  • The Alternator

    Today, is the fifth day since the alternator in the Rodeo started going bad. It is intermittent, and keeps going out. We bought a new alternator for the Rodeo. Honestly, though I think the new alternator will just go bad in six months. I have KCBI off, now. Because I don’t like how things are going right now. I called the Navy, and got a voicemail for HM1. He is supposed to call me back. Meanwhile, for lunch I had Whataburger. The number 13, which is the Whatachicken strips. Yum. WordPress doesn’t know what Whatachicken is. But it is ok, I just ordered it. Then, I stopped at MR. T’s (The Lake Shop) and bought cigarettes.

    I was almost out, so I bought a package of cigarettes. Ought to last me for about a day. When I don’t have to work I usually smoke less. But somedays, I just smoke and smoke. I think today is not an “I smoke and smoke” kind of day. Even though I have been thinking about Stephanie again, so it is hard to tell. I sure miss you, Stephanie. Wish we could chat.

    Anyways, The Rodeo’s alternator went out. I believe it was Friday. Right before work. My Dad ended up taking me to work, and picking me up after I got relieved. The next day, my Dad encouraged me to drive the Rodeo. It seemed fine to him, the alternator light didn’t come on. The lights that come on for the alternator are the brake light and the battery light, for the Isuzu Rodeo. So, anyways, the battery died later that day, because I was running it thinking it would be ok. But in the end the battery died, so my Dad brought a freshly charged battery out. I just kept from running the battery until it was time to leave.

    When it was time to leave, the alternator had cooled. I think. So, I drove home, no problems. But the brake light and battery light flashed on for a bit as I drove home. My Dad drove it again, the next day, same thing happened. He tried taking it to O’Reilly Auto Parts, to get the alternator tested. But the light stayed off again. So, he encouraged me to drive it to work, and not idle the Rodeo. So, I spent a large part of the day in the heat. I was able to sit inside UNIS for a while. But then, Charles came, and I wasn’t sure what he thought of me sitting in there. So, I left and started roving again. By this time it was much hotter, and I kept on having to wipe my eyes of the sweat.

    This was on Sunday, so my last working day. I went and was able to make it to QT to get coffee, and some snacks. Which kept me until the morning. After Charles left, I went back into the cool air in UNIS. I waited to see if anyone else would come, but no one did. So, later that night I was able to charge my phone in UNIS. Instead of charging it using the Rodeo, then I went out and watered the bushes that I found that were dying. I did this three times.

    The other day, we went by O’Reilly’s to get it tested again, but the lights didn’t come on. Instead we bought a new alternator to replace the defective one. But I am thinking, that we will need to do it again in six months. Milt’s Auto is going to replace the alternator on Wednesday. They said they would get to it, before the close of business. My Dad made an appointment, this is when I found out he is going out of town for the weekend.

    I talked to my therapist, Mrs. Vicki Walls, and Taher today. I went on and on about Stephanie. Her name is no longer Stephanie, but she does not allow me to call her by her new name. As she said “Hearing Stephanie is light a kick in the gut” I am remise to even call her a name. Maybe I should just call her by her pronoun until we get this thing sorted out. She made me think that Persephone was a different person. So, I am a little bit confused when I write about her. Stephanie. Thats like my favorite name too. I like the “ph” sound, and how it is done using two letters. I have seen the name “Tiffany”, which does have the “ph” sound, but not the “ph”, that I have ever seen. So, I think that she is a genius because of that name. I wish she would let me catch up with her, so I could understand about her new name. I really like it. It keeps the “ph” sound, but almost has it at the beginning too. Double the genius, if you ask me.

    Well, I have made it clear, that I miss Stephanie. But does she miss me? I wish I could know that. Then, maybe it would break my heart enough so that I wouldn’t think about her. Because of my intent to pursue this matter, I have made a video. I am uploading it to YouTube right now, and once it is uploaded I will share it here. It really just says, “I miss you Stephanie!”. You are my yen to the yang. I would like to say that you a truly a blessing from God. But you lied to me, and I am hurt by it. Nevertheless, I miss you!

