After the triumphant return from an excursion into the red dirt country, and after a restful, thankful Sunday, it is admin day at the shack between the swamp and the sea. I hate admin days! Book keeping, house cleaning and laundry. Feeling like Uncle Charley from "My Three Sons" again. The young adult male left in charge of the outpost, didn't let anything bad happen while I was out, but on the other hand didn't do any preventive maintenance or cleaning either. Welcome back Captain.
It is now noon, and I am finally ready to cut the grass, hopefully before an afternoon squall, and did I mention a tropical storm formation possible in the Atlantic, which may be headed our way. We are not even into the dog days yet! Anyway after a morning of paying bills and an hour and a half of looking for lost stamps, I am ready for some outdoor activity, that does not require a lot of thought. Some days being the Captain of this enterprise is not all that it is cracked up to be, however I think I'll keep the job, and thankful to have it.
Just read the beginning of the 103rd Psalm, and feeling very renewed and lucky to be me! Now off to get that grass cut.
Old Captain Sends.
