 Man ... been a few years since we've done this.  I usually push back because of well.... my schedule.  Got a Vaca' planned.  Few Parties attending over that month.  You name it.  But we have done it several times over the years and have to admit; I love the way I feel come February.  So much to the point one questions their Sanity as to why they partake in the first place, sometimes?  LMAO.  On a positive note, I don't put them back like I used to in my old military days.  Hell since then then, I've gotten to appreciate good Bourbons, Scotches and even Tequilas, but don't partake of them the last few years like I used to just a few years ago.  In any case, few days from now we jump in the fray.  Got to admit, has a lot of side benefits.  Biggest one is .... weight loss.  So, I'm going to jumpstart the New Year with a lil of that as well kicking up the gym time, etc.   Few more days we kick it off.. Dry Janu...

Such a simple concept, yet...   escapes many.  Too many.     If I'm headed to an event, meeting, dinner, almost anything ...  and running late I send a message of sorts or make a call, to let folks know.  Sometimes, no matter what, I'll shoot a quick text to the parties joining me. Do others?  Well, most don't. Hell, sometimes I'm surprised by others that show up, and that's okay.  But ...   don't be surprised when one walks through a door or rolls up and nobody is there when one gets there if ..... they didn't 'know.' Yesterday is a perfect example.  Event has been announced.  Location of the event announced.  A ride to the event with a start point and a mid point have been advertised.  Now, if one is going to go to this, shouldn't one mention it?  Shouldn't one know the final event location if needed (ie miss the ride with others)? If the others on the ride knew this person was coming, they might wait...

 We're all diff' animals with diff' purposes.   Yet, we all have a ton in common in the big picture.  I mean, for 'most' of us sane ones, you're either Male or Female.  Or you have religious beliefs or you don't.  Some believe in 'country' and go down the path of serving it, whether that be via Military and/or Law Enforcement ....  lets add First Responders as well here.  Some own/drive/ride Fast Cars, Classic vehicles, motorcycles, off road vehicles, Jeeps, etc. .. you name it.  Then our interests; Guns, Coins, Health ... games such as Golf, Pickle Ball, Volleyball.. .... we could keep on going ... wines, whiskeys.... I guess the list is almost infinite.  Along the way we tend to gravitate towards those with common interests ... Today I find myself wanting to post in my Motorcycle related blog, but ..this one applies across all areas even though my thoughts are on two wheels as I type this.  My 'thought of the day' is ...  ...
