ROCKPORT, TEXAS
JANUARY 23, 2025
We finished off changing our sleeping arrangement for colder weather like we recently endured locally. Now we will add a rated sleeping bag to our sleeping gear. We feel that it will be a nice comfort for the occasional time we might need it when boondocking. So far that frequency has been about every third year since we got the Castle.
Then virtually all the rest of the day was spent putting together an attempt at filling out and filing an application for help with hearing loss due to service in Viet Nam in 69-70.
Texas has a group that helps American veterans file for possible financial assistance to repair or fix in some way damages the vet got during service for the country. They have agreed that the OFM has a reasonable case to file for assistance. It took up most of today because they are fairly thorough with the getting the information for the request in good order for success. The OFM request was put into the mail today. This means we will likely stay in the area for a few weeks while the mail and the VA does their job.
Other than this effort we mostly just piddled around relaxing more than usual on an overly cool day. Have fun friends, we will be doing our best at it.
I've had hearing aids (and batteries) supplied by the VA for 6 years or so. I find their clinics and medical personnel first rate. I was a Purple Heart recipient from the Army, Vietnam, 1967. I get my treatment at the Amarillo, TX VA Hospital.
