This Journey of a Thousand Days is the current Life Journey that this Wayƒarer is presently walking. This Journey of a Thousand Days began on Monday, 12 February 2024 and will continue until 07 November 2026

Awake, arise, step outside and walk up the long ramp to the restroom/shower house for a hot shower, after which, I return to the jammer, open the rear lift door and get out my electric tea pot, set the kettle up on the picnic table, add water and turn on the heater element to bring the water to a boil. Then, I get my three cups and fill each with their specific ingredients and when the water begins steaming, I then pour the hot water into each of the three cups. Next, I carry my three cups in through the driver′s door and set each on the office table. Then, I climb into the jammer and enjoy my f-meal whilst I turn on my computer and continue with my current web-wide upgrade.

When I have finished my breakfast, I step outside again and put away my kettle, wash my dishes and then put all of my gear back into their places. When that task is complete, I climb back into the office resume my work on the web site upgrade, continuing to pound keys into the evening. Then, since this is my last overnight here at this campground, I pack up the electric cord (the blue one) that I have been using to power the electric kettle and hot plate during my stay here, leaving the orange cord connected to keep charging my LiFePO4 RV battery, my computer and to allow me to keep my inside lights on.

Finally, at about nine, I turn off the electronics, and get into the horizontal, leaving the RV battery charger still connected hoping to get a reading of 13.0 volts or higher before I pack out tomorrow.

Awake, arise, dress in my summer blues and then walk up the long ramp to the men′s room, after which, I return to the jammer and get out my tea kettle to boil water. Then, I get out my three cups and begin gathering the ingredients to put into each cup. Finally, I poured hot water into each cup, after which, I carried the cups into the jammer and set them on the office table. Next, I go back outside and begin putting away the kettle and rolling up its extension cord, leaving the cord to the battery charger still connected, and when checking, find that the battery now has a charge of 13.1 volts.

Next, I climb into the jammer, connect my computer to the power strip and begin pounding keys to update my journal entries whilst I also enjoy my f-meal. The morning seems to fly by and soon, there is need for me to leave this state park and begin my return trip back to Whidbey Island. Since the park check-out time is one pm, I step out of the jammer at about twelve-forty and begin rolling up my last extension cord, and then I stow it in the rear of the jammer. Next, I open the engine hood, connect the battery, and start the jammer engine. Then, I get back into the driver′s seat and drive out of the state park.

I drive west along IH 84 until I arrive at exit 16, turn south and drive to Burnside Road where I turn into the hf-mart to purchase some much needed food stores from this location. However, this locations does not have all of the items that I have need for, so, after leaving the Burnside Road store, I drive back to IH 84, drive west until I arrive at IH 405 where I turn north, cross the Columbia river into Washington state and then take the first westbound exit onto Washington State Highway 14 and then drive west along the north bank of the Columbia River to the city of Vancouver. When I arrive in Vancouver, I take the northbound entrance onto IH 5, I drive north to exit 4 and take the NE 78th street one block to the west where I then turn into the parking lot of the hf-mart at that location.

Once I have parked, I then gather my empty shopping bags and walk into this hf-mart to purchase the remainder of the food stores that I have need of. After I finish shopping at this location, I return to the jammer and sit inside to await for the day to advance past the rush hour traffic before I leave to drive north back to Whidbey Island. While I am sitting here, I greet a street peddler, start a conversation and eventually work our discussion into a witness about Jehovah and His kingdom. I end up giving him my onlyu invention to the 2026 convention, which is ok because I can acquire more once I return to the Kingdom Hall in Oak Harbor.

Then, at about three in the afternoon, I start the jammer engine drive back to the interstate highway, take the northbound entrance and begin the long drive back to Whidbey Island. It is not until about seven-thirty when I exit the interstate and begin driving westbound on State Highway 20. It is not until nearly eight this evening when I cross Deception Pass bridge onto Whidbey Island and drive to Oak Harbor. Soon after, I arrive at the g-mart, pull into the same location that I normally use and park the jammer. After I turn off the engine, I climb into the rear and get into the horizontal for the night.

The crows belch out their normal boisterous chatter.

Awake, arise, start the jammer engine, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. I remain inside the air-conditioned cafe for the entire day.

This is just one more day that I remain in the rain shadow.

