Five Pounds Heavier

What are you looking at?

Yup, fresh back from San Francisco and guess what?  I am five pounds heavier than two weeks ago at my last treatment.  Why would that be?  Esther Hobbs, why would that be?

Yea, and fresh back to Wild Kingdom too as I missed hitting that deer by a nanosecond this AM on Vashon roads.   Good brakes on my little truck.  Another comment on our Wild Kingdom de Vashon is that the deer have been chewing on my little corn plants which is pretty close to unforgivable.  When does the season open?

Do you know the Phil’s Camino has a FaceBook page?  Check it out as there are pics from the California trip.  OK, I am going to eat lunch.  The best to you, love, Felipe.x

  1. Hola Amigo!

    Dorothy said it most memorably, “There’s no place like Home”! Glad you’re back safely and with the “extra” five pounds to make your walks feel like you’re carrying a pack 😉
    In Iowa, if the deer are eating your corn, they ARE in season. Same goes for the wild turkeys, who are bigger hogs than the deer when it comes to eating baby corn.
    I always thought it a little disingenuous of the State when they fine people for shooting deer out of season with the stated reason that the deer belong to the State. But if you total out your nice new pick up truck hitting one on the road, the State disavows anything about that said ownership. Hmmmm.
    From all the pix, it appears you and Phil’s Camino had a great reception there in the City that Sinatra left his heart in. My feeling is that everyone who sees your wonderful little documentary is made better by it.
    Gotta pass along a “feel good” segment here for you. I was doggedly making the rounds of the various bureaucracies this morning trying to get my permanent Veterans ID/DL card. I was finally down to the last office to visit to get the last X filled in on the list of check boxes, only to find that the one (and ONLY) person who could fill in that X was on her “day off”. Try to ignore that fact that there were two other people in the same small office but neither was “authorized” to fill in that X. I think you can sense my frustration here. Anyway, as I’m walking out of the office with my teeth grinding, thinking that things are just the shits already, I’m hailed down by a very large woman walking with two canes. (Maybe she called me because I was wearing my USMC cap) She has multiple passengers in her older, rough looking car, all of which were older than she was. As I’m scoping out the situation, my eyes spot the Rosary hanging from her rear view mirror. Ka Ching!! God message coming thru FJ, pay attention. She wondered if I would be able to help her carry some boxes out to her car from the County Food Assistance Center nearby. Such minor problems have I! I gladly and cheerfully did the task, and then asked her to pray for me and I would pray for her. The beaming smile she gave me was priceless as she assured me she would do just that.
    Have a great day Felipe!

    1. PFJ ~ I think I will hang out some of my stinky t-shirts at the corn for plan A. I’ve never heard of a vet’s ID card and isn’t bureaucracy just a riot. I used to be love it when I would try and buy the federal duck stamps at the federal Post Office. You would have thought that I was doing something highly illegal. Anyway. And that’s the whole deal when you are feeling sorrow for yourself, some one comes along that has more bullet holes than you and then smiles at you, right? Ya, thanks Juan, good to hear from you. Love you man, Felipe.

  2. Roger That! Go back and check your May 31 blog post. Kinda deja vu all over again.

    1. PFJ ~ not Deja vu all over again again! You gotta wonder. What have you been up to lately, keeping out of trouble? Eyes are closing, Felipe.

    1. Hi Ivette ~ yea, the corn is 4-5 inches. Thanks again for your help on planting weekend. I was just going to drive the Suburban out and park it next to the field for the night. Changes make the deer shy away. Everything going good? Love, Felipe.x
