I am still rather frustrated about how she bailed on this weekend. Oh well, I will just have to keep trying. Maybe I am thinking too much into this.

Night everyone.

I was begging to think that you would have finished your task shortly after. I am sorry you did not.

I was very much the hypocrite for a long time. I always said that if you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything. I did that with various projects over the years. The guitar project was a challenge to myself. Another one that took 20 years to fulfill, yet the whole time I told people that they could do anything - ask David - I was myself, hiding from the one challenge in my life that I thought I could not achieve. I did that a week ago. Now I can truly say, that if you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything!

Max, stop asking questions, stop making excuses, stop trying to figure out the right person for yourself without even trying, and just go out there and do it! You can. There is no try, just do.

That is a cop out. You agreed to this challenge.

I would much rather take the PPL test, though.

There is a family of them living in the big maple tree in the front yard. I like watching them and the babies seem to be getting used to being around people

I think they are cute. I wouldn't mind raising one. I do mind them eating my food. This little experiment of mine costs more than it produces and it's not producing anything, thanks to the damn squirrels.

They are rather destructive, and their main reason for being seems to be for eating. But they are fun to watch.

Two of them having a go in a tree is awesome. I wish I could run around like that, not much fear of falling.