    I called about the Navy today. I got the voice mail of an HM1, and I left a voice message. I let the reason I am calling, and my phone number. I hope to hear back from HM1. This MRR has really muddled things up with the Navy. Oh, well. I still managed to see Top Gun: Maverick , with Tom Cruise. It was such a good film, it is clear Tom put a lot of work into it.

    Here is a video I made about you, Steph. I miss you. I used to could write a small book about you. Now, it seems as though my cousin could write a New York Times Best seller about you. You always made Texas seem special. You even made being alive feel special. I hope you like the video.

  • Going To Get A QT

    Going To Get A QT

    and I saw two cops parked where the gas pumps are. Then, when I went inside, I saw both officers. One officer was from Pantego, and the other is from Dalworthington Gardens. They were talking to the attendant. I was glad to see the police out, becuse I back the blue. The police are just doing there jobs, but higher up in the government, unelected bureaucrats make the laws. Anyways, I got my QT and a snack for Max. Then, before I left QT I smoked a cigarette. I sure smoke a lot.

    Anyways, I updated my other blog already, but I still felt like writing. So, here I am. As I drove home, I was thinking of things to write about. I thought of a few things.

    Scott was supposed to come over today. Which is why I did laundry, so that I would have something clean to wear. I was low on underwear and socks, and my Mom helped me out and bought me some of each. I was so glad. But anyways, I met with Scott yesterday at Captain D’s. I ate my dinner, and talked with Scott for a while. Scott had a chicken sandwich, while I had hand battered cod. My favorite at Captain D’s. Scott never came over today. I wonder what Scott is doing, then. He must have gotten busy. Maybe Scott found a girlfriend. I just hope he is happy.

    Psalm 78:52 But he led his own people out like sheep and guided them like a flock through the wilderness.

    53 He led them safely.

    I wanted to share a scripture, because I have not done that in sometime. I like to include scripture in my writing, because I believe it honors God. 99.9% of religion is bullshit. But call on the name of Jesus, and you will be saved. That is what the scriptures say.

    I am all about sharing the truth with people. Heaven is real. Hell is real too. Each day we are given is a chance to know Jesus and to repent of our sins. As Dr. Robert Jeffress says, “I order to repent of a sin, you must first acknowledge that you have sin”.

    Dr. Robert Jeffress

    I downloaded the KCBI app onto my phone finally. I found a link, in an e-mail and it took me to the KCBI website. There, I found another link to download the app. Now, I can listen to encouraging music on my phone, as well as on my radio. So, I can carry encouragement wherever I go. I like KCBI, it helps me to feel close to the Lord. It is a part of what I think is a growing relationship with God. With the savior, Jesus Christ.

    Moderna has come out and compared the COVID-19 vaccine to an iphone, claiming you will have to get a new one every year. This is according to an article from Business Insider. Now, they were freaking out about COVID-19, but now they are so casual about how they talk about it. But they assume everyone is going to get the vaccine. I have made a personal decision to not get the vaccine. This is because, all of my life, I was forced to get vaccines, whether I wanted them or not.

    Stéphane Bancel predicted a single-shot vaccine that protects against COVID-19 and flu strains.

    Rebecca Cohen

    As you can see, the hustle and bustle over COVID-19 was much-a-due about nothing. We all had to pretend to live in fear. It is ironic how paralyzed that the government was, and still is by a flu virus. Why this one? That’s all I gotta ask. If you ask me, It is time for term limits in Congress. They are playing power games.

    I have decided not to get the vaccine. Unless, I need to get it for the Navy. I am hoping to go back Active Duty. I am currently a non-drilling reservist with the Navy. In the end, I may have to still get the vaccine, but I have been dedicated about not getting the vaccine otherwise. Originally, I was going to get the vaccine. I got my first dose of Moderna. But slept through my second dose. I considered it providence. Don’t believe in Providence? Well, I have a quote for you, then.

