Workin Hard

So I have been thinking about doing a trial membership at a fitness center. You know the whole get into shape, be healthier, live longer stuff. Well I was out in my yard working this weekend. I am still getting the front yard leveled and filling in the side yard, I'll put new pics up soon. This project is taking longer than I expected. But I was out working on it some more and it occurred to me why pay someone else to workout on there machines when I can take the same time and do things in my yard or around my house and have a free work out that also gets my to-do list done. I realize of course that this does not target specific muscle groups, but it will keep me in shape and healthy. There you go my cheap side has once again justified why I should work harder and spend less money. :)

Feelin Good

You know I did not get anything physical done yesterday afternoon, not one thing. However, I spent some time with a Christian friend and we just "hung out". Conversation was plain no deep theological discussions, just a couple fishin poles and no fish, but there was one comment in the whole afternoon that really made it worth it "Thank you". I think I was more blessed by that then he was by my being there. Oh and my truck came in handy once again, because his drive was horrible. :)

Take your own Advice

That's exactly what I am doing this afternoon. I will be spending time today building up a fellow christian by just being there and listening. Tomorrow I will be sitting down to supper with another fellow christian and doing the same thing. I am ready to "invest more of myself" as Pastor P said last night. I could argue myself out of it with an endless list of things at the church that need done or things at my house that still need done, but I am shutting off the analytical side of my brain and just going for it. I hope God will bless my small efforts and help guide conversation to His end and not mine. So if you have been handing out advice lately here is a gentle reminder to remember to follow such good advice. :)

Another Stinkin Day

So hey we all can't be super happy all the time, especially when we wear ourselves out the day before. I don't get it. I can figure out that I wore myself out yesterday so I may struggle with my attitude today. So if that is such a DUH factor why can't other people figure out hey I'm tired that's why my attitude stinks today? Your attitude is contagious, what are you spreading?

Try it

I am constantly amazed at what can be done if I am just willing to try it. I am now cutting sod in my front yard. Yea I know sounds strand but my yard is uneven and will not drain. So I am taking out the humps, but they are big enough they come out grass, roots, and all. So I am taking these sections of ground and moving them over to the dips in my yard and using them there. Total cost $0.00 but oh the labor involved. Still it is getting done and eventually my yard will be the better for it (preparing for a rock drive in front of the house). Have a problem you don't think you can fix yourself? Try it, God gave us all brains. You can figure it out.

Hidden Problems Underneath

So I have this problem in my truck, I mentioned it before, its the bell housing on the tranny. It affects the fuel mileage, the power, can't pull anything at all, and if it finishes breaking the truck won't move. The thing is unless you know where to look you can't find what the problem is you just experience the symptoms, the shaky tranny, the loss of power, and the rattling sound. Its when you examine it closely that you see the cracks in the support. Don't be afraid to examine things closely, especially when you start experiencing symptoms.

Body Work

So I have a corner on my truck that needs some work. It has been rusting out for years and it started before I bought it. So now I get to fix the mess. Ever feel like your fixin messes other people should have known better than to create? I feel your pain, but I always learn allot by the time I get finished.
