Sabbath Day Ramblings March 7, 2021

[Ole Joe Clark]

Good Morning ya'll, it's Sunday again. The days, weeks and years are flying by. It's been a long time since 1943, when I came into this world. Every time I stop to catch my breath I notice another year or two has slipped up on me.

Don't laugh, some of you were born in the 1st half of the LAST CENTURY also. Time flies when you are having fun, but I've noticed that having fun these days has a different meaning than it did 50 years ago. Most of the time it just means getting back home safely from a Doctor's appointment, grocery buying, or some such necessary chore. The other day while going to visit a Doctor I kept noticing a car swerving and speeding up and slowing down, then I saw the guy texting and driving. I'd had a bait of the unsafe nonsense and leaned heavily on the car horn. He suddenly stopped weaving and speeded up and away, at least he wasn't using two lanes.

We got the first of the two virus shots this week. My shoulder is about well and I can't use that as an excuse for my lousy guitar picking any more. Already have an appointment for shot #2 in a month.

Speaking of guitar pickin', we had a great jam last Tuesday night. I just about had to run the other guys off. Sometimes things just click and it was one of those times. We even worked on "Sweet Georgia Brown," a good jamming tune. I love traditional bluegrass, but I also like tunes that are more than 3 chords and a cloud of dust.

Supposed to be beautiful all this next week and I really need to finish up the Winter yard work. The robins are taking over the place and I love to see them. The daffodils' are blooming too, and it's almost time to get those tomato seed in a pot.

Have a great and safe week, gotta get dressed for Church in a few minutes.

Ya'll have a great week. Hug your loved ones and tell them you really do love them.

Have a blessed Sabbath,

Leon

Thanks again Leon: I look forward to hearing from you every Sunday morning! You always start my week with a smile.

Leon,

A well known guitar player from Jacksonville, Keith Clay died from COVID this week. He was a guitar mentor for my oldest son and coached him along since high school (1995). He was in excellent health and around 65 years old. Sad news.

We had a great walk this beautiful morning. I'm used to exercising Quigley on the seventy-acres behind the house. However, yesterday my wife wanted to go walk a new walking trail in town. It is very attractive but all concrete.

This morning, I woke-up with terrible foot/ankle/leg aches. I can't take the concrete anymore after forty-years pounding the pavement. Lesson learned! Give me the soft ground!

We made it to the range this week with the new bipod on the old Anchutz. This rifle needs match grade ammo. It's all fun though!

Y'all have a blessed week and keep the Faith!

That's for sure. My uncle and I comment about how fast each week goes by. I've sometimes said life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end the faster it goes.

I look at each day as a blessing. Each morning the first thing I do is look out at the bird feeder and see how many birds have come around. Sometimes I get squirrels who scoop up seeds that have fallen to the ground. My uncle and I had our morning texts so my aunt, uncle and I all know we're OK for another day.

I'm finding that in some ways I'm getting along better. Six months ago I needed my cane to be able to go from a small parking lot into a store because of my bad knee. But I've been trying to get as many steps in each day as reasonably possible and now I only need to use my cane for when I'm going to be walking some kind of distance. No, I'm not making the 10,000 steps a day that some people can do but apparently doing a third of that seemed to help me.

Everybody stay warm and enjoy the day.

Well Leon and I are the same age it seems so I guess that is one reason I relate to most of his Sabbath day posts.

anyway I think the weather is supposed to be about the same here as it is in the Heart of Dixie next week and, I am looking forward to it. I'm tired of winter. I guess next Sat. night starts if off since we set the clocks ahead i.e. lose an hours sleep.

Anyway hope everyone has a blessed and safe and healthy week.