    Harassed as we are by unrelenting persecution, obliged by every tie to repel violence by force, urged by self-preservation to exert the strength which Providence has given us to defend our natural rights against the aggressor, we appeal to the hearts of all mankind for the Justice of our cause. Its event we leave to Him who speaks the fate of nations, in humble confidence that, as his omniscient eye taketh note even of the sparrow that falleth to the ground, so he will not withdraw his countenance from a people who humbly array themselves under his banner, in defence of the noblest principles with which he has adorned humanity.” George Washington, Military Journal, August 1777; “A Military Journal during the American Revolutionary War, from 1775 to 1783,” James Thatcher, MD

    Compliments of George Washington Society

    George Washington believed in Providence, and here he is quoted talking about it. It is such a refreshing thing to see a quote from George Washington, because he is the Father of our nation. I just wanted to share the quote, to back up my argument that it was providence that played a hand in me not getting the vaccine. At least for now. Providence is God.

    Well, last but not least, I wanted to talk about the image I chose for my post. I chose it because I like trains. It is such a neat picture. The picture makes it look like it might be in Florida somewhere. Because I remember from being in Florida, that it was flat. You can see a house in the background, which I think is a nice contrast to the train in the foreground. That is all for tonight. I hope you enjoyed reading my post. I tried to cover something from my day, something happening in the world, and some art. Which is why I included a featured image.

  • Expecting

    Today I am expecting to hear from my therapist. Mrs. Vicki Walls, and her associate Taher. My Dad did the dishes and cleaned the coffee pot. I worked, and was so tired because of it. I could still use some sleep. I am uploading a video to YouTube. The Navy was going to administratively separate (adsep) me. The witchhunt against Trump continues.

    I expect to hear from my therapist soon. In just a few minutes. We communicate using Zoom. This was a procedure created during COVID-19. Taher, my therapist’s assistant also joins us on Zoom. He has been more active over time. I am not sure what we will discuss today. It changes, sometimes I know what we will discuss. Perhaps some about the Navy. Other conversations about life.

    My Dad did the dishes. Then, he washed my coffee pot. It looked brand new, that’s how clean it was. Inside and out. My Dad cleaned the sink, and cleaned the countertop as well. So, this morning I made sure to take out the trash. Not just because my Dad cleaned everything, but I believe my Dad needs some help these days. My Dad has been cleaning up a lot at the farm, so I think that has taken a toll on him.

    Wednesday was when I last saw Scott. I saw him at Captain D’s. A local seafood chain. Scott and Steve now both work there. I ate my dinner. I ordered the two hand battered cod with double fries. Thats my usual meal at Captain D’s, although I did try the spicy handbattered cod the week before. I wonder how Scott is doing. Now that Scott is working, he hasn’t been over as much. Maybe this is a good sign. I am always worried about Scott. He has seizures, and this always concerns me. They can cause brain damage, so it must be a struggle for him.

    I downloaded the KCBI app while I was at work. I will have to do a blog post on that, because I kept hearing about the app on the radio program. But had never tried it. Then, I found the website, and on it was a link for the app. I am so glad, now I can carry the word of God with me on my phone. I love to listen to there programming.

    Last Thursday, or the week before last, I got a call from the NOSC CMC. He said that they were trying to fill out an Administrative Separation because I had been UA (Unauthorized absence) from the Navy. The Adsep, the CMC said, was incomplete. I said, “I could be drilling?” Then, I explained how Medical had put me on a non-drilling status. He called me, but then I had to call him back. So, then on Tuesday last week, I called him back, and found out that the CMC went down the rabbit hole on me. He explained that indeed, I was not supposed to be drilling, and that they will square away my account. So, I don’t know if I am going to get some money, or what. Also, the CMC explained, that Medical is supposed to be reaching out to me. So, I hope to hear from Medical soon. I have been trying to go back Active Duty. But because of MRR (Medical Retention Review) I cannot go on Active Duty. That is the latest from the Navy Reserves.

    I like to put videos on my YouTube Channel. I record game play, and then upload it to my channel. I recorded myself playing some Hearts of Iron II, and I am now uploading it. Actually, the uploading is completed. Now, YouTube is doing a copyright check. Soon, I will post a link to it here on my blog. Hopefully, some of you enjoy that game, because I know I do.

    This is the thumbnail I chose for my video. It shows how many units I had for the invasion of the SU. I had over 107 units. But somehow, all of my units ended up around Moscow, as the Soviets had 50 units in Moscow. But right before I completed an encirclement they withdrew all of there units so they only had five.

