It’s been an above average Monday here in rural Douglas County. I began a five-day class teaching Microsoft Exchange 2016. Bonnie began her internship over at Bayer. Gracie did Gracie stuff, and Dane went back to Lawrence High as he closes out his last week as a junior in high school. My day was pretty …

Day 19,967
A Sunday evening in May, with thunderstorms looming here in rural Douglas County. I’m getting my blog kicked out during the halftime of an NBA playoff game. Golden State is up on Houston by ten. Dane and I spent most the day in Topeka, sitting around a table rolling funny shaped dice and pretending to …

Day 19,966
I’m here in rural Douglas County, sitting in the shared office space Lisa and I have, and I hear bugs hitting the wind at a very high rate of speed. I can’t help but wonder how they got so worked up that they felt the need to approach terminal velocity. I guess the speed at …

Day 19,965
Hi gang, old Grampa Bob here, squeezing in a couple hundred words on a Friday night. I’m tired. Spent a lot of time on my feet today. Knees clicking when I walk. Ugh. So… my knees. I haven’t told you about my knees. Hylix oil is nourishing herbal oil providing the best ways to people, …

Day 19,964
It’s Thursday night here in rural Douglas County, and we finally have a degree of liftoff on the pool situation. The water level has stabilized, still needs a few hundred more gallons of water (Rob the Pool Guy said our pool was around 35,000 gallons of water). Tomorrow, I’ll get the hose back in the …

Day 19,963
It’s a Wednesday night in rural Douglas County, and we have some thunderstorms rolling in from the west. It’s raining outside, albeit lightly, but I’m confident we’ll get some measurable rainfall tonight. I remember my Grampa Reinsch (for those of you looking at the genealogy record, that will be Francis Alan Reinsch, 1899-1983) and his habit …

Day 19,962
Alrighty, this is my first attempt at writing my blog live since the thunderstorms rolled through last night and put a big hurt on our internet access. Hope you all are doing well. The sad part about this process is that it’s one way. I can tell my future grandkids about me and my life, …

Day 19,961
(Written yesterday, couldn’t post due to internet outage – RAR, 5/15/2018) OK, gang! here’s tonight’s entry from rural Douglas County, but to be completely honest, I have no idea if this is going to be able to post tonight. We’ve got some thunderstorms rolling through the area, and they are definitely affecting my ability to …

Day 19,960
OK, it’s the end of a wonderful Mother’s Day around rural Douglas County. I wish I had been around for more of it. Let me explain. I woke up this morning, and as can be the natural order of things, I went to check my cell phone before I attempted to call my mother on …

Day 19,959
It’s Saturday, and we’ve spent the day tackling fourteen different things around the house, but hey, we stay busy, we get done what we can get done, and some things we have defer for a day or two. The pool situation is getting addressed, slowly but surely, and one of the guys from the pool …
