Other than my car, and I don’t own a house. Would have to be my gaming laptop. I bought it at Best Buy, and its running like a champion too. It is a Predator Helios 300. It runs all my games, plus I can post on here. I considered buying a second laptop that I would use for school, and writing on my blog. But no complaints after about three years.
Anyways, not much is going on, these days. Its been quiet in fact, because Dad spent the weekend at the farm. He built a new dirt bike trail. So, there are like three trails now, and I can’t wait to see the new one.
Of course, I don’t ride dirt bikes. But I ride the riding lawn mower. Thats fun to me. I enjoy turning it. It reminds me of Grandad (Dad’s Dad). To build the trail, my Dad had to cut down some mesquite trees, and tore up some prickly pair cactus. He got pricked by one. Now, THAT is some dedication. Dad is really doing a lot with the farm, but the sad thing is no one seems to be taking advantage of it. Its sad to see it go to waste. We all need to get out there, and use what Dad built.
Anyways, I am going to a law enforcement expo, on the 14th of November. Hopefully, someone will hire me. I am a little bit older, but I could probably get hired in the IT department. Also, I am filling out an application with Champion Homes. Trying to increase my take home, you see. For now I have been driving Uber. I am grateful to God for Uber. I don’t like working on Sundays, so for now I will drive Uber. Well, that all for now, good night and God bless you!
You read that right. I am working at a site in downtown Dallas. The Veterinary Clinic on Oak Lawn. I began at about 12:45 PM today, and got off at 6:30. Tomorrow, I will begin at 6:30 AM! So, I have to be up extra early. I was thinking I was going to have to go lateral to get any kind of work- turns out I still have a job. For now. I work till Sunday. While I was working I noticed this robot:
I googled the picture. Turns out the robot has a name- Maggie. Maggie just kept going. I couldn’t determine what her purpose was, however. Pretty cool!
After a while, I got hungry so I ordered food using DoorDash from a burger joint- they had tater-tots! Yum! They forgot to give me ketchup though. Oh, well. It was till pretty good. I had to go inside the clinic to use the bathroom a couple times. I noticed a dog when I went in the second time.
I am not allowed to be in my car, at this new site. So, I miss my music. But I am glad for the work. So, I press on. Today it was a bit windy, and it was sunny out.
While I was working, my app needed to be updated. When I tried to sign back on, it wouldn’t let me. So, I spent half an hour talking to dispatch, to get the app to work. But eventually, it signed me back on. I will probably have to reset my password again. But I hope not.
Anyways, I was working, and doing my reports. Thus, I am allowed to be on my phone. Billy is, or was a counselor. I have his number. Sometimes I send him memes. Or thoughts. But this time, I discussed with him what happened in DEERS. I told him I will get the information from DEERS. As a veteran, I still have access to DEERS. I will get the records for 2013. FC2 Gulub said there was an affair.
Well, anyways, I hope my readers are having a good day. I certainly had an interesting one, as you can see. I give thanks when I am able to live well, and I give thanks when I am living slim, like the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians.
Because I have work, I will not be able to pick up the battery for my phone until Monday. They said something about Friday. I am a bit disappointed, but so be it. I put this off for years, I don’t know whether the information on my phone will still be there. But pray it is! If you pray. Well, have a good night.
This is a photo of Billy. I know, I know, you have seen it before. But- did I ever tell you about my friendship with Billy?
I have always wondered how our families first connected. The Robinsons and the McCarty families was a connection, unlike any other. My Mom told me that she, and Aunt Mary would talk after church. Originally, they lived in a trailer, behind the church I remember. I just remember coming back from Great Granny’s funeral, and there were all these guns, and boxes of ammo beneath my metal frame bunkbed from Children’s Company. That was the first time I ever heard the name Robinson. I was impressed. The Robinsons had decided to store there guns at our house. Later, Mom and Dad had them over after church. At first me and Billy did not get along. In fact, I thought I was being forced to be Billy’s friend! But after a while, I noticed, we would always have some kind of adventure together. Our families were closely aligned, it seemed. Uncle Rob was in the Navy. That was so exciting to me.
Long paragraph. But I have a bit to explain. After a while, in the Fall of 1995, my Mom, and Aunt Mary began Psalm singing with us children. The Psalters, which were last revised in 1936, I noticed, were moldy. But they were what we were going to sing. I didn’t remember ever seeing a Psalter prior to our Psalm singing. For a while, it was just the Robinsons and the McCartys that did the Psalm singing. But I really felt this time was foundational to what happened later. Where our families went from barely being able to get along, to going on vacations together!
