Helping a Friend UPDATE! (Pt 1)

-
Let me catch you all up on my friend Albert's situation...... At the beginning of February while attempting to make it town for supplies, his ARGO broke and he ended up sliding down a hillside into a frozen creek and snowdrift and was unable to get the ARGO out. He ended up hiking back to his cabin. After accessing his situation and supplies at the cabin and with no other way out he contacted me through SKYPE and tell me what happened. Upon hearing about the ARGO and that he only had fuel to run the generator for a few more hours he decided that he would need to be rescued. We figured that if I could get some fuel to him to run his generator for a day or two that would give him time to gather some important papers, his animals and winterize the cabin.
I managed to get a hold of a friend that had two snowmobiles and after hearing the situation he offered to try and get some fuel to Albert and work out a Evac plan.
I got 15 gallons of fuel, met my friends son and with the snowmobiles we headed to the parking area out side of Marrysville and got the snowmobiles down and headed out to Albert's. It was a long slow ride with gas cans strapped to the back on the sleds but a little over an hour we pulled up to his cabin
Albert was happy to see us and fuel we brought. After filling the gas tank up and re strapping the cans to the sleds, we spent a little time warming up in the cabin and discussed when we would return for Albert, his pets, and get him out. We decided in two we would be back to get him out. In the mean time my friend built a makeshift sled to pull behind the sleds so Albert could carry a few more things he might need...............

The Situation in Texas: I can't believe all the people who disobeyed the manditory evacuation in Texas before Ike. If you didn't listen to the Mayor's evacuation order and choose to stay there then you chose to take your own like in your hands and have no one to blame but yourself. You made your bed and don't want to sleep in it now. You should be left on your own. I think the FEMA and the National Guard should worry about the people who DID leave and the utilillies first. If you disobey a manditory order you are sayiing "To Hell With That" and you choose to stay on your own, then you should help your self. If you choose to stay in your house when there is a Huricane barreling down on you, then I have no sympathy for you. and you would not be a priority for me. People who obey the laws and who need help would be first on my list. IF you don't follow the laws, you are relying only on your self. I don't think the State of Texas should be resueing cry

Appreciation???

I recently got into discussion with a family member in Pennsylvania about appreciation. She is one of those people that has to volunteer everywhere in her community and has to take over certain clubs because she thinks she and her family can run them better. She complains on facebook that she never has time to do anything for her self because of it. Recently I posted on facebook that I was going to enjoy an evening ride on my motorcycle, and she commented that she like this. I responded that last I heard she wasn't even riding their bike because they just don't have time for it anymore. I said I think you should sell the bike if you're not going to appreciate it and give someone else a chance to appreciate it instead of it just sitting there not being used. She replied that the bike cannot be appreciated because it is not human. I replied that I guess people shouldn't appreciate nice homes, fine wine, art, sunsets and a bunch of other things. She then replied that she l

                                                                                                                                              Jan 12, 2015 Here I go again....      Monday was a relaxing boring day in the life. Got up, showered, fed the dogs got dressed, played with Sasha before heading to work.       Work was productive and got some inventory on the shelves. Shipped a few orders. Kinda of a boring day.       Got home, played with Sasha and noticed that Brooke had something seeping from her ear. At first we thought it was blood and that Sasha might had been playing a little too rough with the old dog. we washed Brooke's ear and think an infection in her ear is draining. We decided to check it in the morning  and go from there.        We relaxed after that and watched Mysteries at the Museum that we recorded on the DVR before heading to bed.
