Visiting Kelly
So many people staying indoors and not taking advantage of this world and time off, therefore, I’m flying to San Antonio today. A close friend told me that he wasn’t happy that I was making the trip. I tried to reason with him to essentially rationalize the low probability of getting it while visiting my brother, plus the fact that we can’t hide in our homes, and that we have to go out someday. The point is that I tried to convince him to my belief. He then cut me off and said, “I knew this was going to happen. I shouldn’t have brought it up.” I knew that I had lost him. Perhaps lost the conversation, too. In retrospect and I should’ve just listened to him and acknowledged what he said. I didn’t have to reason with him or change his mind.

Lesson Learned
Well, back to the conversation. I simply shut up. I figured stop digging myself a hole. Lesson learned. I felt strange and uncomfortable after the conversation, but this is how I feel when I ruffles feathers, that’s why I try to not rock the boat. Just be agreeable and fly under the radar. But you know what? Successful men in business an socially and men able to reach their goals are not always agreeable men, but men who speak up, voice their opinions, and ruffle feathers.

Great Trip in Texas
I’ve been at my brother’s for a week and it’s been wonderful. Working around his property everyday, and doing some drone flying. Not smoking. I’ve decided to stay a little longer, though. I’m glad I did. We built a fire pit.

Future Plans
I’m think of riding my bike north to Daytona Beach. It would be a 300 mile ride. So if I do 30 miles the first day then increase each day it would be about a week to get up there. I did this route in 2007 and it took me about 6 days to get to Orlando. Eventually I rode all the way to Chicago. This is kinda a big deal. When you ride all day from sun up to sun down, your body changes and you change, too. Staying here at home is not healthy for me. We’re always having a BBQ or having friends over and I’m drinking and smoking a lot. And not having that much fun. Gotta take advantage of this free time.
