You know, I watch a lot of western movies. I like them for some strange reason, I don't know why. The old stuff, not the modern day stuff. You know, 30's, 40's, 50's. I definitely don't want to be a cowboy baby!!!! (A little hat tip to ol' Rob Ritchie). I was watching one the other day and the character was having to sleep out in the desert because he was on his way somewhere and needed to get some sleep before going on. Okay, totally understand that. Here's what struck me - at 62 years old, after years and years and YEARS of watching these movies - the thought struck me - how can people sleep out in the desert like that? You lay down on the ground to go to sleep and you have snakes, scorpions, reptiles, bugs, spiders, etc., all crawling on the ground and how do you rest even for just a couple of hours without any protection? Short answer....can't be done. Impossible. My friend is working a shop here in Sanderson and has had to get the land around the shop cleared and he talks about

Well, life is funny. Or so "they" would have you think anyway. I don't find much humor in day to day living myself. It's actually quite insulting considering how people act these days. I do believe that we are actually regressing as a culture. At least it seems that way. Here, as of late, my health has taken a more substantial decline and things look like they are in fact seriously winding down for me. I hope so! Can't wait to get HOME! This particular post is for those who check my page to see my posts and see what I am up to. There will most likely come a time in the very near future where if you fav my work, or send me a note, if I don't respond within let's say 2 weeks or so, it is likely that I am no longer here! It's not like there is anyone who would be informing you of that fact. My friend is not on DA and he doesn't want to be on DA. He won't be informing anyone. So, just to let you all know that if you don't hear anything from me in two weeks or longer, the chances are you

My homeboy Tom Cullen would say "Laws YES!!" Yeah, we're back AGAIN! This time my friend believes that he has actually transitioned from the aircraft industry into something that he wants to do on his own. He has the backing and everything he needs. He is in the process of seeing if this is in fact going to work. And he is doing what he does best - FIX STUFF. This time, he is on his own terms, working for himself and doing things his way. Why do I hear Frank Sinatra in the background singing "My Way"? My apologies to my followers, watchers, readers about the absence here as of late. It's a myriad of things. Travel, computers, internet, etc. It's all one big mish mash of stuff. My friend is toying wth making the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It isn't going all that well for him, but all the laptops are basically down right now, with the exception of today. I turned one of them on to see if I could access DA and VOILA!!! I did. So, I am taking this time to check in and do
