Tis Friday (not a freeday  :-)   )

Spent the day building a huge Cantilever gate: one of two to cover a 50′ opening. (we learned our lesson building those monstrosities as single units.)

Then stepped out of my routine, and did something completely frivolous.    I went out.  I had a dinner (by myself for those nosey-bizzy-bodies) and then did some shopping for gifties.  

It was dark by the time I came home, and the only aspect of ‘routine’ I kept was I called Da to let him know I was gonna be late and ‘cya tomorrow’,,,    That was more a pre-emptive strike than a polity,,,  If I am ‘too late’, he’s calling me wanting to know if I’m ok.    Better to get it out of the way and not get interruptions.

Not that I was up to no good or seeing someones wife behind backs.   Just getting out and being, I dunno, NORMAL I guess you could say,,,   Not really something I am familiar with or good at, to be honest.   And it has been a VERY long time I ‘took a left turn’ in routines.   When I lived in Cincy, such was the Norm for me after EX and I split.   More nights spent slurpin’ down coffee at some diner, reading the nets, deep diving in rabbit holes and the occasional wild conversation with a friend or two.   I haven’t many of them left in this ‘little galaxy’ and our times tend to be much more scheduled: not impromptu.  (THOUGH,,, When we do get together, the events might take strange turns and do strange things; like paddling the DirtyBird at low flow,,,,)   Admittedly, none of us take ourselves too seriously, as can be shown by the recent addition of a T-shirt we all sport.

I’d say ‘we let our hair down’ but all the doods tend to be short shorn,,,   But we do get a little loose,,,

I miss ’em.  Been too long;  the most recent event, I had to take off to fix a blowed up toilet and destroyed bathroom floor.   Soon,,, we have a get-together for after New Years,,,

The weekend is upon me, and not sure what I’m gonna do.  May take Lyssa out for a spin, may not, and can’t say it will be weather that stops me.  Nope, if I don’t go, it will be due to my impulsive nature taking a break.    No torn up mekanikal stuff to deal with (so far),,,   I may just take the day to re-organize tools (and clean the danged things) that are still sitting at my Da’s place (in my old shop trolley I used when I was doing that shit for a living.)  

Dunno,,, the pages are blank awaiting a story to be told.

And that can be a liberating thing,,,,
