Plowing snow. Tending chickens, runs and beehives. Cutting up fallen trees. We live in the forest and everything that matters wants our attention right now. Your choice is a wise one.

C'mon over. I have a spare shovel. (4" in the last 3 hours. Forecast says about a foot by morning).

90 degrees down here.

You c'mon on down! Florida might as well be a country unto it's own.

Lots of work but it’s all good.

I'm jealous. --- I probably won't be come about January. 😂

I'm busy packing (and reading substack in between) and anxiously waiting to move to Montana from Oregon! Not before I vote for Christine Drazan (R) for governor of Oregon though!

Enjoy the space. French composer Claude Debussy said, “Music is the space between the notes.”

Similarly, Eric Clapton said, "a good musician knows when to lay out."

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Or if you're feeling frisky; "it's in the way that you use it"......gulp

In music, silence is more important than sound.

Miles Davis

Doggie Dad's avatar

Yes. Often in life, too.

Did you ever notice that rock n roll has no space between the notes?

It's pouring rain outside. How's about I play my guitar and pet my cat.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Are you more allergic to stupid or the rain?!

The Ungovernable's avatar

At least rain serves a purpose.

Bandit's avatar

At least you're getting rain. 😒

Enjoy the fresh air and mentally prepare for the disgusting nothing-but-hot air that’s going to be coming from the talking heads and meat-puppets next week(s).

Spent the day running the tractor over mountains of leaves. Good work. My son released a new song this week. Thanks for the opportunity to share it.

LOL.

Yeah if you gave them a can of paint, and told them it was wet, they'd have to touch it to make sure.

He said something like that.

Your plan to get back to Nature sounds like a good way to keep all this manmade bullshittery in perspective. Of course, given that our elites seem hell bent on dismantling civilization in the name of "green energy" (so-called because of the color of the money flowing into the wallets of the climate-change con-artists) and DEI mandates, we may see Mother Nature crashing in upon us soon, reminding us why our forebears constructed these institutions and technologies in the first place.

Do some dancing while you're at it brother!! I will as well! We'll be here when you return...

Mark Bisone's avatar

I feel you, brother. I'm gonna go contemplate a blade of grass, or one hand clapping, or some shit like that. See you on the other side.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Well Chris have fun!

If you see a little brush fire out there in the wide open, remember it's just like a little stupid; you have to stomp it out.

AndyinBC's avatar

"a little stupid" is wishful thinking. Stupid, as someone once observed, goes clear to the bone.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Down in the marrow into the cells.

These people VOTE Andy!

AndyinBC's avatar

Which probably explains all of the rocket surgeons and brain scientists in congress.

Phil's avatar

@chris I am doing the same. enjoying the wonderful end of summer weather in the bay area prob a few days to maui to rejuvenate and renew and perhaps reflect on both brandon’s speech and that hairhead rant on jesse waters the other day, and the unbearable lightness of being governed by beotians .....

Garret Slaugenhoup's avatar

Yes !!! Take your hands off the electrodes for a bit Mr. Bray !!! Blessings to your R&R

Beezy Steder's avatar

That’s a good call. I think I’ll do the same after watching a clip this morning where some asshat with mold in his brain ranted on msnbc that conservatives want to steal and kill kids off the streets.

Good Advice - especially those beverages made from grain!

Insanity overload - like I've never seen before!
