mayday, mayday,

No it's not an SOS.  It really is May Day.  May first.  Someplace there should be a maypole with kids running around it.

Or communists rolling the heavy artillery down the street to let the world know they were gonna blow us up if we didn't conform to a system that clearly doesn't work.

It sure doesn't feel like May 1st outside tonight.  It was a bit of a brisk walk from the hangar to the parking lot.  The hangar I'm working in these days is affectionately known as "Ice Station Zebra" because it's on the northeast end of the base where the wind comes out of Weber canyon.  Fortunately, no wind tonight as I left the building, but when I got to the car, there was frost forming on the hood and roof.

A good dinner later and I'm just about ready for bed.

I'm kinda bummed more folks didn't get excited about my idea to give up $1 a day to help someone.  I'm not gonna give up on this, though... I have some great examples of what we could do and I'm gonna start a different blog for this.  My stuff here is geared more for friends than the whole world, so if I have time tomorrow I'm going to copy and paste the old post into a new place.

As for my life, not much has changed.  I'm still under the impression Wendi is coming home.  I don't think the timetable has changed.  The saga with the house continues.  In the mean time, I just try to press on with my days.  Some warm, sunny weather would be nice so I can get started on the jungle.

Mother's Day is coming up, too.  I'm blessed to have two moms.  I have my real mom and the immigrant.

That's all I have for now.  Please think about the whole give $365 thing.  And, don't forget church today!

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
