I MAY HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR SOON

Well it looks like that I may have to go to the doctor soon for my ear. Although it still doesn't hurt I can't hear very well at all out of my right ear, I would say that my right ear has a 50% hearing loss at this time. When I pick up the phone I can barely hear the dial tone in my right ear, I may give it one more week to improve but I don't think it is. Jimmy Johnson won yesterday's race at the Brickyard, I thought for the most part that it was a very boring race. High School football practice starts today here in this area, also Andrew is going to play football this year and they also start practice tonight, he will be playing for the Wells Athletic Association. We sure could use some rain here in CH, it looks like there are plenty yards around here that have turned yellow the last few weeks. MICKEY
