Proud of my family who canoed down the KY river, about 6 miles or so, in the rain, from Lock and Dam #10 to the pull out point at Riptides at I-75. Great paddle besides the rain, that I thought was not going to hit till 9:30. well bummer that. So that is about it for now.

This is not a prediction of a political shift, it is a prediction of a mental one. We have a society that has focused on the left brain way of thinking. We have taught our children to focus on left brain thinking and they will be rewarded with money and power. These are the people who have been successful in this world, people that focus on facts and figures. <div> The dreamers have been repressed, the mystic and the profit. The artistic has some monetary value as long as a left brained person can understand it. Music, though a combination of right and left brained, has a meter and vibration and is all so mathematically logical. these things are valued in our current society. <div> What if we valued right brained things, Art, mysticism, self knowledge, large world view thinking? </div><div> Well guess what, it is coming, that giant change that will shake the foundations of the earth. we will see it come down and change everyones way of thinking. it is like the 100th monkey theory. Finally enough forward thinking people will tip the scales and it will all start to change. I am not sure when, but is is soon, and by soon i mean in the next 100 to 200 years.</div><div> Better pull out that meditation book, read a book on how to achieve inner peace, read the bible, the I-Ching, Koran, Torah, whatever spiritual book speaks to you, and get ready, or you will be left in the dust. Don't read it as the literal truth, but as spiritual truth, and I hope you can grasp it. </div></div><div> Good Luck with that, and f you need help, drop me a line, I have a few good ideas, but turn off any notions as to what it all means, it is unlikely that my thoughts are anything like what you have read or heard before. </div><div> </div>funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-69973136750927201152011-01-20T20:28:00.001-08:002011-01-20T20:44:35.702-08:00Republicans are forward thinkingI have recently been thinking on the population problem and I finally realize that the only party doing anything about it is the republicans. By population problem I am referring to the massive doubling of the number of people on this planet. It will happen, we will run out of: Oil, water, power, food supplies, infrastructure, land to grow stuff on, ect. It will run out, sooner rather than later. Current consumption of fossil fuels is so rapid, we are unlikely to make it 1 more generation before we run out. In plain terms, My kids will see a time when there is NO OIL, NO WATER, and NO FOOD, for all the people on this planet. It is about resource management, and we are just not doing it. <div> Now most people would say that the democrats are doing stuff about this. they are trying to get us health care, solar power, renewable resources, power out of the hands of the few, into the hands of the many. Well I hate to say it but they are not successful. The Republicans have a plan in place for when these things occur, in fact they are depending on it to happen. </div><div> The plan is to use ALL the resources we have, all the food, all the water, all the cheep energy (basically how I look at power currently is using the power of the sun, shined down on this planet in all the years it has been here, but it was stored) We are going to burn all those resources and what will we have left? Starvation, Hunger, no power for heat, no health care for the sick, no money to help the poor... ie, finally a drop in the population of the world. </div><div> They will do the same thing they do with a company to make money, spend it's money on themselves and their friends, fire it's people to raise the stock price and sell when it is best for them, and abandon the company (and usually get a bonus from the stockholders for making them so much money). They will enrich themselves, make sure they will be in charge of what little resources we have left, and Fuck the rest of the world out of a decent place to live. They will have everything that is left, and still live a great life, while the rest of us will die, sick, hungry, poor, and miserable. And they win. The game is rigged, and it has been in the works for generations, and it is a closed party, and frankly, we are just not invited. </div><div><br /></div>funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-84607727548566466912011-01-15T16:20:00.000-08:002011-01-15T16:37:28.967-08:00political stuffOk yall, I have not posted for quite a while, but I thought I would try this thing again. As many of you know I am a very liberal minded and opinionated person. Many times I hold off on such talk to save myself arguments, unless I find a like minded person. But I think I will spout on here, and if you don't like what I say on such matters, you can not read the blog.<div> This whole debate about the lady in Arizona, her getting shot, it being blamed on the violent talk of the political people, and the media hyping the whole thing, caused a confused youth to shoot her and many more, it kind of misses the point. </div><div> A lot of people are pissed the political talk has passed by their issues. they are pissed about their lack of money, health care, access to good jobs, education, clean water, religious disagreements, taxes, or basically just the control of their life. In a nut shell, everyone is pissed, everyone is not happy, everyone wants it different. Some want it better for all and some want it better for themselves. we just want to raise our family, and have resources to make their life better than our own. and if you take away these things, then all they get is talk of change, but never change that will impact their life, they will get mad, they will get violent and eventually (especially if you do give them access to guns) will fight back.</div><div> I am not saying he was right to attack a group of innocents, or even her. but he felt cornered and felt that it was all just talk and nothing was getting better, and he took the quick way out. We need change, not talk, not inflaming speech, CHANGE! and the whole Obama change thing has just not happened because he got in there and had the harsh reality of politics pointed out. Even your own party, that agrees with you on most topics, will not vote your way, because they are bought and sold to the highest bidder and unless you have money to pay them off they will not vote on anything you want. outright bribery (or making them scared about being reelected) is the only thing that will get them to pass ANYTHING. </div><div>Makes me sad. I will have a more pointed political rant in the future, but basic gist, no policy will change unless we have money to bribe, or we stand up as a people and throw these bastards out. </div>funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-75195211642289358252009-08-30T06:21:00.000-07:002009-08-30T06:31:10.055-07:00Scouting and LifeHi everyone,<br /> Another update finaly, long overdue. First I did not make the band, never herd a thing from em', which is fine. they were older than me and did drugs and stuff, not what I am into. So I placed a Ad on cragslist, and have recieved a few responces. I am going to be writeing them all and letting them know that I am now out of the rock band thing. Beth signed up to be the new Bear den leader, so now she is going to lead Skylers den. So I have a den, she has a den and we will most likely not be on the same night. So you add that in, and add roundtables, camping, school, work, working out, training, and all the other things we do, and you come up with no time for the band. I am going to try with one group, and if it is ment to be, then they will bring me in and ill do that. Basicaly i am leaving it in gods hands. If he wants me to make music, then ill do it.<br /> Well that is about it for now. More updates once scouting gets going.funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-56751305294682158342009-07-28T15:51:00.000-07:002009-07-28T15:55:55.172-07:00Band Audition and Life<p>So I went and played with Toby and Dave from Organic edge. I felt that I did well, but my best stuff was when the amp was too quiet.... dang it. Anyway, they kept it close to the chest, and did not lead on or anything, I am one of at least 3 I know of trying for this band. So even though I did that I am also sending out E-mails to other people that have posted add's on craig's list and all that. if they were not for me then the right one will come along. </p><p> So there is that, tomarow is beer qaround the world with some friends I have met up here. always good to have friends you can hang with. So that is about it for now.

