so it's the Old Cowboy today. and as it's been for the last couple months, there is one conversation.
What is he going to Do? we already know what he is going to do. when he can no longer navigate life in his home he will go live at his niece's home in a very small downstairs room. he worked that out with her himself, his doing. totally. he will sign his home over to she and her husband. he will pay his way with his monthly income from interest on money he has. but we need, i guess, to repeat and repeat and repeat. same conversation. word for word. the reality is, he is no different really than he's been for the last couple years. still capable of a lot. but something has changed. maybe putting his dog down. i don't know. but now, suddenly, it's the only thing he can think about.
as people do, he is thinking about all his Stuff. mostly, it's the trillion movies he has pirated from his Dish thing. trillions. he suddenly is worried that the government is going to get wind and....well, we don't know what might happen. second tho, is just all his belongings. his 3 bedroom home with garage will reduce to an 8X12 foot room. so...just him a bed and his GIANT flat screen TV.
and today, again, until i thought i'd faint, it's What Will I DO With...... fill in the blank. He wants me to take his mother's dresser. How do you say to someone "I don't want your mother's dresser" ???? so...this being nothing new, today instead of just being silent, i said, "Well, i like your tools".
rebar. I LOVE rebar. and a solid copper pipe
a vice.
something he put together for a particular purpose...two old shovel handles together with nuts and bolts.
tools. Tools. Stuff made for specific purpose. WHO invented them???? Who understood a purpose and then made something that would work?
I really really LOVE tools.
I don't want his mother's dresser. I don't want her silverware. in a certain way, i don't even want all these tools. Some are for things i will NEVER do. Some i already HAVE. but tools....to just let tools fly off into space, to nowhere in particular.....eeeeeee.
So.
Now they are HERE. finding a place for them. Just like he did when he came here from his familys Ranch in Colorado 19 years ago. My inheritance. ok. then. ok. keep it going.
