I find that posting on my blog is easier when I am at work and on lunch so here I am again pounding out some of my thoughts. I lost a very good friend of mine to alcholism in March. I guess his liver just shut down and he was done. My advice to anyone that reads this is take advantage of any help that might be available to you to quit. I miss my friend and so does his family and what sucks about it is it could have been prevented.
I got a part time job in the evenings and weekends to help subsidize our income and get us out of debt sooner. Alisha and I have got to start preparing for purchasing the house so this will definitely help. I don't have much time in the evenings with the kids but that's ok because the kids are usually at work. They are growing up and soon it will be just alisha and I.
Work has been hectic and I feel a little guilty sitting here writing this when I have time to do some work but it is my lunch break. I love the weather and the way it has warmed up. It has made me a little ansy to have a garden but we just don't have a place for one. I think we could build a greenhouse and put it on the cement of the basketball court but the kids wouldn't appreciate it so for now I will just plant my tomatos in the upside down planters and hang them off the back porch. I built a new smoker out of a 50 gallon drum and I must say that it works very well. I also found an antique Simmons Hardware sausage stuffer at an antique store close to work. It was patented in 1897 out of St. Louis Missouri. I dissasembled it, sandblasted it and had the parts that would touch the meat teflon coated. The rest of the frame I painted gloss black with some high quality paint now I need to make some sausages!!
I have to say that I am happy. I hope that all of you are happy as well
