    with more aches and pains than usual. Thought about what I did yesterday and it justified the aches and pains. As I sat here drinking my morning coffee, something about today kept bugging me. Ah yes, 37 years ago today I raised my right hand and swore to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic for the first time. The journey from that day to today has been a great journey. I wouldn't change it for all the money in the world.

    A very sincere Thank-You for your service Mark. Best of luck with your aches and pains old man! I would prescribe some fishing and put your feet up.

    I fished Monday afternoon. Yesterday, I built a system to pump water out of the ponds to water the food plots and the wife's garden. Then, I moved 3 tons of dirt around the back side of the house to build it up along the foundation. Today, I'm going to work on the watering system some more and get some of the bugs out of it as soon as I can get out of my magic chair.
