I dont post in here as often as I once did or should, but damn - , , , (triple comma, 3k, 30th floor, etc) feels good to be free.  Not a damn day of it would be possible without this place and these brothers (and a few sisters).  Thank you.

HUGE CONGRATS on that Triple Dangle J2b.  That is total badassery right there brother.
Bad. Ass.
Kudos brother!

If you want my digits, just ask and they will be yours, but I expect yours in return.

Accountability is a statement of personal promise, both to yourself and to the people around you, to deliver specific defined results.
Brian Dive

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.
Roy T. Bennett

You need anything, ask.  You feel strong, help.  This quit is for you but we got your back.

Do not let the actions of others determine the direction of YOUR quit.

The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your attitude about the problem.  Do you understand?

30 years ago, my mother passed away. 9, 7, 4, and 1 - that is how old us kids were. Brain aneurysm at 31. Not necessarily tobacco related, but she was a smoker.

Every one of her children has now outlived her, and my younger brothers have little to no memories of her. Hell, I barely have any memories of her.

Point being - life is too damn short, fragile, and can change in an instant. Dont waste what little time you have here with loved ones, including sneaking off to have a chew or staying on the toilet or going on unnecessary drives to the "store", etc. Enjoy and embrace that freedom.

There's nothing magical about learning a skill or earning a degree. What matters most is the same stuff thatÂ’s always mattered. A willingness to work hard, to master a skill that's in demand, and to go where the demand is. Work is not about the color of collars, or the relative size of the paycheck. ItÂ’s about pursuing opportunities where they exist, and creating them where they don't.
Must strive to teach this to every young impressionable mind I encounter, especially the three being molded in my home.
If I had it to do over with my kids, I would definitely spend more time with them, go to Church more, set better examples to them by not dipping in front of them, but luckily for me they turned out to be good adults. So teach them right from wrong and respect, love one another and I promise you they will do just fine. Quit on my friend!
Ironically enough, had to lay down the simple rules tonight for my two oldest:

1) Be respectful, always.
2) always give your best effort - you may not win, and that's OK. Learn to follow rule 1 even when it sucks.
3) always strive to be better. Never settle on good enough. If you aren't moving forward, you are moving backward.

At 4 and 6, they may not get it yet. But I ain't gonna stop drilling it into them. To many kids are content with getting by and have no respect for anything, including themselves.

Halloween 15

Sometimes when life kicks you, it helps to have Ultron, Hulk, and a Lion on your side to kick back.

Happy Halloween!
