Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Sunday and the chores are done: Updated

Got a nice little white rock area in the sidewalk-porch corner almost done. I need some more white rock. There is a cool planter with several cacti and a desert succulent in it. The Missus is going to get stuff from thrift stores to finish it off. I did it earlier as it is now 86 F outside. I also got the laundry done with the jeans, shorts and my t-shirts being dryed outside on a rack. Gotta love that Desert Sun!!!!!

Lunch is done and I have been watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Philadelphia eliminated Pittsburgh earlier today. I can imagine that Buck is happy about that one. His Red Wings were eliminated the other evening by Nashville. Currently on is Boston at Washington. Washington leads three games to two. It is 2-1 with about three minutes left in Period One.
My Los Angeles Kings meet the Vancouver Canucks later. LA is up 3 games to 1 and could eliminate the Canucks tonight. But the games are played inside your TV set and not on paper. 
Bruins win in the OT. This series is going to game seven.
 
I am enclosing a shot of our temp on the line yesterday..................It was a bit on the WARM side to say the least. The uniform of the day is now shorts!!!!!!
Taken mid afternoon. It was really warm inside the tow tractor I had just parked.

This is the little project I did today. The Missus has plans for the rest of the area around the planter.
