  • No Powerball For Me

    Damn!  I didn’t win the Powerball.  I didn’t expect to win it.  I just buy tickets when the jackpot is over $200 million and/or I’m at the liquor store buying Fireball Whiskey.  That stuff is dangerous good.  Oh well.  I’ll just continue on with “Plan A”.  Plan B (winning the Powerball) would have been more…

  • Free Kindle Edition With Paperback Purchase

    Why pass up a good book?  To be honest, I have no clue why anyone would.  What I understand even less is why anyone would pass up a good paperback book when the Kindle edition is free with that purchase.  If you buy the paperback version of The Event – The Amanai Resistance from Amazon.com,…

  • It’s Just Business

    Why do people take things so personally?  As long as people do not attack me personally, I do not get upset.  I only find offense to people’s opinions when they are not based on fact.  If someone does not like my books, that is fine.  I do not take it personally.  I don’t like half…

  • One Of These Days…

    One of these days, people are going to be in for a rude awakening.  We are long overdue for a major catastrophe.  When something huge happens, it won’t matter how much money you have or what the laws that govern a nation are.  The people with the food, guns, and knowledge will be the ones…

  • WTF?

    There are many things that can prompt us to go “WTF?”.  I bought a pair of side steps for the wife’s car.  Made for the vehicle with no drilling, or so the description on the product stated.  Those direction sucked.  Not only was there a step in the instructions to drill into the car, but…

  • Chapter 7

    Chapter 7 is in the books, but Chapter 8 is slow going.  It isn’t that I don’t know what to write.  It’s the fact I am about brain dead from endless hours of meetings through the day, or I have a lot of work to do outside (like cut wood) and am physically too tired…

  • It Will Happen

    I’ve watched TV shows like Gold Rush and similar shows and have seen excavator and equipment breakdowns that seem to happen all the time.  I asked myself if they used crap equipment or just had bad luck.  I have a mini-excavator with roughly 65 hours on it, and I had yet to run into any…

  • Chapters 5 & 6

    Chapters 5 & 6 are pretty much done.  I’ve started chapter 7, but cutting wood all day in sub-freezing weather and being around sick people has taken its toll on me.  Cold medicine has clouded my mind so attempting to write any more right now would end up in a bunch of mumbled words and…

  • Not Compromising IS Compromising

    Today, it seems as though everyone refuses to compromise, but not compromising is compromising.  It’s like refusing to make a decision is actually making decision.  Everyone has their stances and their lines drawn in the sand.  It does not matter if you are a high ranking politician or a 3 year old kid.  Everyone has…

  • Driving in Snow

    So, there are certain rules one should follow when driving in snow.  The main rule is to never to do anything quickly: brake, accelerate, and turn.  There are obvious rules too like don’t drive to fast.  That 70MPH speed limit doesn’t mean a thing when there is three inches of snow over the roads.  I…
