OUCH!!!

Thanks for giving him a BIG EGO BOOSTER!!!

 

Michelle, we're counting on you to bring him back to earth. After all, this is the BS thread - no need to get too worked up over it.

 

I'm not worked up about anything. Just trying to have some fun to. But what a EGO he has.

 

Well, I enjoy talking to all of you, that means you too, Orin!! Hey, that's why this is here, to air our thoughts, put out some BS, or vent!!

 

I looked all over for that truck after seeing run in the first round but could not ever find it. I know what it has a small block of some size with nitrous. it is quite a bit more of a racer than mine with sheet metal interior, etc. I am trying to keep mine a stock looking as possible so one day I can have it as a daily driver with the original 300-6 cylinder.

 

After going forth into the world this morn I noticed my wife Michelle has gotten involved as what she wrote indicated a discussion that we have had about my posts. She had felt that I was writing a book to simply respond to a thread.

I know this is true but I love to write and as indicated up until this summer I have little outlet to write except in a journal. My other outlet is my friends and neighbors with whom I engage in stories of things I remember or things that I discover and share with the intent of engaging thought and input, I thrive on that.

If I throw something out there that others can enjoy, see in themselves, learn of, or ponder I have done what I want to do most in my life as defined in a shift to follow a dream of many years that I have had. I still have the many day to day things that I do normally but my restless mind and a connection to the out side world has defined a new era for me. This winter proves to be a lot of fun for me when the days are cold, snowy and miserable as when the chore’s done I shall follow my dream.

My grandmother on my mother’s side was a very good artist who even after suffering from polio as a young women was able to reform and define her skill to her left hand when her right had become weak and with practice she was able to paint a scene that would make you feel as though you were standing there in that setting. Her many paintings were of Laramie Peak here in Wyoming where she lived but tragically most of her work was lost in a fire that burned their house down, she simply was heart broken, never was able to recover and passed on years later without ever painting again.

It was thought at one time I may have had the same skill as I can draw some but the written word seems to be the one thing that sets my soul on fire. I will probably never see my work published but one can never tell, this does just that, I can share something that I enjoy in it imperfection at times I try hard but know better, the internet has given me the outlet here and on other sites though mostly here.

I have been a wordy fellow today and I don’t need to know if this is good I just need to know if this isn’t or not appreciated as this is my intent to share something enjoyable not something that is dreaded. Who knows, may even improve what I write as I don’t have all the answers. I’ am learning no matter my age just like every one else. I have the deepest regard for artist and their abilities and even though I have a long ways to go I hope this is a continuance of my grandmother “Alice” and her gift.

 

I dont think ego has any thing to do with at least this however I' am sure that my inner ego probably leaks out once in a while. Ha, Ha. I will continue to write, not vent just as I have and hope it is enjoyable and thought provoking.

 

Works for me, Orin! And,I think you'll find your written words much appreciated!

 

Orin, I enjoy your long posts. Nice to read something education/informative on a forum once in a while.

 

Hey Wyoming...hope everyone is enjoying their Monday!!!

 

kinda disappointed ken. this ball game sucks

 

That's an understatement Miles...Lester really sucked in the third!!! On the other hand...the Rays are really proving they are not a fluke!!! I do hope that they fall apart though!!!

 

Orin...I just read your post/explanation. Keep 'em coming bud...there's room for all of us here on FTE. Some of my posts tend to ramble also...read 'em if you want...ignore them if you want!!!

 

I had a feeling the kinda jinxed him by saying that he has not lost at home since June or July. Oh, 8-1 now. maybe tomorrow will be better.

 

Good morning every one looks like a beautiful fall day, supposed to warm up and get nice again. Thanks for the words of encouragement yesterday, it is appreciated. I cannot believe yet that I was referred to as macho or had an ego concern by my dearly beloved.

Every descend man though does need a reason for those times when he is not appearing in top form so I will simply say that I suppose if I had any feelings of displacement yesterday it was because of a retirement of 40 years of using tobacco. I did quit completely with no real cravings,

I suppose the trade off for the complete break is sometimes an unstable view of things even a year later.
