Today has been a blur. Having had my coffee at 06:15 and my Bible reading behind me, Taylor and I headed out to run the Saturday morning errands. They needed to be expedited as there was a DIY brake job on my morning schedule.

You heard that right, it was on my schedule. Scheduling and setting reminders is a behavior that I am willing to become second nature. A little of planning and actually doing the task allows me to get an enormous freedom from the clutter of procrastination.

Well the brakes took three hours to finish. Working on older cars is always an adventure. It always feels great to take apart a part of a car and put it back together. Things only work one way is a truth I learned on my 1972 VW Westfalia. It has served me well.

I like the way this picture turned out. You can check out more pictures on my Google+ post about it.

Three days into my journey my legs are burning and I am tired. It is that good kind of tired however, a well earned tired. There are some challenges as to be expected. the surprise brake job comes to mind. The combination of waking up earlier each day and planning my day prepares me to handle it.

Well I have to go and finish cooking dinner. We are still outside on the patio because the stove situation. And there is still some tinder and kindling to prepare. I am not missing my weekly backyard campfire and A Prairie Home Companion. I think there is a cold Sierra Nevada with my name on it too.
