During this move, I brought with me some hard boiled eggs and some cheese. I kept them in an insulated bag with some frozen water bottles. When I got to a hotel I would put them in the fridge. Around the 4 th night out on the road, I get a dream. Don't remember much of anything except the word cheese. I took that to mean toss the cheese. Which I did that morning. One of the illnesses you can get from cheese is listeria. Or salmonella. Don't need that. I'm thankful to spirit for the dream. Just that 1 word cheese got the message across. During my life I got food pois ..read more

        I dropped my lock card key into the latch. The hotel door slowly opens to a woman sitting in a chair. Damn it. I say sorry. She says it's ok and gets up to take walk to front desk. We wait. She comes back with new key for me to a room 5 doors down. The key works, but I quickly knock before entering. The lady that handed me the key laughed. I'm getting the luggage in the door and she comes walking back. She says now my key doesn't work. Back to the front desk. Not a short walk. I'm glad she had a laid back demeantor. This hotel was strange. No elevators. Initially th ..read more

        Stuff. It either owns you or you own it. My stuff owns me. The first move I did back in 88 was a killer moving an hour south. Took all my books and tools. A couple friends of mine took us all week. Those books were something. I got them on shelves I built.  When it was time to  move on 15 years later, I said no way. I got rid of half of them. This move I removed 2/3 rds of them. So me and 2 buddies of mine filled up a 26 ft uhaul. Did 2/3 rd full. Well my wife on trip couldn't take the jostle of the truck and tow dolly. With limited funds, have to Ditch th ..read more

        Moving day was yesterday. Driving a 26 ft U-Haul with a tow dolly. First time with a vehicle this big. Pull into a hotel parking lot. I unloaded some bags for the night. All ok. I go to repark. I drove thru back parking lot. I tried to make a turn to the left. There was an 18 wheeler in parked in front of me.  To my left parked a pickup truck with a boat behind it. To my rear an island with a concrete curb. I can't complete the turn. Try to backup. Keep hitting the back curb. This is happening at 9pm. Get out of truck to look at the dolly. Readjust. Must of did ..read more

       It's been 4 years tomorrow that I started this blog. We were in early stages of Covid. I believe it was created in a lab in Wuhan China. Three scientists working there came down with the disease. The wet market origin was a lie. US agencies worked with those scientists at Wuhan.  The disease cut down people with weakened defenses hard. Over 1 million Americans died due to it. And their still dying of it, today. I wear a mask when I'm in stores. I take it off when I get outside. I used to get the common cold 2 times a year around November and April. Since 2020 no ..read more

        This was a horoscope I had from years ago.   Libra ...."Use this time to sort out what it is you want to achieve this year.  Making a plan will ensure you have a greater chance of accomplishing most things on your wish list.  Failing to plan can cause you  to end up swaying in the wind, instead of being in control of your destiny.  After all, that's what free will is about ----- taking Control. "        This was made for me. I've found that having less goals is the better road to take. Anything more than 5 dilutes ge ..read more

       Getting hit in the head with bird poop is not a pleasant experience. If the bird circles round and wants to set up shop in your hair, you can do something about that. So in life one negative experience doesn't have to be a harbinger of more bad things to come. A lot of times it pays to reflect on that negative experience. Try to see what you can glean from that experience. Say you pushed your nose out a little too far into the traffic lane and you got clipped. Negative experience. Be thankfull right away. You didn't get hurt. But that lesson will hopefully teach you ..read more

        I had to take my wife to the doctor in the city on Wednesday. Had to leave early that day. I usually use the bathroom between 9 and 10 am.  I had to leave at 8am. I was worried about this. But Wednesday morning came and I used the bathroom at 7:20, which never happens. I was happy about that, as well as thankfull. That was a load off my mind. So spirit knew ahead of time what my predicament was. And answered the call. So spirit becomes involved with the nitty gritty in the affairs of us. Looking after us in the most mundane of all actions.     &n ..read more

        Went away in the beginning of November last year. My dumbell exercises came to an end the way I use to do them. I brought a 20 pound dumbell with me. I found that I got a little weaker. I  started to do 25 reps on each arm each day. I found that I started to get strong again. After I got back 2 months later, I resumed the dumbell but now I do 103 on the right arm and 113 on the left arm the less dominant one. I also do 20 reverse dumbell lifts each arm. Sitting in my chair,  I lift  my weight above my head and hold it there a count of 65, each arm.. I ..read more

        I was doing a job last week. I had to get in this crawl space. The wall went up 2 ft from the ground. Then the opening rectangle was 2 ft by 4 ft. Trying to get in that opening was not easy. I decided to takeout 1 cinder block. I have my cold chisel and start on the 8x 16 inch block. Slow going trying to chisel out the block. I ask spirit for an assist. I keep banging away and I notice the block start to loosen up a little bit. My leverage bar helps me out. Thank-you  spirit with the block problem. I know that If I didn't ask, it would have taken me another hou ..read more
