I am covered!



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Papers were signed and sealed, and within a few days money will be withdrawn from our account.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!