Awake, arise, dress in my fall blues, step outside to start the jammer engine, climb into the drivers seat and drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. I notice that the Madrona tree just outside of the north window of the cafe has several branches that have died, an entire section of the tree. This makes methink of the

Awake, arise, don my fall blues, step outside, start the jammer engine, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. As I am beginning my f-meal, an older lady walks up, introduces herself as Laurie and offers me, as a gift, an angel key chain. Immediately, I take this opportunity to give her a witness to the Truth contained within the Bible, and when she asks, clarifying that Bible Truth differs greatly from the doctrines of church religions. After asking if I may share a verse with her, I open one of my well practiced discussions with Psalms 90:10 where Moses writes that all of mankind lives about 70 to 80 years; that if he has strength (or is healthy enough) to live past 70 years then that strength is labor and sorrow (old age is tough if you survive it).

Laurie then looks at a chair, so I invite her to sit down for a minute and she pulls a chair up to my table and sits down. Then, I continue with my topic by asking Laurie, "If you could, would you like to live longer than that limitation?" citing the 70 or 80 years in the verse. "Of course", she replied. I then ask again, "May I show you another verse?" to which she says Ok. Telling here that I am going to the words of David, I turn to Psalms 37 and read verses 10-11, which indicate that ‘after all the wicked people are destroyed, the Meek ones will inherit a peaceful earth’ and verse 29 indicating that ‘the righteous will live forever there’. Then I say to Laurie, "This is both a prophecy and a promise from God" in which God indicates to us that in the future, He will restore the Paradise, allow only those who are doing his will to inherit everlasting life. Before I she can reply, her friend arrives and she tells me that she must go, so, I tell Laurie that if she has any questions about the Bible, fell free to ask me. Then, she leaves to join her friend.

This is when, I close my Bible, put it back into my computer bag and then return to my key pounding.

Awake, arise, dress in my fall blues, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. At noon, I get ready to drive to my doctor′s appointment on the Navy base. I drive to the north entrance but I am not allowed to get on the base because I do not have the security clearance for this base and must needs drive to the Langley (south) entrance to go into the Pass and ID Office to have my Veteranℙ ID upgraded with the correct security clearance.

This takes most all of the extra time that I had built into my drive to the Health Clinic and I arrive at the clinic about five minutes late. I still walk inside and up to the receptionists desk and tell her that I am here. She then tells me that she will confirm with the doctor that he will still see me. She comes back and tells me that the registered nurse will be out here soon to take me back to the examination room. So, I am able to see the doctor for my annual visit, during which, I give him my application to receive a new handicap placard to hang from the mirror, to which he tells me that it will take about two weeks for him to process it and get it back to me. .

The last VA doctor that I saw was able to do it on the same day that I showed up for the appointment, so the doctor that I a seeing today is either incompetent or has a vandetta against me. I feel this way because of my last meeting with him fourteen months ago for an appointment during which I felt that he treated me with contempt.

Upon leaving the base, I then drive back to the w-mart in town, park, walk inside the air conditioned cafe and then spend the remainder of this day pounding keys. Then, just before the cafe closes at eight this evening, I pack out, drive to the g-mart, park and get into the rear of the jammer for the night.

Awake, arise, start the jammer and then drive north on SH 20 to Deception Pass park, cross the bridge and turn into the entrance to the Bowman Bay Campground and Picnic areas. I drive to the restroom/shower house, park, gather my shower bag, towel and walk into the men′s room where I get into the hot water. After my shower, I pack out to the jammer, start the engine and drive back into Oak Harbor.

When I arrive in town, I drive right to the w-mart for coffee, com and key pounding. I continue here until about six this evening when I pack out, drive to the bank parking lot where I change into my meeting clothes, don my tie and then drive to the Kingdom Hall for the meeting. I am able to acquire a name badge for the 2026 convention and pick up three more of the convention invitations. After the meeting, I pack out to the jammer with it still daylight outside, start the jammer engine and then drive to the g-mart to park for the night. The crows are excessively noisy tonight but now, I have become accustomed to their night-time chatter.

Awake, arise, dress in my fall blues, start the jammer and drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. Later, I use some of my accumulated bonus stars to purchase a breakfast wrap and acquire a coffee refill. I remain inside all day until right before closing time when I pack out and drive to my friend′s home.

Since he is home alone, I take the opportunity to tell him about a impiety that I have noticed. (Matthew 18:15) I tell him that this is not something that he has actually done wrong, but is instead something that he has failed to do, and which by not doing the correct thing, could possible bring reproach upon the good name of out Farther in heaven.

Afterwards, I leave there, drive to the g-mart, park, turn off the jammer engine and then climb into the rear of my van for the evening.

