The sun is actually out today. The air is cool, and there's a lite breeze blowing the smells of Spring by. Being up at the crack of dawn you hear things that would normally not be audible from all the hustle and bustle of people and cars. The sounds of the leaves rubbing up against each other as the wind blows, the sound of birds, and squirrels in the tree branches-you hear the City as it is when it sleeps..and starts to wake. This is one of the days that makes us forget about the Winter and believe that Summer may actually be here...finally!!
I had to figure out where a random sound in my front left tire well was coming from and was sitting at Tires Plus in uptown to to do it. It seems that they might have the best idea on where as they just put on my new tires last week. Turns out is a minor repair that can wait a season unless it gets super humid in Cali, but I doubt it! LOL.
The Jeep is almost road ready. I guess it's always road ready, but I'm packing it with all the essentials that I need cause I'm playing for keeps, again, and I might not make it back. I've been everywhere with my ride, Legend, from the East coast to the West and from the North lands to the Gulf. It has taken me into and out of snow storms in the mountains, through deserts, cities, and the country sides. Whatever the weather, extreme heat or petrifying cold, my jeep has been there waiting to take me onto my next endeavor...the next stage of my life. LOL. I'm gonna send the Chrysler corporation the story of my Jeep in my life. Hell, with 244,000 miles on it, ya never know, they might send me a new one. Hahaha.
And, if you happen to be wondering, "Yes," I'm thinking of the gal. Why wouldn't I be!? She's gonna be here tomorrow. I know because I bought her the ticket to be here for reasons past. And I also know, like the days I would come into town, I didn't have enough time to sit and just relax because everyone wants your time, everywhere, and without regard to the fact you only have a few days. I always said to her, "They can fly out and see you if they really want to see you, and not just when it's convenient for them." Which means they will or you're gonna be forking out the money to come back into town to see them. Just sayin. Miss You by the Rollin Stones.
I guess. I used to come into town to see people that wanted to see me and do things that I actually like doing here like the State Fair, Canoeing down the St. Croix on Memorial Day weekend, Al's Breakfast in Dinky town, go to my favorite marshal out gym, run the lakes, camping in Interstate Park, and watching the leaves turn color in the Fall. Sure, I would even fly home to see the snow...for a few days, but then be really happy to get back on the plane to fly West. In between all of that I would remember all the things that had lead up to that very moment in time, sometimes taking a deep breath and getting somewhat emotional, and find the peace in it knowing that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. "All things are one, and written by the same hand." Don't get me wrong. I love the HOME LAND; she has always been good to me and why I always came back to her in my years of traveling the world; it is why I will come back to her in the time that follows...to remember, to cherish, and keep on keeping on. Even now. I guess it's time to get my 'lethargic ass' around the lake. Hahaha.
