I'll Do It Tomorrow

I think sometimes it’s best to put doing somethings off until we have taken the right amount of time to think about what we want to do more thoroughly. Am I lazy? I don’t think so. How many times have we bought something and later wished we hadn’t? How many times have we started a project without thinking about its real cost, only to have serious regrets later? Our answer to these questions is? Most likely, plenty of times! For example, I can get excited about a new accessory for one of my drones and jump on Amazon to order it! It comes next day in the mail (Amazon spoils me like this). However, what I ordered turns out not to be suitable for my particular drone. It happens! I was so excited to buy it I didn’t read the fine print. I send it back!

Instructions! Most of us men don’t read them. We already know the thing has screws and widgets! We know a lot about screws and widgets! How hard could it be to throw this thing together? A piece a cake! Wrong, and then the little wifey stops by, looks at the directions, and points out that part #3 is supposed to fit with #7. I hate when this happens! If only I hadn’t been in such a hurry.

Okay, enough of that! All I am saying is, guys and dolls, we just need to slow down and give ourselves some time to think about what we are so excited about doing. If it’s worth doing , it’s worth taking our time to think it through.

Bipolar Express

What is Bipolar Express ? Why did I choose to title this message "Bipolar Express?" For those that have symptoms of, or who are already suffering from the disorder known as; being bipolar -- having one's doctor accurately diagnose this medical condition as soon as possible is very important! I want to help everyone who might be suffering from the extreme highs and lows of these mood swings by providing some direction to reliable resources. Not everyone knows whether they have symptoms of bipolar, or what they should do about them. Hopefully, my information will help someone. 1. Feeling sad, empty or hopeless most of the day. every day can be a symptom of bipolar. 2. Trouble sleeping at night and staying awake all day can be a symptom. 3. Often feeling worthless or guilty all the time is not normal, may be a symptom of bipolar. 4. Work, family and/or social life is suffering. 5. At times, feeling very euphoric, revved up, and/or irritable. Dopamine: Science has shown th...

Texas' Big Bend Country

How can I describe this snapshot of our Texas-Mexico border, taken on a trip we made to our Texas Big Bend country, other than spectacular ! We were driving Texas' state road 170 heading to Presidio from Terlingua. We were a little spooked since we were the only vehicle on the road. Along this section of the road, we didn't pass any other cars or trucks. I must say, this desolate part of Texas is just as rugged as it is beautiful! Every curvy turn of this lonely highway presented yet another picture postcard panorama. It would be hard to believe anyone would risk their life crossing such treacherous terrain, but I imagine some have, at one time or another. In the summer, temperatures go well into the hundreds and the dangers of heat exhaustion and death are very real! Diamond-back rattle snakes and scorpions happily make this desert their home -- we never saw any though. We held our breath while traveling on this deserted, stretch of road, not wanting to think of having any ...

Once We are Retired

Most of our adult lives our commitments consume our time. We don't dislike having to be busy and responsible for others. It's what we do! As we age our obligations and priorities change - that's not always a bad thing! If we live long enough it happens! Once retired, our retirement frees up our personal time, so we can pretty much can do whatever we want. If we have a choice, we can fritter our time away doing nothing , or we can do something ! My interests are all over the place -- seldom am I ever bored. Cartooning, creating caricatures for tourists at popular resorts here in the states and abroad, in the past, and music appreciation, church involvement, sailing, photography, creative writing, cooking and flying my drones, as well as, fooling around with my tractor on our property have been my occupation since retiring in my late fifties. In the days and weeks to come, I want to slow down on my writing to spend more of my time editing and producing my videos for my YouT...