Awake, arise, dress in my fall blues, start the jammer engine, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. I carry in my sierra cup in which I have put the ingredients of my Daystart™ and when I ask for one of my two Yeti cups to be filled with hot water, then I use that first cup of hot water to pour into my sierra cup and then enjoy my hot breakfast.

Awake, arise, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer and spend all day here inside the air conditioned cafe. At six this evening, I pack out, drive to the g-mart and use the last one of the VA Services food voucher to purchase more of the superfood powers for my new batch of the MRP than I have begun working on. Methinks, I hope that this will have to be the last time in this system that I will have to search the world over for all of the superfood powders so that I can have all the right nutrition to keep me alive and well.

Awake, arise, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. I remain here all morning working on the pages of my website that deal with the First Wayƒarers that came across the Beringia Land Bridge.

In the afternoon, my friend JoAnne walks into the w-mart, sits down next to me and we begin a conversation. After taking for a time, she lets me know that she would like to give me some money to pay for all the many things that I have done for her around her home during the past several years. She then opens a bank envelope and hands me a generous amount of money. I thank her for her act of kindness and then she tells me that she must get going. Methinks, now I have the money needed to pay for that water pump repair that I used my credit card to pay for on 26 June.

Awake, arise, drive to w-mart for coffee, com and computer. Then, at ten this morning, I pack out, drive to the ap-mart and park in a space behind the store where there is some shade from a tree. I the open the hood, get out my tools and begin removing part in order to arrive at an open area so that I can remove and replace the left heater hose connector fitting, the one with the pinhole leak in the weld joint. When I disconnect the rubber heater hose from the fitting, immediately, I recognize that the hose barb is seriously deformed indicating that it has been beat upon by someone.

"Immediately, methinks that the mechanic in that shop in Bad Axe, Maine that replaced the water pump is the person responsible because this fitting has absolutely never been touched before, and for it to have been hammered into the condition that I see it is in now, could only have been done by that shop in Maine. Furthermore, that pinhole leak did not exist prior to that shop working on my vehicle, and upon their return of my vehicle after the repair, immediately, I saw coolant leaking under the vehicle, called attention to the leak and complained to the mechanic, who not only did not fix the pinhole but instead, only moved the heater hose and clamp a little higher in order to cover the pinhole, which could only temporarily stop the coolant leak. I left that repair shop totally frustrated about the lack of concern that the mechanic showed.

"Leaving that shop, I spent the next three weeks driving west to Oak Harbor, Washington, which drive was the worst three weeks of driving that I have ever spent, entirely because of the frequent overheating and continuous stops necessary in order to add additional coolant to the radiator."

Then, after moving the rubber hose out of the way, I use a large wrench to remove the hose connector. (see above photo) Next, I take the old park inside the ap-mart and ask if they have a new temperature sensor, which they do and I purchase that part too. I walk back out to the jammer and install the new fitting into the hole in the intake manifold. Next, I wrap the male screw threads of the sensor with thread seal tape and then use two wrenches, one to hold the hose fitting and the second to turn the sensor, I install the sensor into the top of the hose connection. At this point, it is getting close to four in the afternoon and I am too tired to continue, so I will wait for another day to install the second hose connector (the one on the right in the photos).

Therefore, I re-connect the rubber hoses back to the hose connectors, re-install their clamps, reinstall all of the parts that needed to be moved, stow all of my tools and then go inside the ap-mart to wash my hands. Then, upon returning to the jammer, I start the jammer engine, close the hood, and the drive to the g-mart for the evening.

Awake, arise, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. Since doing these repairs take such a huge toll on my body, I have decided to take a day off from the repairs and just sit inside the air conditioned coffee house and work on my web page. I am able to get the entire information page completed for the Sons of Sheleph who had six sons.

Awake, arise drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. At ten this morning, I drive to my parking space behind the ap-mart, open the hood and begin working on the second heater hose fitting. This fitting is a 90° elbow with a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) on one side and a 5/8 inch heater hose barb on the other. The one that must be replaced is leaking in the welded seam and I have previously purchased a replacement but I fear that it is too small for it to be screwed into the front of the intake manifold because it will hit the heater hose fitting that I have already installed. However, before I install the new fitting, the old leaking fitting must be removed.

