It’s been an odd week on the home front, and while things are progressing per normal at the shop, I’ve found myself needing a bit of solo planning time.

Too many projects in the works and not enough time.

(As I write this, I’m sipping a protein drink dinner letting new nail polish dry. As they say, there ain’t no rest for the wicked.)

An unexpected trip down to Bozeman took up my days off this week, and it ended up being a stellar change of scenery. I tend to immerse in projects and sometimes it helps to pull out for a moment and take a deep breath.

Last night brought an expected moment of quiet when I picked up a rental boat in Cascade after the work day. We had late customers in the shop, and by the time I was able to escape and make it downriver to pick up the boat, it was dusk. The ramp was quiet save for the wind and a few geese, and I enjoyed taking my time with the boat and just catching my breath for a minute.

Nothing like listening to a quiet riffle to calm the mind, and nothing like a few moments to work with the camera to make the soul happy.
