Hey USA Gold is that Olympic gold? Haha I love to watch the swimming, the water polo and of course beach volleyball. Every once in awhile an athlete is just born into a sport. I'll never forget watching Mark Spitz and his what 7 gold medals? And then this freak named Phelps comes along, what a swimmer! I met Ryan Lochte. He was a pretty cool laid back guy. Welcome to the board!!!

Just want to say,

That since my first post on this thread,
Back in Feb. 2013,

I've made many Friends, and I suppose some enemies.

I've tried to work through any problems with Folks I may have pissed off.

Either their misunderstanding of my humor or me just being an a hole,

I hope that all will consider me as their Friend...

My First post on this thread:

I do not worry because I do not rely on government handouts;
The government has progressed from a necessary evil to just an evil.

Add me to the list.

Words that I would tell to all of my Friends....

Friend,

I know of volunteering.

I helped build a home for a Vet with Habitat For Humanity.
I've done College research projects concerning donations that resulted in hundreds of dollars for the local Animal shelter, and got me an A in the course.

I volunteered to repair medical equipment for a non-profit and received the "Volunteer of the Year" award and met Congressman Doug Collins who has helped me since with other issues.

When you WANT to make a difference,

You will...

I gave a link to the Boy Scout Troop in his Hometown...

Can anyone else help with some info or ideas?

My Friend is also in Georgia.


Thanks!

Scott

Perhaps too far to travel?

Scott,

Most of my education was self taught by the school of hard knocks....during my working career I was involved in giving an in house marketing course to fellow employees.

I had put together some real life case studies as handouts during the course....many of the attendees had MBA educations, I told them that's fine it gives you a good grounding in understanding the business world.

However, in the real world things don't always work out as per the textbook case studies, it's time to take off the training wheels and learn to think on your feet.

Many years later I still contend that advice is still solid, something to keep in mind going forward regardless or your field of study or profession.

Bill, my Friend,

Can anything compete with wisdom learned through age?

Be well and have a Great Weekend!

Well, hopefully tomorrow is the big day!!! Lol! Here we go again, I have a verbal agreement on the purchase of this sailboat. A 23' American Mariner with a nice galvanized dual axle trailer. I believe he will keep his word... I finalized my purchase of a mooring in the local harbor today, and have contacted a local diver to do the biannual inspection. I am really excited to learn to sail! Unfortunately the local wooden boat building and sailing school is closed to lessons now that fall is quickly approaching. But that's ok, in the spring my son and I will take lessons together. I don't think it'll be hard for me to learn...

WOW!

Been a long week!
Feel me?

Yeah!
Time to relax. Ya know? The weekend!

Time to cut the grass and other chores around the house before Fall Season.

And Domestic responsibilities like laundry, dishes, ad infinitum....

Thank goodness for the weekend for a guy to relax!

Sheesh!



Best,

Scott

Hope all in Cajun country Louisiana are SAFE!

[AU24K]

OK.

The next time I visit the mountains, I will take my guitar, write a song and post a video.


That's not too much, is it?

I've got an antique ipod and can load tunes....I think...

What songs would you want in the wilderness as inspiration to write music?



Or perhaps this...


Best,

Did I mention a house re keying job for the Niece of my Friend of the Wine and Cheese shop this weekend?

I see a bottle of fine Portuguese hearty Rose soon coming to me!

Y'all have a great weekend!
(Monday will soon be here....)

Best,

Scott

 

[dieselram94]

Scott, I bet you could write a awesome song with that background!

Woo hoo!!! I made it home!!! I got the boat for a great price!! From a great guy! I picked it up inside the Portsmouth naval shipyard...that place was cool!!!
My son and I are very excited!!
The boat is in great shape, mostly needs to be buffed to a shine!! Trailer is awesome with four brand new rims, tires and bearing buddys and its galvanized. Most of them around here strangely enough are painted steel and as a result are rust buckets. The sails are great, interior is a dated color but in good shape with recovered cushions. Now I'm waiting to see what the mooring inspection comes back as next week when the diver checks it and certifies it. Hopefully it's in great shape under water. Only the diver can see that though.

Here's a pic before we pulled it out of the water today...

Dram that is AWESOME BRO! Wish I was with you guys! Hey my truck has been at Ford for 3 days. My a/c went out. Needed parts ordered them, wrong parts. Aggravating but they gave me a basic 2016 F150 loaner. I told them I'm such a good customer they should have loaned me a Mustang GT! Hopefully I'll get my truck back Monday. Good job on that sailboat bro!!!!!!!

Thanks!!! I hope you get your truck back soon!! I hate being without my usual vehicle. That f150 is definitely a step down from your super duty!!!

I'm really impressed with how it towed as well, barely could feel it behind my truck. I feel very blessed to have gotten this boat. It will look awesome when it goes in the water next spring!!
My buffing wheel is calling! Lol

Hmmm...

Our weekend is nearly over, what have been the results?

Well,
For ole Scotty,

I got laundry done. Some dishes, too... but no grass cutting; Rained off and on all weekend.

I did the house re-keying (a total of 7 locks) and thus spread my expertise and potential future possibilities...

AND!

Remember the "Cold War Veteran" tag that I have been in communication with a Senator about?

Got a reply!
(Keep in mind that Government works slowly....)


Scott,
I wanted to follow-up on this with you. In order to have a tag like this, it would
require legislation. I have asked my staff to do some extensive research on the viability
of having this type of license plate and will look to see their findings. I appreciate
you reaching out as this has brought something to my attention. If I can be of further
assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

Kind regards,

Butch Miller
Senator, District 49
Governor's Floor Leader

Here's an idea...
How many of you will contact my Senate representative on my behalf of this issue that I bring for myself and
MANY other Vets Nationwide?

(Info provided)

How about YOUR Senate Representative for similar legislation?

Best Wishes, Always,

Scott



Oops!

I hope this post is not too.... "Political."

I intended it as how things get done. By Work! And with the help of Friends with similar ideals....

Hope that no "thin-skinned" person was offended by this post...