The first thing that I do is remove the air intake tube and set in on the ground next to the jammer. Next, I disconnect the 5/8 inch heater hose from the fitting that I will be replacing and move the hose out of the way. Then, I use my channel-lock pliers and grab the old fitting by the metal hose barb (the tube rising vertically) and then twist. After a couple of twists back and forth, the entire hose barb breaks off right at the place it was leaking, the weid. With this part of the fitting gone, I now can unscrew the main part (the hexagonal part), which has the 1/2 MPT screwed into the top of the intake manifold. Had I tried to unscrew the old fitting without removing the barb, that fitting would not have gone past the where the new fitting is installed. Now, however, without the barb in the way, I can remove it.

Next, I tape up the new fitting and try to screw it into the hole in the intake manifold, but as soon as I come around to the fitting on the left, it butts into the new fitting and will not screw in any longer

Awake to see that the sky is filled with the marine layer, but there is no condensation on the outside of the jammer′s windshield. Methinks about the auto repair at hand about and what I can do about the cracks in the pair of plastic tee fitting because cutting them out and replacing both would be so tedious. Then, methinks that I can wait until the fitting has dried and then wrap duct tape around it, which would, methinks, only be temporary at best. Also, methinks that since the two tee fittings supply heat to the rear heater blower, that I might even replace both tee fittings with a inline straight connector and thus disconnect the entire rear heater blower. However, I would must needs climb under the jammer again to verify that this option of disconnecting the rear heater is even viable.

Finally, I arise, dress, step outside, start the jammer engine and only now determine that I will take this day off from the remaining jammer repairs. Next, I drive to the w-mart, park, open the hood and turn off the engine, close the hood, grab my computer bag and walk inside for another day of pounding keys and sipping on a cup of hot.

At four this afternoon, I pack out and drive to the laundry mat to do my wash. After parking, I carry my clothes inside and begin looking for an available machine when the attendant walks towards me, says hello, my name is James and then tell me that both of my loads will fit into this available machine number 13. After I put my clothes in the machine, I then go to the payment kiosk, select the machine number and then add my cash into the kiosk and press the pay button. When I walk back to machine 13, I see that it has begun, so I sit down on a bench to wait for the wash to be done.

Upon sitting down, I greet a woman and her son who tell my that their names are Christina and Maverik. Because Christina has a ball cap with the words "I Love Jesus" written on the top. I comment about her cap so that I can start a conversation about the Bible. Christina replies to me that she is concerned about all the bad things that are happening today on Earth, giving a few examples. I reply "The Bible prophesied that all these things will occur in our time. Can I share that verse with you." When she replied yes, I opened my phone to 2 Timothy 3 and begin reading a verse one where the Bible says " In the last days perilous time shall come. 2 For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God."

Looking at Christina, I ask her, "Are these the attitudes that you were referring to?" She then says: "Yes, exactly! Does′t that bother you as well?" I reply, "Can I answer your question with a scripture." and when she told me yes, I opened my phone to the Bible app, turned to Jeremiah 29 and read what is recorded in the Bible there. (Jeremiah 29: 11,  12,  13, Byington) I then say to her, "I have a hope and a future... and all of the miseries and woes occurring here now upon the Earth do not trouble me whatsoever."

Next, Like I have done with so many people before, I ask Christina, "Is your hope for the future to be in heaven with Jesus " to which she says yes. I then tell her that my hope is to live here upon the earth during the time when God restores the earth to a paradise." Then I ask her if I can show her where the Bible gives me that hope, and again she answers with a yes.

The first verse that I show Christina is at Psalms 37: 9 and 10, where David wrote about his future hope of everlasting life here on the earth. I then tell Christina, "Not all Good People go to Heaven." ¹,  (John 11:26;  John 3:13;  Acts 2: 29,  34; Revelation 20: 6;  Revelation 21: 4)

Finally, I tell her that learning from the Bible is available to everyone from Jehovah′s Witnesses. Also, the next time one of Jehovah′s Witnesses knocks on your door, please ask then something that you would like answered from your Bible. You will be glad that you did.

Next, I get my clothes out of the dryer, begin folding and stacking them and when I am done, I say goodbye to James and carry my clothes outside and put them in the rear of the jammer. Finally, I open the hood, start the jammer engine, get into the driver′s seat and drive back to the g-mart where I have been overnighting.

Awake, arise, dress in my fall blues, unlatch the hood, step outside, open the hood, connect the negative wires to the battery and using my screwdriver, connect the two posts of the starter solenoid and start the engine. Then, after closing the hood, I climb back into the drivers seat and drive out of the parking lot, then north on SH 20 until I arrive at the turn-off for the w-mart where I drive to the front of the cafe and park in the first space. Next, I step out, open the hood and pull out the top relay to stop the jammer engine, after which, I disconnect the negative wires from the battery in order to prevent the battery from being drained. I then grab my computer bag, walk inside, set up my computer on my regular table, take my two Yeti cups to the front counter and acquire a cup of hot coffee and a cup of hot water.

