I should have a new internet connection pretty soon, but right now nothing. Yesterday I had to pull a pit bull off of Norvin. I'm by no means a pit hater, but this ain't helping that attitude. Norvin & I were jogging & the thing came out of nowhere, no barking no showing teeth, just leaped anmd latched onto Norvin's side. I punched the thing...

This gave me a kick today -
I usually listen to Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sirius at work, it's far & away my favorite station. Anyhow, I hear Mick Collins singing some song I'm not familiar with. I dig every band that Mick has been in, most especially The Gories, but everything he does is good. Here's a $20 Gories video that rocks way...

Crazy violent hailstorm yesterday. 100+ degrees out and there's frozen stuff falling from the sky? Weirdsville! Today is the 4th of July Damboree, our town's annual festival celebrating the 4th of July and the Boulder Dam, known to the rest of the world by it's illegitimate title "Hoover Dam." At the Damboree you can eat as many dam hot dogs as you want and throw...

We have a town kickball game every Thursday night.
And then there's live music on the green on Tuesday nights then everyone heads to the bar afterward.
Oh and this is ballerina week.
My old town in Illinois had a corn festival.
Cindy Crawford was corn queen one year.
She lived in my town....

the maple festival? We have one of those around me, where did you grow up?
Today I got a break from thinking about my own recent drama, although I'd rather I hadn't. My mom called and relayed some bad news -
One of her friend's children, someone I care about (our families grew up together in Ohio, but he's 11 years younger than I) has cancer. He is 28 and the doctor is recommending that they remove everything nearby. This...

it's amazing how random life is sometimes. With all the shit i have done in my life i should technically have some type of disease like that, but amazingly i don't.

Yes, actually, I DID see that documentary! I'm a fan, but not of his whole catalog, my favorite period is the Ragged Glory/Arc/Weld phase (plus "Touch The Night" from Landing On Water), though everything he's done is brilliant. I had Rust Never Sleeps on cassette, wore that fucker out.
I hate to hear that about your friend, man. That's gotta be a hard row to hoe at any age.
You hang in there, okay? Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning.

Just a quick update -
I'm getting back on track pretty quickly & feeling a lot better. Still a bit bummed about losing 7 years sobriety, but that's just the ego reminding me it's there. I've been keeping busy, going to meetings & trying to pack in as much fun between responsibilities as I can. Mostly meaning I've been riding the bikes a bunch. I...

Man, I didn't know you had 7 years.
Although I've been fortunate enough to keep my drinking under control, I had to quit everything else many years ago.
I know a lot of sober folks and know how important it is and what a struggle.
I'm glad you're getting back to where you're feeling better quickly.
7 is just a number, it's how you feel that's important.

Not doing so hot.
3 months ago I broke my collar bone. Didn't bother to tell the doctor I am a recovering drug addict/alcoholic. Eventually I took a handful of Vicodin and I'm off & running. All through recovery I've had this idea (which I have tried out before, btw) that if I just smoke pot I'll manage alright. Doesn't get me into serious trouble...

How goes life in the land of heat and boat lifts?
I seem to be pretty much done with posting here so I probably won't renew when the time comes. I've enjoyed SG a lot & especially appreciated the SGVegas group & the sobriety group. Anyone who would like to can add me to their facebook. I've only started using it & I don't (at least yet) spend much time on it, but I'd love to...

what a trip. truck lost power, sputtered & stopped running 50 miles from glamis. truck camper is just as comfy on the side of the road as at the dunes so that was a plus. first thought was bad gas since I just fueled up and it was smoking really weird. I drained out all my water containers & got the truck (92 F350 460...

I would have missed the cat to, I never even thought of it when I read that.
sucks about the employee, so often they never think of stuff like that; I had a guy pissed at me because I was taking lots of time off, to the point he had a fit over it. He ended up feeling kinda dumb when I explained to him I was taking time off and not getting paid to make sure he got 40 every week when things where slow...

I cancelled my cable TV and internet, way too expensive & I rarely watch tv except for news. And I'm much happier the less news I watch so... What's a cheap reasonably fast internet connection? I really know nothing about that shit. I need to sell a bunch of stuff on ebay & craigslist if I'm going to keep my home - I haven't sold...

Happy New Year!!
No internet for a while. I'm going to Colorado for Christmas & New Years, I'll take care of it when I get back maybe. I've got an excellent Fu Manchu going but of course I have no pictures. maybe next year.

You need to work on this picture thing. It's become something of an issue for your adoring fans.
