That awkward moment

when the 70’s and 80’s existed simultaneously,,,, LOVE that comment!!!!

My anthem for the day,,,,

rain out,,,    Had a short project needed finished, but was the only peep about and temps were dropping,,,  Finished and went home,,,

Dusted off the Erg for the season.   Probably going to need it soon, ’cause I know there are going to be times where getting out just ain’t gonna happen.   Not that I won’t go, but that whole solo thing still mitigates me taking unneccesary risks.    Gear can only do so much, and unlike on coastal locations, We don’t have the ‘luxury’ of being able to jump on the VHF and call for help.  (Lake Cumberland has areas where that is doable, my usual digs do not)

Trying to be patient with things right now.   Feeling antsy to get to SC and pick up a boat and have a mini-vakay,,,  Torn as to which is pulling harder on the impatience,,,,   Feel like a 6yo at the beginning of December,,,   counting the days, hours, minutes,,,    Get on the Erg and paddle for 15 minutes, practice edge control, trying to push my self ‘over’ more and maintain control. (not 100% simulation, but damned close to how Lyssa responds)  Paddle some more,,, look at clock and sigh,,,,

Too much time on my hands,,,,,

idle hands make for long days.

Pull the campgear out and re-organize for winter roles.

too much time on my hands,,,,

SO I pulled the Food Dryer project out, drew some lines on the tank, even cut a couple of slots (where the hinges will go BEFORE I cut the rest of the door out.  Cleaner that way.)  But I didn’t want to drag it to the welder and get that far into it today.   Mostly just some idea plays getting out.

One reason I dislike winter months (and ya, I know we aren’t in winter YET,,,) is the dying daylight thing.  Shorter days, but I am not wired to sleep THAT MUCH,,,,   And its still too early in the season for binge reading,,,   I do read a lot, year round, but that list of things ‘to be read’ gets pummeled into submission in the winter months.   ( I have a stack of books next to the desk that I have started, but not really dug into because SUMMER,,,,)   You could ask my Sis,,, I’ll sit down after breakfast with a book and have it done before the end of the day, and may start back in on it, if I think I ‘missed something’.   Most books get read several times, not always back to back, but over years,,,  Until I can recall the scenes at whim, without needing to open the book.

too much time on my hands,,,,

This is why I know I will never “Retire”,,,  I may not be as involved in physical work, but the mind will not rest, even when the weather dictates idleness.   That is the one thing I have been striving for with the meditation thing,,, calming the mind, getting it to exit the gears and just idle,,,,   Seems like I ‘get it’ one week, and rebound the next,,,,

too much time on my hands,,,,,  t-t-t-ticking away,,,, I don’t know what to do,,,,

ROLFMAO,,,,
