Well,
Just took my Geology Final.

Before starting,
The Instructor stated that in her 5 years of teaching at UNG, THIS has been her favorite class.
I believe the sentiment to have been heartfelt.
Then, someone suggested a class picture.
So, a randomly passing Teaching Assistant was found in the hallway to take the picture.

If anyone is interested,
I'll see if I can figure out how to post it.

The final was brutal.....
50 questions, each worth 2 points.
And 8 extra credit questions covering the Student Presentations.

Yes, a question from my Presentation was one....

Thursday is my Math Final and,

THAT is the one that I'm worried about.....

---------------------

I just sent an email to Sonja at Disability Resources,
to confirm my attendance at the Board Meeting next Tuesday.
I'm beginning to think they may want more input on location of parts...
I really am not sure....:dontknow:
I think that before I started volunteering, Sonja had to try to keep equipment in useable condition.
Lord knows that she is already taxed with office duties and personal contacts with the Clients.....

---------------------

I feel prepared for my adventure in the mountains, having packed and re-packed my ruck 2-3 times.
I really haven't given much thought to itinerary yet....

I just want to be there.
Then, spontaneity will dictate....

I plan on taking my Math final Thursday morning, come home, mow, blow and weed-eat the lawn,
pack up the gear and
"Head For The Hills!"

Be back maybe Monday morning.

However....
Remember that safe deposit box that was supposed to be opened?

I HOPE that it isn't on Friday.

Monday?
Not as bad.
Best?
Tuesday afternoon,
after the board meeting.
But,
I have no idea how long the meeting will last,
and I didn't want to ask Sonja and appear to be "inconvenienced"....
---------------------------
Certainly,
When I breathe a full lungful of Mountain air,
It will have the sweet aroma of success.
And soon,
the smell of twigs aflame in a fire ring that will lead to a hot pot of coffee and dinner,
will fill the air;
Thin columns of wispy smoke,
signaling my return to Paradise.

Hope all are enjoying Spring!

My Best Wishes,

Scott


PS.

Here's some music fer y'all!



(at 25:50..." Hey, you, White house, Ha Ha, Such a charade you are...." Too much politics? Never mind....)

An interesting research project to those,
interested in whom that tune is meant to imply, based upon when released and who was in office at the time.

Any researchers in the house?

I do not know. :icon_scratch:

Let the chips fall.

My allegiance is not within any of the constraints associated with the "Party Loyalism" of politics;
My Allegiance is in the Constitution, to the men and Women who have Served,
And to being a fellow human to volunteer, help and serve all of Humanity.

Tall order that I chose, ain't it?

I try to live it every day.....

Best,

Scott

Paradise?

Did someone mention Paradise?

Well,
We can go about this in many ways....

Let's narrow it down to music, shall we?

We could go this way...


(Gives a Fantastic concert, I know....)
This song has a very Special meaning to me;
When I lived in Kansas, and Carol lived in Oklahoma,
back about 2002.

I showed up at her house one morning to ask her to travel with me to the Mountains of North Georgia.
Someplace I had never been,
To camp and hike.
Folks, Carol was not an "outdoor" kind of person.
But I promised to her, and delivered,
My version of Paradise.

{sniffle}
Yes,
I have some pics....
Dang, sure got dusty in here all of a sudden.....

Every time I go camping, I pass the campsite that Carol and I once shared......
-------------------
Or,
We can go this direction....



(Also great concerts.....)
Such cohesiveness before the split-up. Such a shame....


You make the call.

Bill, RC, myself and all others who are "Thread DJ's" will surely post or request their favorites!

:headbang:

Rock it on, Guys and Gals!

Best,

Scott​

Oh,

Specifically,
The extra credit question from my Presentation was:
Where is gold found in Georgia?

Slide2.webp

I think I got it right. :dontknow:

At least I got that going for me....
And the correct date....
(and I'm pretty sure that I spelled my name right.....)

:laughing7:

My Best,

Scott​

I feel as though a handful of sand has been thrown into my eyes.
After this semester, my GPA will surely drop to preclude me of academic Scholarships.

I may now have to pay my own way......

The sand?

...

I am going soon where the world and I are one....



The madness will cease!

Yeah, Been there, Friend.
Worked with LEO to catch a Supervisor stealing supplies from the state.

I got:
A) A freaking medal
B) A promotion and raise, or,
C) Bogus disciplinary actions including talk of satan worship and eating of raw meat....

Well....

Raw meat....
Does Shashimi count?

Oh?

The outcome?

Well, as much as I'm allowed to state....

I appeared and represented myself....
The Decision?

I received a "generous" severance package and all files are closed forever unless my written permission is granted.

Yep.

Scott VS The State of Kansas....
Guess I won....

(For my Northern Friends)



Got 3 ex-wives and a world of troubles.....

Guess that's why I always seemed to keep movin' on.....

My, your and all of Humanity's successes once began with a thought, of betterment.

Evolution?
That thought then grew into an idea,
And from that idea,
Dreams were fulfilled!

May all of your Dreams be fulfilled!

My Very Best Wishes,

Scott

Can't wait until my planned campfire dinners....
