Back to my basics - or rather a passion of mine...

I've been getting a little spring fever lately.

Life...maybe...

I don't think it's so much how you start off in life, but that you do your best with what you have.

I wish...

I wish that life was different...I hope for better times.
I wish I could stand strong and resolute...it is hard to take a side.
I wish wishing could make a change...to bring about the best.
I wish I could know the outcome...then press forward with faith.

But faith is the expression of hope, which is much more than a wish, neither of which have anything to do with knowing. So I should not wish, but hope, and then press forward with faith.

Under the Counter

Its been a while since I've posted. Some times life gets in the way, and sometimes I get my priorities messed up. This blog is a perfect example. It was originally supposed to be snippets of my current likes and styles and thoughts, but lately it's been all about Mr T, which I have a blog specifically for, www.mrtdiaries.blogspot.com.


My honest mess...

The trenches of life swept silently o'er,
Mask'd villain instead,
Trivial ill weighted causes bring,
The thoughts about my head.

Zookmeld 2009 Part Deux

So I've been spending many hours in the shop getting Mr T. (my Tracker) back on the road. Now it has a different engine, a new turbo setup, an 8000 lb winch, a spool in the rear, and it is pretty sweet! Oh, I also painted the hood camo. A nice touch I think.







Blown up engine! This happened in the end of May at my first Zookmeld out by Rocky Mountain House.





















Whew! Lots of Pics...Lots of fun! eheheheh...

Today is...well, another day!

(besides being my birthday)

I was looking to see if there was any famous people who were born on my birthday...as I looked over the list(I'm sure it's not a comprehensive list of everyone born on July 28th) I realised there are lots of composers, inventors, and athletes and I thought "hmm, there sure are alot of creative, ambitious people listed here." - but then it clicked, "duh, that's why they're on the list!"

The only person I recognized at all was Ludwig A. Feuerbach(1804), German philosopher who if famous for the quote "Man is what he eats" Isn't that a profound statement, in many ways!

Some events in history:
2005 IRA issues a statement ordering the end to the armed campaign against the British
1988 IBM announces price hike on older models
1951 Walt Disney's "Alice In Wonderland" released
1943 Italian Facist dictator Benito Mussolini resigns
1943 President Franklin D. Roosevelt announces end of coffee rationing in U.S.
1914 World War I began when Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia
1586 Sir Thomas Harriot introduces potatoes to Europe

There you have it! The 28th of July, full of history.

I know it's been a while since I've posted, sorry, sometimes there are things more important than the internet...like being lazy! :)

I hope everyone has a happy Ben's birthday!!!!

On a completely different note, I found this old car today:

I guess it was loved, a lot. Maybe too much?
