Got a call from my father this morning. He has an idea of how to save some money on my transportation problem. Instead of me paying $500 for an engine for my van and him paying to have it installed he's come up with something to save (him) money. For $500 he'll 'give' me his truck. He just had the electronics on the engine replaced and it's running good now he says. I haven't driven it since last year. Back then the throttle had an electrical problem and acted like it had a mind of it's own. This deal of his has me giving him $500 which I have, I get it transferred to my insurance, I pay the registration fees and he pays to have the tanks filled. I get a vehicle and he pays as little as possible. That's my father for you. Guess I can't complain. Where else could I get a 1992 full-size pickup in running condition for $500 with no transport fees? My nephew has said many times he wants my van. Maybe I should sell it to him for what I paid for it.

Plans for today. I have none. Right now I'm waiting on the Home Health nurse to call.

Looks like my telescope will arrive today. It was in Alexandria this morning and is now on a FedEx vehicle for delivery. In many places that would be great news. Here FedEx is almost like a bad joke. I much prefer UPS or USPS but I didn't have the choice this time.

Weather today looks wet. It's been raining off and on this morning since around 2am.
