39 with Flat Bed.wmv

The truck is shaping up and soon will be road worthy. I am still planning to drive it to Richland WA. Never gone that far in a Hot Rod before, so I need to make sure all the bolts are tight. Might make it a 2 day trip up and a 2 day back and a week to rest while I'm there because I am only 7 years younger than the truck.

Threats from the border

First of all, I'd like to thank the nice couple that donated the money to get this website off the ground. I have volunteered my time to help with the cause down on our southern border. I have launched the official US Border Guard website at www.USBorderGuard.com. The US Border Guard is a group of volunteers headed up by J.T. Ready to combat the very real problem of human and narcotic smuggling across the U.S./Mexico border. This is no joke. These Border Rangers patrol an 80 mile area just south of Pinal county, AZ and have actually made contact with smugglers and armed 2-legged coyotes (human smugglers). As a USBG volunteer myself, I feel a certain rush when being directly involved with the security of my country, even if I am doing it from a living room in Tennessee. If you feel the desire to donate, please, visit the website and check out what the USBG is really all about.

Victory through Support!

April Snowshowers

The snow was finally melting...temps were getting into the 40's, life was starting to feel worth living again, and then I looked out the window this morning........

I have grown so weary of living here...two years to go.........

It was about 3 inches of new snow....

A week in the SUN

Just got back from St. George. We took Sam and his friend Cory, they had a great time. We spent a whole day in Zion,s National Park( A park ranger caught Val and Kreyton throwing M&Ms off a scenic overhang) . And to top off the whole week, I took the boys to Vegas Friday to watch the first round of qualifying for the NHRA nationals. We were lucky to see the falls in Zion's. A couple we met, visit the park several times a year. They have been doing it for years and this is the first time they have seen the falls pour over the cliff.

THE LAST PIECE OF CAKE

There it sets. It is one of those cakes you can only find at a Safeway store. It is the frosting and the cake texture that sets it apart from other cakes. Anyway it was the first purchase we made when we got to Richland. I watched it disappear over a week’s time. There was a day when I indulged in such pleasures but that all ended when my normal life ended last July. Now I watched like Harley with her drooling jowls as others devoured it.

Chopped 39 Ford Truck

I got my denial overturned. I'm not such a bad guy after all.
