DEAD OR ALIVE 

Youthquake 1985

CYCLING:

Mile upon miles of thinking, processing equations, and shedding my anger about this current human race. 

My rides have been decent but my frustrations have been overboard. Can you believe how disappointing humans have become??? 

It doesn't matter who it is, this me me me BullSh*T sucks. This whole fumbling and floundering around has rubbed me the wrong way. 

The, I am so busy, oh wait, I can now attitude totally blows. The, I need, do you have, me me me, mentality is so gross.

Why are humans incapable of taking ownership? Is it really that difficult to pick up the phone and clear the air with a 5 minute conversation? Integrity has become elusive as the powerfully colorful yellow fin tuna running deep in the Pacific cold waters. Reliability, Forget About It 

And why do I follow through? Why do I give a Sh*t? Why don't I just half A$$ the job? I don't I demand more money? Why don't I carry a piss poor attitude? Why don't I project terrible customer service skills?

Why??? Because it is NOT in my DNA. It just isn't. Nothing better than laying my sleepy head on the cooler side of the pillow knowing that I followed through, did the best job I could, owned up to my imperfections, and realizing I simply care. 

I appreciate Good Humans. I value friendships. I have always wanted the best for others. I relish hearing successful stories shared by my fellow human. Creative humans enable me to thrive. Without knowing it, I love to inspire others. Pleasantries Go Along Way 

ORTHO:

A new client came in with an ankle issue and I am so glad that they did. The communication between their Calcaneus, Talus, and Cuboid were all out of whack. I even mentioned if they were experiencing any knee discomfort as their Tibia had a twist to it. 

Their eyes lit up and they mentioned how tired their legs feel these days. It was such a pleasure releasing their 7 ankle bones while monitoring their pelvis rotate superiorly. PAIN FREE

Two of my old neuromuscular massage clients returned and thats always a joy for me. Bit painful for them but a treat for me. Neuro work is mostly elbows and lower leg work on my end. Much easier form of body work for me and all I do for applying more pressure is bend my knees. The results are always impressive and I missed working on those two characters. They are both high end athletes and are very in tune with their nervous systems. 

COLORADO RIVER:

These town floats have been a gem. I throughly enjoy checking out and floating along in the currents of higher water levels. 

A lunch break above and eddy out below. Always a bonus floating with others and quite nice to share creative adventures with like minded folks. 

The views along the Colorado River banks never disappoint. An incredible amount of birds in flight and Bambi is always near by. Below is a photo of my Niece and good old Dick Butkus floating along. Such A Good Boy

We were so lucky this past week as the monsoonal patterns have taken shape. Just as Mr Sun begins to burn your skin, Mother Nature rolls in. Only rains for about 3 to 5 minutes at most but the cloud cover is beyond dreamy. Life Is Good 

PART TIME:

Dogs are such a crack up. Cats are way cool as well but dogs have that ability to capture your heart with those eyebrows of theirs. So unconditional they are. Love It 

June and July are and was packed with pet sitting jobs. This guy below is about a hundred and fifty pounds and loves his homemade ice cream cups. He has a delightful human and was a pleasure to be around. 

These two below melted my heart. A female Akita and 100 percent Akita. And her baby brother the brown chocolate lab. Incredibly smart lab and I couldn't get enough of these two. Dogs, They Just Wake Up Happy

BIG WEEK:

This work week will be rather massive on hours as there is so much on the docket already. Back at another house and dog sitting gig starting Monday, family gathers throughout the week, office appointments, and traveling on the rails are some of the bullet points on my outline. 

My buddy Mr Cliff from AZ arrived to attend a retirement party. We enjoyed catching up over a few crisp oats wheat and barley on tap. Now that I think about it, consumed a few brews in June. Him and I couldn't believe that half the years is in the history book and we have all kinds of Summer plans as well. He is just as active as I am and he has me by a decade. Cliff, Damn Solid Brother 

Hosting a radio show this Thursday and I have been jonesing to get back on air again. Looking forward to offering up a few tasty deep cuts and simple embrace the moment. I have already compiled about 6 hours worthy of dynamite tunes. Unfortunately, it's a 2 and a half hour time slot. YIKES

I am also toying around with a major purchase coming down the pipe and I can't wait to share it with all of you. Way excited but don't want to jinx the situation by putting the cart in front of the horse. Fingers Crossed

GOALS:

1. Surpass The 500 mile / 800km in July
2. Continue To Be The Better Person
3. Seek The Best Possible Outcome
4. Cherish Amtrak
5. Lead With My Heart
6. Hydrate Between Adult Beverages 
7. Swim In The AM 
8. Resinate With A Drummer
9. Catch A Movie At Glade Park

I Leave You With This Time Lapse Of Mine, And Yes, There Is A Rainbow At The 31 Second Mark. Thanx For Watching

 

Be Well Out There And Stay Hydrated,

Cheers
