I picked up my new (well new to me) guitar, an Ibanez JIVAJR. Lovely and shiny and sounds incredible 

Knowing my best friend of 36 yrs. loves and accepts me for who I am. Can't really ask for more than that.

I have good friends that way as well,they have seen me a much happier person as my true self

Was able to help an old lady for a couple of hours this morning.
She had a bunch of leaves, walnuts, acorns, and sticks in her yard.

I was able to get a lot of it in her trash tote and more in some thick plastic bags for disposal.  Another volunteer will come over this weekend to do some inside cleaning and put the trash tote (and take the two bags away) on the street for her Monday morning trash pickup. 

She said I was pretty strong for a woman and had the energy she wish she still had.
I said I was not really strong and that all this took was a lot of bending down, raking, and busting up the larger sticks.

This ^ made me happy today.
Thanks, Chrissy!

One day when we get old we may need help too.

I boxed up this week T shirts and sweaters took them the a mission.  They were all in excellent or new condition, all are female clothes that I feel compelled to share because there have been lots of people hit hard by flooding and they have lost everything, and women's shelters need the clothes too.

I wonder if any clothes will make their way to Florida or Appalachia.

Spending time with my dad whom has Alzheimer's, the medication is working so far. Did pull his license for good and his good friends are helping out as well

The SpaceX launch and later booster retrieval this morning at the launch pad was WOW.
It all happens within eight or nine minutes of launch.  Worth looking for a replay.

I was happy to have been able to watch this live.

Got my favorite deer hunting rifle back from the gunsmith. Was having trigger problems with it and he fixed it which I did pay him on the spot. I am one of his good customers, I pay him on the spot with no complaints with the bill.

Dear Nikki: Finding a good gunsmith up here in Alaska is quite easy.  Most everyone that I know that lives in the many little small remote towns like myself have a variety of firearms....
....handguns and long guns.

Hand guns I have are a Smith&Wesson 38 Snubnose, Ruger .357 Magnum, S&W 9mm Semi, and a  S&W .44 magnum.
     

For rifles, I have several ... a 30-30 lever action, a 270  (one of my favorites), and the ubiquitous .30-06
.... and of course a "scatter gun"...  12 gauge Remington

It has a long good history of using it to kill deer, got 3 of them with it last year. It is a .308. I do have my concealed weapon permit as well, carry a Kimber .45 most of the time
