For this time:
BUT... I do forget how to do things, such as to change font type and size, color, etc. Posting the right size pictures confuse me also, as time has gone on.
Somehow I used to make my entry, then transfer it here and post. I am sure a Genius can get lost here as they age. I am laughing.
I was told once, "You are the smartest person in the world, dad!"
That was when son Mark was selling his Corvette, the man was coming to get the car with cash, and it would not start. He was desperate, I did get it started, just as the man drove up."
The 'smartest person in the world' came out when he heard that engine roar to life. LOL
I am smiling, I am a smart man; So I am also smart enough to know that was his RELIEF talking. ;-)
WE all feel like that at times when relief shows up in the nick of time. ;-)
I do have an ability to fix stuff. Example: This week my sweet heart mentioned she did not like the damage to a step in this house. I just happened to have a scrap of oak wood that would work in a cut and insert, in this case. A few hours of work fixed that for her. She be happy. I have to admit it is a first class 'fix'.
She is easy to impress. Growing up, her mama could fix more than her dad around their house. After about 70 years it is still hard for her to accept I can fix most carpentry, plumbing and electrical problems in our homes. Before all this mumbo jumbo of computerized firing and timing of cars and engines, I could repair engines even complete rebuilding one. I have been stopped in my tracks, like most guys, since those Enovation's in cars came around. LOL
I just finished my ice cream sandwich MA blogged about today. It was small, I think I will have another. LOL

Yes, I believe you're very smart. I wish you lived near us. So many jobs to be done here.
God bless.
Glad you enjoyed that ice cream sandwich! Yes, they are small. You are always fixing things so It's a given that you are a smart cookie. Unlike you, I'm not good at fixing things. LOL!
Love the picture of Sherry and your car and first baby on the way! Precious memories!! And yes, it helps to be a good "fix it man" person. My Dad was like that, and I just assumed all men were the same as he was! Alas, not so. My hubby is smart in lots of other ways with a doctorate in ministry and very smart in things like preaching and teaching and was even a Florida State Trooper for a while. But fixing things is not is forte'. We have learned a lot over the years, and we also know when to call for help. God has always provided us with good mechanics and handymen in our churches or community who would come to our rescue for either free or very reasonable fees. God takes good care of us even now, and we are very glad!!! Great post. I love ice cream sandwiches and now I wish I had one! LOL.
No matter the circumstances, I love what Mark said about you being the "smartest person in the world." That sort of thing stays with you forever!
I'm glad to know you're still out there making 'stuff' right again. Of late, we're having to hire work done by those younger and abler.
I think you are one of the smartest people I know - in oh so many ways.
1953, that's a great year! (I was born!) My Dad was the smartest man I knew and he also could fix anything. I joke that most of my memories of him were he was either under a car, a kitchen sink, or the house! (the house that he built!) Unfortunately, he passed away when he was only 56. He'd be 106 today and Mom would have been 100 this year. Miss them both every day. Keep up the good work Jack and keep that sweetheart of yours smiling! Hugs from Ohio!
