wifes

Have any of you married men noticed the point when our wifes start to act like their mother. This morning Melissa found out that there was was no diet coke in the fridge. She was like "what the heck no diet soda, Oh no I sound just like my mother"!! WEll I might be camping for this but I found it to be too funny. Be blessed.

Driving

I was driving home today when I noticed that my truck is getting louder again. I did a patch job a week or so to patched a hole in the muffler. It kind of worked but just so, it still was a patch, quieter but not like new. I used to drive this old El Camino and I used to fix or repair the exhaust once a week I would rip of off or it would break six inches closer once time. I would use just about anything I could find soup cans, stove pipes, hose clamps and wire to pug patch or reconnect it back for another week. Which takes me back to my truck its getter louder, which goes allow with life if we have this problem do you try to ix with so patches wire and band aids or should just stop cut it out and do right from the get go and be done with it. Instead of just trying and trying to mend and fix what just needs to be dealt with the right way. Just my thoughts .Be blessed

The weekend in review

Well I made through to another weekend. instead of heading north with the boys I parked myself home with my wife and the kids for nice three day weekend. Now that I have been working fulltime it’s kind of settling down the headaches aren’t that bad. I just have a hard time dealing with full drown adults acting like my children fighting over who gets what and if he did more than the next guy. This all was bugging quite a bit I how been looking for way to improve this. For most of you who know me I’m the type to sit and shout and yell to get people go and down there jobs that's just me anymore once a long time yes, now no. Listening to Tom yesterday help a lot by relating it to the people that I work with instead the people that work for me.
But the best thing that has come out of working is that I realize that there a greater need for me to go back to school and finish so that I can give more to the world than working in a big box store. be blessed

One chain saw + Ryan = a large hole in a house

Saturday I meet up will an old friend from back when I was building, he lives on a log home and way back then told me he wanted a sliding door in his home. We had crossed path a couple of time since that but just in passing. Until he called and asked of anyway I could come out work on his home, to get it ready for his daughter's graduation party and how he needed the door installed. And so I did I measured once and twice to see that I didn't miscut my opening because can't put it back after you run a chain saw through some logs. When I first fired up the saw the smell of a 2 stroke fumes was bringing right back where I was three years ago. It was like I never put a saw down. It went great eight hours later I left a huge mess and I mean huge mess. The mess I can make in just a few short hours with a saw is just huge. But Bud (the homeowner) was just as happy as could be. And would let clean up the mess. It just felt great to work on a log home again and I felt it I had never hurt my back until this morning when I was sore. But that all in the past and I all can do is look into what to come . Thanks . Be bless

life in the van

Have any of you seen that radar thing on Chicago blvd? I was wondering does that make you slow down or is it like a test to see if can outrun the car next to you and see who can be the first reach the speed limit. Years ago when my mother was in the hospital my brother and I would race down Huron Street to see who could get the highest. and now the challage is on here in town.
