the baby's are healthy.

remember the post of A MONTH AGO when i was the proud father of 2 healthy, strapping baby cedar trees? well it was time to measure the little darlings today and i'm happy to report that they're growing like weeds. the small tree has grown from 21 inches to 22.5 inches while his big brother has grown from 64 inches to 68 inches. this is no accident, i've been watering them every morning and singing to them each evening before they go to sleep. it probably didn't hurt that i put a wee bit of fertilizer in the hole before planting them. i'll measure them again in a month. this gimmick should last for a several years. after that i may need some surveying equipment to measure their height if this rate of growth continues.

a few nights ago i hopped on the bike and rode to the library after dinner. it was a warm evening so i rode through the park and odin must have been smiling upon me because i experienced a moment of bliss whilst riding under the canopy of trees. it was total serenity and fresh air with a few rays of sunlight making it through the trees and when those rays of sun shone upon me, my spirits lifted and i realized, life is good, enjoy and remember the moment. that's the secret, remember the blissful moments and say adios to those moments that cause you grief.

the trip to the library was to pick up a copy of the dark knight. i watched the movie a few years ago and didn't think it was anything special. this time i thoroughly enjoyed it and why is that you ask? like i've said many times, lower expectations. of course heath ledger stole the show and this time i was able to drift off to tralfamadore while christian bale, michael caine and morgan freeman put others to sleep. it's a shame that old heath checked out so soon. so it goes.

i love you sons of bitches.

I would never have believed a bike-riding epiphany was possible, but you've proved me wrong. Were you free-wheeling at the time?

billy pilgrim said...

this was my second bike riding epiphany. years ago on a pre dawn ride in frosty weather the ice crystals came alive and gave me the secret to prosperity.

Ice-nine?

Farmer Giles said...

Billy, my friend, on this 'amazing' bike ride, matey, you wouldn't by any chance have been smoking too much weed, would you - or ingesting too many magic mushrooms? Just a 'wonderful' thought! :-P

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Drug-Free' 'Starry' Night!

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Steve...

ice nine? i wouldn't touch that stuff with a ten foot pole.

it is impossible to smoke too much weed.

BBC said...

Nature loves urine so piss at the base of those trees.

What in the hell is ice nine?

thimscool said...

Wait a mini... So by switching from lettuce to clover I could increase the efficiency of my urine evaporation vats?

BBC said...

Frump seems to think he can make a difference in the bigger picture by working his fucking ass off.

I'll assume he gets paid well for all that stupid shit, all that fucking talking must be hard work.

BBC said...

Oh, oh, the word on the street is that Leslie had a one eyed, one horned, flying purple peter eater.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - please let me know how you get rid of your clover.

bill - i should go buy 2 identical little trees and piss on one every morning while giving the other one nothing but water.

nice play on words with the peter eater.

thimscool said...

Goats?

billy pilgrim said...

ruby hates goats.

thimscool said...

The Cleveland Vibrator Company turns up as a search result for a pistol that interests me. Spirit is fucking with me.

It's possible to purchase in Canada. I have no idea about her majesty's other "I hired people to piss there" possessions.

BBC said...

Thim's got his hands on some good moonshine? Should make for a wonderful Friday evening.

A biker's high? Sounds awesome. I'm still waiting to experience the runner's high and I've been doing it for years. Maybe I need to trade in the running shoes for a Schwin. The Dark Knight is pretty awesome and Heath does steal the show. It would have been nice to see him stick around a few more years. Good work on the trees, BP. Keep up the good work.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - yeah that spirit is fucking with harry too.

mr shife - not really a bikers high, i just happened to be on a bike when i was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature.

BBC said...

Harry doesn't like anyone but family, and I'm not sure he likes them a hell of a lot either. But if he doesn't want to have any friends I'm okay with that.

billy pilgrim said...

going to be a beautiful sunny day. the baby tomato plants will be happy as clams.

BBC said...

It sure is a beautiful day over here. Maybe I'll do a little weed eating and work on the mower some.

billy pilgrim said...

i'm testing my clothes line for the 3rd time. adding a little more each time but if there's a sudden gust of win, all bets are off.

Farmer Giles said...

Anyone know of any chicks who need their ovens bunning. I'm cheap and open to negotiation! :-P

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

FG, Always glad to help...

billy pilgrim said...

the king is in charge of putting buns in ovens around here. that's if he's still UP for the task.

BBC said...

The last time I put a bun in the oven it turned out to be a one eyed flying purple peter eater that came at me from out of her eye.

Fuck, think I'll retire my dick.

Farmer Giles said...

Bill, this may seem a somewhat strange 'manly' comment to make, but what the fuck. I hope that your dick enjoys a long and happy retirement, my friend. Using it for pissing out of can't be that bad, can it? :-P

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Steve...