    The Witch Hunt Continues

    The Trump residence at Mar-A-Logo was raided by the FBI. In an article on Yahoo! News, I saw where 30 FBI agents raided the residence of former President Donald J. Trump. This happened on Monday. The FBI has continually hunted Trump. This is but a foreshadowing of the hunt against everyday Americans who supported Trump. If they can and will raid a former President’s house, then who are we? Were nobody. Trump is still in the fight.

    Here is an article about the former Secretary of State and 2016 Presidential candidate Hilary Clinton: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11095543/Hillary-Clinton-taunts-Trump-FBI-raid-plugging-32-hats.html where she taunts Trump with her own hat. That boasts about her deleted e-mails. Some people are just loved and admonished by the Federal government, no matter how evil and corrupt they are. Meanwhile, Trump, a former President, is under the thumb of his own personal witchunt. Lets see the FBI raid Nancy Pelosi. I thought this was the “left right paradigm”, yet Trump was raided by the left-wing FBI. This is like something out of Nazi Germany, not America. It is incredible what our corrupt evil government gets away with, but the champion of the Middle class, Donald J. Trump, they persecute. This is but the tip of the iceberg on a much larger war against the Middle class of America.

    Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Israel, rockets rained down. This was according to Jay Sekulow. Lots is happening both in America and around the world. I stand with Israel, so I included this by the ACLJ. Meanwhile, President Biden continues to send our tax money to the Palestinian Authority(ACLJ, 2022).

  • Uber Eats

    Uber Eats

    I signed up to drive Uber Eats. I already had an account. But had to do a back ground check, and add my vehicle, the Isuzu Rodeo. Its making some money. I like driving Uber Eats. My Dad actually showed me how to do it, so I know how to drive Uber Eats because of him. Also, I got a call from a Master Chief regarding an Administrative Separation.

    I like the challenge of driving Uber Eats. Plus, it supplements my income a little bit. Between being a Security guard and driving Uber Eats I should be able to save for a car, or perhaps to repair the Kia Spectra. The fuel efficiency of the Kia would be preferred for delivering Uber Eats.

    There is the Kia Spectra. It has two problems: No AC, and the car goes into safe mode when driving. Which makes it difficult to drive on the highway. But if I can save some money and repair the Kia, it would be a lot better than driving Uber Eats with the Rodeo. Driving Uber Eats with the Rodeo is dangerous. According to Progressive’s Snapshot, I made 14 hard brakes.

    Another thing I enjoy about driving Uber Eats, is that I get to help people get there food, and feed the hungry. When people are satisfied with there deliveries, they usually tip. I like those tips. They make up for the gas.

    Driving Uber before the pandemic and driving Uber after the pandemic are two different experiences. When I drove Uber before the pandemic, there were dead times, when no one was ordered any food. After the pandemic, it has been constantly nonstop. When the app is on, I cannot even stop for a cigarette break hardly. I can decline an order, and seconds later I have another order.

    The sweet spot for delivering Uber seems to be about 6 AM. Six AM is when every one wants there coffee, and donuts. Breakfast burritos and omelets. Of course, you cannot forget the classic McDonald’s breakfast as well. But even tonight, I still ended up making quite a bit, because of tips. I have a guaranteed trip rate of $280 for 35 deliveries by August 5. I have ten more deliveries to do until then. So, it is not to challenging. It is rather relaxing, yet challenging to deliver Uber Eats.

    I am listening to “Awesome God” being played on the radio. I listen to KCBI 90.9. They are a local radio station, Christian but they also have an app called KCBI. I like hearing Awesome God because it makes me think I am headed in the right direction. Or maybe that I just need to remember, God is awesome no matter what happens.

    With the Navy Reserves I currently have an Administrative Separation package for being UA from my drills. I missed a total of 28 drills. Yet, I was told by Medical that I was a non-drilling Reservist. I talked to a Master Chief today about it. He called me, but I missed his call. So, I called back. I did not realize a Master Chief had called me. I saw that the phone call was from Texas, not labelled as a scam.

