A sister said her husbands sail boat has been in a barn a long time.
I said a guy has to have something, and it prolly does him good to know it's there.

One must keep the dream alive to stay alive.

But one day, one must live the dream.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.Mark Twain.

you know the song that may apply most to the critters is " I won't back down"

VERY TRUE!

Light wasn't as bad as usual, but here ya go G.I.B..

 

[releventchair]

Two heavy rounds went through. Just lightning and heavy rain by me the first go around. Rain and wind later.
We had light strobing most the night from weather south and east of my location where the link is from. Farther east in the state had another tornado touchdown or more.

surely you have pics of that game?

Jeff, my NASCAR Buddy,

Back then I didn't own a computer nor digital camera.

Poloroids were getting hard to find film for and I was so poor that I didn't even own a camera except for buying the "one time" cameras. That was for when you KNEW you were gonna take pictures.....

Spur of the moment+late night=no pictures, Buddy.
Sorry.

By the way,

I WON!

But I let her win the games.

There was a rematch later. Clothed that time and I beat her at both Chess and Scrabble at the same time.

Her attitude drastically changed about then when she found out that my kindness and affection DIDN'T mean that I was stupid.

Oh, well.
I think she was looking for a subservient male.

"Lord knows I'm not that one"

Hope you have been well, my Friend!

Best Wishes,

Scott

I'm sitting in Portland ME and the clouds are thick....

I'm asking about the Aurora light show. Lightning I get in Florida, and lots of it.

I've never seen the Aurora. We were clouded over last night too...

The news said it could be seen south past here.

 

[AU24K]

Jeff,

Thanks for the reminder.....I played that one for Crispin early on in the thread....and yeah most of the critters tend to have hard heads....lol...

Bill, You are correct about the hard heads. But it should also be noted that we have soft hearts.

We could not have such an amazing thread without Folks being able to treat each other as Family and when problems arise, we work out our differences.

I lived over half my life (so far) never saying, "I'm wrong. You are right. I'm Sorry."

Once I was able to say that, my whole world became quite a lot easier.

I took my own advice that I had once given to a Friend,
"Don't dwell on what you can't change but instead, work towards what you can change."


My locksmith Friend and I ran calls today; Rekeyed a couple of businesses, made "chip" keys for a half dozen or so vehicles and programmed them.
Then, I made keys for a commercial walk-in freezer and a boat ignition.

Tomorrow morning, I'll make keys for some Yamaha motorcycle.

Yes,
The discussions bore fruit and all problems have been resolved!

Thanks to all my "Family" here who had me in their thoughts the last few days during my difficulties!

Hope all have been well!

Best,

Scott
