Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Freeday Start, spoiled kittehs,,,

up early, 5 am sort of start,,,   sleep monitor says I only slept 4 hours,,,  sounds about right,,,,

Kittehs are all stroppin’ me legs as i make my coffee,,, spoiled brats want my creamer,,, (real cream, not that wannabelikecreamsoycrap,,,). LOL,,, I did it to myself: I gave the little socialists a treat once and now its become a demand: they loves that cream,,,,

Opened the Mac to start this post and pulled up Utoobies (was gonna link other things) and found that Mark E had posted a Vlog update,  

enjoy,

aw man,,,   those palms, the beaches, clear saltwater,,,  Looks WARM, and compared to the 39F outside,,,   aw man,,,,   

*Sigh*

some day,,,

hell, with the speed he has been pulling, he may be in SC in a month, and I had planned on making that trip to my Sis’s place and attempt a meet up with him at Charleston Harbor,,,   Unfortunately, it appears that my race schedule may interfere with that plan, (and I pay for the privilege of racing,,, money spent either way, but most race promoters do not have a refund policy; you race or don’t, but the money is THIERS then,,,,) 

Sciatica has been an issue the last week.  I think it’s the cold mornings and the Cold-ass Reefer style building I work in.   Lots of welding this week (three 160CF tanks of Argon mIx worth) and standing on cold ass concrete in a freezing cold building that takes ALL damned day to get to ambient temps,,,   Usually fine till I sit for a few, then when I stand, I just wanna fall to the floor and curl up in a ball,,,   Least to say, I have to force myself to do ANYTHING at that point.   Getting on the erg, stretching exercises, walking dawgums so dawgum can poo (scaredykat mutt is afraid of the neighbors dawgs,   Can’t says I blame him, he is outnumbered: I think though, even with his age, he’d give ’em an education in FAFO,,,  I’ve seen Voo take on a Feral Sow in Texas, and only picked up a scratch in the process,,,  He’s a tough’un.)

Yeah, that whole achy bod thing sucks a$$,,,  Like Rusty said on the beach in Corpus Christi,,, “gettin’ old ain’t for pussies” Tough it out, Harden the fuck up, whatever you wanna call it, say about it, dadadadadalalallalala,,,, Keep moving forward.   Only thing I can say about getting older:  The brain don’t age at the same rate as the bod (up to a point, then that grey matter hits OVERDRIVE,,,). Or like B said in a text the other day.  “Brain says 19, body has a check engine light on and says, FAFO old man!!!”   ROFL,   Yup,,, Every Damned Day,,,,

Its my Freeday,,,  start of a (not long enough) long weekend,,, the skies are getting lighter out, (cloud cover and its definitely raining, as mamakat just informed me, by coming in and shaking off ON ME!!!). I have some bill-paying that needs done today, one of which is at the courthouse (Buffalo needs new tags,,) though the others can all be done online, at whim, I never late pay,,,  and I really really REALLY want to get on water.   

and seeing Marks Vlog post, REALLY want to head south for it,,,   

not happening, 

not yet,,,

Keep moving forward,,,  standing still is opening the valve on entropy, and entropy kills,,,,

(from my last float with Ghost before handing her over to B,,,   She’ll likely be my competition in the upcoming race)

(silly side note. Just checked my sleep monitor for shits-n-giggles, It shows that the entire time I was writing this post, I was in Deep sleep mode,,, Seriously,,, Guess it shows I find writing relaxing or something,,,,,)