Then, we added another family to our Psalm singing. The Winslows. It was actually pretty fun. We would have about 45 minutes to do something before the Psalm singing. Then, afterwards we would have another 45 minutes to do some activites. I remember we would play all sorts of out door games, like for a while we did hockey. Then, we did kickball, and soccer too. It was so much fun. Then, me Billy, and Kathryn would go off, and have discussions too. We were all close in age. I was a bit younger than Billy and Kathryn. But I felt a connection forming, with both Billy and Kathryn. So, I always consider that to be my first real connection.
Now, I am no longer connected with Billy, or Kathryn. But the memory of that time, is so positive to me, I still think about it often. I don’t have any pictures of Kathryn, but if I did maybe I wouldn’t share it, unless she said it were ok. But this picture of Billy is from a public website. Billy is now a counselor, in Grand Rapids. I have sometimes thought of signing up for a session just to talk with him. Kathryn married and moved to Wyoming. But I really felt like Billy deserved the credit for the connection with Kathryn. We went from arguing and fighting, mostly my fault, to being able to sit together for Sunday school. Or at Youth Group. Or, we would discuss our families. It was really neat.
You might think Uncle Rob being in the Navy was the reason I joined. It was influential, and one time we got a tour of a submarine. But Uncle Rob actually, had told me not to join the Navy.
Then, I remember one day, my Mom, and Aunt Mary kind of got into a fight. It was just after William was born, they wouldn’t talk for years. It was so sad, because the Robinsons and the McCarty families had gotten along so well. Something about the move I guess. I never figured out why they fought, but I did know that my Aunt Mary and Mom agreed: Someday they would meet for lunch. That was a profound statement for me. So, I wanted that to happen. It did happen! I ended up going to Billy’s graduation from Christian Liberty Academy, in Illinois. After that, I remember my Mom and Aunt Mary re-connecting.
But yes, without Billy, I doubt I ever would have been able to connect with other people very well. I think Kathryn had reached out to form a friendship, prior to the arrival of Billy, and it failed. I didn’t even know what a connection was, till Billy showed up.
The Saddest Moment
One day, Billy managed to call me, while I was stationed in Misawa. He wanted me to attend his wedding. Because of manning I doubted whether I would get leave. I had nefarious intentions of my own, for returning to the states. So, I did ask if I could get leave. But they told me I wouldn’t get it. I think my Uncle Rob could have helped me get leave, but I didn’t press the issue. I regret not attending Billy’s wedding. It would have been such a blessing to see him, at his big moment, when his family formed. I met his wife, to and she is not only beautiful, but very sweet. Billy had told me, he would be willing to do “Just about anything” to have me at his wedding. I felt like I failed Billy, in not pressing for the leave. For not attending his wedding. I regret this Billy.
Hello. I am just sitting down, to update my blog. I just ordered a Little Caesers Pizza for dinner, through Door Dash. I was introduced to DoorDash through a co-worker. Been using it ever since. I am currently, trying to find a way to get the DEERS information. As a veteran, I still have access to DEERS. This must mean, I can request information from my service times. I was in twice- once Active Duty, and then in the Reserves, under Trump! What a privilege to serve under Trump.
I am currently listening to some Lord of the Rings music, as I write to you. I hope this post finds you well. I am actually, not working currently. I am waiting to be put back on the schedule. I guess I could have gone to church today. But instead I listened on the radio, once more. It was Robert Jeffress. He discussed how Satan attacks our lives. It is because we are followers of Jesus.
My Dad just got back from picking up Panda Express. So, it looks like the pizza is mine! Can’t wait. My DoorDasher just called and said she would be a couple of minutes late, due to traffic. I am not bothered, though I am pretty hungry. This will be my second day in a row, ordering pizza. Pepperoni Pizza is my favorite, though! I have said this before. Oh, well.
I have decided not to chase icanslamsatan. I want to meet. Infact, I believe we have to meet. But if I chase her, she will think I want the wrong things. I just want to meet. If we have sex, we would have to get married first. I won’t have sex unless I am married. I won’t chase you, but I often think of you. Especially, ever since my collision for some reason. You know, icanslamsatan, I want to meet in San Diego. At the cross, on Battle Mountain. I think you would enjoy seeing that. It will be a bit of a hike, to reach it. But I say, it would be worth it, if I were going to meet you. Plus, I grew up in Washington State, so hiking is not foreign to me! I really miss you, icanslamsatan.
