The Honeymoon Is Over
Earl has decided that I shouldn’t be trying to grow tomatoes indoors. He quietly uprooted one plant and “trimmed” the other while I was on the computer just ten feet away. They were going to move outside onto the deck today as we had our first day in the 60’s yesterday and today looks the same.
Luckily, Twitter Creek still has starts. I repotted the larger pieces, we’ll see. Meanwhile, Earl is in the doghouse.
Stay cool.
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
