A picture is worth a thousand words.

That’s Marcus in the pic, for scale.

The flames must have been 40 feet high… we chucked some fireworks into the fiery maul of the beast, just for fun. You gotta love a huge intentional fire. It was still going this morning, Marcus used wooden pallets on the outside, huge pine logs in the middle to keep it burning.

I got to drive a tractor:

This was at Marcus’s 5 acre spread up in Dade City, lotsa folks showed up and we went through a couple cases of beer… I fell asleep on a chair by the pool.

A few drinks puts me to sleep, especially as I get older.

2022 is here. I’m a Pisces so the zodiac says I’m going to have an amazing year, let’s see if that comes true. I’ve been dating a lovely gal for the last few weeks, but I’m not going to write about it until we’re further along in the process.

Being single is just plain sucky. Meeting someone you can have a blast with? That’s really the best.

Happy New Year y’all!
