There was a cistern in front of the house that I lived in. The cistern collected rain water. The pump was worn and wouldn't work. Andy Wolfrum's father had used the cistern as a water source. There were no rivers, lakes, or water sources nearby. So water had to come from other cisterns. Andy Wolfrum drilled a well around 1936. Our house was a football field away from his, and we used his well water. We bathed in galvanized wash tubs, which were also used to wash clothes. They held about twenty gallons of water. My father had a Model A Ford car. We used the car to haul water. We used 10 gallon milk containers to hold water.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don Wolfrum, March 06, 2023</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Andy was concerned about Sulphur being in the water. He tasted the first samples to check on Sulphur content. Sulphur tastes and smells bad.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don Wolfrum, March 07, 2023</span></p>Don Wolfrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00894650164449707216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566099436403271378.post-26703215085647731002023-03-07T10:20:00.004-07:002023-03-11T18:04:14.044-07:00Tell me about an adventure you've been on<p> <span style="font-size: large;">Tell me about an adventure you've been on.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">by Don Wolfrum on March 04, 2023.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">My first reaction: I've not been on any dangerous events. Then a memory came to me. I was in the US Army on basic training at Ft. Eustis, Virginia. We were sliding under live machine gun fire. Bullets were whizzing a few inches above our heads. If you raised your head six inches, you would probably die. Now, that's a bit dangerous. Instant death, if you make the wrong move.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don Wolfrum, March 04, 2023</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for commenting Nancy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don Wolfrum, March 04, 2023</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Dave: Did you go under machine gun fire in the army?</span></p><div><br /></div><div class="title" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #042a21; font-family: GTSuperTextBook, Georgia, serif; font-size: 24px; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 1440px; padding: 3.5rem 2rem 2.5rem; width: 1405.6px;"><div id="editTitle" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="wrapper" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px;"><h1 id="title" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: GTSuperDisplayRegular, "Playfair Display", serif; font-size: 56px; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 64px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: auto;"><br /></h1></div></div></div>Don Wolfrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00894650164449707216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566099436403271378.post-69655359579472863122023-03-07T09:55:00.002-07:002023-03-11T18:06:23.115-07:00When did you get your first car?<p><span style="font-size: large;">When did you get your first car?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> by Don Wolfrum on February 26, 2023.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I got a 1926 Model T Ford, when I was a teenager.

Henry, “Don’t smoke cigarettes, don’t use unnecessary drugs, and save for the future.” I lived to a ripe old age. I did smoke cigarettes in high school, and at other times in my life. If you want to live a long life, don’t smoke. Drugs were not for me. I saw the effect drugs had on people, and I didn’t want any part of them. You will have money to save for the future, if you don’t spend it unnecessarily. I gave Marlee $3,000, which she used to help pay for her house. I gave it in a bunch of small amounts. The money was invested in S&P Spyders, which grew at a 10% rate.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don Wolfrum, February 19, 2023</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> Vicki, Marlee, Nancy, and Dave aren’t druggies and don’t smoke.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Don Wolfrum, February 20, 2023</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Marlee has thanked you for this story.</span></p>Don Wolfrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00894650164449707216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566099436403271378.post-14572854184843101982023-03-07T09:21:00.005-07:002023-03-07T10:57:18.809-07:00Who do you consider your icons?<p> <span style="font-size: large;">Ronald Reagan is an icon.

I was driving my loaded truck. Suddenly a horse landed on the hood of my truck. A horse was walking on the street unattended in the dark and we collided. The horse came from the left side of the road. The police came and assisted me in getting my truck parked.

I depended on him for maintenance decisions, When the horse hit my truck, I called Larry. Larry was the overseer of getting the truck repaired. The truck was a Volvo with a 400 horsepower Volvo engine. The cab was equipped with a bunk heater. I had a refrigerator and microwave, which belonged to me.

Death, slavery, and sadness, are not my cup of tea. I saw a video recently, in which a woman threw a dog to the ground. The dog cried in anguish. His livelihood was wiped out.

