Chapter 20 - Getting To Know All About You
Daddydavek commented on Paladin's story chapter in Chapter 20 - Getting To Know All About You
Finally, Martin opened up about his embarrassment of riches and it took the boys being concerned about Nathan for it to happen. And yes, I fully expect the ex to provide plenty of drama when she finds out the kids will be financially independent... -
To ranch hands who get room and board as part of their pay with meals provided, a thousand dollars cash is a lot of money. I got a kick out of Bert's comments to his son. Ash and Taggert are making progress and the bit with the horses showed it, as did their discussion ending with "maybe later." The chapter ended with Taggert's thought: " Because, to his own surprise, he’d meant them." Another well crafted chapter, yes, another one before the fourth would be great!

We've had timely rains this spring and June has not been too bad so far, but this coming week for my area is forecast to be toasty with temps 95F and above with heat indices in the triple digits through next weekend. The troubling part is that the overnight lows are to be near 80 F which doesn't provide much overnight cooling...AT least most of us have air conditioning and don't face what has happened in Europe this past week.

Crash Journal of Fraser Vogel
Daddydavek commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in Crash Journal of Fraser Vogel
Not your ordinary close encounter! Our hero was fairly well prepared but still survived mainly due to the kindness of a stranger. -
Who is surprised that the young and randy Will needs sex often and convinced Austen to continue as his regular hook-up but not boyfriend? Said boyfriend on the left coast and in the closet, and struggling with his own demons....leaves me wondering where the next twist to the tale takes us? More please!

Taggert tended to Ash's scar despite being dead on his feet and afterward literally dropped into a deep sleep without even taking off his boots. Ash Covered him and got his boots off and Taggert was surprised someone took care of him. He's worried Ash's wounds won't leave a scar, while his emotional scars are so thick that he is afraid to even hope. While I don't see him seeking professional help, he could definitely use some as he seems to be carrying a crushing load of shame and guilt with little or no self-worth. This chapter was aptly titled and Taggert heard and saw some things that are causing him question his assumptions about himself and his fellow cowboys. Another really well crafted chapter and now I have to wait another whole week!

Chapter 19 - Rich Kid, Poor Kid
Daddydavek commented on Paladin's story chapter in Chapter 19 - Rich Kid, Poor Kid
i like the way Martin insists his family think about the impact of their actions on those they love and think through the consequences of their actions and ways to allay their concerns and still meet their expectations. The ex-wife is the real loser in the story and she may feel empowered but it is already costing her without her even knowing it. Petty people are usually discarded as it becomes tiresome and demeaning to put with them. -
Neil had a brilliant moment when he saw how to link together the song cycle with a thread. That is always a satisfying experience for any creative artist. That was the highlight of the chapter for me!

It seems George survived his first major test. I fear his battle with the shipyard in drydock may be more arduous. More Please!

World Cup is big in my area! Team USA is looking good. Happy daddy's day!

Ambien and cocaine is truly a dangerous mix! Kendo is not to be trusted! The results could be deadly. Will wanted to let Austen down gently, but that wasn't to be. As previously mentioned, he needs to set ground rules which are clear. Perhaps this can be a lesson learned, albeit with some regrets. I suspect we are getting closer to the travisty... More please!

I've lived through more than a a couple of tornados and fortunately I was more on the periphery of the devastating damage. Wayne's description is spot on, especially the pressure changes. The overwhelming feature however is the roaring sound which is physical. Great job! Hoping Ash moves into Taggert's trailer. Looking forward to the next chapter!

I was put on pony rides as a child at school picnics. As a teenager we would go ride trails at a local horse farm. Sadly that place is now a subdivision full of tract homes. I never learned to saddle or care for a horse. My grandfather told me stories of him having and riding a mule as well as using a pair of mules to plow the field. Unfortunately he lost the farm in 1932 during the depression when my mom was nine years old. She was mad because her uncle bought it in a foreclosure sale to pay the taxes on the county courthouse steps and promptly evicted them.

Well we now know the next chapter is Shelter. Howzat has speculated a likely scenario which Chris also seems to think is likely. Wayne suggests that Taggert's main problem with trust isn't Ash, but himself; and Parker wonders if the physical storm will be as intense as the emotional storm when they are thrown together. It does sound like a recipe and hopefully we can all wait until Friday as we stew about it all...

Being in a trailer during severe weather in tornado alley is not safe.

Chapter 18 - Who Owns The Narrative?
Daddydavek commented on Paladin's story chapter in Chapter 18 - Who Owns The Narrative?
Nathan's ex is as bad as expected. Martin was confronted about the expense of supporting everyone and revealed he was well compensated. Marie has an announcement and I wonder if her mom will also be meeting Lachlan' s parents at the same time? Bert and Carol? Is the English lord taken with another Aussie? So many questions!!- 33 comments

It was a fun chapter and Marie played her part to perfection. Kendo's weird vibe was also felt by Marie and hopefully she makes good on telling Travis. I suspect Will has to live with a certain amount of celebrity status for the rest of his life unless he becomes a recluse... As usual, great job! More please!

I read this early this morning and keep thinking Wounded describes Taggert more than Ash. The incident where Ash gets hurt seems like a direct product of the wounded Taggert's pulling back. His feelings of fault and shame and obsessive care and concerns about it leaving a scar make the case for explaining his own scars, both physical and psychological. I too noticed the changed writing style and it works.

Neil and Charley play the big bully and annoying oaf parts naturally and with the practiced ease of brothers. I suspect Margaret can handle Charley who will be better for it. Anne may end up being a bit resentful of her. Especially when she realizes Neil and Alex are a couple!

My radio stations play soft rock, soul music, anthem rock and mega hits from the '60's to today but I mostly avoid rap, indie rock and punk. My CD collection includes about 40 discs of classical music, 70 discs of rock and roll, several big band discs, some jazz, some folk music, and some Broadway show soundtracks. I have some country as well....
-
That went well, except for the lack of some private time. Hopefully that will occur soon in Sydney!

Brant is pushing the romantic buttons and Sky is responding and trying to keep it to the promises he made himself and his parents, but as noted he is not immune...
-
Both Sky and Brant are mature for their age and their director also seems to be well grounded, so I'm hoping our leading man and co-star can get to know each other better and have time to discuss their own wants and needs in a relationship before plunging head long into one. That there is an incredible sexual attraction is already a given, but are they really compatible for a lasting relationship?

It appears the ship is in need of not just a good cleaning, but structural work as well. I suspect George will have his work overseeing cleaning, repairs and officers and crew. Who knows what additional problems the drydock uncovers. Looking forward to the next installment.

It did go better than expected. Escorial is calmer after the relocation. Will and Travis made progress. I think Will may have a harder time dealing with Austen because he cares for him....
