 CT scan is at 7:45 am, meaning getting up pretty early tomorrow. I figure I"ll just get up with everyone else at 5:40 am.  I can shower, drink coffee and just think about things and then leave for the doc office at 7:00 am.  I don't really think this scan is going to take long.  

Watching them do the riding mower today, I decided to see if they would do the stuff on the boat.  This would be for pay beyond lot rent since it's personal stuff. When they get to work on something, they go at it until it's done.  The trolling motor, the new batteries for it, the bikini cover, clean it all up, siphon out the gas.  They siphon the gas out and I'll start burning weeds on the burn piles.  Like, just dump 2 gallons of gas onto those piles, pour a strip well away from it, light the strip and watch the whole thing go Whooooosh!!  I am not dense.  I have seen videos of people pouring gallons of gas onto a pile of wood, enough to burn them severely standing too close.

You watch these videos, tho, you see them lighting a match and then they...end the video. Which makes me think they were dumping water onto the pile and just make the videos for clickbait.  There was the lady a while back that poured gasoline out of a can directly onto a fire. She ended up dying.  I also remember in AZ many years ago a father drenched her young daughter with gasoline and lit her on fire.  You get a mental picture of a young girl running around in circles, burning to death while her father is driving off.  Amazing the evil that lurks in our society.  

Anyway, I'm going to get that boat over there - maybe tomorrow.  I have to move another trailer and a pickup to get to the boat.  But, the sooner the better.  Get that thing out on a lake and go fishing or even just pull those giant water floaties that they make for pulling behind boats and get with the fun. They get that stuff done and I'll register it again. There is nothing that the government doesn't find a target to tax or fee to death.  Boats are no exception.  You have to have registration for the boat and trailer and you have to have titles for the boat, motor and trailer.

Tomorrow is Taylor and James 11th anniversary.  Very cool.  I donated some credit card points for a hotel at a place in Oklahoma.  Sounds far, but it really isn't.  Just across the Texas-OK line, a casino with a decent 5 story hotel and a huge pool. I just need enough points to cover one-way airfare, there should still be enough for that.  If not, you pay the difference between points and what's left owing.  

It's getting late.
