Sails in the wind

As I get older I find that what really makes me aware of my own mortality is loosing my friends. Just lost Banjo not sure what took him but the last few years were rough on him. We were neighbors at the marina and got to be true friends. I played guitar and he played everything but loved banjo. Having the same name he became Banjo Walter and I was Guitar Walter and I think he enjoyed that name. I wish I had video's of the jams we did but I guess I do in my mind. I am getting ready for Thanksgiving with my family and trying to go there with five new songs but my focus is not what it needs to be. Well past my pass out time so Pandora and REK tonight I think.

Some Beach

Well so far it has been a good weekend. Hit Flea Markets with Sam and her mom yesterday it was an enjoyable oouting though a little strange. Christy needed something to take up her time so she didn't have to think about her situation. Looks like winter is coming and that is something I could do without. It would be nice to on the Gulf somewhere anchored out or just sitting in the sand.

Made a quick trip to Tyler to see Genevieve for her birthday. Sometimes I feel guilty about not seeing her more often. Going to work on starter on runaboat today. I am really going to make an effort to do two to three projects a week. Lookong forward to Thanksgiving.

Early Morning Drive

Driving to work very few cars on the road, dark and time to think or remember. I miss you dad just thinking about the years in Rockport and some of our adventures in Las Vegas. I think about my life and how I have not really done much compared to you. I haven't been as good a father as you were and wish I had more time with Matt. Sam is at the age she is seperating herself from me and it hurts. About to get rear head put back together. Next project shower then head by V berth but no rush on it. Kinda tough finding parts for old toilets. If all is good next summer I am taking at least a one week trip up river. Well time to pretend I'm working. las