    I don’t know if this is the result of the involvement of BM1 Larson, or if this is something independent. I hope that I can appeal my case somehow. The Prior Service Recruiter BM1 Larson, in Florida, had me call her last week. She tried to get me to join the Reserves. But I explained that I was already in the Reserves. She then explained she would help me find out what was going on with my MRR. My Medical Retention Review. So, a lot is going on with the Navy. I am dismayed that I missed all those drills, and I could have been going to drill all that time. Now, if I get a chance to make up my drills, thats a lot of drills, it makes me want to go Active Duty even more. Hopefully, this Master Chief will help me sort this out and I can continue to drill, or go Active Duty. I will try calling again. But first I need to call BM1 Larson.

    Anyways, thats a lot going on. First, I am working as a Security Guard. Then, I am driving Uber Eats. At the same time I am dealing with the Navy. All I can really do is pray, and hang on tight. Remember, “Our God is an Awesome God!”

  • Listening to BCP

    I have been listening to BCP. The Black Conservative Patriot. I am always impressed with the truths he has to share. Especially about Trump, and how Trump is the subject of a broad witch hunt to prevent his running in 2024.

    Here BCP is talking about the mid terms, coming up in November. The possibility of Buttigieg, Transport Secretary under Joe Biden, running in 2024. Also gas prices, which are so high right now. It is incredible to watch the gas prices climb. If you watch it, please like and subscribe. BCP puts out the best stuff. He is pro-Trump, and in touch with reality. BCP began as an economics major working for Bank of America, and now broadcasts as BCP. So, you get some good economical news from him. BCP is now talking about the Hunter Biden laptop.

    Today I go to work. I am happy. I enjoy my job, and I am suited to it. As an Aspie, I think I do an incredible job as a security guard. The work has picked up lately, as my role has emerged as a bit of a third party at work, where I’ve been passing along keys to the front desk.

    I played Eve Online, for a while. I played through some missions. My goal was to get my Amarr Rep up so I could run lvl 2 missions for Amarr but my Gellante Rep is hurting. So, I will just enjoy running the lvl 1 missions for now.

    I am still looking to do Security +. I filled out the FAFSA.gov. Thats the address to fill out the Fafsa. Just google “FAFSA.gov”, to find the FAFSA link, otherwise you will be sent to a false link. I qualified for a Pell Grant that looks like it might pay for a CyberSecurity Boot Camp at UTA. I may also fill out the Sallie Mae still, because it does get me an exam voucher. Otherwise I will have to save a lot of money to get the exam from CompTIA. I hope to start the Cyber Security Boot Camp in September. But first I need to file for the Pell Grant. I am not sure how that works, so I will let you know once I am able to file for it.

    My Facebook Was Hijacked

    That’s right. Unfortunately, my Facebook was highjacked. So, I am having to build a new Facebook. It is taking a long time. I doubt I will ever recover my Facebook to where it was before it was hijacked. I tried everything to recover the account, to no avail. I even sent in a picture of my drivers license, and they were not able to identify me as the original account owner.

    What happened was, that just after my account was broken into, the hijacker changed the e-mail address from mine to his. Well, I was able to add my e-mail address and receive a code. But before I could enter the code, the e-mail address was switched to the hijackers account. So, there was nothing I could do.

    his is so frustrating. I just smoked a cigarette and realized the enormous task it will be to build a new Facebook from scratch. For instance, Christian Liberty Academy is no longer available as a high school, under the “where I went to High School” option, and I cannot just generically put “Homeschooled” either. I was both. I went through the Homeschooling program of Christian Liberty Academy.

    Each day that goes by, I thank God that I know you. Thanks for reading my blog, it makes it worth writing. Of course, I would write if no one read my blog. As sometimes happens. But that is ok. I also like to read other people’s blog. If you have a blog, and want me to check it out, please just put a link to it, and I will check it out. I like to leave a comment sometimes too. Well, have a nice day.

  • The Rodeo and Security+

    The Rodeo is currently malfunctioning. It keeps going in to “safe” mode, and getting stuck in third gear. My Dad is trying to install a safety switch to fix the problem somehow. I am not sure how it works, but it sounds like it will keep the Rodeo in third gear. I am also beginning to study for Security+. I wish I had thought to do this sooner. But as it is, I really need to study for it, so while I save my money to take the exam I should get plenty of study.

