IV D 17

Fans, I am liking this new date methodology & format. Roman numeral for the day, single or sometimes two letters for the month, first always a cap, and now two digits for the year. I think it works AND it rocks. Feel free to use it. No charge.

So it’s a Monday and Mondays are … what … blue ?

I have so much to do which I will share briefly and then jump back into the routine moving to exceptional tasks.

The last time I even thought about getting a report out was I D (first) then an art show & sale at Tupps into the night and III D (can’t or couldn’t use 3-D) was a beautiful Sunday you understanduse and I sneaked in a wicked bike ride in the afternoon which was interesting. And that is how I got here, today and now.

Yesterday I headed out for the bike ride shortly after 1:00. Usually people watch football. Well, I took GREAT COMFORT noticing vehicular traffic was ‘normal’. Then I saw guys, singles, WALKING taking in the warm sunshine & fresh air. This is rare & noteworthy. Then I saw a Dad riding a bike with his son.

SO ?

Well, SOME PEOPLE are NOT watching the NFL. I myself fly the flag on Sunday just to piss them off. AND if I had a confederate flag, I MIGHT just fly it as well.

Anyway, I felt good about myself late yesterday afternoon as the laundry was ALL DONE. Everything I owned was clean. Now this morning I see the last load was still in the dryer so I must set aside some precious time to FOLD said laundry today. Complete & total WASTE of time.

Last evening after the ‘free electricity’ started, I binge watched a few too many episodes of Homeland. Now into season dos. If you haven't watched it, the story line and characters are becoming more UNbelievable with each episode. And the all the wives & female CIA agent ALL smokin hot. That's the way it is isn't it ? If Brady's wife was fat & ugly, no one would be watching after season one. So hats off to central casting for selecting cast member characters.

Early this morning I will call & inform a Patron that two (2) orders are complete. Both paid in advance so this is a MUST DO. Actually OVERdue.

Tracking down a hummingbird pattern. At the Tupps sale & show Saturday I took an order for a ruby throated Hb. Preferably by Christmas as a gift to the wife (his) but 22 January for anniversary gift would also work. I think I know how the elves that work for Santa feel. Starting to anyway. It doesn’t seem like Christmas unless I am working to get something out.

The beach scene is coming along well. I WILL spend some time there today.

And that’s a Rapp.

For in-flight entertainment today, Vince Flynn’s Kill Shot and a second audio-book to follow. For the uninformed as I was before good neighbor Holly brought it up, Mitch Rapp is the recurring main character in Flynn’s thrillers.

It is a GREAT DAY to paint. Not too cold, warm actually. Opened the window last night and coupled with the clean sheets, A great sleep was enjoyed. MUST CALL Mom.

Overcast this morning which is superb. Strong sunlight yesterday cast slow moving shadows over the beach scene which made for an annoying experience but only briefly before moving on to the smaller projects that I DID FINISH.

So, that all said, going forth & forward fast getting after it now with vim & vigor.

A shorty every now & then keeps things moving along rather well don’t you think ?
