Happy New Year, maybe...





Yes that is me and see how big I am , so went looking for somewhere to find help and found this place, and not sure yet if they will be what I need , thou it looks iffy, yet guess I need to give them a few weeks at least, if they would stop trying to sell me more stuff, I left their name out for respect to them, but put up my correspondence with them, any idea's people




 I read this and know how she feels, but I am also 425lbs and need to find something to help me lose massive weight

is this a program that has to be downloaded? I was under the impression that it was a set of books....I do not want something I have to download....I feel as if you have scammed me, that being the reason it stated not to go back a page each time I went from one page to another....I am sure if I had been able to go back, I would have seen your program was not in book form. Shame on you.



I also see this and see another bonus offer that you wish to send me, unsure what it is but if it helps clear up stuff a little, sure send it, but I really maybe need to talk to someone too

         **Also, as a one time courtesy, we are willing to offer you a free bonus just to show you how much of a valued customer that you are! **
If you are interested in the great products that we have to offer, please respond to us and will be happy to send your bonus to you right away!

Unlike someone else, who would love this offer, and I hope they get offered this too, and by the way having it hard copy would be nice, yet I am financially broke and unemployed , mostly due to my weight and lousy health , unable to stand on my feet all day, and driving truck at 400lbs , with sleep apnea is dangerous too, but if I lose this weight then the world is open for me again... right??

          "If the hard copy is a better option for you, then we would be happy to upgrade you to a hard copy."

I do like the daily videos, but do you have to keep trying to sell me more stuff, especially, THE  6 pack abs, Thingy, I am over 400lbs and do not see getting 6 pack abs anytime soon, I will not say never, but most likely not, but why the push to sell something new  every time  we communicate, please enough already I can not afford this program, but need it or something like it, and would love the veggie supplements and krill oil, but can not afford them.

I paid rent for 3 months and then joined the Y for 3 months pre-paid , am taking classes, for cardio and MSROM, because I am so out of shape, I must go slow, and after the 3 months , which end in after FEB, I most likely will be homeless and jobless and still out of shape, depressed, and I do not want that for me , I want to live and work and enjoy my life, even if all alone, but without major change it is like I am committing suicide continuing the way I been going, CAN YOU REALLY , HONESTLY HELP ME, WITHOUT TAKING ALL MY MONEY,  actually you already took to much , but sometimes we must take a chance and I  hope this time I spent my last few dollars on something wonderful, guess only time and your response will tell

Sorry for rambling on you, but this is personal for me , THIS IS MY LIFE

Happy Boxing Day All

The weather is so nice here this was my Santa suit as I drove around delivering meals to those in need this Christmas Eve Day , and I had an elf to help me hand them all out, but we all know elves do not like their picture taken when they are working, sorry.

 Still on the workout thing but stalled on the weight loss , as nothing is coming off this past week either , and yes I am getting bummed bigtime , what with all the effort and time put in.

 Must run , be safe all

Are you still at it, or not?

No Not shopping, as I do not have to shop for anyone and thus my shopping is done before it begins, because if ya remember I have no one. I guess that helps me because I might have had tough time buying others gifts, but I also get none either, but it has been this way for years and yes it is depressing when I was alone in the truck on Christmas , but now it is easier and not so depressing anymore, as I am happy and dedicated now , still lonely and by myself, but I do have the people in my classes at the Y and the Rehab pool, but no gift exchanges, yet, I barely know them this year, maybe next year.



But I was wondering if you were still on your weight loss mission or have you postponed it for the 2 week holiday season, tell the truth.

Have you cheated a little or lot

Were you happy with this past year, did you meet your weight loss goals??

I did not meet mine, this last year, but do have the coming year in which I should , as I am meeting head on this year , portion control is in place and excersising and still no NS foods, but who needs them, as I can portion my meals and snacks, right?



Gotta run , God Bless all

Saturday, do I cheat , yes or no

My before picture


My after picture


Well a guy can dream , RIGHT ?

