The new and improved Good Morning thread!

Morning everybody.

Getting ready to hop in the truck and hit the road for Melbourne, Florida to see if I can get my oldest brother released from the hospital. He went in about 3 weeks ago, and without some family and reassurances that we will be there for him they wont release him since he really cannot walk anymore. He can stand tho & can get himself from say, the bed to his wheelchair, so he is mobile but at his age ( 72 ) they have all these precautions they have to take by law.

He is miserable, and called me up to see if number one, I would come get him out ( he has a service that comes to his house 3 times a week to clean and drive him around if he needs to go somewhere ) and number two, get his last will & living will in place, as well as appoint me as executor of his will. Sucks seeing your entire family getting old as hell and dying off ( I am the youngest of this generation in my family and I'm 59 ) especially when you get asked to make sure their final wishes are followed.

So, I am gonna jump in the shower then throw my stuff in the truck then drive 9 hrs to get him sprung from the clutches of "The man". Looks like I will be listening to today's day games on the radio and probly just watch the Kentucky/Florida game tonight when I get down to my aunts house. Then in the morning I will head over to the hospital and raise hell until they release his old ass. After that I will hang out for a few days then drive back on Tuesday. The only real upside to all of this is I haven't been down to Florida in about 5 years so I will get a couple days to stroll the beach ( his house is about 4 miles from the beach ) and hang out with my brother. Ok, time to hit the shower then get on the road.
