7:20 a.m. - The whole Hunter Biden thing continues to get bigger. Yesterday, his plea deal broke down. Apparently, he and his attorneys were expecting the deal to include him being no longer investigated. That wasn't the case. It seems like young Biden sure was off the rails between 2014 and 2019. If he was doing drugs and buying guns, it can only be assumed he was also doing some corrupt business things. The question of course is whether or not his dad, now President Biden was also participating. I tend to believe that there isn't a politician in Washington that has not used there political status for personal gain...I figure it's part of the whole structure. I suppose it's just a question of how much personal gain each of the political figures achieves...and that goes for the executive and judicial branches as well. It will be interesting to see how this thing plays out in the months ahead. I think young Biden deserves what he has coming to him if he has broken laws...just like anyone else.
Yesterday was a VERY BIG day. I went and visited mom and dad and was able to see Darren and Peyton too, which was nice. Then I went and picked up some chlorine in case Jack wants to add some chlorine to the pool while we are gone. When I got home from the pool store, the mower part had arrived. It took a little work, some frustration, and some viewing of a YouTube video, but eventually I got that damn spring clip into the steering column, so I could mow the yard. Wait, before that happened I had to remove a snake. Apparently while I was gone, Karrigan discovered a large gardner snake and eventually she killed it. It was 2-3 feet long - that's as big as I've seen a snake of that variety. So I removed the snake, fixed the mower (which I was pretty proud of myself for), and then mowed the grass. It was really, really hot, so after the yard, I jumped into the pool to cool off. After that, Amber and I went to Kenzie's house for some pizza. In the middle of that Jack and Rhonda called and said they had a flat tire in Milan. So Darrin and I went in his truck to go take care of that. He had a piece of metal that looked like some kind of pin stuck into the inside of it. Darrin had a floor jack and battery drills that made the job pretty easy. I just helped get him to Spinners to pick up Jack and Rhonda (they had eaten with friends) and then offered a little assistance to the spare tire job. When Darrin dropped me off, Amber and Tucker had just returned. Before going to sleep I watched Team USA in its World Cup soccer match versus the Netherlands. I try to watch soccer and learn something, but I definitely don't know enough about soccer to find it interesting. The game ended in a 1-1 draw. It is a more physical game than I had realized...lots of fouls.
So today is departure date from Edgington. This will be the last entry for awhile until we get back from our trip to Cancun. We drive to Chicago today, fly out tomorrow, and will be in Cancun for about a week. So this morning I'm going to get the hot tub ready for our departure, and then finish packing. I need to make one more trip to my parents house too. Apparently my dad has some money for me for our trip. He got pretty sentimental with me yesterday about seeing all that I could see while I was there because I may never go back. There's definitely truth and wisdom that that. I don't really want to accept his money, but I know it will be important to him.