Once I am back at my table, I connect to the internet, open my e-mail, click on the first https://stream.jw.org/... link to connect to the Saturday Convention and immediately get the presentation which has not begun just yet but is rotating through numerous photos from the convention. While I wait for the convention to begin, I start today′s journal entry. Then, at about 09:15, I hear voices over my earphones and immediately switch back to the convention program and then remain with the program through the morning sessions which include the Bible Drama and then a symposium. Next, I watch the midday baptism session where there are two from the Oak Harbor Congregation who get baptised. Then, after a short break for lunch, I continue watching the afternoon which includes a symposium of the nine happinesses in Matthew chapter 5. Next, there are two talks, Why are You Anxious? and Go in Through the Narrow Gate. The theme of today convention is "There is more happiness in Giving than there is in Receiving. (Acts 20: 35)

Finally, when the day′s program ends, I pack out of the w-mart, drive to a grocery mart to purchase a few items of food. Then, I drive to the location where I overnight and park for the night.

Awake, arise, start the jammer, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. After continuing the working on my website for the early morning, at nine, I connect to the convention streaming link and wait for the program to begin, which when it does, I direct my attention to the program and follow along with the talks. At noon, there is a break so, I use this time to do some more work on my website. Then, in the afternoon, when the program resumes, I tune in for the talks and videos.

When the program ends, I disconnect from the streaming link and go back to my work at hand. Later, when the day draws to its end, I pack out of the w-mart, drive to the g-mart and park in my favorite space, step out to turn off the jammer, climb back in through the drivers door, put up the window shades, climb into the rear and get into the horizontal for the night.

Awake, arise, start the jammer, drive to the w-mart, for coffee, com and computer, where I work on a new map of the Custer State Park and Black Hills NF all day long.

Now long before the sun sets, I pack out, drive to the d-mart, park, and begin my evening routines.

Awake, arise, start the jammer engine, drive to the g-mart and shop for several grocery items for my food stores. Then, I drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. I remain inside the air conditioned cae for the entire day and continue work on the Custer State Park / Black Hills map that I began last weekend. There are many camping symbols that need to be re-drawn one at a time and I am hanging in there completing each of them. Once I have completed one of the symbols, I then begin to disperse it throughout the map.

Just before eight this evening, I pack out, start the jammer and drive to the d-mart where I continue to overnight at while I am here in Oak Harbor. The van is running better now, it starts correctly, but if I continue to drive it for very long, the temperature gage goes up slowly. Methinks that this is telling me that I still have one more part that needs replacing. After thinking about the circumstances, methinks that the thermostat is sticking closed and since I have never replaced the thermostat before, I might as well replace it as well because I can not do wrong by replacing it and methinks that this my be the last part that I need to replace to get back my road worthy vehicle.

I drive to the g-mart, park, put up my window shades and climb into the rear of the jammer for the evening.

Awake, arise, unlatch the hood, step outside, raise the hood, connect the negative cables, and use my screw driver to connect the two terminals on the solenoid to start the jammer engine. Next, I close the hood, climb back into the drivers seat and drive north on SH 20 to the w-mart where I park, turn off the engine, grab my computer bag and go inside for my morning coffee, com and computer key pounding.

Then, at nine-thirty this morning, Angela, a long time friend stops in the cafe, buys a cup of hot and then comes over to my table to greet me. I offer her a seat and we talk about all the things which concern us the most. After the conversation, I say, "Life is tough enough with out all of these things happening." At a little after ten this morning, I tell her that I am going to the ap-mart to purchase a thermostat and then to the parking lot where I work on the jammer to install the part. I pack out, but before leaving the w-mart, I ask for a cup of hot water and then take it to the jammer, start the jammer and drive to the ap-mart for the necessary supplies.

