Haha moment or oops wrong story

As I sit here in my rustic log cabin in the woods listening to the sound of only snaps and crackles being omitted from my fire place, and the sound of the clicking of my keyboard wondering what to put on the blank screen of mine.
I allow my mind to be released and wonder with the flickering fire light of the room. Amazed that it seemed to find a place long lost of my childhood and the things I wished to be when I reached adulthood.
Needless to say a smile came across my face as I indulged in the kid dreams of my little world and then it dawned on me…
If I don’t wake up and get my ass out of bed ill be late for work… Again.

Yea I don’t have a log cabin in the woods, the only fire I play with I must make fly and create art and unfortunately my childhood dreams have not really come to pass.

Yep this is my life but it’s nice to remember the good things from time to time…Like my kids..

My kids are kind, loving and proud.

Kind… Willing to do whatever needs to be done to help others that may not be ready to help themselves.

Loving… Able to see past flaws and enjoy a person regardless of where they come from or where they are.

Proud… Proud to be called a friend, proud of the things the have accomplished and will accomplish. Proud to be a leader rather then a follower. Proud to be themselves regardless of what the current “fad” is.

So in looking at these terrific people that call me dad maybe, just maybe I have completed my childhood dream after all.

I wanted to raise kids that where better people then I was.

Mission accomplished.

Dreams for filled.

Now I need new dreams.

New dreams filled with heart, compaction, faith and caring.

And maybe with a little luck…A cape.

Because let’s face it, every dreamer dreams of having a cape.

But all my dreams are unknown.

now onto the funny…
A little while ago it was mentioned to me that “fast food” joints or ” flipin burgers” was the down fall of the current economy.. well I have news for you…

seeing as fast food has been around a long, long time as seen here..

Now many will think that this is completely impossible but its true.
Even if today it seems to be a little more like the evil twin brother asking…

</a

I have to admit,
it is still way, way better then..

>

now seeing as the down fall was not created by joints like this..
We still need to have a little understanding.
See if your not carful you may run into this situation and not know what to do,
like..

and there is no unseeing that let me tell you..

Now still more to come.

Ever wonder what would happen if you crossed 2 time lines like…. THIS…

yea that’s right I did that, and you looked..

ok so at this point I’m supposed to say something funny and cleaver and blah blah blah ..
I’m just going to throw some funny up here. laugh it up chuckles..

Hi Tom.. hahaha..

I bring to you the perfect chuckle moment..

ready?

just kidding go away.

good night my ladies and gents of the world and don’t forget to tip your waitress..

Up side to a bad day :)

Some people say ” there’s always a silver lining “

Some people say “look on the bright side “

I have even heard it said ” the glass is half full “

I thought to myself ‘ self these people are right. You just need to look around a little and find something good that you can look forward to.’

So I did and what I found was I will never need this …

So as you can see, its not just, theres a silver lining, or the glass is half full or even that there is a brighter side to look at, at all.

Its the ability to make someone smile.

Q: Who do we all know like this?

A:  Sparklebumps.

Today Here and Now

Remember the days when fundraising was supposed to be fun.

Remember the days when you would go to the store and see the girl scouts outside asking for you to buy their cookies?

In this economy even the scouts have fallen on hard times and needed to step it up a bit.

There is a brand new sales tactic that they have implemented, the test market is in the mid-west somewhere.

So be aware when this poster begins to circulate in your area..

*

*

Maybe next time you’ll buy 2 boxes.

( this has been a public service announcement for your safety)

WTF ???

I’ll tell ya, this made me think for a second.

*

*

*

*

Then I realized they where just messing with me.

(don’t look to hard, you’ll strain your eyes)

clean intake the easy way

Ok, so as most of you know (or don’t) I’m a mechanic. This leads me to teaching my kids how to work on engines.

I decided to have them tear down and rebuild a Chevy 350.

*

*

This is a great engine to learn on. One of the best parts to remove and clean is the upper intake.

Removal of the intake manifold has several steps. Once it’s off the cleaning can begin. Most people use sanding discs, bead blasters, scrapers or even chemicals. Some people send them out and have them done.

Up here in the great state of New Hampshire we have found a better way of dealing with that greasy, oily, gunk that gets built up and in the crevices.

*********** DO NOT DO THIS IN THE VEHICLE ***********

I give you…THE NIGHTMARE CLEANING SERVICE!!!

4 leaf clover, where are you?

Ok first of all,

HAPPY ST. PADDY’S DAY TO ALL OF YOU.

Moving on. As most of you are aware, H.E. Ellis and I are family. We have 3 not too bad kids together and seeing as her and I see them as the most important people we know, we use ALL the holidays to get together. Call it required family time. So anyway, HE follows her Italian roots as most of you know. What you may not know is that she is also a bad Irish cook. Welcome to hell, pull up a seat and get comfortable. St Pat’s day is…well, an Irish holiday, in which there is drinking, games, fighting and cooking. HE is good at 2 of these; games and fighting. Drinking however is a passed out time for her.

People say that if a butterfly flaps its wing in Asia there is a wind that blows in NH (or something like that). Well the other way to look at HE’s drinking is, if a bottle is opened all the way out on Mars, she is drunk as fuck! Now on to the cooking.

I would have sworn that there was no way that a glass cooking dish would ever break under regular use, but her Irish themed dinner caused a 11″ x 9″ glass casserole dish to take its own life. I shit you not!

Now understand this is the same dish I have used thousands of times with no issue. I have dropped it from the sink on its side after washing it. NOT A CHIP. She, on the other hand was making potatoes to go with dinner and prepped the taters ok. Put them in the dish, ok. Placed them in the oven, ok. Removed to stir, now wait…   removed them placed them on the stove, turned and picked up 2 plastic spoons, approached the 1/4″ tempered glass casserole dish, I swear it looked at her and the fucking thing EXPLODED. I shit you not, the fucking thing took its own life as if to say, “You do not follow your Irish traditions, I will have no part of this, Goodbye Grandma, I love you” and fucking exploded.  I wouldn’t have believed it if I weren’t there to see it for myself.

Ok so as they say better late then never.

Seeing as I do not have 11 friends to forward this to, and the friends in the blog-o-spear have all ready completed this tag game question and answer section. I am to answer the questions I was asked by both Mr. Edward HotSpur and the lovely Ms. Megan.

First to be completed is Mr. HotSpur because it makes him feel awkward and I think that’s funny.

1) Explain what constitutes the universe, and give two examples.

Matter and I’m going with time and space.

2) What comes first, night or day?

Depends on where you start.

3) How many licks does it take?

1…2…3…Crunch. It takes 3 licks.

4) What’s your deepest darkest secret?

Not sure cant see it. Its to dark down here.

5) Have you ever done something that you regretted, or that was humiliating, and if so, what is it?

Yep, I prepaid that S+M dominatrix.

6) Do you consider yourself attractive?

Not really but the mirror disagrees with that answer.

7) How many partners have you had?

That I can remember. Only 1.

8) Where are you going with this?

All the way to the end.

9) Is there really any better flavor or smell than bacon?

Vanilla body spray from VS smells great and makes me hungry.

10) If you could have any superpower, but only one, what would it be?

Invisibility.

11) What is something that you think you should like, but you really hate?

Crapes.

Next up with 11 more great questions is a lovely young lady
