Can you sing in your dreams?
An evening to type; how great it can be. How I wish more of it.
Chickens and Ducks,
They are doing great and are all so much like a flock 
(the ducks with the chicken) that it really amazes me that I am now a keeper or birds. Lol. My Roo, the Jersey Giant, is now almost up to full crow and I believe size; with this I need to find a good inexpensive vet, who knows birds, to cut out Rex’s (the roo’s name) little but load voice box so I can keep his giant self around longer. He is a beautiful, some what tame, black with red bumpy dangle things, monster of a large bird with all the makings of a great flock keeper someday. The white ducks like him so much, that when I pick him up one of the little buggers bites at my toes when I am wearing my old worn out Rock Port sandals. It tickles really as it nibbles away at my little toes, but every once in a while they hit a tender spot and I cant help but to laugh like crazy and pretend to run from the little guy; it of course chases me as a laugh until I almost cry. The homemade chicken coop is staying together quite well and looks pretty good too.
The six birds stay in the yard now that the ducks can’t get out. Just the other day there were many openings in my front gate that could allow the birds, dogs and pig to get out as they
please. I had some fencing to put up to try to keep them in, but it has been so hot out that trying to put up the galvanized steal was out of the question. Since we have been getting this little bit of cool rain here lately I was able to trap in the yard so non can just walk out; the chickens can fly over the short fence if they so choose, but they wont leave the ducks for long and come right back. Now that the yard is secure I let out miss piggy for a little while each day and she just loves getting into all my plants and eating them. She is cute but is not so cute that I won’t eat her. I can’t wait for the chickens to start laying eggs so we can start eating nice fresh eggs.
I don’t know how many of you know how much I hate to shave. Well I hated it until now, I purchased a new double edged chrome safety razor made by Merkur. The blades are super cheap and the shave is closer than any shave from home I have ever had. I have used so many expensive disposable razor and two electric razor and could never get a good shave. The razors that did do an expectable job only lasted about three shaves before I started getting razor burn. My electric razors never cut it and I only kept them for when I ran out of expensive disposables and didn’t want to buy refills. I thought about learning how to shave with a straight razor but a good blade is pricey and I am not sure how good at sharpening I am. So I started looking into old school safety razors. I found the Merkur on Amazon and it had like 369 five star comments for 
it. I put it in my shopping cart and waited. When it got here I raced to the bathroom washed my face with some warm water and a clean rag (no soap), I lathered up my face with some Barbasol Beard Buster and cautiously went to town on my hairy face. At first I was really taking my time and being overly cautious, but after about the first cheek being clean I started speeding up and shaving like normal. By the time I was nearly done I was flying, three days later when I shaved again it was like second nature and the fear was gone. I cant wait to shave tomorrow before work. I will most likely be getting Sarah one to since I read a few comments put up by women who said they would never go back to any other razor on the market. Sarah is just nervous about cutting herself.
Arianna Lore Shirk, Aunt Connie and Cousin Alicia got to see the very few pictures I have of you yesterday. They say you are the most beautiful little girl and that they are going to be praying that you will get to know me soon. I know you will find me someday and your family here will be waiting with open arms.
Thanks to Uncle Mike, Macey and Reagan got to go fishing for the first time ever. We were at Sarah’s grandmothers for my weekend and the four of us tried to catch some fishies. All the while Reagan wanted to look over the edge of the old wooden dock scaring the crap out of us and his mom who sat on the boat ramp watching . Macey almost hooked all of us at least once and wanted nothing to do with anyone casting for her. Reagan just wanted to sword fight with the poles. So there were five of us, Macey, Reagan, Sarah, Mikey and I. We had a good time until the mosquitos attacked.
The same weekend as above we all went to Swan Lake and took some great pictures. This one is amazing. I love Reagan’s curiosity and the time we got to spend just looking at the fish here in this little pond. Reagan was so amazed by the fish and wanted to just grab at them as they swam by us. We hung out here for a little while after everyone left us just so I could enjoy some daddy son time. I wanted to put him in the pond but there is a camera beamed on the pond; plus I wasn’t sure if Reagan would have liked it much. lol.
On the 28th Sarah and I celebrate our second wedding anniversary. Two whole years have just flown by and I have loved every second of of it. Our plans are to start the day with a fresh new tattoo, then nice tasty dinner; from there we are going to a strip club and finish the night with a walk home from our local bar. all of that is great fun and way cheaper than a hotel on the beach where we have to be out by eleven. I love you baby, I cant wait till our 60th anniversary.
Goodnight my friends
Goodnight Arianna Lore Shirk
Im up, why not?
