Fatty I miss you...

 


.....and hence my problem. My youngest son, Caleb has moved out, the last child at home. So now for the first time I am ''childless" in 31 years. Including the rough times of staying married to a using alcoholic until it could no longer work anymore, sole custody of teen boys as a single parent. An extremely unique and brilliant daughter. My kiddies have always been here. .  Oh I digress, well when Caleb moved out I started some major remodeling projects, I have been putting off forever. Knocking out walls, wiring, insulation, and so on. Now it has become all consuming of all my spare time.


With a more then a full time job and now this sucking the remainder hours of the day out of me I have not been on my bike like I need to be. I miss her. I just want to get this project done, and I will. It is cutting into my riding time way too much.



Me and the kiddies back in the day..

Love the James Bond pic but wondering, what the heck are you doing to that house of yours, brother of mine? Interesting that when the kiddos leave you decide to invest your time into the knocking down of walls, etc; I thought nothing could tear you away from the trail.

That construction picture depresses me, Riding a bike is definitely better. Have a good one Dave.

Enjoy the empty nest. With a 9 and 13 year old currently keeping us busy - we have a long way to go.

For home projects - I usually put off, start slow, then taper off...
