\"\"<\/a>Whenever possible, I at least try to build in a little “fun time” between “work time” on my busy weekends. So you are looking five hours’ progress on the project to lay hardwood flooring in our upstairs hallway.

I was drenched in sweat, so I took a shower. As I was drying myself, my best friend “AZ” called, and we chatted for a while about something important going on in his life. After completing the call, I changed into breeches with Dehner patrol boots — why not? I kinda like how they look together. I hopped on my Harley and went to visit with my aunt, then went to the grocery store to pick up a few things for one of her neighbors. Dropping off the items with a smile, I got back on the bike and rode home.<\/p>\n

I got to thinking as I was riding along that no one anywhere said a think about the boots and breeches. Not my aunt, not her neighbors, and no one in the grocery store. (Though there was a guy following me in the store who had his eye on my boots, but didn’t say anything and didn’t follow me out of the store.)<\/p>\n

When I got home, I realized that I had about an hour before my partner would return from his brief trip to visit his mother, so I created a fun little video and posted it on YouTube, which you can see below.<\/p>\n

Life is short: have a little fun when the work is done!
