Wife went shopping for chew things for shine, she stopped at Sketchers and bought me a pair of slip ons, said she was tired of my old crocs, I like them. Next time I go to Texarkana I'm going to check out some of the Sketcher step-ins. Some mornings my back keeps me from being able to lace my sneakers. Never going to get rid of my Crocs though. π I can attest that Skechers are handy for those days.

I'm at the ancestral manse, visiting the folks. Or, I'll be visiting with them tomorrow, anyway, once we're all up.

Reminds me of when I was in college, sleeping in those dorm beds. Some days I would wake up with both arms completely asleep. All I could do was lay there and flop like a fish.

If I fall and trying to get to someplace to strategically get up, flopping like a fish is my best move.

I don't know about Sketchers slip ins because I like Merrel clogs or mules like a jungle moccasin but open back. Moving slow this morning waiting for the nicotine and caffeine to kick in. I have red bananas just out of reach waiting for the better half to put down my new office chair bamboo matt. Note to self the cheapest office chair matt on Amazon was not a good purchase leaving me trapped in one spot. A man needs to be free to roll like Born Free the corner office updated version.

A pleasant 75 degree mountain day. Just got back from a 5 mile walk. Sitting on the deck at the rental, drinking coffee, watching sailboats, reading and getting ready to select a pipe.

Near Grand Lake, Colorado. Looking over Shadow Mountain Lake. Have you ever been to Twin Lakes Co.? (It is between Buena Vista and Leadville) My uncle that grew up near Salida (lives in Cotopaxi) on the Arkansas says that on a moment's notice he will grab his fishing pole and head out... I guess it is near the headwaters of the Arkansas.
He says that several people he has met up there said that it is their ultimate place to decompress and get away from it all.

Earlier today, picked some more tomatoes (mostly Roma), Japanese eggplant, cucumbers (the vines appear to be tiring out). Processed a couple dozen Romas into a puree for the freezer). I made about 5 cups of pesto with the latest cuttings from the basil plants.

After playing email tag, I signed up a new banjo student last Thursday. It looks like work is picking up after all that COVID business a few years ago. It surprises me how long recovery has taken. Before the pandemic I had at one point, ten students. This recent one makes five. I like my job! Banjo ha! you should trying ukulele. Zarnicky president of After Dinner Ukulele Society. Banjo good for bluegrass. Zarnicky not playing bluegrass but I smoking it once. I don't play bluegrass well enough to really teach it. For some reason or another, the clawhammer style seemed to be in more demand. That pretty much got me where I wanted to go.