Good stuff. The kids are currently going to camp Invention, a 1 week camp where they will invent something, and they have a show at the end of the week. Then a trip for the whole family up to Michigan to catch up with family and friends. If you are in MI and want to see us, just give us a call or write, and we will try and make it by. We have a TON of people to see while visiting, cuz it has been 3 years plus since we have been in the Clarkston area. We will also be visiting Kalamazoo and then Elkheart on this trip on the last few days. Gone from home from the 13th - the 21st. Return home just in time for summer solstice. Whoo-hoo. Hope I get to see more friends.

First Work is great, they do tend to micromanage everyone, but that is not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">necessarily</span> a bad thing. I keep getting paid, which I like, My medical <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">benefits</span> will start in a week and my relocation bonus came through. Good stuff there. Direct deposit set up, bills <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">organised</span> and planed out when to pay what.<br />The kids are in one of the best schools in the whole town, I am attempting to buy a house in the school district but I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">limited</span> to just a few <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">neighborhoods</span>. the others in this schools range are 250k and up. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">weird</span> being the most broke parents at the school, but both me and my wife have been through that before since we came from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Clarkston</span> MI.<br />I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">finally</span> got my Bass repaired, now I just need to find someone to jam with. I will <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">eventually</span>, first i need a amp because <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">mine</span> was sold, and the other one is too far away (<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Michigan</span>) I may be going to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">UU</span> church, I may have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">convinced</span> my wife to attend there, but this next <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Sunday</span> is a go and the leave quick, she wants to hit a open house. Cool stuff.<br />Last thing, I will be attending class on a color copier in GA <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">instead</span> of St. Louis, and this time from May 28<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Th</span> - June 5<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Th</span>.

So getting used to Lexington, wonderfull town, and learning how to navigate around the city and the surounding areas. I had a chance to visit the American Leagion Man o war post 8 and submit my transfer to there ranks. I will likely be visiting and helping out with there bingo night once a month or so, and have been invited to show up and play with the rock band that jams out 8 - 10 every friday. May just take them up on that. I am planing on visiting a Egyptian culture exibit tonight with the family, it is free on fridays from 5 - 8 so we will go down there and check it out. Then we will grab dinner, and then hit the libary if we have time. This weekend, I am hopeing to take the fam to the UU church for sunday service. Bout all I have for now, I had a minute to update this thing and took it. Now I need to catch some lunch, hit a service call, and then study some more, I am a few hours into 6 hours of training on the new production 90cpm color copier that Ricoh has developed. I have to go to training on it out in St. Louis may 7th - the 15th. a weekend in St. Louis with nothing to do, (unless I start Geocacheing again that is) Have a great weekend everyone.funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-64637631232287908102009-03-19T05:44:00.000-07:002009-03-19T05:58:48.745-07:00Moveing DayHey everyone,<br /><br /> So today is my last day of work this week, I have friday off.

