    Straight shot. 17 to 10S. Exit, go straight 2 lights, turn left to complex, turn left into.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Yes, that was it! I recall you had a rough time of it.

    I've been watching Jordan Peterson videos and resin art videos today. Looking for a hobby.

    Neighbor called around 9 this evening and asked if their 19 year old daughter could spend the night up here. They are out of town and a guy walked way down their dirt road driveway to ask if they wanted a quote on window replacements. After dark, remote property and the dogs went camping 2nd with rest of family so she was home all alone. Called 911 and they said she should probably find someone to stay with. So I've been debating with 19 year old collage kid about societal beak down.

    Finally headed to bed ...TTYT

    Well, you're going right through the very heart of Phoenix downtown then. You'll be in the worst traffic there is, bumper to bumper, stop and start, inch along.

    Water level down, waiting for monsoons, so we waded a bit, Janet the only one to submerge. That is snowmelt from Flagstaff mountains, damn cold. Yes, I'm a wuss!

    Walked back to Myriam's home, she had dr appt, so Janet and I took off to The Hideaway. I had sweet & spicy sausage and pepper grilled sammy, Janet chose a grinder. Heavenly sammies.

    Then it was "goodbye" for now, though we'll see each other Saturday at Safeway, not the same...

    She'd hoped to drive down with me, but we're both happy her brother and SIL are coming in from Maine on Monday.

    I'll post sime pics later, got to get to wifi to upload.

    Well, it's Saturday, it's also Memorial Day weekend, I had the news on but the TV has been on MUTE again for over an hour. I just get so sick of listening to talking heads. As soon as they say... "let's bring on so and so to get their REACTION"... I'm done... don't need any REACTIONS from anybody, I'm smart enough to form my OWN REACTION, thank you. Seems as time goes by, I just have less and less desire to watch these talking heads on TV. It's 60% listening to opinion, 10% factual news reporting, and 30% commercials about drugs, pillows or travel websites.

    Time to slam on some high volume tunes and kick off this weekend right, time for Spotify.

    Wish I had my new hotrod...

    Daughter is at a tailgate in Maryland.
    Russ is “working from home” all morning.
    So here I sit drinking my coffee from a moose mug, at loose ends. Le sigh.

    So I'm out in the garage doing curls (not that Olympic shuffleboard-looking crap but with weights) and up walks two guys and I immediately recognized one. He was in the 11th MEU in Somalia when I was. They were handing out flyers for some Memorial Day service at the church up the road. The other guy was retired Air Force.

    First thing he asked was how did I end up here. I was born here? We chit-chatted a bit and they moved on. That was MY surreal moment for the day
