YHC has grown wise in his 41 years. Rather than being convinced by the latest weather headlines, decided to rely on the tried and true 100% accurate weather rock.
at a little after 5:00, the ol’ weather rock was only wet and not stiff. (Insert TWSS joke here)
Forecast: soggy pain
5:30 with no PAX in sight as the clock flips over on the warm dash of Shorty’s truck cabin. Sadness begins to creep in as YHC reaches to place my truck in drive… Suddenly headlights flood the parking lot entrance. It’s a Subaru.
we are go for mission. Welcome Cuz.
Shortly after, PAX #2 enters scene. Welcome Herniator.
Warm it up as Cuz and I discuss the weather rock and the toughness that we obviously share.

From my favorite book;
“I will live this day as if it is my last. …I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, Yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?”
I will live this day as if it is my last. This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday’s sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today’s hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be?”

Recap;
Our time on this globe is short.
like taking a flight on a plane; The cabin is quiet sometimes and it doesn’t seem like much is happening. However, we are being shot through the sky at 500 mph and before we know it, we have reached our destination.
It’s that way with life. The years fly by and we wonder where the time went. Sooner or later we will “arrive”.
You have this day.
Don’t waste it.
Get a weather rock and stop listening to magicians.
Walk by faith, not by sight.
Know your mission. Know what’s important.
Keep moving forward.