Will weigh in on Monday for this last week's of working out.
I got my TAI Slim products today and will begin them on Monday too, as well as starting my pool aerobics too, M-W -F in the pool and T and Thurs 2 more classes in aerobics, back to back.

Wish me well, as I again jumped into an empty pool without looking for water, but with my belly I bounced up and kept going, and will see where I get to .

gotta go later

A little good news, check it out

My Bloodwork came back and all is well no Type II, no High blood Pressure or Chlorestral, actually all was fine and well within the ranges they were supposed to be.



Amamzing for a 450lbs pounders, well less now, but still 400 is a danger zone, it was another reason why I was hoping for NS , but with great news like that guess I really do not need it and when I lose all this weight it will not be credited to NS for the reason, because like John last night on Biggest Loser , who won 250 thousand dollars, but was put thru hell to get there, I am notnsure I could hold up under that super intense workouts, would try my best but that stuff is tough on top of tough.

So I will lose my weight but not credit anyone but those on my blog giving me support and prayers, and those at the Y helping me now, guess they watch the show and say I remind them of John a little bit, my size and attitude at least, I will take that compliment any day.

Maybe Weight Watchers, they help those in troubled times and was told maybe I could find a shopping buddy, since I will never get NS food, and I can live with that, honestly, which means no more NS bashing in my blogs , as we all know they do not help charitiy cases, give Christmas 2 for 1 's , just , oh well , never mind...it is time to move on, be the better person, and keep ya all updated on my journey, and will let you know what I choose to help me , when I find it.

PS:  THIS IS MY NUTRISYSTEM BLOG, JUST PASTED HERE, OKAY

Till then God Bless All,

Patrick

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Yep I lost 15lbs in 2 weeks, but got back emails from NS and thry want there money , all of it, no special deal or Christmas for me, which is okay, but my offer of buy a month and get a month free, was tunred down, or to get maybe dinners and snack , no dealing at all
Gimme the money, like any other business, so asking them for help will not be done , and as so many asked me to do, it has been turned down everytime, no love for the poor people, only smart rich people are welcomed here.
I came here because my hero Dan Marino and Don Shula were spokes people for it, and I trust then and been trying for years now to afford it, go read my post in the forums, my blogs and you will see my struggles, and yet I keep going and never quit, thou it took a long time to dedicate all my time to my weight loss and better health, at least 90 days anyway, then God know where I will be or end up, but till then I stay the course of working out each day and going to my classes at the Y here in Grand Forks, and will worry about it then .
Was hoping to have help with the food halve of my 90 day commiittment to maybe accelerate my chances of weight loss, but that will not be done with NS, so I can not comment on how well it worked for me, because I could not afford it, sorry.
But I will not quit my 90 day, well down to 77 days left to work on the weight issue, so be it, Faith and love will guide me thru it.

God Bless all

Sunday, what a day, slept in till 1030am

Well a few pictures to make you smile and enjoy them as I did not take these, just thought they were cool and should be shown again to others.

I was asked what I will do why I work out and get in better shape, and I currently do not know what I will do. Am I worried about this, sure a little, but if you been reading up on my blog then you will know it seems I am always in this situation, wondering where I will be and where I will work, so this is knda normal, but getting very old living this way, and stressful too.

What to do , well give me some idea's or better yet give me job and I will be no longer stressed out, lol
I will take donations too, an RV would be awesome, http://www.rvliquidation.com/index2.cfm?gclid=CKKm5Jrk-qwCFcYKKgoduX-wRw a brand new truck would be nice, anything on this page would be okay  http://www.freightlinertrucks.com/trucks/find-by-model/ 

I do not expect this to happen, but if you are a multi millionaire with no idea what to do with all that money I can help you, lol, and you can hepl me, and we van make it a tax write off, I am sure

Monday I do my bloodwork and will find out if I have Type II diabetes, or anything else I need to worry about, hope not , but will not let it slow me down or bum me out, why should I, I have other issue to worry about, lol

Friday, December 9, 2011

Unreal, yeah for any who know this is...438lbs starting point

I  have yet to visit the Doc , as I was looking for the free clinic to get a Physical and the blood work most everyone suggested I have before I get too far along with my new routine, well it was tough finding a place , as there really is no free clinic here that would do what I wanted done, there is the 3rd street clinic , but it will NOT do blood work and what they called not necessary physicals...no problem as I kept looking, went to Public Health they too did not do this and suggested 3rd street clinic, ya see the fun here.


