Howdy, y’all!
As a side note to yesterday's soliloquy, I had hoped to get up to the homeplace to do some work yesterday. However, my “bionic” left shoulder that is ricocheting down into the muscles in my back and, especially, left hip did not agree. So, I let my left shoulder win this time only!
Today, Sunday, is our niece's birthday. If “sister-in-law” is correct, then why don’t we say “niece-in-law?” She is my sister-in-law’s daughter! I digress, of course. Tomorrow is Veterans Day.
Earlier today, for our niece and for all veterans, especially those in the Fearghail clan, I hiked House Mountain for the 161st time, alone, once again, as usual!
The weather, still too warm, was sunny. Any day in the woods is better than not having been there. Please enjoy the two photographs!
The above image was all that was left of me! Why did I wear my short-sleeve hiking shirt? The T-shirt would have been enough. The photograph was taken on the west bluff. It took me 34 minutes to hike up the west trail, touching the rock at the bluff to end the time. Maybe one of these days, I may get back to a 24-minute time. My “bionic” right foot and right knee still don’t allow me to be anything more than a lame mountain goat.
The above photograph was taken on my way back down. The west bluff is above me. There were way too many pine beetles clinging to me on this quite warm day.
I forgot to photograph my 2006 Frontier! Sorry, old truck! Leaving, I was trying to figure out how to get out of the parking spot with all the surrounding vehicles!
Speaking of pine beetles, look for my next article. It will include deeper musings, inspired by The Beatles’ song, “The Fool On The Hill.” You don't want to miss it! Keep turnin’ right and goin’ straight out there!
