THANK YOU. Today is Memorial Day. Let's not forget what it's all about.
The American soldier. Not just the begining of summer. I intend to go down to Maine street Liberty, Maine, my
town, for thier annual Memorial Day Parade. It's a little piss-ant town and a little piss-ant parade. Most
of the kids in town are marching with some organization or other. The Liberty Volunteer Firedept (aka "cellar-savers)
will be strutting thier stuff and tossing candy and perhaps a few other local companies will participate. There's going to
be a few old cars and trucks and a float or two. Heading up the parade will be the local Amvets color guard followed
by the scouts and thier color guards. I always am amazed how few people remove thier headgear or stand when the Color Guard
passes. I have really really bad bad hair. embarrasing even. It was never trained to do anything and it grows
out all messed up, and if I can remove my headgear you can too! I will probably also attend the service at the town
church where the parade ends. I am a veteran son of a veteran and will give our lost soldiers, sailors, and airmen the
few moments of reflection they deserve. Won't you do the same?
I'm still pissed at China and won't be attending either the opening ceremonies or the actual events themselves.
All of you assholes in New Orleans who are still pissing and moaning and living on the Govt dole as a
result of Katrina need to get your act together! I'm tired of the working Americans carrying your sorry asses.
It's been two and a half freakin' years. Get over it. If you don't have a job by now, you probably have
issues besides Katrina. Did you have a job before Katrina? Must be the government's fault.
Liz and I have a garden going this year. She brought home a bunch of seedlings that she started in horticulture class
and I've been tilling and prepping the beds. So far I have the tomatos, cabbage, califlower, several types of peppers,
cukes, a couple different types of squash, celery, and an assortment of herbs, and flowers. It's been a lot of work
but I've loved every second of it. Weird how gardening effects me.
I've been playing a lot of music with my buds. You can see the update on the music page. The Rotten one will
be hitting the boards again. At this stage of my life it's a love/hate thing.
I recommend you visit the sheepdog" page.
Well there ya have it. McCain vs Obama. That's the best we could do huh?
I expect Obama will be pressured into taking Hillary as a running mate and I don't think McCain could beat the two of them
if he could ressurect Ronald Reagan. I'm not so much pro-McCain as I am anti-Hillary so you can figure I'll stick with
the GOP if she's on the ticket, but I'm not very optimistic.
OK. I tried. I couldn't do it though. The bicycle gig really sucked. I'm very very
happy to be back with Dale and the guys from Accent Concrete. We've been crankin' out some primo work.
We haven't done squat at the shop for a while. The winter was so bad we couldn't afford to heat the
damn place so not much got done! Lack of bread sucks. I may get over to the shop late this afternoon and get the
ironhead chop ready to tag and just ride it. Noone seems to like the color scheme (me especially, what were we thinking?)
The red frame and front end might look cool after I rattle can flatlack the tin. Anyway, I don't see the shovel getting
done again this season. We were just too way behind on the bills and this is going to be an expensive summer.
It would cost me over 1200 bucks to fill my oil tank once. Without firewood, I would have to fill it twice. For 700
bucks I could buy 10 cord of firewood (tree length delivered) and stay toasty for at least 1 1/2 seasons. That way the
arabs and venezualans can all go shit in thier hat. I won't be depleteing the corn supply either. Dumbasses.....
all of them.
I've got some video footage I'm going to load of the baddest go kart I ever saw and also have a little footage
of Rio Grande Mud, my latest music project to put on there too. They're a little big so I have to make room
or maybe I'll be able to clip them a little.

Seems like I'm reading about an awful lot of folks going off the deep end and killing people.
Now I will be the first to agree, some folks need killin'. But these animals are killing regular folks like you and me.
Usually it ends up with them killing themselves or getting blown away by a swat team. Is the media partially responsible
for giving these idiots so much airtime? Possibly. Has our culture and society spawned a generation without morals and
scruples? I think so. It's time we stopped coddling our kids. If you see them screwing up, give
'em a whack. At the risk of sounding like and old fart (which I suppose to some, I am), I think it was better when
our children had a little fear and respect for adults. We let them get away with so much crap, TV tells them it's alright
for them to act like assholes, the hip hop culture promotes treating women like meat, and we wonder why things are so messed
up. Smack the little bastards once in a while. Get rid of shows like Jackass and Bam. For God's sake, cancel crap like
"flavor of Love" (that is one ugly little black man), and the washed up rock star one just like it.
We need to get this mess straightend out before little Johnny decides to "express himself" with a
semi-automatic in a school near you!
Alright, I'm gonna push the publish button and send this crap into space! It's
a work in progress so bear with me and check back often! Rotten
