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

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

Home and other sundry things.

Says it all. The Missus was crossing from the parking garage when I hit the baggage claim. Only cost three bucks for it this time. Did the run back over the Mountains to the AV. X-Mass Shopping in Palmdale and Lancaster. Then we hit this neat little Italian place in Lancaster, Barone's. Righteous Good Shrimp Linguini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did a stop at BevMo! Got a bottle of Crown Royal Black and a six pack of a Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale from Anderson Valley Brewing Company up north of the bay area. It just sounded so good. I have yet to sample it. I will let the world know and have a pic of the bottle. It was ten bucks for the sixer.
Slowly unpacking.
Gotta trouble shoot the Titan. It quit on the Missus whilst I was in Utah. The tow guy said it sounded like the fuel pump was going. The AutoZone site is down right now. They have pretty good trouble shooting info on it.
But not sweating it. If it is the pump I have to have it done as the pumps on the new "injected" systems is in the tank. Labour intensive.

Good luck on the truck. The days of shade-tree maintenance are pretty much gone. For good.

It's GOOD to be home, innit?

I will not go down and tell my children I didn't have the courage, the conviction, the commitment or the character to fight for this country...Don't go home and let your children down~~ LTC Allen West
