Today Hunter Biden was convicted on three federal felony gun charges. As I have mentioned before, I place immense value on the jury system in our country. I think one of the major differences between the Hunter Biden jury and the recent Trump jury, which should be of particular concern to Americans, is that the Biden jurors are not afraid to talk about their decision. I also appreciate Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s respectful responses to the conviction. I will admit I have a bias toward people who act with dignity when things do not go the way they had hoped.
An electrical technician came over today to give us a quote
on electrical work to upgrade our power for Joe to have a hobby machine shop. The
new power will be installed on April 19th.
Yesterday we had tree work done by a local small business,
Eggert’s Tree Services LLC. Perry Eggert went to high school with the previous homeowner’s
son. We had a diseased tree removed along with about five small trees that were
between three to five years old and were seedlings from a neighbor’s tree. They
were overcrowding the other vegetation and were not particularly healthy. The Eggert
crew did an excellent job from start to finish. We will see them again on June 21st
to remove a large diseased ash tree on the south side of our yard.
Joe has plenty of work clearing out grass around tree bases and
in areas that we will be laying stone. He is preparing all of this for the
company to begin updating and installing an additional sprinkler/drip system
for the yard. That is scheduled for the Wednesday before we go to Ohio for my
50th class reunion.
I am getting more excited every day that brings us closer to
June 20th when my brother Jeff, his wife Kathy, and my two nieces (their
daughters) Renee and Jami will be arriving to visit for a couple of days. The weekend
after we will be in Ohio, for the weekend only, to attend my 50th high
school class reunion. I am putting together a mini gathering of the Karnes family
for the Sunday we are in Defiance.
There are about five or six of the Karnes cousins I have
never met! Others like Mike, Dewey, Rusty, and my uncle Dick and aunt Sue I saw
last year on our travels. I know that no matter who shows up we will enjoy
seeing them.
We plan to see the Hudkins side of the family when we are
back for the Hudkins family reunion sometime in early August.
June is working out to be the month of contractors and
reunions. If I were a cartoonist, I would draw a cartoon of our yard torn up
and people streaming to picnic tables set willy nilly on the torn-up lawn and a
caption, “Where contractors are treated like family.” Or maybe even “Where
family are treated like contractors” and show family with saws, hoes, and
rakes.” Hopefully, you get the idea.
