SUBLIME SUNDAY FEELING BLESSED

First light.

I am pretty darned psyched. Today I am getting a "used son". Cool beans! His name is Lorn. You have already heard about him. He's Squeaky's best friend who has been living in P'land. Lorn's mom is moving to California and Lorn does not want to go. He just turned 18, so we worked out a deal with his mom for him to move back in here.



You see, my house in a box used to be Lorn's house. His family is connected to us in a strange way. While we lived in Fresno, they lived in Visalia which is not far from Fresno. When Boo was stuck in Lousinana with my folks for 8 months, they were living in the same parish there. Then we both moved here to Dumb Potter's Hell within the same week. Our oldest boys became best friends. We became friends. Her brother moved here and he became a very dear friend of mine. When he passed away four years ago, she did not want to stay here... and gave me all the equity she had in this house. It improved my life ten fold.



Lorn is the one Bear and I got so lost trying to find. Squeaky was going to go stay with him until this moving thing came up suddenly. So instead, tomorrow the Bear and I will once again brave the streets of P'land and go get Lorn. His mom is giving me a huge TV too. She gave me my last huge TV. It died a few months ago.



The great thing about Lorn is that all you have to do is mention that something needs to be done and he gets up and does it. Boom. Done. When I cook.... he's right there helping out. Mows the lawn without being asked. He loves to fish and does not mind fishing with old bats. Squeaky gets mad and tells him that Lorn is making Squeaky look bad. I tell Squeaky, no you make you look bad.



That's today's plan... go pick up the "used son" after breakfast with Bear and Mikey. We will BBQ later to celebrate his arrival. Mmmmmm... steelhead on the grill!




See this mess? This is what they did when they build the new firehouse. It's way over to the left of this photo.



See that shack back there? It's built of U-Haul trailer parts. They do that here! This is not the only U-Haul structure. Have you ever heard of this before?




See these lovely trees? They used to be living in that dirt up there. Sheesh.


And the reason they cut them down? Because trees are a fire hazard.



If trees aren't safe from fire living next to the firehall where is a tree safe?



Does this make any sense? ANY?



Sorry that has been bugging me. I moved here for the trees. Because there were no trees where I lived. The trees are what make Oregon green. Its just wrong.




This arrived in my mail box today. I did not order it and my boys say they didn't order it.



I like it so much, I am keeping it.



You know who he is!




"Remember, remember the fifth of November..."



Okay, enough farting around. I'm feeling great today. It's going to be a fun one. So let's have some fun with Sublime. This first song is ah, hem! A bit raunchy, but makes me feel good... something that Sublime is very, very good at doing.

This one you likely know. It's a signature song for them. The video is a fun little western. Makes me think of Mungo. Do you suppose this guy slugs horses too? Watch and see.

There you go. I'm off to get a used son. I can't wait to post a photo of the occasion. Hey, I got some great music today. Maybe I can share some of it this week. What would life be without music?
