nice to have family living close by. Both of them are pharmacy techs at the CVS in Columbus, Indiana. My daughter Autumn, or Mimi as she is known now that she has a grand child, does most of the babysitting while Jordan is at work. 

So you can see, I have been fairly busy, not so much doing anything in particular, but just living life each day. BTW, it is 2:47 AM here and I'm mostly typing this because I can't sleep. I have a lot of those nights lately, but considering I went to bed about 9:30 the night before and didn't get up until 9 this morning, well, that does cause one not to sleep at a normal time I would think.

Hope to be more regular here if possible. Thanks for listening...