Madonna,
I have contacted them about the GI Bill, and I hope to hear back from them on Monday. It says I need to be active duty to transfer my benefits. But I am going to see if I can still do it, somehow. I would love for you to be the recipient of it, and you can decide who gets it. Both of your daughters seem smart to me.
Well, anyways, I am thinking of my cousins now, as the Lord of the Rings music courses through. The Bavidos that is. It just seemed like we had such a special bond. But Now I think its broken.
I am going to be missing work! My car started acting up, on Wednesday while I was working. I walked into Murphy USA to get a coffee. When I came back out, my car wouldn’t start. I tried to start it several times. With no success. So, I went into Chick-Fil-A to use the bathroom. I came back out, and my car started! So, I moved to some shade.
Then, my car began acting up again. This time it died, and I understood, it might be over heating. It was hot that day. Anyways, I went and lifted the hood to let it cool, and almost burned myself it was so hot under the hood. I went into use the bathroom again. After I came back out, the car started again.
I moved to another parking area, that I watch. It was running fine. But then, it acted like it was going to die again. I figured it might be overheating again, I rolled down the window and turned off the car. After a few minutes, I tried to start the car again. It wouldn’t start. So, I began calling “AAA”.
If you are ever stranded, “AAA” is a pretty reliable company. They can help with a number of problems, including with the battery, being locked out, or in this case, towing. So, I got in touch with a local towing company via “AAA”. I still have there number. But anyways, as I had called the tow company- the car started. I had just ended my shift. So, I cancelled the towing, and began driving home, with Robert Jeffress blaring!
As I drove, I noticed the check engine light was on. So, I kept that in mind, as I continued to drive. Expecting, at any moment that the car might die, on the Interstate. But I made it home! There were cops, watching the highway, so I knew I would be ok. They are the Arlington, PD.
Anyways, I got home. I let my Dad know what was going on with the car. He said, “Take it to O’Reilly’s in the morning, and get them to read the engine code”. So, I figured that was that, and went to bed. My Dad has had an irregular sleep pattern.
So, my Dad stayed up and worked on my car, all night long! At about 6, he left and went to McDonald’s for breakfast. I was a sleep while this all transpired. At about 8 AM, he called for me, and let me know he was about done working on the car. But he needed to go to O’Reilly’s for a part.
So, I dragged myself out of bed. I smoked a cigarette. But as I went back up stairs, he showed me a “code reader” he had received for Christmas one year. He found it, and read the code, and got to work on my car! Aw, Dad thank you!
I have footage of my Dad working on the car. It hasn’t received many views. So, I decided to share it here.
In the video, you can see the car, my Dad, and our somewhat messy garage! Well, enjoy. Time for me to finish my coffee, and hit the sack, but I will be missing work. So, I might stay up for a bit. My Dad is trying to order the parts on Amazon. He tried to buy them at O’Reilly’s. But the parts he needs would have cost him $150 at that place. So, he decided to order the parts from Amazon. Thank you, for reading! I hope you are doing well. Let me know, in the comments. God bless you.
So, today I was off from work. I slept until noon. I was so tired. For some reason, cashapp was not working, until tonight. So, I am not sure why. I ate ramens for lunch. After I ate lunch, I did the dishes. Then, I went and got a hotdog later, from 7/11. When it is hot, I just do not have much of an appetite. Scott didn’t come over. I imagine he is busy. I just logged off from World of Warcraft Classic. I got a couple of images to share.
So, what are you up too? Doing well here. Just it is hot these days. I don’t see any rain in the forecast. My Dad is watching The Chosen. It is the week of Jesus death now. I wish I was watching it, but I cannot sit to watch a film since I was in a collision. It is all I can do, to sit and read. The last thing I read in my Bible was Psalm 19. That was because, Greg Laurie did a sermon from Psalm 19.
This is a screenshot of my druid Fishing. She was fishing in the Wetlands, outside of Menethil Harbor. For Firefins. You can use the Firefins to make oils for potions, most notably a firepower potion that most mages and some warlocks love, for its increase to fire damage. I was running along the shower, and saw school after school of Firefin. Managed to catch eight total!