Well it seems I must go to the Altru health sysytem, the Hospital here is Altru, but I have an appointment with a Family Doc and will be charged 150 or so , and have a possibility to talk to their business dept about reduced rates since I do not have insurance or a job, so it looks like I found the right place after all , see how that works out, guidance from above directs to where ya need to go, which is not the 3rd street clinic, lol

Now in my 1st week I have seen how out of shape I am , working out with Silver Sneaker, and unable to keep up sometimes, and it is kinda embarrasing, but also motivating too, so I have goals to reach and will stick it our for 3 months then , who knows , back to the shelter and maybe on the road again, but till then , MY ONLY JOB IS TO WORKOUT AND EAT RIGHT, AND ANY IDEEA'S OR SUPPORT WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

How do I make 450 last for 3 months of food, anybody do this before, anyone want to go shopping with me, as my phone is paid up for 2 more months, unlimited, a pre-pay from wal-mart, so we could shop together in different cities but at walmart for example, years ago I did something similar, but not for food shopping, and how many times ya see people never get off the phone when they are shopping, just a crazy thought, sorry , forgive me...


438lbs    58 BMI
66 inch waist / 31" thighs / 64" hips  / 59 " chest  / 20  upper arm / 19" neck


BLOOD WORK ON MONDAY

Monday, December 5, 2011

oh boy here we go

Yep bought 3 months at Center Court (part of the Y) here in Grand Forks and start my way to better health in the AM.



Had to quit my trucking job but have paid 3 months of rent and 3 months of Y membership , and that leaves me about 300 .00 to my name but at least I am beginning the journey.



Am I certified crazy, but my God I am so big I can not put on my socks and shoes with out major trouble, and that, YES THAT, too is very very difficult to do, shamefully so and my breathing is huffing and puffing all the time, leg cramps , like Charlie Horses all the time, constant neck cramps too, man what a mess, all done to me by me, no excuses my fault 100%., Can I change it all, or is it too late?

How many of ya been broke like me now and jumped into an empty pool. will run out of gas money before 3 months, and this is winter, -20 is normal here, worse with wind chill, and I do not have proper outside clothing, too expensive for my size , and really hard to find my size too, so another reason to lose some weight, to get clothes that fit, lol



God Bless All

Been Awhile , sorry

I know it has been awhile, but been busy trying to get settled in and set up, with my new place and job and finding a workout place, yes you read right, a workout place, the Center Court , a part of the Y facilities, so the best of all for me, and 50 a month for all I get , wow. A good wow, reasonable if used to the fullest.

I am in the process of decideing what to do this winter and it will depend on my employer and what he can arrange for me to do, because I can not work out and be on the road too, will not work , we know that, for me anyway.

Why a tires so expensive, 2 tires for my Taurus is about 250 installed, ouch , guess I need to buckle down and get some soon , as winter is close, real clsoe...lol.

Stuck in Scranton, overnight, actually almost 48hrs

Well I had my day at PID and well I did not win the life changing score , heck I even barely played anything remotely possible to give me a score that big. A few pick 3's and 2 pick 4's were to biggest exotic's I played and each was under a 12.00 a pop, I think 6 , 3( a 1.00 wager)  and 12, so not much spent and a few exacta's , some I hit , but not the higher priced one's, the most logical one's, which still made my day not a total loss, but PID made not fun either, having no where for me to watch and play the races , yet tables upstairs in the restruant went unused, apparently being saved for people who never showed up, I saw at least 8 tables vacated, the few time s I went up there to ask about a table, oh well, never again.

