So many projects...So little motivation!
So it's Memorial Day weekend.
Let me join the chorus of voices reminding you to remember those who paid the price for our nation, and for those paying it now. Hopefully they still have a country to come home to!
I'm enjoying the weekend but I'm feeling a bit guilty about not accomplishing much. I've got vehicle maintenance to do (too much like work), house maintenance (too much to do), a new rifle to sight in and shoot, and absolutely no motivation to do any of it.
I'm hard pressed to sit down and type this entry. Maybe I should shower, dress, and go take in a movie. Haven't had any cinematic therapy in a while...perhaps the air conditioning and overpriced popcorn will do something for me.

Yippee! 2009!
Well, it's 2009.
Hope y'all made the most of the additional time added to 2008 - that leap second sure seemed to pass quickly...of course, it hit here at about 5:59 PM on the evening of the 31st, and I was outside changing IFTA stickers on company trucks. I imagine the windchill had my thoughts elsewhere!
Celebrated my 43rd birthday with the purchase of a new Ruger Mk. III 22/45 pistol - only the 3rd new firearm I've purchased in my life - all the others have been off the used racks and shelves. I was going to go to the indoor range today and start breaking it in but Mother Nature decided to throw a wrench into the plans...unfortunately I have to consider going to the range 'non-essential travel', especially when work calls and requests my presence to put chains on the cargo tugs. As much as I know I'd enjoy an hour or two on the range, 4 hours of overtime means more right now.
I see I made 4 posts in 2008. One of my goals this year is to beat that mark.
TTYL.

Celebrate Diversity!
Why does all of the talk about energy seem to focus on one single source?
Haven't these people ever heard the expression "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket"?
There isn't enough money in the WORLD, let alone the United States, to completely overhaul our way of life to operate on a non-petroleum energy source.
Instead, we should be tapping into ALL of the various sources, and utilizing each where it makes the most sense - i.e. gasoline and Diesel for transportation; coal, hydro, nuclear, solar and wind for electrical generation WHERE IT MAKES SENSE.
Above all, innovation needs to be permitted and encouraged, not mandated by government!

What does it mean...
...when you get the eerie feeling that you are the most normal person in the Wal-Mart?
I think I know where they got the inspiration for some of the aliens in Men In Black.

Time for another post
Guess I should post again...once a year seems like an acceptable average. About as often as I update my personal website.
