Memorial Day

Had my nephew Blaine over for a visit this weekend. He is teaching at a Golf camp in Richmond for the summer and had the whole weekend off and spent at our home. Unfortunately I work 12 hour shifts of Fri,Sat,Sun.

But I had Monday off and we had a little get together with our Neighbors and friends. Jake even had friends from church of the Female persuasion. I know I had a good time

Skating

Took the Family to Liberty University in Lynchburg and we went Ice skating. It was fun for all!

Have not put my skates on in almost ten years but when I laced them up and stepped onto the ice, the cheering started! The fans went wild! Both of them. Still was able skate and not fall. Luckily there were no NHL Scouts in the seats this time so my phone won't be ringing off the hook again...

Keep Wurkin

Life is good here in Virginia! Am enjoying myself, love the Mountains, starting to miss my Family and friends in the North...

January 20 2010

Having witnessed what happened in Massachusetts last night, woke up this morning feeling almost happy! But then as I am outside cutting wood and thinking that there are people out there that think it is the Governments job to "take care of us" I kind of got a little sad.

I gave up eight years of my life to serve this Country and am happy I did it! But the "citizens" that want us to be more socialized makes me angry! How can you give away your freedoms so easily?Well I guess if you never did anything to uphold them or haven't seen anyplace else that doesn't have our free way of life you wouldn't know what you were losing.

On more thing you young people out there, enjoy yourselves, you are young and the world is yours to explore. But you will eventually settle down once Mom and Dads money tree dries up and realize what a great responsibility you have to keep this place like it was when you grew up.

Man do I sound old.

November 09

Four deer in the freezer and one of them is going up on the wall hopefully. I got two with my bow and Jacob shot a big eight pointer with his muzzle loader on the 10th, and then a nice spike(135lbs) on Saturday with his rifle.

Kind of stinks filling the freezer already when deer hunting season goes until Jan. 2nd. Oh well there will be years of no deer too.

OCT 09

October brings a long awaited hunting season! Got this guy at the edge of our property with my crossbow about two weeks ago. He is in the freezer and will provide us with food for the upcoming year.

Also went apple picking with the Family which is always fun for me as I am a very simple person trying to live a very simple life.

On the other hand I also have been away from home on various trips for work because of all the new automation equipment we are getting in. So now I deal with many types of operating systems, and terms like Sercos, firmware, Elau, robotic interface, oh shit it goes on and on!

Oh well can't wait for November and rifle season.

Hey

Been awhile since I blogged, nothing new really. Another year has gone by and it is cool this time becuse we actually did a lot of crap!

The Boy got a new toy for deer season, and there are a few around! Can't wait!!!