I am headed back to Calgary again from the Scranton area, actually Tunkhannock, Pa, what a name, but I couldn't make that up if I tried, so most likely I may get loaded late tonight , after midnight, but then sit till morning before I can actually , legally drive and begin the journey back north, regulations, sometimes they work against you, but we need them anyway.

Still nothing as far as a place to live in  Grand Forks yet, and honestly not really wanting to waste the money but, living out of the truck all winter would really suck bigtime, and motel rates are too much for me to keep getting a room all the time, and the fact of me not being able to cook sucks, but may help my weight, maybe, but then I must eat out too much, like always, YA KNIW LIFE SUCKS SOMEDAYS, AND THEN YOU REALIZE, you are an idiot because so many others are jobless, and would love to have your job, and for that I say come and get it, there is more room here for drivers, lots of room for drivers here, actually 50 or more for that matter, but then I could be worse off with no job and homeless too, so suck it up and be happy, and even then I find it hard to do it, day after day, and the sad part is I am making no progress towards my goals of saving money and such things, again I am only making enough to survive , not pack away enough in a year or 2 to have enough $$$$ to look at a finding a dumpy old REPO in south Fla, for about 10-30k  , a place to call home till the day the Good Lord comes to take me home with him, the OILFILED work is still there and will be , but not in my current shape, nope not a chance, but there at least I could make the money needed to try to buy a place in Florida, as a 6 month or 2 year gig in Oil work would more than give me the money needed to get a place, but could I survive even a 6 month gig there, not sure I could sad to say, can not lie to myself can I, well that's not true either...lol

Gotta run , hope when I do find a place I do not end like this guy, wouldn't that just suck...lol

Happy Halloween, A Candymaker's drean day

Well let me start this wekk a little happier than yesterday, ouch that was a stinger for sure, all true, but it is always lingering there in the mindset of your truly and I ad to put it out there for hope of handling it somehow, we'll see about that this winter.
Now I was asked about my possible wishes for my future, well owning a Bait Shop in South Florida is definetly 1 of those wishes, nothing fancy, just something to keep me going thru my older years and also put me in touch with the people doing what I love to do fish and boat in the Gulfstream off the southeast coast of Florida, ya'll have seen the picture below many times, it is near and dear to my heart. http://www.fishingworks.com/tackle-shops/florida/
Now we also know that this past summer I worked behind the scene's at Saratoga Racetrack, and boy did I ever have a ball doing it, best damn job I ever had, period, so maybe there is something there for trying to keep this job each summer, but finding living accomadations for the meet, may be more than the job pays, unfortunately, what to what to do, oh well there are options, but I guess back to the number 1 wish for me, would be a Bait Shop, owner /or worker, in South Florida, near Gulfstream Park Racetrack, and the Gulfstream Current in the Atlantic Ocean, after finding and buying a small condo or townhome, or even small house that is in foreclosure and be able to stay there without paying thru the nose, thus I would only have to work to pay utilities and taxes, which I hope are not overwhelming and I can afford to do, that is my dream scenario, and yet here I am in North Dakota instead, unable to get a job in the oilfileds to help pay for my dream to become reality, why because I am too fat to do the job required, no bodys fault but my own, but I dream small here and I do so because I wish to be able to do it, especially working in a bait shop instead of owning one.

Well Happy Halloween All

Sunday In Tennessee, what do I want to be, tough question

The picture of me is pretty accurate to my size now, and  I want first to get my health in order but after almost 7 years of crying about it I have yet to do anything , except to stop gaining and dropping a few pounds from 500lbs, down to 420lbs or so, and now I can not get under 400 lbs and this is due to 1 main thing, my own laziness, my lack of action and commitment, because I have talked myself blue and I know so many ways to do it, but have actually done none of them, My excuses and reasons are plenty, but the bottom line is my BIG FAT AZZ IS LAZY AND UNMOTIVATED TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING PHYSICALLY TO CHANGE MY WAYS,  I talk the talk, yes I do, I know what I can do or so many things to help me start to lose weight, but I refused to do them so far, WHY IS THAT, am I really suicidal, and do not know it, it seems that way with my actions, I refuse to change my habits and keep drinking and eating the wrongs things and will not walk any more than I need to and when I ask myself why, not anyone else, just me to myself WHY ARE YOU SO FFFING LAZY AND STUPID,  YOU KNOW BETTER AND DO NOTHING , WHY WHY WHY, and the only reason must be some form of DEPRESSION, OR A MAJOR DOSE OF STUPID, OR BOTH, but I need change and soon.