1:00 am everyone is sleeping and I am awake; not wide awake, just awake. My posts are to far apart this year and I am allways wanting to write about something. While I try to relax enough to go to sleep, listening to some brainwave music on Pandora, and listening to Reagan and my wife snoor Im going to fill you in on a little bit of wht has been going on.
The Lincoln.
She is gone for good and all I have are pictures and memories. The Lincoln had some problems that were just a little to much for me fix at this piont in my financial life. The cooling system needed to be over hauled, raidiator, hoses, freeze/ core plugs, and the block needed a good flush. The air ride system failed; as did the window motors, locks, electric seats and the sun roof started to leak. As you see they were all minor things that just added up over time. The core plugs would have been the only major expence and if they were the only expence I would have gladly kept her on the road. At a hundred thousand miles she was only getting broken in. She was the best car I have had to date. I see more Towncars in my future though.
The Tbird
The cooling system and the brain went. I was hoping to hold onto this car for a while but two doors and two kids dont work so well together. I will miss the cold AC.
Remember a few posts ago I wrote about the pigs finding their way out of thier pen. It was quite a hassel and was happening more and more and really only when I wasnt home. These events the pigs planned out were troubling me because I didnt want them to get hurt by a dog that seen them walking down the road or hit by a car. I tried to strengthen the pen pilled dirt up higher around the fence to slow their digging. But to no end they tried me over and over. So I had Sarah stop buying meat so the deap freezer could empty a little. My budy Jonny came over one Friday night and the big brown pig got harvested. The process didnt take long since it was my second time around doing this. Jonny shot the pig and hes was heavy enough that it to three of us to get his hooks on the Dclip in the shed. This guys was a stinky fellow too. His meat was put one ice and salt for like almost 72 hours. Where in that time I added more salt and ice regularly so the meat wouldnt spoil while I waited for a day off. The salt actualy helped the meat taste better we think, and I dont think we have much of any of the meat left now. The bacon came out great… I mean Great! We still have miss piggy and wont be eating her. Next time she goes into heat Ill prolly sell her off. She now stays in her pen and still doent like me. She does love the treats I bring her though.
Since the big pig is gone and miss piggy wont be around much longer I invested in some chickens. I know, what is he thinking, well hey we got them as chicks around Easter And I wanted to see if we could get some eggs out of them. It has been almost four full months now. The first two months the birds stayed in the house in Coco’s old cage until they were big enough to go outside. The kids loved every minute of it, Reagan would wake up in the morning and run right for the cage just to see the bird. By birds I mean, six chickens and two ducks. Yes two ducks. Duck eggs are supossed to been great and if they dont lay eggs for me I know their meat tastes frickin great. Macey wanted and wants to hold them all the time; there are a couple of the chickens that dont mind her but and I have to catch them first. Reagan is still to rough while holding the birds. But he sure can catch them. He knows how to chase them into the coupe and corner them so they are easy pickins. I built the pen for them mostly made of recycled wood found on old paletts. I baught nails, screws, hindges and chicken wire. The cost wasnt to bad as long as the coupe lasts a couple years. Of all my birds onle one stands out as the coolest. He is big and black. Yes I said he; he is a rooster and is houge too. A Jersey gaint that lives up to his name. We havent give any names out yet but he may get one soon. Did I mention he is enormus next to the other chickens and is basicly the same size as the ducks. He doent mind me holding him and walking around with him either. he hasnt figured out how to crow yet. But I am looking for some one to take out his voice box so I came keep him. The birds have been feasting on all the goodies my yard has to offer and some the Denis’s has to offer too. I think I like having the birds around for now. Since they have been outside no one has messed with them except a few kids one day. I dont think they will ever again though. They chased the ducks into the road and ran one over with their bike. My neighbors caught in on their security camera. Sarah nursed the little guy back to health though and after about two and a half Weeks he was out with the othes and in not showing any signs of a broken leg anymore.
Alabama
Well they have left me hanging. Maybe not my contact. But human resources sure did. So Im still not in the echo field but I still have hope. I am going to be signing up with some echo groups and getting insured so maybe a doctor will let me do some volunteer work for them. After some time of that maybe I can get into a hospital. Time will tell i guess.
Up above i talked about getting rid of the Town car and t bird. Sarah really wanted us to get a van and with a lot of searching and saving we did find something she wanted, a 99 venture. I like it too, but it is no Lincoln. It has a new motor and Trans and rides nice. Franco motor sports hooked me up nice so I sent them my brother Johnny who needs a van too. Well in a couple weeks he will have a van too. So we are down to one vehicle now and I must save for something for me. I was thinking a little 350 Yamaha rd. One of my customers has one garage kept with low miles that I may take off his hands if I can get the price right. I may just build a gas bike though to save money all around.
The Trump Van
Well its 2:20 now and I think its time to call it a night
