The 21st of July-Friday

The power nap I was hoping for last night happened a little later than I wanted and lasted about 2 hours.  I arrived home a little before dawn, about an hour before I originally had wanted to get up, then went back to sleep for a few hours.  I only had one job to do today and that job would take about 1.5-2 hours.  The thing is, the job was almost 4 hours away.  I did not try to make my step count today, tomorrow I will try for some extra.  

While driving I did a bit of daydreaming about what I might want to do after the hike for work.  For years I have thought off and on about having like a coffee shop - but no coffee, yuck - that has games, books and puzzles and such for people to come in and use, with food.  I can't quite figure how to make it profitable.  I don't need to be rich, but food and a roof over my head is a good thing.  Inevitably somewhere in the thoughts of this establishment I think of how tied down it would make me and decide that it isn't a good idea.  Maybe after I am in the woods for 6 months I will be okay that?   

Other things that occupied my time were having conversations with my kids-hands free is great, and I finished listening to an audio book, Nano, by Robin Cook.  Here is a review of the book.  It turns out that the main characters of Nano were in one of his previous books, Death Benefit.  I sort of figured that out a little bit into the book.  It seemed well enough as a stand alone--until the end, but having not read the previous book, who knows?  Now I have another book to find and listen to.  Well, 2 books, the one before and the one that came out next.  Having been disappointed by accidentally getting books that are parts of series in the past, I usually research to avoid this problem.  I got this as a loan from a friend and I don't think he realized it when he gave it to me.

Pictures from the car... 

Driving north on the highway to my work location I spot southbound a boot.   There was no time, or safe way at that point to grab my phone for a picture. Some research shows that it came from LL Bean.  Pretty cool publicity and my happy for today.

 

So I fell asleep writing this again and finished it up in the morning.  I write better when awake (ya think?) and will endeavor to do so more often.  

Peace.
