Crap, only a week before Xmas. I better go shopping. Oh good, my better half has it under control and wrapped. One of the many wonders she pulls off each year.

Photo Journey Day 48 – 12/18/24

I didn’t shoot much yesterday, or the day before. I’m getting slack again, or just busy also. It is the holiday season. So, I caught this squirrel outside the back door yesterday enjoying the warm weather.

We took advantage of the warm weather to go get our live Christmas tree yesterday. Lights go on it today.

I had good intentions with the camera yesterday. I went out in the afternoon to gas up the go-cart and was going to shoot for an hour. But to be honest I got selfish. It was 61 degrees and sunny, so I put the top down and cruised for an hour or more. Just soaking up some sun and listening to music going through the gears.

So chalk one up to a lazy sunny day. You don’t get many of those in the Mid Atlantic in mid-December. And when you do, you see others touched by it on their motorcycles and convertibles with the tops down.

I’ll do another shot when decorated. Photo by Mike Hartley

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • This transfer portal thing is injuring college sports. But it’s a mirror of society. The rich get richer. I’m not sure what happened to the word commitment, but it sure has changed.
  • I might not be able to reach out and touch a satellite spying on me, but my gun and aim are pretty good with skeet shooting, so a drone should be no problem. And if they come in volume, I have lots of friends who love to shoot skeet also.
  • Being a one-man band is time consuming and hard work. But it’s damn good to have a band.
  • It’s almost time to hibernate for a few months. The cover is on the Miata. It’s warm inside. I’m good.
  • I love the smell of a live tree. Well, used to be alive tree.