    I do not know much about working on vehicles. But my Dad is good at fixing the ones he has. So, he is working on the Rodeo. Hoping that a safety switch will help, he is working very hard on it right now, even though it is hot outside. Each day, something just seems to go wrong with the vehicles. Mind you, the Rodeo is twenty years old. But I don’t know, eventually I will have to pay something to keep the Rodeo going, and I am afraid it will keep me from being able to take Security+.

    I am going to take Security+. The exam I am going to take, is actually SY0-601 by COMPTIA. The exam is 90 minutes long, with a possibility of 90 exam questions. I have been researching my options in taking this exam. Both in taking it and preparing for it. UTA has a pretty interesting program, called Cyber-Security Boot Camp. It is a 24 week to 28 week long program, that immerses the person into the cybersecurity community, it includes 5 to 25 hours of study, including labs, and two mentor sessions. The UTA program does not accept the GI Bill.

    The UTA Cybersecurity Boot Camp does not accept the GI Bill. So, in order to pay for the program, there are two options. One is to pay upfront, which is over seven thousand dollars. The other option is to take out a loan with Sallie Mae and with that option you get a discount, plus an exam voucher. I talked to my Mom, and she suggested filling out the FAFSA and seeing if I can score a grant. Then, I could pay directly, and maybe pay for an exam as well. When I googled Security+ UTA’s Cybersecurity boot camp came up as the first option. Here is the link: https://uta.quickstart.com/bootcamp/cybersecurity/landing/?utm_campaign={CampaignName}&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=unbranded&utm_term=infosec%20certificate&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtvqVBhCVARIsAFUxcRtLyhTAR4FP_sE-hOMoGtRnzOgR1f6XcxPYqkbBhUv5Cw0BUvyADa0aAvXXEALw_wcB.

    The UTA program is 100% online. It is flexible with self-paced study. But you need to study a bare minimum of 5 hours a week, and up to 25 hours a week. After graduation, you would have been prepared to take the security+ exam, plus it prepares you for the real world of dealing with networks, programming, and other subjects related to IT. CompTIA has its own program for studying for the exam. Here is a link to the offer: https://www.comptia.org/landing/securitybootcamp/ . They offer a Boot Camp which is ten days long. But this one is just for the exam. I really like this one, too. Ten days of Security+ training, plus access to the labs for a year, an exam and an exam retake voucher.

    You can now take Security+ exam online now. On top of these resources, another resource that was recommended by someone in the Navy Reserves is Professor Messer. He did a series of YouTube videos on Security+. He covers the exam objectives. He also offers a book, with practice exams. So, these videos will hep in studying for the Security+ exam.

  • Work Tonight

    I just wanted to pop on and briefly update my blog. I work tonight. It is going to be hot out. I cannot describe for you how hot it is. It will probably be this way till November.

    I tried to call Billy. I was using his work number, but I found out that he thinks I am associated with his family. Like, I haven’t talked to anyone from the Robinson clan in years. I tried calling Billy but he had his phone off. Maybe he doesn’t ant to talk right ow, and I might be forcing things. He doesn’t trust me. I sure miss the Robinsons but have not heard from them in years, as I said. I just texted Billy, and told him how I have been thinking of him all this time. Billy used to live in Virginia, but now he lives back in Michigan. Here is a link to Billy’s webpage. Here is a picture of Billy:

    Billy works at Second Story Counseling in Grand Rapids. He did a lot of school for this. I always thought Billy would make a great counselor. Now he is doing his calling I believe.

    Not much else going on. Other than working, and tonight is the night I start working the weekend. I am glad. I will be earning money. Its hot. Even though it is hot, I still gotta go. The Bible tells me, this suffering is for a reason. I don’t understand the reason, but I will trust God. Hopefully on Monday I can get the Rodeo dropped off to checkout the AC.

    Roe vs. Wade was overturned this morning. Finally. Now, instead of the Federal Government shoving this horrendous practice down our throats, we can actually tell our states whether we want the practice legal or not. Supposedly, there will be riots. I guess the fuse is lit. In my own opinion, abortion is modern day slavery. They got rid of slavery, and replaced it with abortion.

