Pilot fly’s across Engish Channel

A man name Rossy who is a full-time Ailrbus A320 pilot went on the mission fly across the english channel his self-made contraption. The contraption was hitched a on airplane ride and take to about 8000 feet high over Calis, France. Then the composite wing rocket airplane was released, the engines were ignited while still in the plane and Rossy wore a flame-resistant suit to protect his back against the flames of the engine blast. He rocketed at 120 MPH, for about 22 miles and did it in 13 minutes thanks to the help of the four kerosene-powered jet turbines affixed to the composite wing. The rocket kit is basically an jet-assisted rocket pack glider with an 8-foot wingspan. Pretty guttsy flight, I understand the wants to fly across the Grand Canyon next.  I guess he is doing it cause it is there.

Dealing with skin enhancement

There is a time in all of our lives growing up that our bodies change as we progress to adults. This includes new teeth, height, increased foot size and development the mind full of mush. One of the bad issues of some teens is that dreaded skin enhancement of acne. This enhancment puts a stress on you mental faculties, mine lasted for 15 years and still rears its ugly head ever once in a while. My children get access to new treatments that are a 100 percent better for controlling acne than the old pink lotion that was used.  Wonder if they will ever find a cure? We can dream.

Health Insurance is health maintenance

Have you noticed that our Health is important to all of us. If you have young ones it is good to have health insurance, unless you are wealthy. My use of health insurance has come in very handy over years from bicycle crashes to clipping the finger tips being clipped off. Not to mention all of the bad colds and sickness that is part of growing up. I find having health insurance is more like maintence insurance against truely major illness that could keep you in the hospital for a long time. Health insurance for our family can cost, but the trade off for protect is worth it.

Rough weekend for breathing

This past weekend was rough, the only thing I could do was sleep and watch TV. I some 48 hour flu that lingers on for 96 hours. We know that works out. The congestion, with body aches, headaches, the headaches what done me in from blogging or just about anything else on a computer. I was having withdrawals. The congestion was pretty bad, should have use one of those dehumidifiers. Maybe I would have been able to breath better. Today my eyes burn and water looking at a computer screen but the headaches have gone away for now. I can only hope. Maybe I should take a nap?

Wisdom, Exercise and diet

Life changes everyday, we learn new things and experience for growth in wisdom. This all start when we are young and develop over our life time. Sometimes when our work takes more of our free time than we would like. This in turn reduces time to exercise or physical activities that we normally perform. I notice that when my activity slows I need to cut down on my intake other with my mass will increase. The use of diet pills are an option, but I would rather use small bits of exercise on a daily basis. You learn a lot about yourself by maintaining a daily program that you can take part in.  The knowledge of training is just another part of wisdom. Use or loose it.

Holidays are sneaking up on us

September and the end of summer is coming very soon, it is time to start on a reflection on the up coming holiday seasons. Wal-mart has their Halloween and Christmas decoriations ready for sale. Here in Alabama we some Halloween parties, but everyone has a Thanksgiving day feast and Christmas party. Maybe we should loosen up and embrace All Halos eve a little more. I know if I want to get my Christmas invitations printed and mailed on time I need to get on the stick and get them order. Now I have do the inventory of who to invite. I think the reason the South like Thanksgiving and Christmas parties is because of all the food. Everyone likes to eat.

Changes of the Season

The question of the day is why every change of the season it is time to the replace the home decor. Not sure why the home cannot just remain the same all the time. Go figure. Anyway this the ritual that goes on at my house each season. It is not two bad at least you get different views to look at. The one thing that I am glad that no one else knows about is where to get discount furniture,  If this got out we might have to start changing furniture every season also. With that said changing seasons are not too bad. :)

Celebrations and parties during DNC week

With one big convention over the other is convention about to start. It is time to reflect on the DNC convention last week where there was standing room only for the whole week. The mayor of Denver even relaxed the laws for all the vistors for the week. Now the last of the fanfare is gone and all of the fancy stages are taken down the demos can now go back to normal lives unless you need to visit a Chicago accident attorney to work out any problems that might have occured while all the parties and celebrations that went on.   You know who you are.

