Winter is here and X-mes is around the corner!

Winter is here and its been cold like heck!! but now its down between 20- 40 degrees. I hope to get some hiking and cross country skiing this year and some other winter activities.


I been setting up my work shop down stairs and Hope to get a lot of wood working done. its been a long time since I did this type of work and have to get use to it again. I think the last time, I had a work shop is 1987. Now I have a chance to do this again, it's fun to setup the shop again. here is just a fun thing to do. I am not asking anyone to buy anything on any of these wish list of mine.  It's just for fun and to keep a list for me!!   So before any one Email me or leave comments saying I am asking for these things, I am not!!  Just the type of things I am looking for   my  ;wish list:  http://www.rockler.com/basket/show_wishlist.cfm?&" title="http://www.rockler.com/basket/show_wishlist.cfm?&" target="_blank"http://www.rockler.com/basket...;visitor=11C9CC61


I am going to be setting up the lights soon and all the X-mess stuff soon. I am looking forward to doing soon. that is the outside lights, I think I will wait to I setup the tree until, maybe to the 15Th to setup the tree and inside stuff.


I hope to get my home page done but I will some day :) I been getting into my art again and hope to get a new painting done soon. other then that not to much new here, just the same old same old.


well the dumb little @#$% is gone but left all his stuff. the owners son and he brother and law and grand son went in and clean. What a mess!! he was a slob and mouthy little punk!!! the booze bottles and all his crap all over the floor and all over. He was a smart mouth kid and I didn't care for him at all. But, I have to say the grand-son of the owner is not like that at all very nice kid. I guess not all kids that age is all bad :)) maybe?? This kid didn't care about any one just lied and did what he wanted. Party was the only thing he wanted to do!! The grand son had his feet on the grand son is a good kid.


anyway, Jan 3,2005 I am taking a new course at bn.com at the Bn U. I be taking a spanish course. That should be fun and hard also. After that I hope to take french. I taking this one first because it's easer then french, So Taking this will give me the idea or in the grove of doing this type of courses.

pumpkins and fun with the kids. Sorry I didn't write for so long

Well, sorry I haven't written for awhile. Been working on other things and didn't have time to sit-down and write. I been setting up my workshop down stairs in the basement. I hope this winter, I will have the chance to work on some wood projects.


Halloween has come and gone and I didn't get one kid to my door. I guess it's not the same as when I was a kid.  We had so much candy, that we had to dump it out.  I spend that day with the kids carving pumpkins and made a straw dummy with my niece and her friend Michelle.  We had a great time doing that and stuffing pine niddles down each-other shirts :)), it made me feel young again.  Here is my pumpkin that I did that day.



It was a good time with the kids!!! Other then that all is about the same here and I hope to try to up date the blog more often. 


Thanksgiving is coming soon and that mean, Its time to eat a lot but I will try to get on before that and talk more about that.

there is a chill in the air!!!

Now winter is coming, I been getting into an Arty mood again. For awhile, I just stop because of the move and all. I hope to finish my clay work on Buddha and more paintings. It's nice to feel the cool weather, instead of the heat of the summer. So now it's chilly out, I been getting more into cooking and my art work and time to catch up on the reading.  So far I've been enjoying this new place and thing seem to be getting better for me. This time of year, I want to be out on the trail (A.T) and do some hiking, but no funds or time to go right now. The course was great and finished it yesterday and I did enjoy it. I took a course at Barns and nobles http://university.barnesandnoble.com/index.asp?nhid=bn&" title="http://university.barnesandnoble.com/index.asp?nhid=bn&" target="_blank"http://university.barnesandno...;userid=lS3FLWJAaH well not much more to say right now, not much really happened last week.  I been trying to get the sound right to record Guitar music. Every time I record it sounds bad, very open Mic sound and just not good at all. but, I am sure there is away to do it. If any of you did this before please drop me a line and tall me about it.


Bush is the man again. I am glad that Kerry didn't take it( see Photos below)