Again with the numbers. I ended up with exactly 45 health potions, after my latest herb run. I think it must be a sign, lol. Anyways, I ended up sending two stacks to Reeon, another druid in my guild. We quested together, and so I made it a habit of sending him health potions from time to time. Mostly, originally I was trying to get rid of my lower lvl health potions. But this time I sent him the more powerful ones.
I think it is time wrap it up. I just wanted to give you a bit of an update. I will probably go to bed after this. Unless I cannot go to sleep, in which case I might play some more warcraft. But I already got a lvl today. Maybe I will read my Bible for a change. Well, have a good night!
First, I wanted to give a shout out to the Veterans Affairs!! They have done such a good job keeping up with my medicine. It gives me motivation to be taking my medicine. Thank you!
That is my car. The starter was going bad. So, yesterday, me and my Dad took it to a place over on Arkansas to have it repaired. But it turned out, it needed a new starter. It was making some kind of weird noise when I would start it. It cost over $500 to get the repairs completed. So, I hope this fixes it long term. Only time will tell. This afternoon, I picked up my car, and it turned over like it should. So, for now I am happy with my repairs, even though it ran up such a high tab. My Dad was satisfied with it too.
Then, after I picked up my car, I was hungry. So, I went by Luci’s Chicken and Rice, which is just around the corner from the shop, where I got my car repaired at. I got 8 wings, Fried rice, and French fries.
It takes me about fifteen minutes, start to finish to eat the entire thing. But it is good. I am not sure how long that restaurant will remain in business, but while it is, I try to eat there at least once a week. See how big the meal is? I can’t eat all of that, but I try too. The roll is pretty good too.
After I ate, I played World of Warcraft Classic for a while. I was on my druid this time. I am comitted to playing my druid to lvl 60. Today, we ran Gnomeregan. It took about an hour to complete. Most of my group was above lvl for it. So, thats why it went by so fast. We had a couple of spicy pulls, where we almost wiped. But we recovered nicely.
After the run, I tried to laydown. But I couldn’t sleep. So, I started driving to my Mom’s house. I got a coffee at 7/11, and I needed cigarettes too. Then, I got back on the road, and finished driving to Mom’s house. When I pulled up, Mom was in the front yard, watering the grass. I guess it needed it. Joey let me inside the house. I just sat there for a while, talking to my Mom. She was texting with my Aunt Mary, up in Michigan. I was about to leave, but she gave me a coke. Here is a short I made at her house. Behind me you can see the piano.
After I had the coke, I finally left. But my Mom stopped me before I pulled out of the drive way, and she told me about how she is having a guy come out and repair her steps. The railing also. Maybe next time I will take a picture of it, so you can know what shape it is in. The steps on one side are all battered in, and it seems they need to be replaced. But its going to cost her $1200.
Well, anyways, I am back home now. I just wanted to share these tidbits with you. Thank you, for reading!
Yep. In August, I am going to be traveling. I will be traveling to The Cave City Convention Center in Kentucky for basically, a Bigfoot convention. My Dad bought me and him some dinner. Also, Scott came over.
It rained today. So, my Dad bought dinner. He gave me money, and wanted me to go to Burger King. Yum. Apparently, Burger King has a $5 Whopper meal on Wednesday, now days. I was skeptical when my Dad told me about it. I wasn’t sure which Burger King to go too. So, I went to the one in Kenedale. I went in, and asked the cashier, “Do you have the five dollar Whopper meal?” I expected to be laughed out of the restaurant. But instead, he rang it up. I asked for two Whopper meals. He rang it up, and it came out to $10.80. My Dad had given me a ten dollar bill, so I just paid with my card and covered the difference.
After dinner, Scott called. He wanted to come over, and I told him it was ok. Turns out, Scott wants to move to Plano, or some place. Then, later Scott and me set up my YouTube to go live. Scott give me some tips, because I am interested in building up a YouTube channel. There are so many channels out there! Afterwards, we went and got some gas, and drinks at QT.
I briefly stopped over at my Mom’s house, as well. I just wanted to say that, because they had on FOX News, and The Five was on. It was the token liberal’s turn to speak. She was talking about Musk, and Trump. Personally, I just think that whole situation is missed up. Elon did a really brave thing, helping Trump. One day, I do believe, we will have a Mars base because of Elon.
