I appreciate your attitude sir.



As I'm sure you know, I'm a recovering addict and alcoholic. I agree completely that its important to find a higher power of some sort to help us get thru the tough times.

Where the disagreements always come from is when we apply labels to whatever that power is, and expect others to apply the same labels to their higher power.

When I was attending meetings and speaking regularly, newcomers were always asking what my higher power, or "God" was. I never have been a very religious sort of person, but I do have an idea that works well for me.

I would tell them that we were all riding together on a big ass rock, hauling ass thru space.....and for my whole life, the big rock had yet to run into any other big rocks. Well....to me, that meant that the big rock was following a path....and whoever, or whatever created that path the big rock followed was probably "God". So...whenever I felt like I couldn't possibly make it another minute without getting loaded, I'd talk to the guy that steered the big rock......and ask for some help.

That seemed to help these guys find something they could sorta relate to, without getting into any religious talk at all. And...it was true.

Great answer.

Maybe heat them up on top of the stove first
Yeah I baked em up on the top of the wood stove in the house for a bit before I put them in there. I'll probably end up running this thing with some sort of forced air so it's going to get hellacious hot in there. It's good to ease the whole shebang into that really.
Jesus lives next door to me...:cool:

I hate to be a downer, but he changes oil where I work.
So does his kid.
And another one of his kids washes them.

Small world I did tree work with him back in the day. Helluva good worker too.

Only grandparent I have left. I was taking her to eat seafood regularly before Covid hit. I know she misses that.

The pandemic has put the clamp on a lot of good things. Seafood is a staple in this area some of the best places have suffered quite a bit because of the executive orders. My kids have 2 grandparents left, my wife's mom and my dad. All the others are gone. The nursing home lockdowns are pretty rigid here -- families have been separated from seeing each other. This is a real hardship. Our governor lifted some limitations but not enough in my opinion. I'm hoping for the "old normal" to return. I don't care much for the "new normal."

Yes our state still has nursing homes on lockdown. That’s valuable time:oops:

Afternoon E Hoa's.
Headin in.
Only got a little over halfway done with the topsoil and seeding. Found a stupid buried nib wall that needed mattocking out as well as a few more wheelbarrows of riverstones that needed raking and outing.
Still progress is progress ay.
As for the Him/Direction conversation, do what you gotta do. If what you gotta do is holla to someone, then feel free to do so to me. I'm up all hours. I speak funny, but i listen just fine.
Keep safe ay.
