OK, It's Friday.

So I think I'll clean out the cobwebs in my cranial attic with some quick observations.

Young children are too quick to learn to enjoy other people's discomfort. :) Witness the glee of my granddaughter observing one of my son's co-workers giving up his hair. Several of the folks in Jon's department "volunteered" to get a boot-camp haircut if a certain number of cans of food could be donated in one week. Vi obviously enjoyed the shearing.



Side bars with step pads are a great thing if you're 61 years old and drive a Jeep where the door sill is over 30" off the ground. Think stepping onto a table every time you get into the car. I should have done this a long time ago. Marilyn can ride now, too without toting a step stool around to get in and out.

It's great to have the drought over with, but only the weeds in my lawn seem to have realized that it's raining at least once a week.

My family is my greatest blessing. Despite doubts when they were growing up, my kids are all solid citizens, and the grandchildren are a delight.

I've got to get busy on the truck. Tyler just turned 14 and I only have a couple of years before I have to turn it over to him. It needs to look like a truck instead of a pile of paint chips deciding where to fall. 21 years in the weather, 450,000 miles, Chrysler's late-80's problem with paint adhesion, and a couple of traffic "Oh Crap!"s have taken a toll on the exterior. No rust, but every time I wash it, there's less color on it. It's time to start exercising the hammers, dollies, welder, grinder, and sanders in preparation for new paint.




The garage has become a perpetual disaster area. Too much stuff in too little space. Volunteers needed to help excavate the area for the shed. :)

George (formerly Gracie) the cat has taken to the outdoors like the wild animal that he is. I have not seen a bird or squirrel in the yard since he got the bum's rush and became an outside cat.

I've spent enough time at the computer. There are things to do and people to see, so I'll close with...

Stay well, and try not to grow up!
