Commitment is nothing that I
have ever been afraid of; after all we have been married now for over
forty-four years. And I am more than sure many have thought though in spite of
that that I should be have been committed years ago many a time, bud dump bum, but that hasn’t
happened to date, yet, thankfully, wink, wink.
Any-who, today was the day I
became a grown-up, yes kiddies a real grown-up!
I am officially in the system
to be covered 100% by my supplemental of the letter “N” to my additional
Medicare with A, B & even D! All in some wildly affordable alphabet soup of
care, yippy!
Being less than what my
nightmare medical care had been previously, and I use the word loosely, and all those years having to have had
to pay out!
Papers were signed and
sealed, and within a few days money will be withdrawn from our account. I know,
I know, but cheapo person here and concerned person Hubby and I came to an
understanding that we were NOT dealing with a fly-by-night company but a long
existing company and so to my liking we will also be saving $132 a year by
doing this… sure it is not an extremely large amount but it is something and
nothing to sneeze at!
Moving on and stepping away
from the Medicare topic!
Hubby has been redoing our
larger dock, the 20’X24’, not the finger pier since that has stayed fine all this time.
The larger dock has pressure
treated boards and was last redone way back after Hurricane Charley had its way
with her…fall of 2004, methinks. So the fact that it's been a wee bit funky over
these last few years with bad boards that curl, but oddly enough lie down when rain
hits them even though they had been waterproofed, is way too weird and unexplainable, even when new boards were replaced in the same areas.
Sure if we were very wealthy
we could replace the whole shebang with composite boards made from recycled
materials, but the price for that would be way too dear for our pockets; tens
of thousands so we have been told.
Problem solving is one thing
Hubby and I like knowing that we have done so often over all these years due to tight budgetary concerns and
this is what he and I thought would work, mostly him since while cutting out
the bad boards we had already determined that the dock’s size was more than we
actually needed, and so Hubby is recycling the really bad boards into the hole as a partial filler
while the better ones are being turned over and used looking rather great in my
unbiased opinion like brand new ones!
The new dock style will revert to its original
sort of upside down “L” shape/form. The skeletal area that is seen to its right
is mostly on this side of the seawall and is slowly being filled in with soil
and clean debris etc., and grass will eventually cover it. The remainder will be
open to the water. The “L’s” width is actually eight feet at its narrowest and twenty-four feet
long to the end of the dock’s current location, but will go to the right and will
be at an eight foot width too but a total of twenty feet long across the water, all recycled, turned over boards or new boards if needed but probably
not.
On that note with much hope
for Hubby’s idea project to be done as soon as he can and as you may have also noticed
that the lift had been repaired weeks ago by him with our boat on it and this
is the last big project outside for now. Allow me then to wish all of you all a very
happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and
share all your overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
