The Sun Popped Up

 Our new home has a lot of windows and good natural lighting. All of a sudden the sun popped over the mountain, so here we go another day. The left leg refuses to heal. Kadizzle has been limping around for two weeks. Top that off with the episodic and the days could be better, but it is not that bad the weather has been nice. 

Yesterday Kadizzle rode the ebike down to the lake and watched two radio controlled sailboats racing. The technology built into the little boats was astonishing. The boats performed like a real boat and two guys were racing them around the buoys. The boats could tack and even go wing and wing downwind. It looked like fun. 

One of the boat sailors talked about racing on real boats to Hawaii.  He told Kadizzle in the old days boat owners would buy you a ticket to crew on their boat. That would have been a fun adventure. 

Visitors have been stopping by our new home. Everyone is welcome. Republicans will be asked to atone for their sins.  We have set up the house to accommodate a small RV or camper next to the house. We have a full hookup.  Honest Omar you can probably get your beast in there. 

Shanika might be reading this, who knows, but Shanika informed Kadizzle he sold his most recent old man car. Shanika has gone through more cars than Kadizzle has underwear.  There is some DNA in old white guys that makes them want to drive a car that feels like a boat. Shanika had a brother who had a big white Cadillac. It was the old fashioned Cadillac every old guy wanted. Kadizzle used tor drive Darell to Bismarck in that boat. The old guys would drool over that car. Old guys in a few generations back thought they hit heaven if they had a big diamond ring, and some old diesel of a car. Back to Shanika, I have been counseling him for years just to buy a decent Toyota. Kadizzle has owned about five Toyotas, and never had a problem. On the other hand every old American boat Shanika has bought turns out to be a nightmare of repairs. Remember when old guys used to retire and the first thing they did was buy a jumpsuit with an elastic waistband? What is the big thing for old goats now? A lot of goats around here have four wheel buggies. Rarely do they go off road, but it makes them feel good.  Most old geezers go through that stage where they have to have some car like a corvette, or some classic car. The idea is to park the car and have people come up to the car and admire it. Of course there are those with too much cheese who go all out an buy some $250,000 car. Now they are in hog heaven. The reality is most of these cars are really not good to travel in. Who wants to drive down the road with your ass two inches off the ground? Kadizzle likes to sit in something as high as practical, then you can see. Long ago when Kadizzle made some trips with his brother in a tractor trailer it was nice to sit up high and see the world.  At some point all old guys realize you cannot buy back your youth.  Kadizzle has been having oldman dreams about buying an adventure motorcycle. The child brain says yes, and the old man brian says " good luck with that stupidity". Now, all of this presents an opportunity for younger people.  The old goats with the money buy some nice thing and realize they are too old, and this means some nice boats, cars, motorcycles and so on flood the market. In Arizona some old goat is always surrendering and if you shop you can get the old goat special.
