Three hours on one chapter today and the only thing that changed was a detail. The tractor rolls forward into a tree and grinds itself to death. No driver. The men who sent a machine back in time walk up on one. Didn't know that was the point until it was on the page. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

My granddaughter snuck up behind me in my office, thinking she was scaring me. Then she told me she loves me. I asked how much. She said 1000. Big number for a five year old. Best deal I've made all year.

Took my grandson to fly RC planes today. We both managed to find the dirt. Two planes down, zero regrets, and plenty of laughs. Great day. 🛩️🔨