Lassie was a collie dog. Eric Knight wrote a book, Lassie Come Home, (1943)<br /><a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780805072068/lassiecomehome">https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780805072068/lassiecomehome</a> </p><p>I bought a malamute dog, when I was a truck driver. A malamute is a sled dog, which pulls a sled. I took him home, and Andy was going to show the dog that he, Andy, was boss. It didn't work. The dog never did submit to his desires. This was one of a very few times, that Andy didn't get his way.</p><div><br /></div>Don Wolfrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00894650164449707216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566099436403271378.post-59974311371773986562022-12-13T19:53:00.006-07:002022-12-13T20:16:42.978-07:00Do you have any vivid memories of your grandparents?<p> <span style="font-size: large;">My mother's mother, Nerva Layne, was living with my mother.

Eustis Virginia. I would go to Richmond, Virginia on week ends and holidays. We would go to the USO and other things. My wife and her close friend went to the USO also. I took my wife's friend, my future wife, and some other girls to my wife's friend, Gaynelle's home, from the USO. Gaynelle told my future wife that she wasn't interested in me. After that, my future wife Mary, started sitting next to me in the car. Mary called me at Ft. Eustis and told me that her boss told her to call me and get straightened out, because I was affecting Mary's behavior. The call was announced at my whole company's group, standing in formation at our company. Mary's mother helped Mary to get permission to get married.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">June 27, 1953 we were married at Resurrection Lutheran church in Richmond, Virginia. Mary's sister and her husband stood with us at our wedding. There were flowers at the ceremony, because another wedding was scheduled shortly after our wedding.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Sixty nine years after the wedding: My wife waits on me hand and foot. She puts drops in my eyes. If I had not married a teen ager, I might not have someone to help me now.</span></p><div><br /></div>Don Wolfrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00894650164449707216noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566099436403271378.post-48058157674720600092022-11-28T13:08:00.006-07:002022-12-05T13:58:29.551-07:00High school subjects<p> What were your favorite subjects in high school</p><p>High school subjects:</p><p>Latin, German, Greek, English, Math, Civics</p><p>Description: Desired, liked, popular, affection, fashionable, in demand</p><p>These courses don't fit a liked list.

I also like baking cinnamon rolls.</p><p>I enjoy eating banana bread. Pound cake and strawberries sounds good.</p><p>Pulled pork is one of my favorite foods.</p><p>I like beans...all kinds of beans. Pinto beans are tasty, lima butter beans are good, baked beans, refried beans, redbeans and rice, beans and bacon, great northern beans, green beans, and bean dip are musical fruit. There was a truckstop in Mississippi that served just bread and red beans. You could eat all you could eat.</p><p>My wife makes jambalaya gumbo. I like boiled shrimp, fried oysters, and raw oysters. She makes frito pie. She makes halusky. She makes shepherd pie.</p><p>Root beer floats are special. Then there are milk shakes. Peach pie is real good.</p><p>I've eaten more chocolate pudding than most people.</p><p>Chocolate cake with chocolate syrup and soft ice cream at Golden Corral is a treat. Turkey breast with cranberry sauce at the Golden Corral is tasty. </p><p>Swiss steak; I haven't had any in a long time, but I'm ready for some anytime. </p><p>A restaurant in Michigan had chicken giblets and rice in their freezer.</p><p>Try baked biscuits and honey from Bob Evans sometime!</p><p>A restaurant in Yuma, AZ served guacamole in serving bowls. You could eat all you wanted, and they refilled the bowls.</p><p>Pizza and pepperoni please taste buds. Just plain pepperoni does the same.</p><p>We can't forget peanut butter, mixed nuts, and chocolate peanut clusters.</p><p>A truck stop in Gary, IN had moist lemon cake on their menu. It was the best I have ever tasted.</p><p>There's some good barbecue in Memphis, TN.</p><p>They served boiled shrimp sandwiches on a train from Gary, IN.</p><p>We ate at a restaurant in Allison Park, PA, which offered all the ice cream with trimmings that you could eat. Sadly, they went out of business.<br /><br />Eat and Park in Allison Park, PA was one of our favorite restaurants.<br /></p><p>My mother gave hunks of Wisconsin cheddar cheese as gifts. A slice six inches in diameter and one half inch thick made a sandwich. George Limber's store in Ayersville, OH, sold the same sandwich.</p><p>Try this: Let a hunk of sharp cheddar cheese set a couple hours to let it get soft and to room temperature. If you don't enjoy it, then you're not like me.</p><div><br /></div><p><br /></p><p><br /><br /></p><div><br /></div>Don Wolfrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00894650164449707216noreply@blogger.com0
