“to skate away on…”

Man.

It was brutal at work yesterday…

Rain and a bunch of packages that weren’t designed (or boxed) to fit in a Jeep Cherokee…too long a route….too many dirt roads…too many steep dirt roads…too long a route…TOO LITTLE TIME….

Arghhhhhh.

I’m a whiner…but…I don’t like a day that starts off frantic and maintains frantic-ness until it culminates in a mad (and, somehow, even more frantic) dash to the finish line where I’m just barely making it back to the truck with my outgoing mail.

That’s not a way to live.

Pushing down the frantic so I can cope with the day takes a lot of energy, too.

Pushing down the temptation to panic and really blow a gasket takes a lot of energy.

I wish that I had a long river to skate away on most of these busy days.

I don’t know if they make rivers long enough, though.

How far could I go?

This is a really nice cover…one of the nicest.

50×70 Garage House…A DUDE’S HOUSE!

This is a dude’s house.

I don’t mean “look! It’s some dude’s house!”

I mean….this is a DUDE’S HOUSE.

Look at the huge garage…and the smaller living area attached to it.

Smart.

Of course, it would need some tweaking to get it up to large family standards…but, it’s cool just the way it is.

My Dad always said that I should build a garage with an apartment over it…when I was single and talking about getting a place together.

This is a smart way to build…polished concrete and simple finishes.

Man…someday I’ll work on our cars in a shop like this….not in the cold gravel.

That would be cool.
