I set up the GoPro for a quick NIGHTLAPSE last night. I didnβt use an external battery as it was supposed to rain but the stars and clouds playing together is pretty neat for me.
Gif because video is BIG.
I probably need to figure somewhere that I can store these online to make it easier to post here. Big files take up big space. I can probably figure out a link from my cloud.
If you were to ask me what my dream car is I would tell you several years back that it was a β68 Ford Mustang.
I just love them.
To me, maybe not to you, they are beautiful cars. I love the way they sit, I love the way they move. How they almost look at you as you walk by, maybe giving you a little wink, tempting you to take a spin.
There was a time that I would have given most anything to own one.
But, times change, people change.
Iβve come to realize that my dream car changed into a dream truck. Maybe not a dream, perhaps more like a happy life.
Heβs a green 1999 Ford Ranger. I came into possession of him for a few grand. Low miles, decent truck. It has its problems and Iβm working through them.
Not my photo.
The pic above is nearly identical to my truck. When Iβm done with this project it will be black and chrome. I love the contrast between the shiny and the dark.
The feeling of shifting and driving and enjoying something so simple, thatβs a better dream for me.
Monday came and I didnβt have the usual sense of dread. Today I was determined.
Everybody hates Mondays but I hate Tuesdays. Theyβre super busy for me and we rarely have time to get in what we need to do because of extra activities dropped on us.
Today me and my SM finished a major project and a fairly large project for this week. Itβs one of the bigger stores so itβs a bit of weight off our shoulders.
I came home tired but with a sense of accomplishment today. Thatβs rare in my job, Iβm sad to say.
Today was Easter and we did our church service as a tailgate affair.
And then off to Mamaw and Papaws for lunch and the Easter egg hunting. The oldest is feeling a little too old for this but still goes for the candy. Sugar will make you forget yourself, I guess.
The boy is eleven so an Easter Egg hunt is cool by him. Besides, heβs Mamawβs boy.
All in all a good day.
Finally getting around to Zack SnyderβsJustice League.
We started it last night and let me tell you, four hours is a long time.
But I understand. This is actually telling a story and itβs pretty great. This will move to the top of my list quickly. (Iβm not done yet.)
The only offerings Iβve truly enjoyed from DC live action are (in order of appreciation):
1. Batman Begins
2. Shazam (Truly enjoyed.)
3. The Dark Knight Rises (for finishing the story)
4. Christopher Reeve Superman movies.
5. The Dark Knight
The DCAU still kicks Marvelβs butt in superior animated quality. Period.
We received our new furniture today and as everything is shifting around the great room (my fault, needed a change) we decided to do our spring cleaning as well.
The wife pulled these off of one of our overladen bookshelves (seriously, theyβre stuffed).
Thatβs me. Basic Training β86.
I do not remember being that young. But as I think back on it my views on this country have not changed a bit. I have less faith in the government, yes. But the basic feelings for my country and itβs people havenβt changed.
And I would do it all over again. Every. Bit. Of. It.
But thatβs a long time ago. Thatβs where it was, this is where it is now.
Donβt worry, the hair is still there, and itβs fantastic.
Iβm a lot older, a bit wiser, lots more stable, thank God! Iβm blessed beyond all measure with a good family and home.
Weβre just two old fellas winding down from the day, enjoying a little TV. Catching up on NCIS.
Iβm off tomorrow so we can hang out while I clean house and take care of some projects.
Lots of things happening here and lots of money being invested in our home by us. You have to take care of what you can and improve on things when you can.
