It's boring being here , Shawn is going home on the 5th . This room is a three person room , The third guy here is so annoying . He has driven Shawn and I , both out of our room with his constants "Nurse I want" "Nurse can I get" . He just went off on me because his phone isn't working . The nurses are avoiding him as much as they can . That means that Shawn and I are also ignored . He has diariea And insists on having Yogurt four or five times a day and wears a diaper ,,, Thus needing to be changed four or five times a day . All the time demanding the nurses attention .

I have found out that I am to be given a bath every Thursday . My last bath I had to keep warning the young lady that I was going to embarrass myself with unwanted erections , She told me almost all of her males that she gives a bath to get hard . Oh my .... Well it's thursday ,,,, again ,,,,,,

I am waiting .......

Norma will be here around noon or 1 o'clock . She is bringing burgers from Wendys . Shawn is very taken with her , He's constantly flirting with her ,, It's fun to watch . We have a spot under the tree's and Norma brings a chair , Shawn has this fancy rig called Knee Slider , His right ankle and lower leg is mostly "pins" hold[ng it together . But it doubles as a seat for him . So we sit under the trees in the cool shade and pass as much time as we can .

I saw the lawyer and he wants to sue those responsible for me being here . Any one found with my property will be in trouble .

Back to memories of gold mining ,,,

My wife and I had 7, 20 acers claims on the little grizzly creek behind lake Davis California . I had crossed the river and had set up to dredge though a gravel bar , I had both of my big dogs and my wife's chow had followed them across the river . I was dredging a channel about six foot wide and about five foot deep . I was seeing gold often enough to keep my interest , I was deep enough I couldn't hear the motor on the dredge .... All was silent ,, All was serine ,,,, Something didn't "feel right" ..... I popped my head up . My two big dogs { tense , Half Wolfe half airdale } and koko my bearded Griffon were going round and round with a five or six hundred pound bear . My wife's chow was barking over his shoulder while running back to Mama .

Why was bear there where a Briggs motor was hammering away ? It seems that gold dredging brakes up cemented gravels , releasing all kinds of underwater "critters" that the fish want , Thus I'm feeding the fish and the bears know that a running motor means it's feeding time .

After the bear ran off both of my big dog's were so proud of them selves wanting treats and prancing around ,,, just making fools of them selves .

But truth be told ,,,, I was proud of them as well . My wifes Chow???? He was found in my wife's lap , hair up challenging any thing and everything .

Stop and imagine a 130 pound chow ,,,, in my wife's lap ..... And he's not about to leave mama for any reason . It didn't matter how hard Barbara pushed him he wasn't moving and those teeth showing ,,,, he meant business . Big dogs don't have to be mean to intimidate . But peanut the Chow was big and mean . After this one incident , He wouldn't leave Barbara's side for any reason . Barb would give him treat's off and on all day ,,,, which he would then hide , When I and my other dogs came up from the river ,,,, He would then dig up his hidden treats and eat them in front of the other dogs .
