Now, I'm Not Claiming To Be Anything More Than A Wrench That Can Also Fab, So Bear That In Mind As You

One more from Idaho, 2009. Craters of the Moon, with the guilty party(cinder cone) in the background. (Since visiting Kilauea is currently out of the question! Sigh...Love of volcanology...)

Gods, how it sucks. Much love for my Li'lBit. I've got your back, Sweet Stuf 🤗🖤

Wanza, at 87, heading for a wedding...with a biscuit for her Schnauzer. (Who was peaved that Mom was going somewhere without her...the nerve!)

I am an older fella. Not ashamed to cry, at all. Some of my dearest brothers and sisters have referred to me as "The Sensitive Biker", and we all have a good laugh, because it's true. There is a time when I am crying, that being on the wrong side of me might be a bad thing: I have been known to cry while infuriated...and those who've known me a long time have seen it. And yes, I am pleasd to be able to feel that intensely. There was a time when I had no feelings at all, except rage, and I bottled that shit down deep. Over 33 years ago I made some changes in my life, found and healed that guy inside, and allowed myself to let it out in healthy fashion, whether in laughing or crying, or simply letting myself love life as it is. Have a great day!

A Blessed Equinox to everyone, today. My thanks to the Old Ones for the Father that was mine, passed the Veil 19 years ago today. Whenever I note a Redtail watching me, I know he is, too. Love you, Richard.

Blessed Solstice

Grateful for another Yule.

Heart squeezed, and dusty in here...

The night before the burial of her husband 2nd Lt. James Cathey of the United States Marine Corps, killed in Iraq, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of him, and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. “I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it” she said. “I think that’s what he would have wanted”. -Not sure what is more honorable: Being married to this faithful wife to the end or the Marine standing next to the casket watching over them both. IN HONOR OF ALL OF OUR ARMED FORCES PLEASE SHARE THIS.

Mr. Jayne at 6 months. Filling out, in a growth surge now(taller and longer). Weighed in at 55lbs on Saturday the 16th. Loves to run and play, full of affection at all times. That's my boy!

Working on getting Fenris used to being around Timber the cat. Timber would hang out with Morena, our Boxer, before she passed; the trick now is getting puppy Fen to be more relaxed in approaching Ms T. She wants to run up and nose her sooooo bad...and Ms T ain't havin' that shit! 😆
