Spring?

Natalia and me as always like to stay at home and not go anywhere. We went out on a short hike looking for wild flowers but nothing out there yet. Still too early for nature to show its colorful self. I also got my first BBQ of the year on Saturday and hopefully get in the mode and perfect my techniques. I made ribs and always find them hard to do and definitely need tips and more practice.

This week we got a small thunderstorm with hail. As soon as it starts to rain hard I get tasked to go outside. What a way to appreciate the veteran. Why not send one of the many new young guys (can't be a female). The guys whom have done anything in life. Let them get a little wet and grow some.

Sunday I was able to go on another ride with TDW and this time RC and Mrs. Goodperson were present. Some of the regulars were missing like Linda and Charlie. Doesn't matter the destination or route, it is always great to just get out and joke and catch up. Sunday took us on the roads to Mt. Roubidoux and I must say I am impressed on the amount of people whom are in this road. There has been a huge fitness boom in Riverside and it is clearly seen on this road. I look forward to another ride next week if possible.

Finished reading Babbitt and was hoping for a different story (something like Walden) but the concept of simplifying life and not complicate it for no reason other than more money and to be liked (To keep up with others to impress). Now I have decided to go back to old science fiction, as I like to read the older stories and their predictions. I am now reading The Menace From Earth by Robert Heinlein.

Another deposition this week and this one only 40 minutes long. Now after the big deal to question my parents, they are no longer needed for questioning. Also another feeble attempt at claiming the abuse allegations were not made on purpose. Either way they were made. Money was spent in defending them and I lost weeks out of contact with Natalia and was treated in a bad way by my command and higher echelon became involved due to the nature of my work there while deployed due to these allegations. Also now another proposal is offered. These will never end. Do note this is as I can recall the third abuse claim my ex has made with investigations made and no findings. A great effort was made to make me look like a loser and not a successful person. Why? because I do not make lots of money. Hmmmm. So if only the parent with the money can have custody of the child, why the need for support? Why so many mothers with children whom "can't" support them? Hmmmm.

I know I am late but I just heard of the new Marvel Secret Wars event. I'm in trouble now. Broke and I want to read all of the story line.