Should be a good night. If anyone wants to say goodby or wants to help, we will be loading the truck in Dalton starting at 9 am on saterday. And we should be unloading up here in Lexington that night. We will see. Please give me or my wife a call and let us know if you are willing to help.

Looking forward to hanging with someone, where I can be myself and not have to edit myself like I have to do at work. Then it is back to the appt for whatever. I just did not sleep that well yesterday and i am not sure why. Wondering if I should go back to GA this weekend and help with the move, or just wait till next week. I did just get the 20th off so I can get down there on friday and get working a day before the truck shows up. I guess Jake is comeing up the day before so he can drop off his pick-up truck, and then we drive down to Dalton on friday morning. hope that all works out, since I dont have a bed for him to sleep on I hope he brings his matress in so he has somewhere to sleep. Anyway, looking forward to tonight and hanging with a michigander, and one that is not so big on a religious trip he is afraid to have a few drinks. ;)<em> </em> I will try and post more sometime in the next few days.

VERY BORING! I am definitaly haveing trouble staying awake. I guess I will be working on this most of the day, until I complete it. So yay. I had a decent weekend, I did enjoy the UU church yesterday, but i am not suppost to "make any commitments" without my wife in tow. She is hesitant to commit to anything, where I tend to jump in with both feet without looking. There is something to be said for both methods. Namily mine is right and hers is not. LOL. No, we do ballance each other out quite well, But I am just looking to meet some decent people. But when I am lonley and alone I am accualy not a very good judge of good people. I would befriend a ax muderer, if he/she would be willing to let me ramble on and ocasionaly nod there head at me. Basicaly I am looking for a warm body to talk to.<br />I cant realy befriend any of my new co workers, best not share what i do in my personal life with people from work, if I stay mysterious it will help me work wise in the long run. I have been screwed over by coworkers that i let get to know me, way more often than ones I hardley talk to. I will keep my business associats distant from my home life in the hopes it will help me at work. It sucks, but that is the path I must walk for now.<br />Well that is about it for the current moment, I am glad i got a chance to wright a few lines here, it helped me to wake up. I hate computer based training, best to throw me into the fire and make me figure my way out rather than going this way, it would keep my attention better.

I have spent the day cleaning out my car, shopping for needed stuff, took a nap, and then working out. currently waiting on a movie to download (4 hours since I started downloading, and still going) So now I am sitting outside the clubhouse of my new <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">apartment</span>, using the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">wifi</span>, and waiting.<br /> I am going to go to the Universal <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Unitarian</span> church <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">tomorrow</span> and see what is up with them. and then I have no idea how to spend the rest of the day. but it is better than sleeping all weekend. Bout it for me. the title of this blog relates to to a song bu <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Usef</span>... formerly known as Cat Stevens.

