Simply random stuff

At least for the next 2 weeks, my travels have come to a crashing halt. I've visited all the damn soybean plots I can across the US....now many, if not most, are being harvested.

How do I go from 200 mph, to 20 mph? Seriously...it's a mind fuq. I'm home tomorrow, talking to a guy who is working on our garage. How do I talk? English? Broken sentences? I'm so used to my own company, alone in the truck for hours and hours. I don't think I can talk.

lmao

Well you can just wind down slowly...tell your wife that you need to unwind by staying in your truck until it get's dark and then pretend you are at a motel..

It's not going to be long now....my lights have been flickering....the poor folks in St. Petersburg had their sewage treatment plant closed...no showers...no toilets...nasty

You sound like a veteran coming home from the front. If you need some action, go spend some time in Florida.

I am slowly falling under the belief that placing importance on the quality of an experience is an antiquated practice according to the general populace. As long as you can see and hear things, who cares?

Well, both my sight and my hearing are suffering some of the ravages of age, so the fact that I still can see and hear is something I appreciate.

Not that I’m discounting the value of a better experience over a worse one, though. I’ve had a handful of experiences that were simply magical - the chorus in the balcony at a performance of “The Planets,” the milky way at Chaco Canyon National Park, petting a tiger at the Texas Exotic Feline Foundation, a week in Cabo before it got so over commercialized. These are memories I will treasure for as long as the brain cells allow, and I’m always looking for the magic to show up again.

I think the deterioration of senses to age is inevitable...but it seems like all the youngsters have no regard for the quality of what goes in their (relatively) perfect sight or ears...

Well I don't know if this is a new thing or not. But it certainly seems like a new thing!

LOL! I recall more than a few times being in the presence of someone wearing headphone and just the leakage made conversations difficult. I can’t imagine what it sounded like between the cans.

Not to say that I’m always careful with my own body. I’ve fired some pretty big weapons, hit my thumb with a hammer, fallen off bicycles, got sunburned, and even had unsafe sex whenever possible.

While there are plenty of studies that can teach us activities to avoid, most of them are things that bring joy to our lives.

I've done EVERYTHING that's bad for the human body during my lifetime. And I love ........................40ys as a Steamfitter/welder has broken down my body and eyesight. Welding is tough on the eyes, even though I personally bought the best Welding lenses, and not use the cheap green contractor supplied ones. My vision was 2000/20!
I had the Pan Opic replacement lenses put in. I can honestly say, the best $$ I ever spent, as I now have 20/20 vision

It's always funny when my group goes to lunch and everybody puts on their reading glasses, to read the menus.
New people in the group can't believe this old man can read that fine print

My new neighbor, a youngster, spends every non working hour sitting in his garage with music BLASTING. I hear the beat of bass in his car coming down the street.
But when he cuts the grass, he has on:
Hearing protection
Safety glasses
Dust mask


Yeah, he'll be a hearing aid candidate in a few years

My daughter in law took this photo with her cell phone of the Northern Lights. It seems that one can only see them using a camera if one is south of a certain latitude. Nice, but I would prefer to see them with my own peepers. LOL

@inspclouseau

Say, are you seeing any Aurora Borealis effects where you live? Perhaps you are too far south, but I know you've taken some terrific pics for us.
