So here I am back to reality… I mowed acres of land on the farm yesterday and have been sneezing my @$$ off ever since. The tractor motor had to be torn down, it has a blown head gasket. So while it’s all apart I might as well clean up all the other motor parts (radiator, oil cooler, etc…) before putting it back together. Since we don’t use the front pasture we pulled the electric wire and we are going to till as much as we can, right up to the house (less mowing)
The sailboat is all washed up and tucked away in her slip and all our gear removed. I now know why they call if foul weather gear, Yikes they needed washing.
So here I am, I have a customer that I have to go attend to he has been waiting patiently since we left.
As I look out the window it all seems as though the trip was a dream – nothing has changed since we left and came back. Reality. Is it really all it’s cracked up to be? Work, Kid drama, Accountant, licensing renewal, insurance premiums… OMG I liked being a floater, a transient as they would call us as we would sail in.
Is that a bad thing? No worries other than don’t crash into the dock! I am beginning to think I enjoyed the moments of sheer terror – it’s not as bad as dealing with the IRS!!!
Can you hear that??? (if you can’t please pick up the nearest sea shell) It is the sound of the sea beckoning me to come back… Don’t leave me it says – Flipper misses you 🙂
So much to do here in reality land and it all seems as thought there is not enough time for it all. Why, I am not sure but I can say my first thought this week for Top Sites Tuesday is to get it all done and finished. My second thought is “RUN LIKE HELL”
Have a great Tuesday

Sounds like you had a lot of fun sailing, you can have fun where you are too. All you have to do to have fun is create it!

I think there is something to be said for just picking up stakes and living the life that makes you happy. But, yes, reality gets in the way.
It is just so difficult to find balance in our world today. Everyone is needing something from us daily,…banks, insurance, homes, autos, oh, and I don’t even want to think of the IRS.. That is something that just sucks the joy out of person at least as long as it takes to get through filing it.
clicks to you
Now you know what Jimmy Buffett is always singing about:
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You’ve seen it all, you’ve seen it all
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of ’em dream, most of ’em dream
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothin’ to plunder
I’m an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late …

That was awesome Bud 🙂
