Thanks to my friend Scott!

One of the goodest guys I know... Scott M . "Helped me" work on my truck today. I think my sole (hahah) contribution was finding his socket wrench once. He did all of the work. I promised I wouldn't tell what a good guy he is, but I'm breaking my promise. I had to get rotors for both front and back, of course brake pads for both back and front, and calipers on the front. One of the pads was bare metal. Also, he replaced the parking brake cable I broke with my gigantic feet. He wouldn't take any $$$ . What a friend. Thaks, Scott.

40 years as a WIP

Almost 40 years. It just occurred to me. August 4, 1978 I chose to give my life to Jesus Christ. So, August 4 is my RE-Birthday. WIP? Work In Progress. I'm a long way from being perfect, but I am trying to do the right thing. I'm what theologian John Stott calls an abomination; an "unchurched Christian"... I'm just not a joiner. But, in my mind, I hear God's voice everyday. I was thinking about this as I woke up from my nap, and decided to post it. Thanks a lot, God.

(note: this is the same thing I posted on my FB page)

An additional Blog from me

I've been wanting to start a blog related to music I like ... I'm going to start with a list of music albums that I think are "perfect".... Great albums with no "filler" songs.
If you have any interest check it out.  I might make some YouTube videos eventually as well.

Campground host job summer 2018

I am SUPPOSED to have a job here this summer.

It is supposed to start around May 15.  I haven't heard a lot from the hiring manager yet.   So, I'm not sure what to expect.

Back in the Springs for a couple of weeks

I decided it's past time to clear out my storage unit that I've been holding on to for more than a year.  I have a much better idea of what I need / want to have.  My Jeep was in a large unit , along with a lot of tools, books, camping gear, and many other things.  Some of it is just short-sighted and stupid. 

My first 2 nights I stayed in Pueblo at my friend Weldon's place.  I got to plug into shore power and he loaned me a small electric heater .  I got real spoiled real fast. 
Then I tried to find a Walmart parking lot to stay in, and they've started to enforce the rules.  So, I stayed at Rampart Range Rd in Pike NF.  It was 9300 ft elevation and got down to 28 degrees.

Last night , (4/5/18) I stayed at my friend Doug's construction site.  Much warmer! 
So, I'll probably be here for another couple of weeks.