Now, I started out by saying that I am going to Spiracy Con. Let me share what that is. It is KIND of like a Bigfoot convention. But its gonna have expanded topics, I believe. Perhaps the origins of big foot. The reason I am going, is because there is a show I used to follow, The Mid Night Ride, on YOUTUBE. The hosts are both going to be in the convention. The convention is in August. I will try and get some pictures to share, of Cave City, Kentucky. I have seen some pictures, my self so I think we are in for some real treats. Here is the website:
So, as you can see, I am in for a good time. I am hoping that Scott will go with me.
I want to share a short. As I mentioned I am making a YouTube Channel. I hope it grows an audience. So, I will post a short. Two. They were both pretty popular, and I am not sure why.
The above video, is just a storm, but somehow it got over 100 views. It was pretty popular compared to some of my other videos.
I shared this one because it had 360 views, last count. So, its my highest grossing views video. I just wanted to share it, because of its popularity.
Today, is Blizzard’s Maintenance day. World of Warcraft is down. Thats the reason I am here. But what do I have to write about? A crazy adventure. With a lvl 25 druid, and my lvl 33 warlock. They soloed the dungeon known as The Stockades (“Stocks” for short).
At first we set out to find a group. There were originally three people in our group. The third person suggested I solo Stockades using Voidwalker. I tried to a couple of times. But didn’t get very far. But the person who invited me, whose name I don’t remember, was a druid. Which means they could heal. So, I had her heal my voidwalker. While I killed the mobs. It went alright. We managed to get one boss, and then found a chest too. Just as the server was about to go into Maintenance. But the druid noticed my cat and asked, “Where did you get that” so I said “Follow me”, and I proceeded to make a B-line for the Crazy Cat Lady, just outside of Stormwind.
We had to avoid some of the mobs. With seconds to spare, we found the Cat Lady, and the druid was able to purchase a cat carrier all for her very own. After we made it, I hearthed. Here is a screenshot:
This is not a screenshot of the Stockades. But rather of my hunter, and his pet, and one of my questing buddies out in Arathi Highlands. Still, you can get an idea of how things must have looked in the Stockades as my lvl 33 warlock soloed it. With the druid healing, it was doable. Had we not been pressed for time, we might have finished the dungeon.
I didn’t have much to say. I just wanted to rely this incident on my warlock, with you. I could have just one shot the dungeon for the druid, on my warrior, but actually, my warrior was on the other continent, Kalimdor. So, it would have taken to long for him to travel to Stormwind, in order to run the Stockades for the druid who was passionate about running Stocks. Well, thats all for now, folks.
Now, I am listening to David Jeremiah, as I overcome my withdrawals from not being able to play World of Warcraft for eight hours. Time for me to get some rest.
Yes, I am drinking it right now. I love to drink coffee when I write. I hope, I will remember this in school this time. Because I enjoy having coffee while I write because, I think coffee “fuels” creativity in me, for some reason. I don’t find myself needing to smoke while I write. Sometimes I take breaks and smoke. I am drinking it black right now, but sometimes I like a little cream or sugar. I do like Starbucks too, but mostly just regular coffee works for me.
I am drinking coffee right now, because I need to stay up. I work tomorrow, at 11:00 PM. I plan to get my rest during the day. I got a lot of rest last night, so I think I will be able to stay up, till the wee hours of the morning. In the meantime, as you can see, I am getting some writing done in my blog. So, I made a full pot, and I am two cups in.
I am also listening to Christmas music. I have it up louder than I had it before. So, I just shared that so you can picture me, coffee cup in hand, Christmas music playing, and me typing away.
I have never liked tea. I remember my first sip of it, and I didn’t like it. I never developed a taste for tea. Hot or cold. But hot coffee, is delicious to me. My first sip of coffee, I wanted another sip! It was my therapist’s coffee, up in Washington State. I still remember the smoothness of the coffee as it went down for the first time.
This was the train I went and visited in Washington State. I went and saw it in March. I just started driving on I-5, got off the interstate and found Highway 20, and on the sign it said “Newhalem ‘x’ miles”. So, I started driving, and just kept driving for hours in order to find it.
I used to see this train when I was growing up. It still looks the same. But it is such a neat memory. Either my family would load up, and drive out there, or sometimes people would come up from Texas to visit us. this was one of the spots where we would take them. There is a mile long nature trail, across a bridge. The trail leads to a source of electrical power for Seattle.
This is where the conductor would stand. I took a picture of this, not sure why. But I decided to include it here. After I saw the train, and walked the trail, and sat by the river for a little bit, I began driving back to Everett. Thank you for reading my blog! I feel like I am writing just for you.
