Where is that 🤦‍♂️ emoticon? Then again, it does bring work purpose to that person Halloween Treat grab bowl; and who’s gonna miss a few items when so many remain….hide all those wrappers though.

There’s more territory and time zones west of west coast time. Living near the international date line would be nice, wake of the old day and step across for drinks time…yup, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

Them be adult rules, we don’t worry about that until…it’s in our favor.

It’s a big ranch and hot days, those dusty clothes do need to be shaken and aired out from time to time.

Hank and Jesse got the push to move forward. Though it’s under difficult circumstances, Jesse is getting a life lesson on how he is of value; not as a traded commodity but as a cherished being. While some of the intimate activities may seems the same on the surface, Jesse is finding that Hank takes pleasure in loving Jesse…without the need for Jesse to feel obligated, for anything more than what his own desires tell him.

So voyeurism and exhibitionism working together, despite it being strategically necessary and perhaps unexpected for the man on the scope.

Doctors are the worst patients and mechanics drive the worse cars… Perhaps our own comfort zones make us settle when we could have much better if followed our own advise.

Isn’t champagne a natural digestive health cleanser and daily supplement; recommended with meals when activities allow. Nothing better than floating meals down with a little fizzy. While I’m a little more traditional with wines, champagne does offer a natural flavor with what seems to me as having a natural characteristic that says drink slow don’t over do it; too bad some don’t enjoy that same filter for pacing. 🤣

Akuzio is apparently coming into powers yet unknown, as least to him. But what powers will he manifest? Jacob’s prior brotherhood test with Q had him able to tolerate both light and dark, which still begs of why and how the Gods are powerless to explain his ability to break rules. Zenial sensed what he had experienced as like another prince joining the battle. Jacob cannot explain the God trapped within, but that God himself says he is bound and had nothing to do with Jacob’s burst of ?Royal? powers. OMFG, Soullen thanks Jacob for his worthy fight and makes him promise to spar and train with him in the future; a brotherly exchange that kinda makes the dark and light the adversarial lines seem to blur.

What teen boy doesn’t have a pointer/compass that points into wherever direction the wind…blows? American Pie kinda captures the teen horniness psyche; slice of pizza anyone? Brooke on the other hand typifies many teen girls; any attention given …means they’re special. In her mind, just anytime now they’ll be BF/GF, a couple…if only Levi could read the chaotic teen female brain; however, not even the best scientific brains have a model equation to figure that out.

But it’s so troubling that Levi is starting to hide is curiosity and contact with Casey from his GOOD friends. That self isolation for his own curiosity is what gives Casey and crew the opportunity for Thompsonville Troubles. Even if Levi wants to give Casey the benefits of any doubts, then invite him in with their group; ask the friends to allow Casey to prove himself in a safe and public manner. Me smells the scent of a skunk having been near; camouflage will not mask the stink hidden within. 🤦‍♂️, Levi is still too naive and without the confidence to speak to those he has reason to trust…don’t trust Casey without making him earn that same trust the others have, publicly! 😠

The ole 3 on the tree or 4 on the floor comes to mind. I learned the tree first…an old 48 dodge I believe.

Indeed, all these sticks protruding through a hole on the floor, just waiting for an interested part to take pleasure in stroking it through the different positions that make your motor rev.

Then comes along a gay boy Gear, a first cousin of sorts; everyone is trying to put it in Gear. Of course, it’s all the better that Gear brings along 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cousins; all named Gear too. It’s quite an orgy with everyone putting, jamming, and cramming it into one of the Gears.

Shifting positions allows for selection of pace, one position for a slow steady pace, another for a faster and more aggressive pace towards a destination already known. There is a resting position that allows for reflection of just which pace is best for the next run…or for just sitting at rest until the timing is right to pursue the anticipated performance just knowing that the speed you’re going is just right. Sticks are so versatile and most all have unique knobs that make the experience all the more interesting. Either way, getting a firm grip on a new knob invites more exploration and learning how responsive your commands are met. How ironic that the destination for most teens is somewhat irrelevant, it’s the getting there that makes the trip so exciting.

I loved the setup where Zane thought he was bidding against Nasser Ranch…as it has always been known to him. But then the courtesy nod from Bert Nasser for Taggert to engage and do their bidding was great. Zane went from feeling secure to getting gut punched…by his own son, who he had branded and exiled. Only to find his shamed son had numerous friends and apparently not just fair weather tricksters, but joint investors that wanted this great Yoder grandson to find his way back with the same fine character he had shown them. The kicker being Taggert bidding but announced as SOLD to Nasser Ranch; not as hot as a branding iron but that had to burn Zane. I would have still liked to see Zane subjected to punishment to match his crimes, but this was pretty dang good to see him eat a little crow. Now if there is an epilogue that has Zane evicted from Taggert’s property holdings or paying rents to Nasser Ranch then that crow pie gets even bigger an flavored just right for Zane.

The note says last chapter, yet it’s not marked complete…so is there an extra scene yet to surprise us with an epilogue of Taggert taking Yoder Ranch from Zane? 🤣

Did you get that same hair parting shot as the bullet rifled past? Dang, Randy was fortunately unharmed and hopefully doesn’t overthink it internally. I’m glad they didn’t see or hear that at a time to break their training cadences from what was best needed and done. I was hoping for a little vindication for Kent as the blood shot into the ridge line sniper Fox hole seems to have been his.

Well…opening the eyes is important, especially when discharging one’s duties. As a kid I was startled more awake was I was standing in front of the porcelain and peeing. My mom’s startled shout had me look at her, then at where I was peeing. The porcelain in my sights was the old style wall mount sink and to my right was the desired target of the porcelain throne…yep, my sleepy, exhausted, toddlers brain registered fire when ready and the poor clothes hamper beneath the sink took the hit. Until mom’s startle cry had me look at what I was doing. The tracer rounds then showed an erratic line of fire correcting to acquire the intended target. My poor 28yo mom now had to add my Batman PJs to the bath hamper, along with the towels and cloths used to remove evidence of tracer rounds across the floor and baseboard towards the toilet; sitting there watching, mouth agape, in one of the earliest memories I have. The good news was after breakfast, brothers were off to school, and dad off to work. I was encouraged to take an early and later nap after that. Yep, open them eyes and welcome the morning with clear vision! 😆

Yes, they are teenagers. So I’m left wondering what Troy was taking 20 minutes for in that shower?? Even with 9 innings that’s still enough time to …go overtime? 😂 hahaha 😌 but then again that nice warm shower running is a very relaxing way to pace the recovery time…NEXT.

Now which stallion is swishing his tail?

That sounds like a Grammy Award 🥇

Or have a very good hiding spot.

You didn’t even mention leather straps, mounting up, riding hard, or whips; of course tugging on the bit is just a little exercise in dominance.
