Up and smiling

Lots of stuff could be better but I’m up and smiling this morning. Looking forward to some exercise and working on my hobbies today. I’m having trouble deciding if I’m going to make the Miata club meeting this afternoon. I’m sure they are going to be treating the roads, and my ride is all clean under the cover right now.

On the other hand, the roads are going to be a real mess with snow for at least a week with nothing above freezing happening in the 7 day forecast, so this is my last chance. It’s so strange driving that car with the top up anyway.

Well, I’ll contemplate that dilemma later, right now I have some good music inspiring the morning and thinking of the possibilities. So, I took a break from writing and decided to continue the editing project and the song “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith came on as I opened this photo.

A good reminder to keep it slow and steady.

And here I was tempted to throw this guy away before that moment. He’s a visitor each summer and made me wonder how old these box turtles live. Google says 25-35 years but possible up to 100. I’ll just look at it like we are sharing the land.

I’ve almost hit him a few times in the yard with the mower. That’s another thing I don’t like about these lawn services with the huge mowers that go so fast. They aren’t worried about what might be in the way. I stop for snakes, turtles, frogs.

I should get some exercise and finish a post about a co-worker who left the job. Have a great morning all.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • 37 Days and 18 hours till Spring Training opens. Hey Hey Baseball
  • Once the cold gets in my body it’s hard to get out.
  • I had better brush up on my snow settings in the camera. It’s been a great while since we have seen significant snow.
  • All people change over time. Just watch out for which direction that is.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
