My Son's Mustang

So it's kinda an odd vehicle to see with a handicap permit, but the permit's for me, not the car.

We're just picking up more stuff from Home Depot to turn the new house into a home for Laura. It's terrific to have this time off from
work, to settle things that would take quite a bit longer were I working.

Yesterday, Mike also received a muffler and exhaust kit upgrade, which he installed. It sounds like a real muscle car now, and it's lovely to share in his joy. Both Matt and Kate took an interest in the instillation. 

Today was just a bit more shopping as we installed a 5.1 surround sound system in the main room.  Mike and Matt are now setting up some wall shelving for the statues of our Lord and Lady, which will make Laura and myself quite happy.  Fr. Reid is scheduled to perform a house blessing for Nov 17th, and we hope to be ready for that and actually look like a Catholic home.  

Additionally, I'm now making maximum use of a veteran discount at Home Depot.  I hadn't really given it much though before, but one observant sales clerk just added the discount without prompting. Since I had presented my DD-214 to the DMV, I have the word "Veteran" printed on my driver's license - so I may as well ask for a discount everywhere I go.   If a business offers it why shouldn't I? 

BRAVO ZULU to Home Depot.

I'm still feeling a generalized weakness, and at times wonder if I have the strength to stand.  Oddly, my appetite is through the roof, I can't seem to eat enough now, and I'm holding it all down.

I hadn't included a picture of our new home yet, so I may as well stuff that here.

You'll no doubt note the Navy flag we fly to add a bit of distinctiveness compared to every other neighbor's American flag.

I haven't ordered it yet, but I need to get a 3 star service flag for the other post.  Also un-planned is that we have a pervading Northern breeze which is just perfect since the Navy flag is truly
one sided, and would read backwards had it been the other way.

Oh and one last thing -

Happy birthday to Kimberley Rose Woolhiser, serving our nation from Japan.

She of course is responsible for the "Best Dad since 1991" shirt.

Not a huge amount to report tonight, I'm just mostly making sure I get one post out a day.  Consistency is key.
