Ever feel like you need a new way to hurt yourself?

Today Stephen,Becky,Tyrel,and I were wandering around the Buffalo Gap flea market and Becky and I went 50/50 on a new toy.A unicycle!!! After we bought it we got a few comments from other people wandering the flea market.
When we got back to the truck I had to try my hand at unicycling.
Using the truck for balance I managed to stay on two or three seconds before it came out from under me. It turns out that I had people watching me, I know because they started clapping and laughing.

After getting it home I got it adjusted, and have been finding my balance and can almost ride it.

In other news, lately I have been hearing a bit on getting on with the wind farms. I had been kind of hoping to commit to one in Australia for two years but you have to be twenty one to go overseas for them.I may or may not be able to join on here in the states, I will be looking into it.

Oh yeah the old method of hurting myself was nunchucks. I can manage to not hurt myself with them so i should be able to conquer the unicycle

New Gun

This morning I was garage sailing in Ballinger and I found me a new toy.A Savage model 10 in .243 win. Well I had to talk Stephen into it's mine even if you saw it first. I need a hunting rifle.He accepted my offer,and suggested that I try to talk the price down from $275 to $200-$250. So I offered $230 the guy said the lowest he could go was $250. Sold.

When we got home the first thing i did was head off to test my new rifle I set up a target started pacing out 100 yards and found a fence at a little over 75 yards so I set up at 75 yards instead.I got down on the ground, found my target,fired and couldn't find my shot.I worked the bolt,got back on target,squeezed the trigger and another round hadn't gone into the chamber(likely because I'm not used to the rifle and hadn't pulled the bolt all the way back).It was about this time that i noticed that I was laying in the midst of fire ants, I noticed because one bit me on the leg getting my attention.So I got up, pulled my boot off pulled my pant leg up and started shaking the stupid ants off of me. After I was satisfied that I had got them off of me I decided to move to a place with less ants hanging around. I got set back up and fired off two more rounds that were equally as unsatisfactory as the first(as in not on the target at all)and decided to come in and write about it because my leg was really starting to hurt.

So later I will be going out again with Stephen as a spotter to sight my rifle in.Also I think I will avoid laying in ant beds for a while.

The library I don't have

I have a list of books I would like to get,or at least read.But they cost money, and I'm attached to my money and have other priorities.Plus my list of wanted books just keeps getting longer.I am tempted to join the conservative book club to get them, it may be worth it. Here is the list so far.

America Alone. By Mark Steyn

If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans. By Ann Coulter

Liberal Fascism. By Jonah Goldberg

The Case Against Barack Obama. By David Freddoso

The Audacity Of Deceit. By Brad O'leary

The Obama Nation. By Jerome Corsi

Real Change. By Newt Gingrich

The Global War On Your Guns: Inside The UN Plan To Destroy The Bill Of Rights. By Wayne LaPierre


That is the list of ones that I haven't read yet. There are ones I've read that I want to buy.

Colorado Trip

Earlier this month I was one of a select thirteen members of the house church I go to, to go backpacking in the mountains of Colorado for a week. I was representing the Jones' as a photographer,and I did my job there, but the camera memory stick messed up and my best pictures are gone.There were two I got without the memory stick in they were first day, first hour.(I will post them later)

The crowning achievement of the trip (according to me) was topping Conejos Peak.It may have only been a day hike, but it was probably the best day.12 of 13 members reached the peak(one of us stayed behind at camp for reasons of their own). Some of my best pictures were from Conejos Peak.It may turn out good for me the pictures are gone or I might be staring at them constantly.I learned this when I Googled Conejos Peak and just stared at where our camp was, and the route to Conejos Peak.

I will try to post more on this later but right now the best I have to say is "I'm ready to go back."

Fun morning!!

To set the stage, the other night mom got back from DFW. I tell her a package arrived for her,and it sounds like broken glass is in it. She opens package , and there is a broken cookie jar in it. She asks me what I think of repairing it ,I don't respond, then I go to bed.

The next morning I get up ,see the pieces on the counter top and figure it might be possible to piece together. So I get the superglue out, take the lid off, and find pieces that go together. Then I try applying glue , but the applying head is jammed.So I get a toothpick stick it down the head to clear it.When I try to pull the toothpick out it doesn't want to move.So I stick the end of the toothpick in my mouth, pull on the tube, The toothpick comes out along with a spray of superglue. I now have superglue on my teeth, a toothpick stuck to my lip,and the tube of superglue stuck to my fingers. Around this time mom tells me forget trying to rebuilding cookie jar.

Now I get the tube off my fingers and the toothpick off my lip, and set to cleaning the superglue off my teeth.I grab a tooth scraper from by the kitchen sink,and start scraping the glue off. In the process somehow I chipped my tooth.when I get done mom sees the tooth scraper I used and informs me that it was used for cleaning out the garbage disposal on the sink.(Boy I'm glad I know that now)After that morning the rest of the day went well enough.

A calling?

Thrice in the past two weeks has christian film making been set before me.The first time was a comment on one of my posts.The second time was Becky
mentioning her wanting to try for a part in The Concho Pearl, which is being made in San Angelo,TX.
Third there was a brief mentioning of christian film making in Do Hard Things.It was brief but it stuck with me.

Now I may head to the area, join a local church, and join the making of The Concho Pearl. I have to be local, and be a with a local church to join the effort in making TCP(both things I planned on doing before ever hearing of this project).
I figure if I am accepted I would get a part as an extra and/or work as a carpenter for them(or carpenter underling if they need any).

It seems God has opened a door for me to get to West Texas and start in christian film making or carpentry as the case may be.

It is strange because two weeks ago I hadn't considered film making type for something I would do .But it seems God is pointing me in that direction.So I guess I should be in the area before the 19th if I am to try for this.

Ahhh technology.

Yesterday and today I have tried commenting on the Zesch blog. Once I would finally get the comment page to pull up, I would type out my comment, hit publish comment.then the page would freeze up, And then switch to the error on page page.After trying this a couple times I gave up and checked my comments, and tried replying to one by Becky.This time on my blog it tried loading before telling me it wouldn't.I know it sounds like a bad excuse but, the computer ate my comments.
