New phone today

Yep had to get a new phone. Busted the old screen
Now I have to get to know this new one.

Back from vacation

Well, I have been back home from my road trip for 1 week. Never been so bored in my life.. been getting up early, sleeping heavy, and trying to get stuff done.
Mowed the front lawn friday after work, almost did the back yard Saturday, but worked on some stuff instead. 
Got up at 8:30 Sunday. Sitting out on the patio drinking coffee and watching the grass grow. 

Went for steak Friday night, still good! But was home by 11:30.. went again last night for trivia, and the place was slow, stuck it out til 1.

Today's plans are volunteer work and prob mow the back yard.. maybe. Change the oil in the cars, work on radio stuff..

ISTBA still, but I really am not doing much to change that.

My road trip proved that in some cases, once your gone you should stay that way, some friends can't explain you in their lives to their current life.. I did say 'friends' . . .  Hmmmm
Others could remain your friend if you continually invite them. I probably should have got off the couch, even just to move to the floor, but that seemed confusing and maybe a bit more than could have been explained.  . . Hmmmm

Anyway, life will have to go on with out them.

I found out that 2 guys I went to school with have died in the past year. One this past month and one a year ago this week. Sad to hear, people I should have got to know better.

I will need to get through this month financially, and then see about fixing the car and also starting the work on the old car's new engine. That should keep me occupied.

E, you had me thinking about the stuff, I am guessing it is bad timing, I think you were telling me at dinner that we will be friends, before you proved it to me, sorry I misunderstood. I was thinking it was me or my baggage not just timing, I figure stuff out if I think about it. Sometimes (usually) think too much, but no grudges. I just wish we had a chance to talk about it before I misunderstood and got all hurt. Made me think I did something or didn't do something.  I realize my home situation is unconventional, but it works the way it is for everyone but my personal life, and I know that really don't matter to anyone but me, and it seldom bothers me, much.  
See you when I see you, and you will be 'seen' .

Vacation

Well, I am at the end of my vacation.. about 1000 miles to go to get home.
Well deserved, dreadfully needed, way too expensive.
Just had to be done. Drove over 3000 miles at the halfway point. Visited a few old friends, and fought the heat in my new car with the busted air conditioning - damn hwy raccoon - no one has the part I need and it is gonna cost $800 to replace.
So, driving the last day of the past 14 without.

Nice thing, I re-affirmed a past friendship, determined the status of a couple other friendships, drove...my relaxer.. swam,  taught my daughter how to swim.

So all in all I should be ready to go back to the grindstone.   More later..
