Counting blessings

Yesterday morning was spent researching how to mount a DVD ISO. Then I repaired my push mower, well sorta'. It still does not want to run properly, but it chugged along and the front yard looks much better. Most of the yard is mowed and I do have a replacement belt for the one that broke yesterday on the yardbug. My son-in-law says my yard cutting looks like an elephant riding a turtle. ROFLMAO! Hey, the little devil may only cut 28 inches at a time, but that 9HP motor hums as it pushes my fatbutt around. Let me have my MP3 player and mowing the lawn is almost therapy. Good Lord knows I need it.

No snakes, possums or Lufwaffe crows have been harmed while working in the yard. If that snake is not poisonous it may survive. Besides, it may be in cahoots with Arnold, opossumus germanicus austriabodicus. The owl is back. I heard hoots during the last two nights since it's been cool enough to sleep with the windows open. His return may have prompted the crows into deep cover. I understand those two species of birds don't get along. While owls are nocturnal, crows stay up all the time seeing how many people and animals they can piss off. Ahhh days and nights at the beach house. The grill is in constant use, there's always music playing, friendly people stop by, got the best neighbors in the world and there is treasure in the local flora and fauna. Thank you Lord!

Celebrate Father's Day. Cherish those alive and remember the ones that have crossed the bar and met their Pilot face to face. Dad, I know you are out there. I love you and think of you every day with fond memories.
