Good Afternoon, FS Warriors!

I trust everyone is having a wonderful day. I have been extremely busy, although I don't have a lot to show for it. We had our Nazarene District Assembly this weekend. It started Friday evening and commenced again Saturday morning. Although a good deal of time was spent going over numbers of various churches across the District, the District Supervisor made it very interesting, relating some pretty heart warming stories. The best part though was the speakers. I love listening to a gifted speaker and there is no lacking of them in Nazarene Church Leadership positions. I finished my 3rd course in the Ministry Preparation Program and I have a week off before my next class. I've already started studying the books for the next class though.

I finally got the church software program customized for our church and finished populating it with data. I meet with the Church Treasurer again about an hour before the Board Meeting to help her explain in her report what we have accomplished. I typed up a cheat sheet to help her get through it. She isn't an experienced accountant or a treasurer; that is the one reason that I wanted to put together a software program that did not require a lot of expertise once it was configured for our particular church. She has a good attitude, and that's what is important; I didn't want her to get discouraged and quit.

Back to the District Convention. Of course there had to be dining before and after. We went to Avanti's Friday night. Avanti's is an Italian restaurant. I think it's a franchise, but I don't know how many states they extend to. I chose what I thought was the least caloric: penne noodles and sausage in marinara sauce. OK, maybe not the least caloric on the menu. :) However, it wouldn't have been bad at just that, if I hadn't had so much of the complimentary bread. They kept bringing the little sweet bread rolls, and of course, we put the olive oil and Parmesan cheese in the dish to dip the bread in. So, to make a long story short, I am not beyond temptation, and I was not beyond indulging, so this will be a rough week - compensating for my indiscretion. Perhaps gluttony is the more appropriate word. Saturday morning - biscuits and gravy. There is just something about an event that brings out the worst in me. Maybe I should stay home. Nah; what fun is that! Adapt, improvise and overcome! It's a war. I'm in it to win it! Nobody said it was easy.

Hope everyone has a great week. Toodles!

I love breakthroughs! They don't happen that often, so I celebrate them when I do! Dunkin Donuts? Just kidding; I do not want to go through this again. It isn't that it has been painful to lose the weight; it just seems to take so long before I realize that I am out of control, and actually decide to do something about it. Toodles!

242.5 lbs. Hoorah; what a drop! Had to weigh twice just to make sure. Haven't gotten much more than studies done so far this week.

Good Morning, FS Warriors! Had a nice drop this morning; must have broken through. Temps have dropped and the rain has fallen, and I have been swamped with schoolwork. There is a pattern here; the last week of class is very demanding as a rule. That is when final papers and exams have to be completed in addition to the other daily requirements. The school goEs to such extremes to ensure online participation that it is much more demanding than actually attending in a classroom setting. I am already committed to another class that starts in a week and a half. After that, I am going to take my next class in a classroom setting.

I got our church started on some new accounting software, and spent all morning yesterday ensuring the first monthly report would be accurate. It makes it so much easier for the Church Treasurer to keep records, but there is a bit of a learning curve and it takes a while to populate everything initially and correctly.

I am still doing pretty well on the diet - ergo the pretty significant drop. I had been hovering around a plateau for a while; it always feels good when you break through. I haven't really been starving myself, but you would think so, compared to the volume that I had gotten into the habit of eating. With me, it always comes down to volume and portion control.

Well, back to the books! Hope everyone has a great day. Toodles!

Good Morning, FS Warriors! It has certainly been a while since I have shared everything you never wanted to know was going on in my life. Retirement is exhausting! But wonderful! I rewired the old Ford 8N tractor and got it running, drove around the block a few times, and then went and dragged some dirt around. I guess I'm a farmer wannabe; I just love old tractors. Finally decided to start finishing the floor downstairs where we are going to put in the Endless Pool. I had already broke up the concrete and put in gravel and a sump pump. Now I have installed the membrane on the wall that will direct any seepage down under the poured floor, which I hope to complete in the next week or two. Then we will begin assembling the pool itself. Found seven old heavy duty file cabinets that were used for tool storage at Caterpillar for sale on one of the social media pages, bought them and brought them home for tool storage out in the old gymnasium. They were heavy. Got a good deal on two trailer fulls of board lumber (free), which I hope to resaw and use for the new floor on the stage in the old gym.

Progress is slow on the weight loss. I finally just decided to eat when I was hungry and quit while I was still a little hungry. Seems to be working. To be quite honest, I am beginning to believe that the daily recommended doses of food are not all that reliable. For example, they say that a man needs a minimum of 1800 calories and women need a minimum of 1200 calories a day. Perhaps that is true when you are young and on the move all the time, but I'm not so sure that is necessarily true when you get older. Maybe it is true when you are in the Maintenance Mode; I really don't know. I'll let you know if I ever get there. If, while I am working, I start to feel a bit nauseous, I'll grab a bite to eat.

The grass was starting to get a little tall in spots all over the yard last week, so I mowed. Last night it went down into the 20's. Crazy! I have been asked how I'm doing on the old '59 Chevy Panel Truck. I haven't touched it yet. I made a promise that I would finish the pool and the kitchen before I played with it. I even have a spare V8 Chevy engine standing by in case the old original 6 cylinder engine is shot. I am hoping to keep everything original though. I have yet to wire the entire gymnasium; it gets a little depressing trying to work out there with inadequate lighting. As most of you know, I installed a new electrical service entrance last year; now I just have drop-cords running everywhere.

I've got to rewire and install new ceiling lighting in the church in the next few weeks. The ceiling is 20 feet high. I have a 21 foot stepladder, but it weighs 108 pounds and it really takes two of us to move it around. I'd rather not get a hernia with all the things I have going on.

BTW, I am one week from completing my 3rd Ministry Preparation course through the Nazarene Bible College. It is extremely challenging and demanding. I average putting in between 18 and 25 hours per week on them. Sometimes I get to bed near one in the morning. I only get one week off between courses.

I don't know how I ever had time to go to work before. I have to be more serious about planning my day now than I did before. I did get a good deal on a 15 ft fishing boat, so I will find a way to go fishing this year - that is after I weld on a new trailer jack and rebuild the front casting platform. Haha, everything comes with a project. Well, I hope that you are all having a wonderful week. God bless you; Toodles!
