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

Yoda

"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."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

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 in California

We got in on Wednesday Evening. Unloaded the next day which was Independence Day. Irony perhaps? No longer tied to the house in Wichita.
We filled a 10 by 10 storage unit in Wichita with furniture and boxes of stuff. I had a 6 by 12 U Haul trailer behind the Titan and it was full!
I got about 13 mpg overall on the return. I like my truck as it works and can pull about 9,200 pounds. But it can hurt at the pump.
We got everything into the garage and a storage unit we have here in Cal City. The trailer was returned on Friday AM with no issues at all. Done.
California is now home, for better or worse.
To all who sent the wishes and such, thanks from the bottom of my heart.
