First things first: Happy Birthday to all who are in Nov and coming Dec. Was fishing on the Lady Blue earlier this past week and had met Steve Wolf for a planned fishing foray. Awoke the next morning to a hot refrigerator in Ruff Diamond and the feint odor of amonia. Hmm, guess that one is not har to troubleshoot. But after a few checks I confirmed that in fact the unit was dead and not going to be resurected. Sad news followed to Steve that I would be heading to home base to get started on plans to replace the unit in the Coach. And the trip home was un eventful, though the generator was running to keep my ice maker (120VAC) cold to save the once frozen meats, now thawed. Got home and put Ruff Diamond on her pad in the back yard, did the hook ups and drained the holding tanks and noticed a muffled beep, beep, beep like the back up horn on a car or bus. Saw nothing out on the street to cause this sound I sumairily dismissed it. That very night while getting the morning coffee maker ready, the beep beep beep returned, and not finding a cause I thought perhaps it was just old ears playing trickes, and went to bed. The very next morning around 6:15 AM a beep beep beep, beep BEEP beep BEEP warble brought me out of a sound sleep and I sat stright up on the edge of the bed wondering if I had a dream, and that is when it dawned on me,DUH. My Defib/ Pace Maker implant was telling me you dummy it is time for a new battery, get your lazy arse to the Dr and have it checked, which I did post haste. And I will be undergoing surgery soonest to have that 6 year old battery replaced and perhaps the wire into the heart if needed, then they are going to re build the pocket in my chest to slide the unit over about an inch so it quits pinching when I fold my arms across my chest. Bottom line, it is actually a blessing the refrigerator went out in a way as that took me to home base and nearer the Dr. Now then, close friends and I have made plans to replace the errant refrigerator as soon as I get out from under the knife and heal. You can bet all this is going to take place before too much of the Oklahoma trout season is gone. Nope, one and all, I am most certainly not ready for a rocking chair, there will be time to rest after the Man decides it is my time, and until then, look out life I am going to make fullest use of you.
