Our Government

Well, I am goings get my windmill from china, it’s on the boat and so far I’ve heard of no fines! I’m hoping for the best, cross your fingers!

We have all been hearing about the government shut down, heck I thought it wouldn’t effect me. Ha ha jokes on me!
That’s another blog post though.
I’m just not happy with the whole mess and some are out to just make “points”
My first thought is they work for us so as in any business if they can’t do their job I say fire them send their ass home and get some new blood on capital hill that can fix this mess and are willing to work together.
As I watched sixty minutes the other day the analyst on the show is right, a country with no leadership in place that can make its economy strong and prosperous basically is weak, a soft spot for our national security.

We really need some new people with new vision of where our country should be headed.

My second thought is we should do more in this country to use renewable energy kinetic and solar.
We really need to reduce the use and dependency on fossil fuel.
It should be mandatory if we are to build a new school the it should have a solar field to power it. Gosh they spend millions and the waste!
I really hope we can pull it together

Have a great Tuesday

Fall Is Here!

As we drove off to work today headed down the lane. I noticed something different, it usually looks so, well, just happy!
See what I mean 🙂

My first thought was… Crap Fall is here!

It’s almost hard to fathom we are going to stay, the cruisers are already at anchor in our area already heading South. The big schooners will be in Cambridge for a rendezvous on Sunday.

Oh hell it’s a good thing they pulled the boat out of the water already!

As I started my work this morning I remembered why I like to tear up old houses. Some would say I’m crazy, ah heck, maybe they are right lol

But it’s a good feeling when you take a house that looks like this

And turn into this, the house is over a hundred years old.
The electrician trenched pathways through the old plaster everywhere, the trim was all messed up, paneling in many rooms and falling down plaster… What a mess to say the least

It came out pretty good, nice and clean. The house even already has a contract for purchase on it 🙂

Importing

As I got up this morning I started to read my email. I received one from a China distributor… Across the top it says please send this “ISF” to your local customs.

My first thought was was what the heck is that and it must cost money!
I called their office again ” I’m sorry due to the recent furlough our office is closed, however you may try our web site”

?!?

I looked at the website, I’m not usually one to have issues or be confused on the web but Holy Crap!

I did get as far as it must be filed 24 hours before leaving its port and 72 hours before it arrives or it’s a 5,000 dollar penalty.
And ISF stands for Importer Security Filing

Ok why the heck are you importing from china you may ask.
It would be nice to buy USA goods for wind turbines but it is four times the cost and at times are of less quality. Well for one that we would use one on a small farm.

You guessed my second thought I’m sure…. Yep I am going to work today and this is going to be fun.
I know it’s Tuesday but I missed Monday so it’s Monday part two today!

Have a great Tuesday

I’m Lovin Me Some Coon Hound!

3 Comments on I’m Lovin Me Some Coon Hound!

Everyone is off to Tennessee for a family wedding.
My middle son calls and says his buddy can’t watch his dog.

First thought, no big deal bring him to the farm and put him in one of the secure kennels.
Oh boy am I stupid!
This animal, yes animal not frigging dog, sounds like this booooooooowwwwwwwr, now say that really loud repeatedly.
Is that just plain painful or what? It did this repeatedly all night long and all morning.
I am so glad I’m leaving right behind them and will not be here to hear all this racket.
Now I understand why the coons run to get away, forget the gnashing teeth, they are running from that God awful noise!

I’m a little tired this morning to say the least. I have been dealing with China importing some items.
The time difference is our sleep time is their work time. So I get up in the middle of the night do our little chat, conference etc. and then hit the sack lights out. It’s been a little tough but well worth the trouble when it all works out.
Second thought who the heck invented or bread this animal to sound like this!!!??? Last night I set the iPad down and lights out…NO… Boooooooowwwwwwwr OMG I have had enough I’m off to work I got to get the hell outta here!

Happy Tuesday

Ps I was going to write about my new style windmills but boooooooowwwwwwwr ain’t happening.

And Loving It

We are on our way to work this crisp fall morning, about an hour drive.
Trina and I joke around finding funny songs on Pandora.
Some would say yuck what a drive, we just seem to make it fun.

My first thought as we travel this morning is… Because of what we do we are together all the time and enjoy every minute. Working, traveling or just hanging out.

I don’t know to many other couples that are together as much as we are. Some have asked “don’t you need a break?” We always laugh and say at the same time he/she wouldn’t be gone two minutes!
It seems as though we have done so much together, but those are the memories that make a wealthy soul. The memories we share as we go through life.

I don’t know why but whatever we are doing it always seems like we are on another adventure.

My second thought before I go paint today. It doesn’t take money to be happy.
Having a best friend, soulmate and perfect wife, well need I say more?

Life is good and I’m loving it!

Have a great Tuesday

Cool Weather

It looks like fall is right around the corner, the weather has cooled of considerably. I really don’t mind it makes for good working weather. The last few weeks have been super hot.

As I look across the fields this morning the pumpkins are glistening in the sunrise and the dew almost has a frost appearance. A glimpse as to what’s coming? Probably!

My first thought as I get ready to head out the door this morning is…
I was told the body can adapt to just about anything in six weeks, I don’t think I am adapting to working everyday very well and this is week eight lol. When we are sailing or working on the farm it is very hard work but not the same for some reason. Maybe it’s the deadlines, people wanting to move in to their new house, the stress of will we ever get this job finished that makes it seem harder. Because of all the work we have been doing this summer has flown by so fast.
We have taken on some interesting projects this one is large but will be satisfying when finished.
Clean, repair, stain and seal this monster of a house.

If you look to the right we started staining, Each log will be brushed three times when finished.

Trina and I were asked, do you ever stop working. And that brings me to my second thought. The answer is no, it seems as though there is always something that has to be done.
This week in the middle of the madness our sailboat is coming out of the water. It is in need of some work and needs a fresh bottom. We did get to enjoy the cruise to the hall out yard 🙂

Of course lets not forget it is pumpkin time! The holiday season will be upon us before you know it.
We have started hauling pumpkins to the stand in front of the farm. I keep saying to myself, you’re almost there it will be winter soon… Oh crap that’s right we are staying, yikes!

Have a great Tuesday

Government New post

What Are We Getting Into?

All this talk about Syria, the government that kills its own people with poison gas, or so our government says. Assad (The Syrian Leader) says he didn’t do it and our government calls liar.

But shouldn’t Obama wait for the UN investigation, or should he just call liar and bomb them?

Before you answer that China and Russia are sitting by in their warships off the coast of Syria, in a friendly manner of course, to watch how we proceed. Hmmm, sounds like a brawl is about to get underway…

Then I saw the portion of the glen beck show

My first thought was YUCK! Then I started to absorb what was being said. Now if all this is true, what the heck are we doing?
Even the Russian government is questioning what and why we are supporting these rebels. Are we going to supply another crazy rebel group? It amazes me how the people in this country seem to turn a blind eye toward this sort of of stuff that goes on. The attitude that it really won’t effect us here, others just don’t have a clue.

In my opinion we really don’t need another war. Our Country is already in a bad place, war isn’t going to help.

My second thought, because of the presence of the Chinese and Russian warships many news sources are referring to the Syrian Crisis as the beginning of WW3. And that is definitely not what I ever wanted to hear.

Wolf

In tonight’s speech to the Nation Obama has decided to postpone the bombing.
The Syrian government has admitted they have the chemical weapons. The Russians are backing a diplomatic move for the Syrians to give up the weapons and who’s on first!
