Phase 1 of garage conversion refresh/remodel done. Shelves hung.

Ran 7 miles. Had Valentine’s lunch with my wife and our boys. Cleaned gutters. Reattached a bit of flashing that blew off in a storm to the steepest part of our roof pitch. Did some cleaning away on the garage conversion we’re remodeling. Having a Shiner now.

Got new phone and when I signed into iCloud it dumped some old pics into my photos. My son’s first ATV ride….

It's Friday morning. You could order my book (ebook or paperback) and have it read by the end of the weekend. Wouldn't that be something?

What used to be my home has changed to just a place to stay
A crumbling last resort when day is through
Sometimes between sundown and dawn somehow I find my way
To this Home Motel on Lost Love Avenue

Out of bed and back at it. Listening to Willie to get trough it. Spin #1:

Fever, chills, body aches. Home sick in bed. Blegh.

She is to me like the breeze
That blows up from the sea
Now if she is like the breeze
That blows from Corpus Christi
Then I must be like the trees
'Cause Caroline blows through me

You might call it sad confusion
You might even call it off
But once you called me more than just your friend
Now there's more to what I'm thinkin'
Than the Mississippi Line
And Tennessee's not the state I'm in

My current WIP—ASA OKLAHOMA (SQUATTER)—is well in hand, heading toward a finish. But I keep being nagged by this Mike Disfarmer script I work on, on and off. But how can a capture a fraction of the depth of his photos?

Y'all should reward yourself and obtain and read (and reread) COUNT THE DUST by @vanwinkle.bsky.social.

A terrific tale - dust and all!

Update: a lot of South Carolina snow for these parts.

Actual South Carolina snow (not just ice that looks like snow).

My book's not really this small. But it's a pretty quick read. Some even say it's a good read. Get yours: a.co/d/7N7JvSJ
