Underground Car Guy

Last night was some what an emotional night for me, and some of you it might find it silly.  There were two programs on t.v. last night that made the emotions flow of not have my mother here.  One was the Amazing Race and the other was Pete's Dragon.  You are probably asking why does the Amazing Race, bring back so much emotion.  Well, this was the only reality type show that my mom liked.  We would watch the first episode and then call each other to find out who we like and did not like, and who we thought would win.  Then after that is was calling each other did you see that or what did you think about the team that was emlimited that night.  We called each other with in seconds of an episode ending.  We also did this with Lost.  So the last few seasons of the Amazing Race have been hard, because she is not there to call.  It was our show.  There is no one there to call to ask if they just saw that... Growing up, my mom was very talented at playing the piano, the o

My T.V. in the computer room gave up the ghost last Sunday, so since then I have been listening to my play list from ITunes or what I can get on IHeart Radio.  A song came up on my play list by Toby Kieth called, "My List."  In it he starts naming off the things he needs to get done for the day, like go to the bank, the hardware store, and fix the cellar door.  Then he moves on to a list of things that we sometimes forget to do every day, like go for a walk or say a pray, or just take a breath of mountain air.  He goes on to say just start living and raising a little hell. I have also come across some people talk about bucket list.  I was on Facebook, and some friends that are living in Europe right now, have been doing some touring.  They have been posting pictures of Paris, Germany and Austria.  This is where I see one of there friends make the comment that they will have to add that to there bucket list.  And I have heard my dad talk about that, about a recent trip he t

Here I am again.  Another disappointing day.  At times I wonder if I am the most unlucky person around.  Received another rejection letter from an business for employment.  Also, the deal I was working on to save my house, has falling through.  The only good thing out of the day was that I did put in another application for another job.  Oh how the depression is hitting me right now, and most people do not understand.  My wife did not understand and left.  So it is doubled.  I don't want to burden anyone with my problems so I set here, like a hermit. Working with my father on the company that he gave me, but I had no control over what so ever, was and is hard.  I have been looking for a job from time to time, but I keep getting mixed signals from him.   When I could not be there to do something he wanted done right that minute, but could be done at almost anytime, I was told I was not loyal to the costumer, or I really did not care about the company.  But I always got there and

On this day I am reminded at where I was this day.  To me and others who remember this day, this is our Peal Harbor moment. Like any other day, I was already at work.  Been there since about 4:30.  Got all of the Plumbers out of the yard around 5:30 and was preparing for my day at my prefab table.  About 5:45  the news came across that a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers in New York.  I thought man that is bad.  About 6 my boss Patty came out and said you should see it on the T.V.  About that time, I called my mom to see if she had heard what was going on, and she said she was watching it on t.v.   So I went into the break room and there was a few people in there watching, one of the towers on fire, with thick black smoke.  We watched and wondered what happened, when the other plane hit the second tower.  We stood there in disbelieve.  It was hard to get back to work. At that time I was listening to Howard Stern, and this day it went from being tape delayed to being live.  To h

I was asked to take pictures at the cub scout Pinewood Derby, April 22, 2010.  I made this video, out of the pictures that I took.  I hope you like it.
