The World According To Guitarguy

Good morning all .

If your a mother , Happy Mother’s Day !

I just talked with mine using that old style analog method, the telephone .

It was nice to hear her voice again.

I haven’t been able to get cell service here in the Smokies and this fact has put a crimp on my dutiful daily phone calls .

Lest you think that I’ve been languishing about watching Oprah and snarfing down bon bons during my lay over , rest assured that there have been no idle hands on this guy .

Yesterday I helped John rehab the master bathroom , installing new hardware on the drawer faces and reinstalling the door panels .

This is one of the times when having two artificial legs can really come in handy .

When I’m not wearing my prosthetics, I stand a shade over four feet tall and am quite proficient at getting around by walking on my knees .

This makes doing low to the ground tasks much easier on the back an you’d be surprised at all the seemingly lost treasures that rest down here below the view of mere mortal men.

I could retire on your loose pocket change and the resale of missing cat toys .

After our work had been finished for the day , we went for an hour long journey to Asheville for sushi !

We dined with friends of John and Margaret’s son Eric , who is currently serving overseas .

Over all it was a very nice end to the day .

I’d be lying if I said that my throttle hand wasn’t getting itchy though .

As nice as this visit has been , I’m ready for a good stretch of weather and the return of the wind in what’s left of my hair .

John had the notion that I should  to take a more southerly path out west, mainly route 20 instead of 40 west .

This seems to be the line separating all this bad weather that’s been sweeping across the country’s midsection.

He said that I’d want to stay away from going any farther south, as the devastation of Hurricane Katrina is still quite evident following the route 10 corridor .

I’m pegging my hopes on heading out tomorrow .

Till then……………