    I was on EntertheStars, and there was a post about Roe Vs. Wade being overturned. I credited Trump with this. I got this reply: “so your thanking a Jesuit Apollo worshipping luciferian. Got cha. You have zero clue sir. Drumph is his real name. Did you know that ? If not you have ALOT to unlearn fast. Turn off your tel lie vision and do some damn research I’ve had it with y’all blind and deaf fake believers” I lol’d. The shills are coming out of the wood works, ready to strike now that there favorite law has been overturned. So, I lol’d the post. I mean, to call him Drumph? Lets make fun of your name, and see how you like it. Obviously, a shill or troll. Here is where you can see the post. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1767810223231042/posts/5616132821732077/?comment_id=5616155285063164&reply_comment_id=5616437158368310&notif_id=1656104294759294&notif_t=group_comment_mention

    Yesterday, on Wednesday, I stopped at Captain D’s. A local sea food restaurant. Like Long John Silver’s. But this one is different. Scott started working there. Scott invited me to come eat, so I decided to go ahead and try it out. It was very good sea food. It had my favorite sea food menu item: fried cod. With Freedom fries. Yum. Thank you Scott.

    This is a picture of Scott. His twin brother, Steve appeared to be working at Captain Ds as well.

    Anyways, Bob, on Facebook was interested in seeing my blog. So, I am going to post this so I can share the link to Facebook. Then, I can share it with Bob on my phone. So, Have a good day. It would be so good to hear from you.

  • Banned On Facebook

    Today, I am feeling expectant. I received my Nintendo DS. But I am still waiting for my car charger. I guess whoever shipped it is slow. I ordered it through the Wal Mart website. I am happy, but un happy with product delivery. I got most of my product including my games. I was banned on Facebook.

    Yay! I received my Nintendo DS. I ordered it through Wal-Mart’s website. I found it very convenient, as this was my first time using Wal Mart’s website. The primary product I ordered, the Nintendo DS arrived on time. The games arrived about a week later. For games, I ordered a cartridge with 500 and 1 games on it. I also ordered Pokemon Pearl.

    I received my Nintendo DS, but no games. There is a retro store over near Albertsons. So, I went to the retro store and looked to see what games they might have. It looked like they had Zelda, but I bought SuperStar Karts. By DreamWorks. It turned out to be a rather fun game. It was a racing game, with Shrek and other characters from that movie. So, that kept me entertained until the games I ordered came.

    Now, as I said, I am still waiting for the car charger. That will improve my situation tremendously. Then, I can actually charge it while I play and get more time out of the battery. I cannot wait for this last item to arrive.

    Last but not least, I was banned from Facebook for forty-eight hours. This happened on Wednesday, so by tonight I should be able to post again. I hate getting banned. I stick up for the truth, so when I get banned a voice for the truth is silenced. But Trump is banned from Facebook permanently. It is sad how Trump can no longer be received on Facebook, yet all these viol pictures are allowed on Facebook, anti-Semitism is allowed on Facebook. Maybe it is time for me to leave Facebook.

    Sunday, May 22 2022

    Today I caught Dr. Robert Jeffress sermon this morning. I cannot remember much about it. Though I know he taught the truth. I will catch him again tonight. While I work, I enjoy listening to Jeffress’ sermons. I have been trying to get my money back from Natalie Jones. In the mean time, I looked at buying a Nintendo DS.

    As I rested, and listened to the sermon, I got the distinct idea that he is still teaching about Jesus Sermon on the Mount. What Jeffress calls, “Eighteen Minutes with the Savior”. I listened to it, and felt spiritually refreshed. The First Baptist at Dallas really pulls out all of the stops. I listen to him on KCBI. The entire service plays, including the orchestra. As they play hymns, this is so refreshing. Sometimes, I just need a classic hymn, or psalter.

    Because Jeffress teaches so much about Jesus, I feel like his sermons resonate with more people. Jeffress always teaches that Jesus is the way. Mohamoud, Buddha, Confucius, never professed to be the way to God. Only Jesus did this. That is Jeffress way of saying, Jesus is the way. I recommend listening to Pathway To Victory, which is the website for Jeffress organization. He plays his sermons there too as well as on the radio.

