Burnin’ Coal
This winter has been very long and brutally cold. Just a week after getting near 60(F), we’ll be getting 6 inches of snow or so and the temps are back near 0(F) at night. I have burnt through two massive truckloads of wood, and I have been cutting down trees left and right. Sure, heating…

Chapters 8, 9, & 10
Well… Chapters 8, 9, & 10 are written. There are spurts of time where I am free to write, but they are not very often these days. Keeping busy, keeps me fit. I cannot say I’m really fit, but cutting up trees and doing physical labor makes me fitter than if I were just sitting here…

It Was Nice…
The warm weather was nice while it lasted. A few days in the 50(F)s is a welcome change over the freezing 20s we’ve been dealing with for the last couple of months. This is one of the coldest winters I can remember. With it going back below freezing this week, I could complain, but I…

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…
