He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.

Henry Ward Beecher

I went out at 7 AM to snap a few pics, the mosquitos were thick and heavy. I only lasted a few moments out there. They should have been gone in June. That makes outside work impossible. I can only imagine those people out there camping on the long weekend, stuck inside their 45 foot RV’s. Poor rich people.

Another day of extreme heat followed by extreme thunderstorms.

I decided to do some inside work, I cleaned one table organized one corner of my wood workshop. It wasn’t much but a start. I ran out of breath and now I am taking a break. Don’t be too impressed a lot of it was re-piling onto another horizontal surface. I still feel good about it.

Another 12 or fourteen hours of work with two-hour rest breaks every hour I should have it useable again. Oh yea and the fact I can’t work more than an hour in a day kind of slows me down.

Another 40 minutes of work, I am on my next back hurts break. I managed to hang up some tools and wire a 110 volt wall plug. I even went out and picked my only two raspberries. They really need replanting and weeding. I used to get a few pounds every year.

10 dollar nursery birch tree. It was almost dead when I picked it up and only two feet tall. 15 years ago.

Money money money money, money [Repeat: x 6]
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me ya’all, do things, do things, bad things with it
Well You want to do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, ya’all

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can’t even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they’re gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money
For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don’t care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper, it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don’t let, don’t let, don’t let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don’t let, don’t let, don’t let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don’t let money, don’t let money change you,
It will keep on changing, changing up your mind.
