Stuff that makes us happy
« on: October 10, 2014, 04:41:45 AM »
I thought that I'd change it up a bit from the thread about things that annoy us.

Riding my bike on a beautiful Fall day.   :)

Running through the gears on an empty road.    :D

Sitting in a boat, on a glass smooth pond, on a warm summer night fishing, and not caring if you caught anything or not.

Twisting the throttle on the Connie on some back road with no traffic and lots of sweeping turns.  8) Then at the end of that day, coming into some small town I've never been to and finding a cheap motel stumbling distance to a brew pub. Doing this with my brothers and my son on a week long summer road trip, pure joy and happiness right there.  :banana

Being amused or amusing myself (Easy Boys! Not that way!). Seven billion people on the planet and 6,999,999,972 are straight- men (and women), all amusing me to no end. The balance are cranky people who amuse no one.

And my new wood stove, which shipped this week! Well, it would have if the mfg. did not push back the delivery a week :-(  Oh well, next week I will be happy about it shipping all over again.  ;D

It took a while but I found that I like to be figuring things out. It's dull if everything is understood and organized, but if there's something wrong that needs improving, especially if the solution is not immediately obvious, I wake up and pay attention.

The corollary is that I don't like to do repetitive stuff.

Riding my bicycle around White Rock Lake anytime of year, my Connie, my family, life in general really. I'm thankful and grateful for everything that I have and take time at least once a week to reflect on that.

Remembering :finger_fing11: the birth of and first breaths of my children(4).  ;D
 8) the smell of a new bikes first ride.  The sensory barrage of riding any motorcycle ( street or dirt). A secluded twisty road.
Having breakfast with any of my six grandchildren and watching them wake up.  :D
Watching my wife take care of all of us  :D

Ah, John Prine, haven't thought of him in a long time.  One of my favorite songs, "Souvenirs".
