Monday/ Tuesday/Wednesday. 3/12-14
Beautiful morning. I cruise down to ATA about 10am and check the clay courts. We’ll need to lower the water level but I’ll let UJ make that decision. Grabbed the ipad, logged on to
ATA wireless and updated ttrlt.n. Looks like a three day rotation. I watched the videos from my hike in McKinney Rough and thought my bird whistling was improving at the end. Maybe i should start with something a little shorter to whistle. And it’s hard to whistle and giggle, just saying.
I’m starting to understand how to get things accomplished w/o involving UJ. He’s the molasses to my projects. Deb Cahill, the Allie of ATA. COO, Chief Operating Officer. Bingo! All of a sudden I’m zipping off emails, ordering parts and coding invoices! Oh, and going to the dump just to keep me humble. I also have some orange marker paint. I outlined a area on the ground and wrote “trash”. We’ll see if that’s were the bags end up. Oh, put a new sprayer on their utility sink… I’m sitting here thinking, about what they are thinking, about me. I’m ….handy. If i see a problem that i can fix, i fix it. They’re a bunch of bloody tennis coaches for christ sakes, not much mechanical skills required. I also DON’T walk over trash or litter. Nope i pick it up, I’ll go out of my way to pick it up. Don’t see many people picking up litter. Aren’t i special!
Golf tomorrow. Wednesday hiking Southeast Metropolitan Primitive Trail, the best hill country hike per somebody. What do you know, it’s real close to the golf course. That’ll be nice.
Like the picture of Allie? It was on the ipad when i opened my photo app. Kinda scary, huh? I must of taken it while FaceTiming. It’s the only thing i could figure out or you’re haunting me.
UJ and Doug went golfing today. I was with them but I’m not sure what i was playing…..consistently bad comes to mind. I don’t want to write about it. Bad! I didn’t let it ruin my day. Beautiful morning, nice sunrise! No camera. UJ dropped me off at the schooner and went to ATA. I got a bookstore and market run in and now, all i need is propane.
Saturday morning heading NW towards Lubbock Texas. I want to go to Palo Duro Canyon, a Comanche stronghold, the “Grand Canyon of Texas. Close to 500 miles away, translate into 3 days….or more.
My plan for Wednesday was to hike. Didn’t have the energy. Finally got out of bed at 8:45am. Just didn’t feel like doing six miles.Hung out in the morning doing nothing and then after lunch drove in to Dripping Springs for some rope and to fill my propane bottle. Got back and got UJ’s hammock all situated and gave it a good workout. Read, snoozed and swung. Cleaned Bill up and started getting ready to leave on Saturday. Still on a reading frenzy. Now Brad Thor. A nice day of doing nothing. Been going over the maps and have a tentative plan together. I don’t want to get in a hurry going home but i do miss the granddaughters. I’ll start really looking at the weather in case of trouble.
UJ’s shower head-Oxygenic- nice. As nice as I’ve used since they went lo-flo. I have been a shower head snob for a long time. I think Delta combination handshower/showerhead is as good as it gets. But now i need to do some research on Oxygenic.
