A sign of an American

Americans drive EVERYWHERE,,,

I heard that more than a few times from Euro friends in my past. Especially the T-bag Sound ‘Engineers’,,, (gawd forbid you called them a sound guy, they would get livid!!)

Well, I guess I am fully American, since I shed an anxiety when I got the Buff up-n-runnin’. I had been feeling a touch trapped here on the hill. Had tranport, of a sort; if you wanna call a Honda Fourwheeler transport,,, Around here, they are for many: like those that have five too many DUI’s and can’t get a license let alone insurance without serious monetary output (and they can’t get a good job since they have no reliable transportation,,, Its a cycle that just keeps feeding itself, and for the most part, self-inflicted,,,)

But yeah, once I had Buffalo running, I did some of the things that I had been holding off on, like depositing my paycheck (closest ATM I can use without getting hit with fees is in B-ville; 14 miles away. A bit of a hump on a fourwheeler.) and picking up a package that had been delivered to work. Another downside of this place: Zon doesn’t want to deliver many items to my location even though there is only a half mile difference between it and where I work.

When I had a moment, I sent a text to B. One word; FREEDOM!!!! and it sure as hell felt like I had shed some chains, suddenly having my ‘wings’ back. She may ‘just’ be a truck, but when you live 20 minutes from nowhere and thats 40 minutes to somewhere,,,, Wheels is IMPORTANT.

(and admittedly, Kayak hauling is SO so much easier when you have something to strap them onto instead of lugging them miles and miles on a shoulder.)

Tomorrow is domestics day, and I have a mess of clothes that are in dire need of serious washing (or burn pile,,,) AND, I fully intend to get Lyssa wet again ASAP. Blue Jean is down right now as I am remaking her hatch covers and she is not seaworthy without them. (she can hande the flat stuff, so long as you don’t try edging,,) I started doing that because they were leaking in rolls, and I had down time since I didn’t have anywhere to go or a way to get there if I did,,, Now, I am halfway into the job and suddenly find I have FREEDOM. I will get them done, a bit every night (hand stitching them, and these hands don’t handle small repetitve tasks like they used to,,,)

AND,,,, Monday is Memorial Day. I think this time period in the US, with our forgotten warriors of the past that did the deed, should be remembered MORE and reflection on what they fell for,

because this sure as hell ain’t it!!!

times are changing, and the level of ‘fed up’ is growing. That we have a fraudulant administration is pretty much accepted as fact by even those on the other side of center/right and I have heard some of them voicing disgust by what they see. While I wanna rub their noses in it, I don’t,,,, But I do tend to mention the ‘we warned you, but you didn’t listen,,,’

I’ll be back tomorrow, maybe with some pics from my church. The trees are all in full glory these days, and the waters have been showing this awesome blue-green cast for weeks: I wanna share that with y’all…
