Here’s a couple with a nose ring and a great dog who are traveling around South America.

Dang them.

No….bless them.

That’s a good thing to be doing.

Put that on my bucket list.

But….wait….A BUCKET LIST IS SOMETHING THAT YOU TICK OFF WHEN YOU’RE DYING, RIGHT?!

I need to start working on some kind of bucket list.

I don’t know when it’s going to happen….but….it’s going to happen someday.

I mean, both making a bucket list….and….the other thing.

Time is wasting.

I spent the evening under two of our cars yesterday….and could have been wrenching on more of them.

Greasy….tired….(TIRED!!)…wrenching….

That isn’t an item on my bucket list.

You don’t put “practical” things on a bucket list.

But….you do the things you have to do NOW so that later….you can do the things you want to do.

Denzel Washington said that.

I’d like to sit at a restaurant with my family and our Great Pyrenees….eating a meal at a foreign altitude/latitude….enjoying life….blowing out the candles on every cake.

I don’t think that Appa would be as well-mannered as Occy, though.

I’d like to fix the cars in a way that would let me take a break from….fixing the cars.

I’d like to recognize that I have a hand in steering the direction that our lives take….both good and bad.

What’s a good shore to point towards?

Which way is the wind blowing?

Is it easier with the wind at our backs?

I’ll bet that it is.

The easy choice….could be easy…with the wind on my side.

Blow on, wind.
