Just idling my engine. I know that's bad for the environment but I'm afraid that like many of the cars I owned as a young man, if I shut it off completely, it won't start again. I suppose that like many of the farm tractors of my youth I could park at the top of a hill and let it run down to start it, but that assumes a manual transmission, and I'm afraid my stick shift years are behind me.
So I'm just gonna idle a bit longer. I tried running this past Sunday and it was all I could do to complete 5 kms at a 6 minute pace!!! Wow!!!
We're gonna be putting Leon Regnier Junior to rest over the next few days which will provide more opportunity for me to rest as well, and on top of that I'm sure the family interaction will recharge my batteries. I am so blessed to have not just a large wonderful clan of my own, but I can share Roo's boisterous group of 9 as well. Amazing really. I'll tell you a bit more about my father-in-law over the next few days, but for now suffice it to say that he always did the best he could with what he had.
Talk to you soon.....you too Junior...
....and this makes sense to me....

I like the quote, but love what you said about your dad in law! I think it's all that can ever be expected of anyone, to do the best they can, with what they have! Love you, my friend!
