Country Life, February 5

I got my "new" dryer installed yesterday. It's a used dryer with rust on top (I cleaned it up as much as I could) and the front panel is loose. I may have to drill a hole and bolt it on.

I was saddened yesterday to hear of the passing of a soldier I served with. When I knew him, he was a Staff Sergeant, E-6. I lost track of him over the years, but I remember him because I worked with him in the military and civil service. He was a great mechanic and had a mechanic business on the side. He enjoyed restoring Volkswagen "Bugs" and selling them. I'll never forget the time (at Fort Hood) that he told a First Sergeant and other high ranks that they "need to get their head out of their @$$es." Everyone called him "Chock." I assume it's because he was a Choctaw Indian.

Yesterday I cashed in and spent some Amazon cards. I bought The Armorer from The Mandalorian. I really want an action figure of NED-B. I think I'll buy him next.