I have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">received</span> a laptop, a EDGE device and a cell phone. Talk about <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">organised</span>, I am up and running with everything I need besides parts. Those will come as soon as I have my own tech number. All in all these people run a tight ship, and I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">really</span> excite to be a member of there team. I am a little unsure of these Canon models, (and I also learning that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Ricoh</span> copiers are not as good as I thought). I have a lot to learn in a short time and so I am doing my best.<br /> I was staying in a hotel all week, I am not out of the hotel, and carrying all my stuff in the car again. I am going to sign for the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">apartment</span>, but the power may not be turned on until <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Monday</span>. it would suck to spend a weekend in a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">apartment</span> with no power. So I may be returning to Dalton GA this weekend just to avoid that. I also am not looking forward to staying in a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">apartment</span> with only a air <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">mattress</span> and a small pillow for the next 2 weeks. A uncomfortable <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">situation</span> at best, but I will abide and hope it is all worth it.<br /> Lexington is a great town, I visited a little bookstore down off of campus called <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Sqecial</span> media, it has many <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">different</span> religious books of all faiths. one thing I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">really</span> wanted was the bumper sticker that read "My god is too big for only one religion" that is good, says how i feel very well, but I wont put it on my car. Too many religious nuts out there to give ammo to.<br /> So that is my story, please continue to pray for me and my family, and go visit my wife and Bro-in-law this weekend, they are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">having</span> a garage sale and getting rid of stuff before the move, including some stuff that I would prefer to keep. But I am not there to stop them so go grab my stuff when I cant tell them not to sell it. Have a great weekend everyone.funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-57472387031844241512009-03-01T06:03:00.000-08:002009-03-01T06:15:31.075-08:00And so, here we goHey all,<br /><br /> I am heading out to KY today to start my new job. Found a apartment in town that will be way too small compaired to my current residence, but it will work as it is only a 6 mo deal, and I will be buying a house when it ends. it is in the City map is <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=ha&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-sk-dd&utm_term=directions">Here</a>. it will do for the time being.<br /> I will be staying in a extended stay hotel for the next week till the apartment is opened and cleaned. Reviews of the appartments are not good, but again it is just 6 mo.<br /> So today I leave for my new life. I will return on most weekends of the next month. if you want a chance to se me while I am down here, call me. I wold be glad to catch up with everyone before I leave.<br /> So that is the word people, So long GA and say hey to a KY man (pun intended) :)funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-36318842839178764212009-02-17T14:03:00.000-08:002009-02-17T14:16:37.743-08:00And So Life Changeshey everyone,<br /><br /> I know I have not updated often, or recently because I had no idea where my life was going.... Now I know where, but still figuring out the how.<br /> I have a new position I am starting on March 2<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ND</span> in Lexington KY for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">IKON</span>. I am going to do the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Trifecta</span> of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">company's</span> bought by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Ricoh</span>. So that being said, i have to turn in all my tech when i leave this job on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Friday</span>. No Laptop, (home computer is grounding out on something), No Blackberry, no cell phone (besides the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">wife's</span>). I have to turn in my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">inventory</span>, tools and other things as well. I am excited and yet worried about all this, but I know it will all work out.<br /> I am bummed that I will not be here for the band "One Source", or for all the things i had planned in Scouts and with the SAL, (sons of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">American</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Legion</span>). I did so many cool things with those <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">organizations</span> and with the people I met doing them, and I will <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">definitely</span> miss all of them. I am planing on staying in contact with most of them through E-mail and phone calls. I have met some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">wonderful</span> people, and I will miss them. But in these times, (as in any times) I have to worry about income, and my family, and I feel this is the best thing to continue to support them.<br /> Please continue to pray for me and my family as we make this life changing transition, and if you are one of the friends I have mentioned above, please don't write me off, or stop calling me. I will miss each and every one of you. I will be back on the tech waggon after the move, or as soon as I fix the computer or buy another one. I will have access to my E-mail though my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">wife's</span> phone, so continue to write. Once I am back up I will send out another blog to everyone, here.... and this page will get a small update as well.

Want to get my bass fixed, it has a peice broken (the nut for the people that know what I am talking about) the rest works, but one of the guys in the band works as a repair guy and will make e a new one if I bring my bass, so that is what I am doing tonight. Then church on sunday, and getting our car for pinewood derby cut out on monday. I love that my regular life is still going, and I should hear from the Lexington job by early this comming week. I am sure the delay is due to the ice storm that is rocking there world up that way.<br />Also my Sons of the American Legon post 112 here in Dalton won the Kerby Kepler award for helping vetrans, it is a national award given out to the best squad report in the country, big stuff in the leagion for us.

