Nelson has always loved working on cars and trucks. When he was 16, he traded lawn care services to a man who offered to pay him by giving him an old run-down Jeep C-5 that wasn’t working. Nelson was thrilled and worked on it in every free minute. It wasn’t long before he was running around town in it.
In Hawaii, he’d done something similar, finding an old pickup that didn’t work and striking a deal with the owner to buy it—for $700. There was no bed in it, and it lacked many other things too, but Nelson was thrilled to once again be working on a vehicle in his spare time.
Once he got it going, he decided to paint it bright blue. I happened to be out in Hawaii then, anticipating the baby’s birth, and the two of us had fun painting it together.

Sitting here with Baby Will getting ready for a Skype call. Annso sleeps. She does all the heavy lifting at night, which I’m super grateful for. I’ve been feeling better each day with my rack of drugs, Elvis-style, to get this Thyroid thing under control.
Really thankful for the free health care we have here in Hawaii. Sometimes feel like we are too well-off to have it, but the cost of living is super high here, and God knows I’ve paid my share of taxes over the years. When it works out in your favor once in a while, you might as well take it with a happy heart. That’s the way I see it now.
Sold the Robin Egg Blue truck today. Now we have a few more bucks for our Summer RV. Actually got $3000 for it. I was beginning to wonder if I’d get my money out of it and break even, but God is super nice to me and sent me a nice guy who bought it.
Also, today I found out that I don’t have Graves disease, more than likely, according to the number in my blood work taken by the Doc in HNL [Honolulu]. He said I have some sort of release of hormone caused by an auto immune failure or something. He called it Thyroiditis.