To do this repair, I need to have a new thermostat, a thermostat gasket, a tube of gasket sealer and a tube of anti seize compound for the bolt threads; and the cost for all of this is over thirty dollars. The prices of everything is totally unbelievably high and know I can so recognize that the prophecies dealing with the fearful sites and critical conditions that will occur in last days. (Luke 21:11; 2 Timothy 3:1; Revelation 6:6) Yes, I will be so very happy when the Great Day of God Almighty arrives and puts an end to this old system of things. (Zephaniah 1:14; Jude 6; Revelation 16:14)

I arrive at the parking lot where I have been making my repairs, first, I use the PB Blaster and spray the two thermostat housing bolts with liberal amount of the penetrating oil. Then, before I get started, I prepare my morning meal by adding to a sierra cup all the ingredients of my Daystart. Then, I pour in about two thirds of the hot water and stir thoroughly. Finally, I get out my step stool, sit down and begin eating my Daystart. When I am done eating, I pour the last one-third of the hot water into my sierra cup and use the water to clean all the remains of the Daystart ingredients from the sides of the cup. Next, I drink the now flavored water, after which, I use a paper napkin to wipe out the inside of the cup and stow the cup back into its place in the jammer. Then, I walk to the rear of the jammer, take out my auto repair clothes and change from my blues into my work blues.

With that one, I then begin the installations of the new thermostat into the thermostat housing. After removing all the newly connected hoses, I then use a 10 mm socket to back the two bolts out of their locations, which both come out quite easily and then the housing is also removed easily. Next, I sit down on my step stool and insert my wire brush into my battery drill. Then, with this brush, I begin to clean all of the surfaces of both the thermostat housing and the location of where the housing sits on the intake manifold. Finally, I clean the two bolts, removing all the rust and previous thread compound. Once all the surfaces are clean, I get out the gasket sealant and spread a bead on the surface of the thermostat housing where the gasket will be. Next, I lay the gasket onto the sealant, then peal the covering from the opposite side, which reveals an adhesive surface and then lay that surface onto the manifold area and line up the bold holes. Finally, I spread the new anti-seize compound onto the bolt threads, insert them into their holes and begin screwing them into the manifold.

Then, I have to use my ratchet wrench to bring the bolts all the way down snug. Once at this point in the installations, I get out my repair manual and look up the torque specifications, which the book say it is between 144 and 180 inch pounds of torque. Next, I return to the rear of the jammer where my tool box is open, retrieve the torque wrench, set it for 155 inch pounds and torque both bolts. After putting away my torque wrench, I return to the front of the jammer and begin reinstalling the heater hoses and radiator hoses, tightening all of the hose clamps. Finally, I get out the last bottle of coolant and fill the radiator, after which I start the engine and top off the coolant one more time. Next, I stop the jammer engine and then begin putting away all of my tools into there places and stowing any other items that I have taken out. Once everything is put away, I change out of my work clothes, and don my fall blues. Another repair completed!

Finally, I walk around the area and pick up any and all trash that is on the ground and put it into my trash back. Another repair done and it is only early in the afternoon, so, I start the jammer engine and drive to the w-mart to pound keys for the next several hours. Then, when the closing hour approaches, I pack out of here and drive to the g-mart where I have been overnighting, park, put up my window shades and climb into the rear of the jammer for the evening.

Awake, arise, dress in my fall blues, start the jammer engine, drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer and remain here in the air conditioning most all of the morning. Then, at ten this morning, my friend in Colorado calls to tell me that he did not get the check that I had sent to him. I tell him that I will go to the bank to find out about the matter and get back to him.

So, at about ten-thirty, I pack out of the w-mart drive to the bank and talk with Logan, a bank teller. He looks into my account and could not find where the check was issued and sent, so he helps me resend the check. He says that the check will be sent tomorrow, Friday, and should arrive before the end of the next week. I thank him, then leave the bank and then drive back to the w-mart.

At six-forty this evening, I pack out of the w-mart and drive to the g-mart parking lot, arriving just after seven. Then, I turn on the Zoom app and connect to the Oak Harbor congregation meeting and listen to the program. I continue online and hear several announcements from the world headquarters of Jehovah′s Witnesses, one of which is the release of the new songs coming available which are in the folder called International Songs. I continue listening to the meeting until the last prayer and after that, I talk with the friends for a short time. Finally, I say goodbye, turn off the zoom connection and then get into the horizontal for the night.

Awake, arise to the screaming of the sea gulls, dress in my fall blues, climb forward, unlock the hood, step outside to start the jammer, get back in the driver′s seat and drive to the w-mart for coffee, com and computer. I remain inside all day long and when the store is near to closing, I pack out, walk out to the jammer and start the engine.

Next, I drive to the g-mart and park in my regular parking space for the evening. I have a supper from my food stores and then read for a time. Finally, I turn off the electronics and get into the horizontal for the night.
