  • Admitting to One’s Self

    It is easy for me to admit to myself when I do a good job.  I’ll try to play it off as a humble man, downplaying the significance or quality, but secretly, I will admit to myself it is good.  I will even admit to myself and others when I have done poorly or royally hosed…

  • Other Disasters

    All disasters, big or small, have an impact financially.  If your car gets totaled because of a not-at-fault accident, you will not get what you think you should to replace it.  Going from a car that is almost paid off to another loan of $20,000 is a big impact.  The same amount might still come…

  • ARG!

    You ever have the feeling that you just can’t take one more added stress?  I am about to that point.  Even the small things, while they don’t seem to bother me, I know cause unseen stress.  I am so far behind on work around the house and at work, I’ll never catch up without spending…

  • Life Too Busy, Part 2

    What the hell happened?  I went online this morning and saw my last post was three days ago.  I swear it was only two.  What happened to one of those days?  I must have been way more busy than I even realized!  That sucks.  If I am missing such a simple thing as a post…

  • Life Too Busy?

    When life is too busy to be enjoyed, is it worth living?  Of course!  Changes, however, should be made.  The other extreme is not very helpful either.  Living in the moment, and only having fun, has its consequences as well.  There is a happy medium.  Some like to work hard, play hard.  Everyone is different. …

  • Stacking Wood

    There’s nothing like stacking a couple cords of wood to make me feel both strong and weak at the same time.  Sure, it makes me feel like I could punch an ox, but then the back starts to feel the strain since it’s been a year since I’ve done this type of work.  It is…

  • Not Such a Blur

    After getting a good nights rest, today was not such a blur.  My mind is not 100%, but it is close enough not to feel worthless.  I was able to do a few productive items today: replaced the EGR valve on the Honda and washed the Camaro.  Granted, dropping one of the bolts in the…

  • A Blur

    The last couple of days have been a blur.  I was travelling for work, and I have only had two good nights of sleep in a month.  Twelve hours of sleep in three days makes for some interesting days.  It is a amazing how much cognitive abilities are lost when sleep is held back.  Last…

  • In the Face of Adversity

    Most people like to talk the talk.  It is human nature to exaggerate a little.  It makes us feel better about ourselves while helping promote our qualities to potential mates and negate the competition.  It is only in the face of adversity do our true quality appear.  Will we wither and die?  Will we fall…

  • Ah! More Editing!

    I do not like editing these books.  I finally got done with the last bit on my end.  There is one last grammar and edit check.  Unfortunately, I do not know when that will be completed.  I would rather have a perfect product a little later than expected than a rushed one out the door…
