Mortality has been on my mind....
yeah...just little flitty topics like mortality.
My dad is 68 years old
It seems like he has been 90 this past week
He has Parkinsons.....
then he fell and broke his hip in California...
and needed to come back to Utah.

I am so lucky that I have the father I do.
He taught me how to work hard.
He taught me that mowing the lawn with three lawn mowers....is faster than one.
He taught me that even though you can buy a bag of potatoes for $1.00, picking them out of the field builds character.
He taught me loyalty.
I like that I have my dad's eyes.
He teaches me endurance.
He taught me that putting a metal roof on his shop can give you a killer tan, and some decent biceps.
He taught me that I have to put my weight behind a chain saw, or it could buck up on you.
He taught me that running all of the water through a solar panel on top of your house can give you free hot water.
He taught me that if the compressor over heats, that I need to fill it up with water...FAST.
He taught me that earning a nickel is great...but helping out the needy is better.
Money does not grow on trees
My name is not mud
I wish my kids could know my dad...not "old-man grandpa" but my dad.

Yup...just thinking about mortality.....
