Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just to be clear I am a diehard Chevy man, but Henry managed to say some good words.<\/p>\n

\nMorning chores are done except pour canned milk into coffee. Ya I know that must be a sin of some sort. I am sure it would have been added to the stone tablets was there was any room left. I have powdered whole milk at the post office I just haven’t been there yet. Today is just about getting ready.

\nI went to town to get cat food for the cats, and a chicken Blt for me I drove home. I am tired out just one hour of driving today, tomorrow I need to do four hours of driving, plus 2 two hours of shopping and another few hours to flush my internals with radioactive chalk, so they can irradiate my body even more. That will be fun. Oh yea I forgot as always there was a new outbreak of COVID-19 there Friday at the hospital.<\/p>\n

I am laying on my back deck. Yes, the one I am building. Enjoying the sun.<\/p>\n

Then I heard it, the sounds that means the end of summer. Sandhill cranes above me. On their way south to Texas so the redneck Trump supporters can shoot them for fun.<\/p>\n

I remember one year there so many above me that the noise was deafening. I was so amazed at the display I was just standing there with my mouth wide open. The pictures below were used without permission. If you are the owner and would like me to remove them no problem.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After pondering that for a moment, I thought ten thousand birds with a four-foot wingspan flying directly overhead. I quickly closed my mouth and reached for a hat.
\nEvery year they circle right over my house. It is one of their meeting places.<\/p>\n
