ok, up early of course. Except, it was at 3:30 cause I woke up. A little bit of sleep later, I’m up again at 5:40 I started training my replacement. We’ll see how he does. Went home, had a nice chat with my mom about the future, work, boats, girls. She finally pulled the “if [...]
Ok, quick run down in the Life of Bill. Friday I dropped off the Scouts up at the Firestone Scout reservation in City of Industry. I picked them up on Sunday. They won first place in gateway, and second in overall campsite. Not a lot of competition this year, but they still did good. Friday [...]
I need a couple engineers to give a demonstration/teaching lesson on what you do for a Boy Scout Troop meeting in October. Multiple, wide variety would be great. I’ll be covering woodworking and heavy equipment, but more is better. We’d be open for it any Tuesday, about 7pm, in October in the city of Downey. [...]
Scoutmaster calls me up at 5:30, and tells me he can’t make it. Great. Gary is in Alaska, Chris is up north on vacation too. I must say though, I can put together a pretty kick ass program on a moments notice. Sean pulled it off well, but Andrew needs a little bit of work [...]
I will be at the batting cages tonight for the Scout meting, so I will not be online and around till after 8:30 or 9pm tonight… despite my away message that will say “at work, trying to make some money”
Just got back in from Tim O’lenick’s Eagle Court of Honor. Went well, a few snafu’s… but it was the first time we had tried that format, and had not done a rehearsal, so it really went ok. Only thing that really irritated me was a group prayer event, done by the District Chairman. First [...]
I know, I’ve been quiet this week. Actually, one full week. Last Saturday, I drove out to Brea to take care of some Troop banking business. Quite unsatisfactory. Then there was the full busyness of the work week. Had Sherman, my counterpart from North Carolina out. Educational for him. Pin router issues are mostly resolved [...]
Joshua Tree was fun. We got up there, did a short day hike around the area of Ryan’s campground. We went up the trail, then took a short cut over to the main trail, to go to the peak. Well, that’s not all that happened. The trail on our topo map has disappeared, been erased [...]
I got the majority of the project done today. Idea is proven, several times. Now it’s just fine tuning it. So I was actually able to leave by 4:30! tomorrow, I’m up at 5 am to be on the road by 6am to Joshua Tree for an over night backpacking trip. Will post pictures when [...]