  You ever been so fat you have trouble wiping or putting on your socks, take a second and think about this sentence, reread it.   Read this , it is funny but.... not
http://forum.grasscity.com/pandoras-box/282786-how-do-you-wipe-your-ass.html

So the question of what do I want to be, well not answered here this time, give some time to come up with a well written answer, as I have thought of this question before and have played out a few scenario's that I would be happy with.

Okay 1st Payday at new Over the Road Job

Pretty sad 332.00 after taxes, not what I came out here to the big freezer of the country for, but then when do I ever get anything right. But hey I have a job and it is a great bunch of people I work for, was up in the homne office in Winnepeg on Thursday, what a place, and the people were all happy, yes happy and friendly, unffffingbelivable for a trucking comapny, just wish I made more money and did not have to be in the truck all the time, AND I DO MEAN ALL THE TIME, as I am living in the truck which is a major part of why I took the job, and I was promised soon enough to have a Brand New Volvo with Automatic transmission, and paperless logs, and these truck were suppose to be equipped also with fridge and APU's (Auxillary Power Units), mini generators, and I thought driving new stuff for the ewinter would be nice, and also I am still in North Dakota, so maybe I can set up something in the oil area for springtime or maybe some schooling, If and big time IF I can find a school for an old guy like me that would get me into something that will help me get what I am looking for, 25-50k for a small condo in Florida and who knows how much more to get something going there, here is link to how cheap things are right now, here is where I want to be, Lord help me get there , please, I will be happy there.

2nd day on the road, in Chicago


Well so far it took me 2 days to go 675 miles, not looking good for the miles needed to make lots of money, but then it does not look like they are pressing me too hard either, yet. I do not need to be over worked and pushed like trucks are normally done, yet, maybe in a month when back on truck time and I can run all day and all night , oh well time will tell.

I need to say each day I wake up I ewill lose weight today and I will walk , out loud and to anyone who will listen 3 times , about 20 times a day, need to re-program my mind that I can and will lose weight, any other idea's? Please anything at all.

It seems I am an Over - the - Road truck driver again, to me sadness

Yes it does seem like that I am hired on as driver for Britton Transport out of Grand Forks, ND, and funny thing is they deliver right to Saratoga Springs, Ny, to Logistic;s One, the place I last worked as Driver, small world .

I passed a new Physical, thou I am not positive all is well, but I am willing to try and see if my issues and fears are just some type of nerve's to make me stay off the road, as I had to do some big time soul searching to even consider taking this job, something I had hoped to never have to do again, and here I am doing it again.

I should be driving a New Volvo truck with an automatic transmissions, yet winter is coming and I must now deal with very dangerous winter conditions, not what I wanted , but hey work is work, and providing for myself is the bottomline, not allowing the system to provide for me.

So it will be a long hard winter and spring time could not get soon enough for me, but wish me well and God willing I can get my weight in control and help get healthy and maybe I can still somehow find a way to get a truck or 2 and get them signed on in the Oil Field, making my retirement monies, and yet I am forced to wait a little longer, oh well.

Tough decisions, for a beaten up guy

Nice pictures, they all hit home and give me a smile and piece of sadness too, but this post is a big reality check, I am here AND IT LOOKS SCARY, and I am not sure I can do this, PHYSICALLY.
Mentally no problem, but much more than driving is needed out here and I am not getting in shape like I thought I could, worse actually, guess OTR may be the only option for now, and honestly I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS EITHER, which leaves me where, living in my car and no, REPEAT, NO PROSPECT OF HOUSING , SO WHAT NOW??? 

