Mondays.
God love ‘em, they’re really just another day but they get such a bad rap for their name.
Monday.
It means the first day of the week, when you up-and-at-‘em gotta go back to the proverbial salt mines after two days of real living.
But then, for me, this is a day off –the LAST day off of six days in a row I had to burn or I would lose ‘em back to The Job. Heh, and ain’t NO WAY I was gonna give up my time of real living back to The Job. No way in hell.
So for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and now Monday I’ve pretty much just screwed off around the house. You know, sleeping in and that sort of thing and pretty much lummoxing around for the best part of the morning. Right now, after some recent rains, the lawn could use a mowing for the first time this year but…naaaah.
I wanna lummox around some more…

I did go in to work for about an hour or so late yesterday evening though. I knew my inbox would be jam-packed overflowing and as Sunday evenings are usually (read usually) slow I thought it would be a good time to sneak in and clean up accumulated blah-blah before going back to work full tilt Tuesday morning.
And of course there were a few shit storms smoldering and just waiting on me. Wished I could elaborate but…sorry, I cannot. Suffice it to say it’s always something around that damned place but nothing can’t be fixed. Heh, no hill for a climber, ya know. ; )

Let’s see…I’m forever one who’s gotta be looking forward to something! In mid May I’ll be running my first 10K. Yesterday afternoon I ran eighteen very hilly laps around “the berm” at the local football field. And why eighteen laps? ‘Cause eighteen laps makes six miles which is a…10K! Funny, but it wasn’t to long ago at all I could just barely do ONE lap! Now I can do EIGHTEEN! I’m still kinda slow as I just manage to sneak in under the one hour mark for this particular distance but…small steps! Progress comes but it sure does come slooooooooow.

…and speakin’ of lookin’ forward to shit: another jump! I have a jump ticket that I positively-absolutely gotta use before July 5th. Wished I didn’t live so damned far from the Drop Zone ‘cause I could really get into this skydiving thing! But maybe I can squeeze in and manage to get ‘er done maybe two-three (dare I say four?) times a year. We’ll see…
Oh, and my youngest wants to go jump BAD! As he is not gonna be eighteen until next Christmas day he’ll have to wait a little longer since they won’t let you jump under that age no matter what. Hmmm…my wife says. Insanity must be a genetic thing…

School.
Yep, I may have to go to a school for The Job sometime late June waaaaay down south for a week. That’s another thing but I ain’t exactly lookin’ forward to that at all.

Due to several problems both anticipated and unanticipated and with the rising cost of gasoline, my foray back into the cattle business has turned out to be a brief one. It’s just going to have to wait a little longer until I can commit myself more to it. So, I sold out before I lost any money and bought some AT&T stock since interest rates are in the shitter. Heh, it’s the first time I ever bought an individual stock before and it’s kinda fun watching it –and so far, so good.
Again, we’ll see…

A Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200XL.
Hmmm…been looking at a friend’s bike he has for sale –even took her for whirl. Didn’t think I’d ever been interested in a bike again (let alone another Sportster, lol) but, ya know, with gas getting’ like it is and all and…
Nah.
Better not. I’m one for pushing luck but not for heave-hoing it that much. Besides, been there-done that ya know?
But then on the other hand…
Ack! Mondays!
