The ride back and forth to Kerrpatch will be a lot more enjoyable... I wasn't looking forward to being stuck looking out the window.... That aint for all of us... Nuttin wrong with it.... Just different.... I can put a laptop in one bag, along with some other stuff, and my camera in the other bag....



Speakin of busy.... Damn man, I been forcibly retired for a while now, but my wife just pulled the trigger after 34 years at the University... Damn the paperwork hoops we been jumping through...



Medicare Part B, proof of prior coverage for medical... oh and now for pharmaceuticals... or I have to pay a lifetime (mine) penalty.... Damned Gubment.... Tax the hell out of my SS/Disability... Plus we had to find an agent to set up my supplemental coverage, now that I'm not on the bride units insurance... She'll COBRA her coverage for a few years... Until she's forced to jump ship.... Plus all the retirement accounts we found from my various jobs... That is actually a small blessing... The last one, that I haven't pulled yet is going to take us on several vacations... The first about two weeks in Jamaica.... The rest were used to pay off my tractor....



The mountains of paperwork, and them forcing us elderly tech challenged folks to do most everything by computer, and oh no, we cant email the documents in, we have to have most of them notarized and then "FAX" them in... Buttholes... Who uses FAX anymore... We don't even have a land line in our house.... But they can email the docs to us...


There is so much more we've been chasing... Oh well....
I want a signed copy please.
Get'cha some obamacare...
Medicare and federal tax code.

Most of them in the orchard are Indian name varieties... Choctaw, Cheyenne, Pawnee, Wichita, Mohawk, etc.... It's like land reparations, who do you consider to be the originals.....
(this is 50 yr old info) I was told any papershell pecan, when you plant it, will revert back to the native tree it was grafted to. Many of the varieties are grafted to a local native species for hardiness, you get the old hardy base with modern papershell fruit. If it's a small pecan, it's likely native, if it's a large papershell fruit it's hybrid. I've never seen a papershell growing in a creek tree line. I'm no horticulturist so you'll hafta google the natives species name, till then we'll call them 'creeks'
