Saddle Up!

Source
Once again it is time to mount up and head out. Boots and saddles, sea and anchor duty, etc., etc., etc.

Hopefully the roads will be like this ...



And not like this (à la Monday instant) ...



We can but hope.

I'm still amazed that after three hours of sleep (admittedly a very sound sleep) I was able to function for most of Wednesday.

I guess I'm just too busy to be tired.

Hey, it could happen!

See you from below the Mason-Dixon, not sure when, not sure how, but we'll meet again some sunny day. (At least I hope we're in for some more sunny days!)

Take it away, Willie!



Bis gleich! Und tschüss!

      Nope, Boots and Saddles it was. Garry Owen, beloved tune of Custer's 7th Cavalry!

      Arrived! Trip was easy and pleasant. As I was alone, I could crank my tunes to 11!

    Hmm, driving a tank through traffic? Might be fun for road-ragers. This might get better mileage though: https://youtu.be/mSZ888bogL4?si=fNyWNIGH8kKOwaYG&t=26

      JB - I love the Sherman, though i wasn't always so.

      Saw 2 crazies, most of the rest were just garden variety idiots.

    Winter travel brings to mind the advice of my maternal Grandfather, Era Burtis, Wyoming rancher. "I don't care if you go naked, take all the clothes you got".

Just be polite... that's all I ask. (For Buck)
Can't be nice, go somewhere else...
