Yes.. most certainly.. He came to visit us once.. we murdered Him.

Funny.. it was so that He could forgive us for all our shortcomings!

 

Fatback.. I always keep your GF in my prayers (and you too!)

 

Thank you Todd. We could use all we can get. May your blessings multiply and prosperity follow you all of your days.

Thank you Falena. I'll just keep working and living that American dream and putting the money away and hopefully we'll find a good piece of dirt. Right now we are blessed to rent a very nice place for only 400 a month. So that's helping a lot with the saving money department.

I've been doing a lot of praying lately myself. As surgery's go it is not a minor one.

But she is tough and she has come this far... I do not believe that is without reason or purpose.

 

Our little place. I may convince the landlord to sell us this. It even has an upstairs loft

 

That nice front porch? It's where I'm sitting right now

 

I'm getting there.... If I make it one day I'll be qualified to wear that shirt as well.

I go snap crackle pop like a bowl of rice krispies when I get up off of a chair.... Does that count?

 

Super Cool Indian Statue...
Definitely very nice...

 

Thank you Andrew... How are you sir?

I picked that up one day about 35 miles south of here in the next county. It was in punta Gorda Florida and someone threw it away because the arm was broke on it.... I was driving the minivan and I spied it... And I made the next turn around that I could possibly make and I went back and rescued it from the trash!

Right now I'm sitting out here watching the full moon having ridden my dirt bike to the place I posted about just recently out here in the boonies.

Bike don't fail me now because I'm not in the middle of nowhere but it sure as hell seems like it being about 8 miles away from the highway!

This time I got smart and sprayed my ass full of mosquito spray before I ever left the house. It literally feels like I'm very far away from anyone, there's probably no one within two or three miles of me from right now. If this is the last post you ever see from me tell them to go look very far from the east of my house.... I'm such a drama queen, as far as I can be certain of anything I am sure I will get home from here.

It's so very peaceful out here..
All I can hear are the creatures of the night that you would typically hear in the wilderness and even the highway is so far away that I can barely hear it

I'm really in the boonies and completely alone and I love it that way. But such is the miracles of modern technology that I can still make this post and read yours.

* Fatback knocks on wood and prays to the motorcycle gods to get home from here safely.

Because nothing is guaranteed to you in this life you might not even see the sunrise tomorrow. Knock on wood and be sure to hug the ones you love tightly

 

Okay I was wrong.. the Moon is not full but perhaps 70% or so

 

I have never owned a home in my life. Or a piece of property.

But I did buy my motorcycle brand new and paid for it 100%
... 5200 MSRP and by the time I got out of there it was a little bit over $7,000.

It took about 30% of my life savings but I own it 100%. the repo Man can't come around my house!

 

Safely back home now and the bike is parked in the shed....


Almost 2:20 a.m.

On my way out I saw a black animal, it was running along the side of the road and because I was going about 40 miles an hour and it was pitch Black I couldn't really see what it was.

You're only focus at 40 mph is to make sure that something isn't going to run out in front of you. I have been in a motorcycle wreck and you can take my word for it if you haven't..... It really isn't any fun at all.

I'm not sure if it was a dog or what, but it's about what it look like.

I'll never know for sure but I know that I am home safely and that's what matters.....thar be chupacabras to the east...

 

You're Welcome, FB...
Doing Well...I can't complain...

I LOVE Stuff like that...
That Elaborate Headdress is Totally Awesome...
Glad that you got it when you did....
Totally Unique...Heirloom Quality...
What an Epic Find...
Reminds me of the Wisdom of St. Vincent DePaul:

 

My friend... You are talking to a veteran of trash picking and scrapping.


I see the value in a lot of things that many people look right past. I have a spiritual philosophy that I believe that everything happens for a purpose and a reason and for everything there is a reason..... This world could literally run on the things that people throw in the trash every day of their lives.

I have a little bit of money now in my life but I have lived broke before... Living broke can teach you a lot of things that money will never be able to buy you.

When I look at something I don't say to myself what is that.... I say to myself, what can I use this to make?

 

I am like that too...
I love those unique things that you can find from picking through piles of trash...
Even bad ass things that I got for dirt cheap at garage sales...

 

Many years ago I watched cancer take someone.

I was 20 years old and his name was officer Pine and he was a correctional officer.

He was maybe 48 years old and in
the prime of his life. He did not come to work for several days and all of us asked where was officer Pine?

It was only about a month later that we heard that the prostate cancer took him from us.


My girlfriend was diagnosed almost a year ago. And she is still here and fighting very strongly. I have no doubt that she will continue to fight.

I am told I should not talk about the time that I spent in prison but I'm not ashamed of it... I am now 41 years old I have not been in any trouble since 2005.

In Quincy Florida in the year 2000 I had a prison guard who was named Ernest cloud... He told me that "drugs will give you a different identity."


He was very much correct. I'm not sure where Ernest cloud is today but I hope he is doing well.

 

~ Hopefully we will all make it ...
All the stunts, crashes and dangerous activities take a toll on the body. Think of the stories you can tell !

 

Fella.... How much time you got?

I have the scars and marks and tattoos to prove every bit of it!

 

~ Nobody knows ... I could be hit at an intersection tomorrow and float to the next dimension. At 68 y/o I am doing fairly well — according to my Doc.

~ One of the best people I ever knew was an ex-convict. I still think about Rick now and again ...

 

Is 3:15 a.m. and I cannot be certain that I will see the sunrise tomorrow.


Treat every single day like it might be your last day because you never know if it will be.

 

Everyone can make mistakes...
But the real question is..
.. do you keep making the same ones?

~ I did not know this. Very sorry to hear ... I will chant to the Universe for her recovery, and for your strength.
Remember people here like you and wish you and yours well ...

 

As acerbic as I can be at times, I truly wish Ill will on no one here.

I hope we all make it through this day and that we do it well. And may tomorrow be prosperous for all of us

 

My phlox clones seem to be doing well. Cloning has saved me a lot of money I don't have. I am going to clone a bunch more looks like.