Not sure actually, suggestions, anyone, I know Man Up and get to work, I am trying, but then I am getting all the construction drivers applying for Oil jobs now with winter coming, and most are getting them but many are now not with housing, as the housing jobs are filled , but when you think about it, of course they are, so keeping at it, but seriously looking at OTR job from Grand Forks, but lucky to get 500-600 a week if that, instead of , 1000-2500 a week, but then maybe not as hard either, nor as many hours,  naw bull dookey, I will do 70 hrs with either situation, who we kidding....

Gotta go

Sunday, October 9, 2011

Sunday, calm before the Job Storm begins

A few nice pictures of the sunsets and sunrises and fields of North Dakota, nice stuff in my opinion.



My concerns, my health, at 48yrs old, can I hold up to the beating I will have to take to work the oil fields, I hope so, otherwise I am in trouble, and then the cold too, real cold, Alaska type cold, with killer winds, what was I thinking, well I will tell you, I was thinking you live once, and this is where there is a chance to make good money for hard work and well I have to try  it , I just might make it work, wouldn't that be nice...

Saturday, October 8, 2011

A week in the Fields, of North Dakato

Well I spent a week hauling potatoes , only made 500 and all the taters I can eat, so let me recount my time here in ND, 3 weeks, 1st week recon  in Fargo motel and spent 300 or so and really got nothing for it.

2nd week drove my self nuts in a dump  truck, and about broke myself in two, what a shake up that was, as it was a reality check into my current health situation, which is terrible, but plod on , yes I do.

3rd week I get a better truck with sleeper and drove 12-18hr days and basically had 1 meal a day provided and a place to sleep, not too bad on the body either, now week 4 is where I go and try to find the job that I keep thru winter, or so I hope, but plod on , yes I will

Friday, September 30, 2011

Friday and time to move on, but a few pic's

This was the truck I drove for the few days I was here, overall it was not that bad, just the roads in and out of the pit and thr drop sites were horrendous and my back became unbearable, thou the last day it has gotten better, I still think that moving on may be best, for a few reason's...

1st reason.   The pay here is too low, way too low, and when everyone else is making 9-16 dollars more an hour add that up over a 60-80hr week, that is too much money to leave on the table, would you?

2nd reason.  Moving out west is going to happen as soon as I get paid for this short week, about 300 bucks or so to help me till I get hired on permantly somewhere , which Lord willing will be next week soon enough.

Working, but..it may not be for long, here in Devils Lake, ND

Yes it seems that I found a Job driving a Dump Truck building up the dike's around here after the flood in 2009 and it is a job, but...

I am actually blessed that I found this job, but my body is acting up on me , my back has become a nightmare and this truck and road has beaten me to death, honestly I am in so much jarring pain, and thou I need this job so badly I may have to let it go, I can hardly walk the pain is so bad, but 3 days I have went out and will again   if I can get up and out the door and in the truck and  try to get 1 more day , thus a few more dollars.

I still have plans and people helping me to make them work, but my body needs taking care of as this is only a job till freeze comes, 4-6 weeks max, which would of given about 3-4k roughly, but most likely I only have a few days left, doubtfully another week, I am in too much pain to keep going, maybe my back will bounce back into alignment and all will be tolerable , but I am not holding my breathe .

More later

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Sunday, 1 week into my journey to ND

A few sunsets, 1 from Lake Erie, the other one from across the bridge into North Dakato , and yes thou beautiful I still am not feeling as energetic as I should be , nope, just the opposite, I am scared this time, and with a real fear , my health, as I am very overweight and out of shape, more than I have ever been, and it scares me to no end. I quit smoking years ago and put on 200 some lbs, and now I am stressed so much that I am having issues breathing, after walking a little, or going up stairs instead of using the elevator, and Saturday I almost fell down the stairs when my knee went out, good thing I hold on to the rail.

