Aftermath

It seems like everytime I try to gain some control over my weight, all I do is gain. After nearly a week of "watching it", I've gained a half a pound. Actually, I'm not really surprised - my body just hasn't been responding as it normally would and everything I've eaten recently seems to have a high salt content - so I'm chalking this up to water retention. Onward and downward!

By the time I made my long commute home, things with The Kid had improved. He had made his usual foray over to visit with Bick as soon as he got home and said that his dad had apologized and that he (The Kid) was feeling better. The dad came over at one point in the evening while I was inside fixing dinner - don't know what was said, but it appears that some sort of order has been restored.

With The Kid hanging close last night, I got out of Elvis duty. Seems Bick has a pretty serious nibble on the Cadillac, and the biter wanted to see a couple of more specific pictures before flying in this weekend to look at Elvis in person. So The Kid and Bick went up to the airport to pick up the car, get it cleaned up again, and take the requested pictures. That completed, Bick let The Kid follow him back to the airport driving Elvis (1/2 mile away) and on their way home, they stopped to visit with the airstrip owner.

The owner was outside checking out his RV, as he and the missus were a couple of days from leaving for a 2 month stint elsewhere. He mentioned that he was looking for someone to take care of the mowing around the airstrip while he was gone and Bick pointed out that The Kid would make an excellent mower. Bick plans to make a stop by the airport tonight to really talk with the owner about The Kid, lest he was put off by the black hair dye(wtf?) and the baggy-assed pants that he wears. Hope that works out.

Take good care of yourself. Be kind to others. Hitch up your britches!
