the “I ditched it all” post

today was ‘different’.   Had all the klowns and monkies of the circus I call J.O.B. in the shop today.   They were stretching those panels for dog kennels I have been building since they are already sold and the promise date was, you guessed it, TODAY.

To say I was burnt out on peeps by the end of, HUGE understatement. 

Left the shop, Blessedly alone, went out to eat because I was feeling downright lazy to boot. Sit down dinner at my fave Chinese place; $14+tip, can’t beat that for all you can eat chinese and seafood.

Then I came home and something wasn’t feeling right.

So I turned the phone off.   Not just put to sleep, SHUT OFF, and left it sitting on the porch in the growing cold.   If anyone needs to get ahold of me, they can come up here dammit,,, I want a break, and one I know I can’t be interupted in.

5 hours later,,,,  MUCH BETTER,,, go ahead and turn the bloody thing back on, but I am not playing on it tonight.  Its gonna sit for a spell, me with a dead tree edition sumpin’r’nudder, and glass of bourbon on ice. (well, no more than posting this, then it sits, dammit!)

F! the world tonight,,,,

Ok, ok, so I didn’t go full bore and ditch it for long or permanent like,,, That day may be coming though.   I know I have said that if I KNEW they, whoever ‘they’ is, were coming for me, I would trap a possum and duct tape my live phone to the poor beastie, then head in the opposite direction…  Let them chase down poor little Opossum.   I would love to be a fly on the wall in the HQ of that scenario,,, 

Weather is looking flat nasty this weekend.   The winds were damned fierce most all today,   Blew my shop door off its hinges (fixed now) and when I was headed to the Chinese restaurant, saw the little lake at the golf course had white caps.  This is a 3 acre lake,,, Whitecapping,,,  wow,,,,  Would imagine Laurel lake was prime chaos in wave action today.   No way I would paddle in these winds though,, to unpredictable.  High winds with Gusts reaching over 50,,,, To far out of my league of paddling experience.(Eventually, I will build up to near that, but Force 9-10 is a bit much,,,)

And with all of that tapped out, I am tapping out of Technology for the evening,

Y’all stay warm and dry if you are in this storm area, and if not, stay safe anyways.  

Keep on livin’