Best ways for party invitations

In the south we like to have our parties. We will have a party for just about anything. There are normal parties like birthday, wedding, anniversery, football game parties, championship game parties, graduation party, holiday parties, New years and forth of July are some of the crazier ones. Then are those just cause party. For most formal parties there are some expenses involved with invitations, catering and a room to book. There are lots of money spent on Wedding invites, Birthday invitations, Anniversary invites and for some fun parties Halloween invitations. We all like to dress up and pretend you are someone or some thing else for the night.  I believe to stick with the informal parties like hey there is a good game on the tube and I have a cold keg of beer, want to bring food :) and come over to watch the game on the big screen. Simple this way. Getting feed and watching the big game priceless.

Them feet they there Grow

What is it with a new school year and childrens feet. Does the creator know when school starts, this is the time when their feet out grow their current shoes. It is like their feet are being guided by a higher power. With massive feet grow in children, I would not be supprised is some show company like Dansko will have a subscription program make like send you a new pair of shoes every quarter. I think that would handle any growth problem you childs feet may have, and it would be cool to have alot of different pairs of shoes.

Baseball Cards - An Investment that got LOST

Back in the 70’s I began collecting anything I could get my hands on. Football cards, Basketball cards and the big fish baseball cards. This collecting forwarded on up to the 90’s. Over this time I have boxed up and protected these cards for safe keeping until someday I knew when I wanted to sell them. We grow out of things sometimes. I have monitored the value of the cards since day one hoping that one day I would have a valuable hoard of cards. In the 90’s I checked the value of my cards, and main group that I knew I had had increased in value very nicely. One set was worth close to $1000, that was then over 15 years ago. Now cards are not a commodity that will last for ever, they are paper and anything at any given time to mess them up and their value disappears.

Now for 2007, you would thing that the value of card, baseball cards to be exact would be worth more now than when they were bought 30+ years ago, do-you-not-think? We I was in for the shock of my life. A card worth book value $90, a 1974 season card, would be worth more now, not this same card that no new ones has been made for 33 years is now only work 23 percent of its value in 1990. About 25 dollars, not sure if the ebay.com gods have bastardized the hobby to what it is or what. The baseball card industry does remind me of the housing marketing, you buy something and hold onto it for 30 years, when it is time to sell the value has gone way down.

What is really bad the new baseball card value books now relay these reduced values. These must be the same folks that made up the new global warming hoax.

Somebody help me out please

A Mike Schmidt MINT 1974 Topps Baseball Card #283, his first card that he is alone on a card, but not considered his rookie card was valued over $90 in 1991, Mike a 500 HR hitter and in the Hall-of-fame, now is card is book value at $25. $90-$25 = $65 decrease in 15 years. Somebody is out of their minds on the value.

Anyone have a story like this????

Playing can relieve Stress

We all play games, some more than others. Video games, computer games, even outside old school games played with balls. My son and I like to play shooting games, this does not mean we have going postal tendencies, we just like to shoot things, like targets. One way to play shoot each other is with the game of paintball.

Paint ball can mean Stress relief. This stress is worked out by sweating shooting trying to blister each other with paintballs. :)

Tips that I like for the game of paintball:

•Wear a full face paintball mask - keeps the face paintball shot stings down
•Never shoot someone with your  paintball gun when the barrel directly touchs their body
•Keep yourself hydrated while playing; drink lots of water
•Have fun Enjoy yourself. Hitting someone in the face can be fun

Enjoy life can be fun.

The world of non-blogging

It is all in the mind.

I am in a quandrum about blogging. I brain for some reason has shutdown from blogging for 2 days. This is driving me crazing. I so many things to blog about and discuss, I am just having a blockage on putting the words in a post. This has happened in the past and it works best to bring it out to everyone that I am blocked.

Feeling weird not blogging, maybe I need to take something to get my yang up. The last time I blew off like this I was able to get back on the blogging train. Have tried more caffine to get a boost, did not work. It is like my brain is being passive aggressive toward me about the not blogging issue. Yeech!  But time stops for no-one, if it is wasted it is gone. Can not get it back. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. I just need to suck it up and do it.

Tell me your blogging issue, would love to read them.

Thanks
