If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Hey
Have you ever been part of an organization, group or gathering that runs like a smooth, well oiled machine? Everything is good. It is highly functioning, effective, efficient, and liked by all. All of a sudden, under new management, someone starts tinkering with a good thing and ends up turning it into something totally different than what it was designed to be and accomplish. Now it isn't as effective. Now its not efficient. Now it isn't liked by all. Everything ruined over time by different people putting their spin on it.
As things change, people start dropping out, which seems to invite more tinkering with the system and more changes.
Aren't some things just better left alone.
Just a casual observation from someone who is willing to let things alone and not putting my personal spin on something that has worked for years and is now going to hell in a handbasket.


I can't be a part of it

Weighty Issues

My weight has gone up and down for the past 2o years. Loosing the weight has never really been a problem. The problem is keeping it off. I have worked out fairly regularly over the years and maintain a descent amount of muscle. I have always maintained my strength.
I worked with a guy I haven't seen in 20 years. The first thing he said to me was "Man, the last time I saw you , you were a ball of muscle, but now you're a ball of fat". OUCH
As a fat person , I am sick and tired of this condition. I feel this is my last chance to loose weight voluntarily while I am in general good health. I'm going to show Rusty what the old me used to look like.
This picture is just a sick joke. I'm tired of being that guy

Night Work

I love pouring concrete at night. The air is crisp and clean. The cops are nice (allowing me to break the noise ordinance). There is not much horseplay. Everybody just takes care of business. By the time the sun comes up , we will have poured an acre of concrete 6 inces thick. As I observe the guys pouring, you can feel a presence of God. The stillness of night and the noises of machinery abound, but God is here. Tonite the feeling is overwhelming. After a great weekend, it feels great to experience this. Got to go, they are wondering what i'm typing in my trailer in the dark.

Kimbo Slice has Heart

Something about this guy facinates me. It's not his fighting. He's not a technical fighter. It's not his intellect. He is extremely street smart. It's not that he's so popular on You Tube with his street fighting. It's his heart. He has the drive and will it takes to be a fighter. I think Saturday he might get beat. That would probably be the best thing for his career.

Sometimes I question my heart. Can I look myself in the mirror and be content with what I see. NO. I guess the heart is what drives me to become a better man, husband, father and fellow worker. There is always work to be done and God willing I'll get there.

Blessings,

VP Debate

With the way the news anchors have treated her, I would say she is more than ready for tonights debate. This outfit and other attire was suggested by current VP Cheney.

Let's face it, how much does the VP really do. Everything goes thru the House and Senate and is reconfigured before any decisions ultimately effect the american people. I just hope I can find out about her tonite instead of her just having to defend being picked as a running mate.

I can't wait till all this stuff is over. Have a great day.

Blessings