But with all this going on, I will drive out to the west end of the state Mondsay and start looking for what I can find, maybe something inside, or a dispatching job, and or a cooking job or camp manager if possible, but having now very limited funds I am forced to go and see what may be there for me.

Wish me luck as I go and see what I find out there, and if I get stuck , then so be it, maybe I will head north into Canada, it will be a few miles at most...

Bless you all

Sunday, September 18, 2011

Sunday nite, here in ND, Fargo to be precise

It seem my driving habits are still ok, as I made good time leaving after noon and getting here before sundown on Sunday, allowing me to get busy Monday morning at the ND work force center.

Wish me well and let me hope I find something quick and that it is the one I will be most happy with, amen.

God Bless all

Saturday, finally leaving town

Yes it seems my life is on the road again, and also a few people who wanted me to stop by have decided to ignore me for the last week, and that tells me they do not want me to stop by, oh well,  guess I will drive by a wave at them, lol.

I am nervous, true, but I must go forward and do what I hope is the right thing, find a job to save some money , but enough about that as I have beaten that horse dead, bad pun, but we all know why I am going west, to find work, to save and hopefully make my life better, Lord willing it will work that way.

Still not sure about going thru Canada or not,but will get to Buffalo and then decide, as I should be in Buffalo tonight, well off to the wild wild west. 

wish me well, please

Friday and...then it hit me , run man run

Traveling Man is what I have been for ever, over 40 years I been on the road , living in the streets and moving on to the next place and never really getting settled , even when married , we traveled all over , from Alaska to Florida and everywhere in between, life has always been an adventure, so even thou I was happy here in Saratoga, I am now looking to move on again, but this time I am sure it is the right move, financially anyway, not because I felt like moving to ND, who does this in the winter, only someone who thinks he must, well I do

Thursday, on the road....NOT YET

It seems my presence was requested till Friday and well I was all too happy to oblige, and yet again I am set back another day or 2,  it seems things keep coming up to slow my roll, slang for hitting the road to North Dakato, but hey I will be there soon enough, I think, found A GREAT NEW WEBSITE, thanks to Jim, it is called www.coolworks.com great website and may find me another cool job. Too bad I just found it, may have to wait the season to get something, new, as coming back the The Spa next year would be awesome too, boy it was a fun gig for sure.

Gotta run things to do, but the pictures were the best shots of Manhattan that I could get going where I went in the City, sorry, but picture taking on 9/12 in the City was not easy, but I got only a few, forgive me.

Tuesday , desperation day for me as I need to get packed , NOW!!!!!!

Yes , it is time to go , and move on to something I will hate , most likely, but the $$ may make it worth the trip, or so I think, hope I am right.  How many years will I need to work to get to where I want to be, maybe long enough to hit the Lottery, forever I guess, what's a condfo in South Florida run now-a-days, anyone know this?

Am I scared , yes a little bit, why, well not because of the trip, but because I am getting older and not in the best shape of my life and it has me worried yes, I am almost 50 yrs old, and 400+lbs and LAZY, yes when it comes to hard work, not easy work thou , like driving for 12 hrs or more to me is easy work, but getting out and doing things , loading or unloading may be too much for me to do, then maybe not, but it has me worried a bit yes.


This is why I go to North Dakota to work my azz off to be able to enjoy this stuff one day in the future, other wise what do I have to look forward to, I have no family who cares and no one saying come here and visit, or move here we can get you some jobs, nope nothing like that for me so it is me againgst the world , so watch the FFF out world cause here I come...

Peace to all, and thanks to all those who know they deserve my thanks

Monday , long day into the NYC

Well into the Lion's den they call NYC, not too bad, in and out, stopped in Yonkers on they way out, will put a few other pictures up, but they did not come out so well, and I know that has not stopped me before, and will not this time either, but The Subway sign means NYC, period. Notice established 1646 for Yomkers, long time ago, for sure.

Well my adventure may begin soon, too soon, but then , not soon enough either, as my moeny runs out and then what, spending the winter here got me my car, a 400 car at that and who knows if it can get me to ND or not, we all will in time, say another week I will be there or else...
