Free 2022 World Cup Score Sheet Poster Download!

 It's that time again and I know there's at least a few people out there that know to look here for your next World Cup poster.Well, hopefully, I haven't disappointed anyone.  I will say that I didn't bother looking for another high resolution World Cup appropriate image for the background.  I simply used the one from 2018.  Other than that, everything else got updated and I'm hyper excited now for the games to begin.  Bummer that we have to wait until November, but oh well.Here's a link to the PNG version.  Also, I should mention that I put the time to the games in Central Daylight time zone (USA).  It's where...

Conscious vs. Sub-Conscious

Yesterday, Lyric and I were discussing a topic that I find very interesting; the difference between conscious thought and sub-conscious action. There is much that we don't know about this subject and probably even more that we think we do know about this subject but don't really know.  In my experience, I have found that humans generally lack the humility to honestly admit that we don't know how things work, especially in our own minds.  With exponentially less humility than the general public, the so-called scientific community is far less likely to utter the phrase: "I don't know" with regards to the functions of the brain. ...

9/11 Reflections

Today is September 12th, 2018.  Yesterday marked 17 years since the "September 11th attacks" and it didn't go by without some thought.  For those of you who have read my past blogs surrounding the events that occurred on September 11th, 2001, you know that I don't believe the official story which is what has become the historical narrative of what did occur that day.  I won't be going into the many details why I don't believe it.  That's not the point of this blog.  What I will be sharing is the epiphany that I had this past week as I reflected on the events that day. (For those of you who believe the official story...

Free 2018 World Cup Score Sheet Poster Download!

I've pretty much stopped blogging altogether.  However, it's that time of year life again for another World Cup!  I created a free World Cup 2018 Score Sheet Poster (mainly for myself) and for all others to enjoy! 2018 World Cup Free Score Sheet Poster Download Here are links to the full-sized, high resolution PDF and PNG versions of the score sheet pictured here to the right.  They're pretty big files because I designed them to be printed at 24 inches by 36 inches.  Staples will print this as an "engineering print" (black & white) at that size for only $3.  Printing in color is best so that you can see...

New Roof

We are blessed to be able to put a new roof on our house.  We're especially excited about it, because our house needed it both practically speaking as well as aesthetically speaking.  We had a few shingles blow off entirely after a super-windy night and had several others that broke their seal and flipped up, creasing them to the point of breaking.  Upon further inspection, the vast majority of the shingles had had their seals broken and were thus subject to damage with future winds and likely had their nails securing them partially pulled up allowing for potential future leaks. Our first obvious challenge was that we were provided...

Blind Faith

Last Monday night, we were watching the third episode of a television show on Netflix called "No Tomorrow".  The show is a little quirky.  I really enjoy most of the comedy of it, though I am annoyed at the usage of over-sexualized humour.  But, this isn't a review of the show. There are no spoilers in this blog (in my opinion) in case you're worried about that.  I'll only summarize the basic plot that you would've known anyway if you had only read the tiny description of the show in the Netflix browser.  The premise is basically: girl meets boy, boy/girl like each other, girl falls for boy, boy tells girl that an...

'59 Slow Progress

I've barely seen my truck in the last ten days or so.  I've had some other things going on.  For example, last weekend, my only real goal was to clear out some space in the shop so that I could move some of our "project" furniture being stored in the garage out to the shop.  It has been getting cold here in the Ozarks and I was determined not to spend another winter morning scraping the night's precipitation of my car windows.  Up until this last weekend, we have had this oversized two-car garage with only one car and a whole lot of stuff being stored in it.  Though, I'm happy to announce that after just 367 days of...
