Random Thoughs

This is how it always starts for me: I have a regular day filled with regular events and my mind just wanders. I think, I really should write in my blog daily, but for today let's just dive back in with posting more often.

I start by just typing, like right now. No real direction, no plot in my mind other than wanting to get the words down rather than getting the words correct (the take away from my first eBook by Neil Peart - Traveling Music).

I just purchased my second eBook, Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir. Thus far I have quite enjoyed reading this autobiography of Dave Mustaine, the lead guitarist and singer from Megadeth. I read a few reviews on the book prior to buying it and was sold when I read one from a mother who was not a metal fan but said the book was great. Her description of the book wasn't "great", but that is the rough translation. I'm about a third of the way through the book and it is a page turner, tough for me to put down the Mac at night.

My wife makes the best meat sauce. That is a fact. And it's also what I'm consuming between sentences. I also have a spoiled cat on my lap as I type these words. The cat in my lap while I eat is common, especially if I happen to be wearing a black shirt. Then it is a one to one ration of cat and black shirt.

I noticed on the way to work that the motorcycle now has 17k miles. What this means? I have to change the oil and get service in about 3k and that is about it. I rode this morning because the weather on my mac desktop shows a sun icon with showers and it wasn't yet raining. It rained most of the work day and stopped before I left work for the gym, and didn't even rain on my way home from the gym. Probably have everything to do with me traveling with my big yellow rain suit, it's a one-piece, sexy!

This past Sunday "we" installed a new ceiling fan in the bedroom to replace the former fan that would rock violently at speed causing anxiety while trying to go to sleep, not a good combination. I used the term "we" because I truly did have help with this project and I wasn't the one that went into the hot ceiling to adjust the rigging. The fan is 70" in diameter, six speeds, and has a light that is instant on (twisty CFL bulbs!).

The last random thought on my mind is - where are the yellow ducklings? There are often ducks on the water just off of the backyard, and it's Easter season... So, where are the ducklings trailing behind the mother duck? This is the first time in my life that I've lived on the water and I'm really looking forward to seeing this, soon I hope.