    Anyways, I have been trying to get my money back. Last year I gave Natalie Jones, a contact on Google Chats $500 dollars. I decided I wanted it back. So, I unblocked her, and asked her for the money back. She wanted me to pay ten dollars so she could transfer it somehow. But instead, I re-blocked her. I really like Natalie Jones, but she needs to learn not to ask people for money ever again. This is all that I will write on the matter. I should just forgive her, but I am make an effort to get my money back.

    Last night, I came up with this idea. I need to buy a Nintendo DS. I also want a few games for it. One of the games I am interested in is Pokemon Diamond, or Pearl. Also maybe Final Fantasy Tactics. At Wal Mart one costs $102 dollars. I have a picture of the Nintendo DS below. I will post the link I found as well.

    I got the picture from Wal mart, and I already posted the link. I also want to get a regular charger, and a car charger. I think that one of these would be useful. Along with a handful of games. The kiddos might enjoy it too. Especially, if things get rough.

    Well, anyways, this is my first post in a while. Sorry. I have been playing Eve Online lately. I really have been enjoying that game. I guess it gets sweeter with time.

    Ultimately, I am looking forward to re-listening to Jeffress sermon tonight while I work. I also am hoping to get my money back from Natalie Jones. Whom I actually really like. In the mean time, I will see about purchasing a Nintendo DS. A few games too. Have a nice night. I will check back at work.

  • An Eve Online Walkthrough

    I like to play Eve Online. I have been playing for years. Sometimes, I leave Eve, but then I come back. Right now the subscription is free. So, I like that. I could upgrade to Omega, which is a paid subscription. You can also get PLEX and use that. PLEX stands for Pilot License Extension.

    Here is my ship. I like to fly a Tristan and here is a screenshot of it.

    That is the front end of the Tristan. I am just going from asteroid fields and looking for “rats”. Which patrol the various asteroid fields.

    Here is the aft portion of the Tristan. Very neat ship to fly. It is a frigate. Eve is a very fun game to play. In Eve though, a part of the experience is getting your ship blown up. I am on my third Tristan. RIP other Tristans. I did my eighth mission.

    This is me in my Venture. Another frigate, used for mining. I completed my eighth mission, so I had a storyline mission that involved mining veldaspar. So, when that happens I pull out my venture. It is fun to drive too. I have also had a number of ventures blown up, because I flew them into low security and null security sectors. One day, I will have to show you the Eve Map. It is very intriguing. There are actually two different versions of the map. One is the classic star map, and now you have another map made by CCP. I like the detail of Eve. But the question has been asked, is Eve just a game? I am not so certain. Sometimes it feels like an experiment. But I enjoy it right now.

    I shared my YouTube of me flying a Vexor. This is on an older account. I no longer really play on that account. Unlike my new account, my older account still has the Pilot License.

    What makes Eve exciting, to me is the mystery involved. It is based in space, to so the area of Tranquility is gigantic. There is always something to do. The Social Interactions are different from those in say World of Warcraft. The combat system is very interesting, forcing you to target your opponent instead of just attacking. To attack, you need to target whatever you are trying to attack, first. Then, you can attack.

    There is also a variety of activities to do in Eve Online. You can Explore, which includes surveying, and finding anomalies. You can do mining, which doesn’t seem exciting, but is very profitable over time. Another thing you can do is you can do missions, and when you do the missions it is worth it to salvage the wrecks. Also you can fly around the asteroid fields looking for “rats” and attack them. There are also combat sites you can run to. Another great salvage opportunity. Right now, I am in a corporation, but I am the only active player. I don’t know where the others all went too. Maybe they are just on other accounts. Anyways, I thought I would just share my thoughts on it and see if anyone might be interested in trying Eve.

    Here is the website for Eve Online: https://www.eveonline.com/. It is free to play, unless you make an Omega account. The free account is known as an Alpha account. If you are interested in playing, and need some help just look up ermcool/Eric McCarty. Hope you enjoyed this brief walkthrough.