I am going to drive strait there (leave at 6am, arrive around noon) and do the interview. Then a drive home, and i will stop if i get tired. Yay, 10+ hours driving. I know I am going to get a offer, but I am not sure if i will take it. If they do offer more money, I guess I will be taking the job. should be a interesting day tomorrow.<br />So that is what is going on, whatever happens in the next 30+ Hours will determine what is happening to me and my family for the rest of my life. No pressure or anything. Check here or with my twitter updates to find out more. Also if I take this new job, I will lose the laptop and blackberry I use to do updates to this blog. The home computer is also offline currently as well, bad main board. I may be able to repair it but I will need some supplies to do that. Everyone have a great week, and wish me luck.funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-32920123878676521072009-01-15T16:09:00.000-08:002009-03-06T06:10:04.693-08:00hey everyone,<br /><br />well January has been strange, we have been understaffed at work for the past 2 weeks, And I have been sick for the last 2 days.<br />I did have some good news on the job front, I have a interview next week <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Friday</span> in Lexington KY for a high end color tech <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">position</span> with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">IKON</span>. It could be a great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">opportunity</span> for me. I will drive up there and check the place out. I have as many questions of them as they are likely to have of me. this may be the job I have been looking for. I also got a call from a IT staffing company in Indianapolis, I have to call them <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">tomorrow</span> and see what they have to offer.<br />That is about it for me right now, remember my wife's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">b-day</span> is next week wed. she will be over 30 soon. :)funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-81735482250971816472009-01-03T06:48:00.000-08:002009-03-06T06:08:46.117-08:00New Year, Oh Dear!<p><p>Hey all, </p><p> I am still recovering from the new years cold, If I get my one cold a year out of the way early, it will make the whole year easier. So I have been a bit sick the last few days, but I am already feeling better. Did not do much for the new year, went to dinner with the Grey hairs at cracker barrel, came home, went to bed. I do have some resolutions, and If I put them on here, they may mean more... so here goes. 1. get a new job - duh. 2. lose weight, I think getting down to 250 is a good start. 3. finish the rehab on the knee, even 1 year out it is still not back up to 100%. and 4. become a better musician. Last but not least though it may be the easiest, 5. I want for Skyler (with my help) to finish his wolf badge for scouts before the end of January.</p><p> These are not imposable, I know that the last is going to be easy, the first maywill mean moveing, 2 and 3 are connected, doing to work for one will lead to the other. and number 4, very doable, just pick up the Bass and practice. </p><p> I may have a chance to buy some speakers for my PA, (church bought new) something I would love to do, then just a moniter and it is ready for whatever I need it for. I want to have a total setup at my house so I can have people come over and jam without haveing to bring anything. (this is including the equipment that is out of state being added, the piano and bass amp are required) oh and a drum set too, but that is for another year, or at least another house. Cant stop a dreamer!!</p><p> On the job front I did get a call for a job in Lexington KY, just a lead, still waiting on the service manager there to call. I would be working on the high volume copiers, both color and black and white. so 90 CPM and higher B&W and the big production color printers. it would also be a small raise for me, I put down I wanted 50k and they talked about 44k, not bad. that would put me ahead on my financial success meter (makeing 1k per year I am alive would pay basic expenses, I could earn 34k and make ends meet, but not thrive) I am hopefull, lexington is closer to Michigan and Indiana where my and my wifes familys are from, and make visiting more frequent, ie 3 or 4 times a year instead of once a year. (and likely a drop off of the kids at the grandparents every summer for a week or so) that would make everyone in my family very happy.</p><p> On the Socuts thing, My focus for the next bit is on Skyler makeing it to wolf ASAP! I have been focusing on the whole pack this whole year, and with the possibility of not being here to see them graduate. I am thinking about what would happen if we moved, and thus Skylers move up the ranks is the most important, and the rest of the den second. so I made a list, he is already more than half way there, and a little nudge form me is all he needs to go over the top. He is cooking a meal for the family tonight, we are haveing chicken drumsticks and corn on the cob, cooked on the grill by Skyler, in the rain. I will advise him of course, and a good meal will be had by all. a few discussions on some topics he may not be prepared for, and that is it. Most kids are not ready to explain what duty to god is, and how to do your duty. noone ever said being a scout was easy.</p><p>Well I could ramble on all day it seams, best I get off this thing, refill my coffie and get on with the day. Happy New Year to everyone.</p><br /><p></p>funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-4840000230318964032008-12-28T16:58:00.000-08:002008-12-28T17:05:15.039-08:00They did it!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005/11/25/sports/lions_fan.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 184px; height: 250px;" src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005/11/25/sports/lions_fan.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><p>Well it is about time! If the New England Patroits can go 16-0 then why cant the lions go 0-16 (0-17 they lost the last game of last year). So they finaly completed the goal of the Ford Family, the worst team of ALL TIME!!! I dont even blame the players, this is management from start to finish. alot of these players could go somewhere else and play and do a great job, but the owners and the coaches have gutted this team on defense, and they think they could still win. Just a pridiction, next year they will use there 1st round draft pick on...... a wide reciever. I see a 3-13 season next year, which up till this year, I thought was the worst a team could do. thanks Lions for proving me wrong.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /></p>funkalogic freekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10965866510538212014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678375666661341133.post-28610040816765758692008-12-27T14:34:00.000-08:002008-12-27T14:47:26.862-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.doof.com/blog/wp-content/themes/doof_retro/images/social/Twitter-48x48.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 48px; height: 48px;" src="http://www.doof.com/blog/wp-content/themes/doof_retro/images/social/Twitter-48x48.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><p><br /></p><p></p><p>I dont know how it happened, but I am already a twitter addict and it is only day 2. we will see how it works long term.
