The Old Folks Home

I didn't know the gentleman (Latestarters) personally but, have seen the name often. Did he have a spouse, children to send condolence cards too?

He was married... I think twice? Anyway.. spouse or spouses were wastes of space.

He had I think 3 kids, 1 (or 2?) Sons, and a daughter. I feel bad for the daughter... her epilepsy isn't fully controllable.. and I know he was a large emotional support for her (but they did not live in the same state).

He had a herd of goats, a nice bit of land in North East Texas, and a few chickens.

I remember him being excited that his Daughter had come out to visit. I think it was last summer or Fall

I remember that too.

Have they finally gotten the supply problem fixed?

Well aren't we having fun today.
DD2's car finally fixed. I took her to the shop this morning (1/2 way to her work) to pick it up and continue to work. Told Adam thanks and I hope I never have to see you professionally again. Returning home coming into town 10 minutes later a vehicle crossed the center line and I pulled right as far as I could, hit the horn hard then was hit driver's front corner to driver's front corner. 30 MPH area at least. That car never veered from the straight line at my car. Car probably totalled. Ambulance ride to the ER, nothing broken, whiplash. Other driver taken to the same place, MRIed and then, according to the state trooper who was taking my information, was going to be transferred to the UVM Medical Center. Nurse said I would hurt worse tomorrow and Monday.
Yay.
Now I need a new car. Was not in the current plans.

glad you weren't hurt worse

Well, just put in an application at the local Caterpillar plant....as a production welder.

As @Alaskan said, ex spouses. Son and his family I THINK live in CO, favorite oldest daughter was referenced by SCG. She was the daughter of an ex wife, he adopted her. I believe he couldn't have loved her more if she were his biological child. He didn't speak much about other children, I know there was some estrangement with some and with others of his family. I don't know of any mailing addresses for condolence cards.

Power is back! 4.5 hours or so with chicks and incubators. Thank goodness for the power inverter.

Isn't Latestarer the one who was having trouble a few weeks ago digging postholes because he kept hitting rock?
