I have been away for a long time. I don’t think anyone really noticed, my readership was at a all time low despite regular postings. It was about the time that I started telling my story. Admittedly, it wasn’t riveting stuff and I should have storyboarded it first. I’m still writing it but I haven’t been posting it. As they say, eventually you realize that nobody gives a shit.
But it’s ok. It goes both ways. I’ve been too busy to read my faithful followers and I can do better. And I will.
I have had a crippling case of writer’s block, despite being extremely busy. My health has been spotty, I feel pretty weak and lack motivation most days. But I have tried to stay active as possible and I have managed to maintain my detailing side business.
Masonry has largely consumed my time. I was elected Master of my Lodge last year and I was put in office at a critical time, we had been given one year to make adjustments and improvements or they would close us. I’m happy to report that we saved it in a big way and we roared back to full functionality by September.
The rest of my time, when not detailing cars and recovering from dialysis, has been spent on my new Harley. I broke down and bought a 2021 Road King. It is just a beautiful piece of workmanship and my smile is evident as I ride down the road. It is a reminder of what is good in life.
Of course, the main reason I’ve been away is I’ve been wallowing in reflection and searching for answers after my near suicide attempt a few months ago. The event was bad enough, the soul-searching that followed was worse. I have been questioning every damn thing about my life after it, it rattled me to the core.
All of these things will probably become their own blogs, for now I’m just trying to condition myself to blog again.
I hope all of you are doing great and killing it at life
Great positivity on the Lodge Billy! And a new Harley! Wow. I always fancied myself draped over one in leathers etc, but somehow the actual me would have been a right sight. Mind you, we nearly got one when a biker on Poole Quay offered to swap his for Maggie when she was a pup. He took a real shine to her and was so gentle with her. Of course she lapped it up, but there was no chance of it happening.

Killing it at life? Oh, I wish.
What I came to realize is that people who I care about most do give a shit. As for the rest who disappointed me one way or another, well, they can shove it. I couldn’t care less.
Glad you’re still riding…
