Morning.    

I am going to try to finish the Sunday paper today!  I am planning a relaxing day.  We'll see how long that lasts.

Enjoy Santa Cruz Ms I.  I will be there on Saturday!  I miss highway 17.  [moto]

Thanks Mary!  I hope we will get a chance to meet up when you are in town.

I'm taking highway 1, not 17 though, less crazy drivers.

Should be sufficient...

I had all I could handle keeping up with a stock R1 with my 996.

He was gone on the straights.

To much power for me to ride in anger, that`s why I let the youngster race it.

i bet that goes fast...

It does, but never on the road.

I am outta here

My sister left her husband.  She left me voice mail yesterday saying that she had packed her clothes, got the dog, and moved out!  Dale, the husband, moved his elderly sick (stroke) father into their house.  I guess the constant care was too much for Jayne.  She has complained a lot over the years, but I never thought she would do it.  I'm already sending $100 a month to our oldest sister, looking into treatment for the other, and now this.  I am not the oldest, just 3 of 4, but I have ended up being the responsible one.  Caring sucks.

I'm gonna drink more  and eat some

There comes a point when they need to be responsible for themselves.

Like when it takes a toll on you.

just sayin'

Sorry to hear about the situation with your sisters, mary.  

Caring does suck, but not caring sucks even more.  

I had a hard time dealing with my sister giving my nephew into state custody.  It was difficult to be 400 miles away and not be a position to be able to help.  


Enjoy your   and the Sunday NYT.

I realize that...

but the alternative is completely illogical and unhealthy.

Very true. 

I'm just venting.  My sister Jayne will be able to take care of herself.  She is a full time hay farmer and has a good support system of friends.

The other two have issues.  Well, we all have issues, but theirs are worse. Jackie, oldest, just needs a little help right now.  She has not asked for it, I just do it.  Jenny, the crack head, is trying to clean up her act.  It's hard for her due to the bouncing around we did as kids.  Foster care was not good for her and she dropped out of life at an early age.  Her knowing now where the 3 sisters are has done a lot to get her motivated.  I'll take the drama and toll any day over the years I spent not knowing where they were.  Having sisters, even make the beast with two backsed up ones, is better than not having them at all.

That is a very positive attitude to have. There are so many broken families, so many bitter feelings to be found out there. Remembering that our time with the people in our lives is not guaranteed is important. I think humanity as a whole would be in much better shape if we all put a little more energy into taking care of each other, drama or not.
