"Realistic"

Being realistic everything that I need costs at least 100 dollars or more 
so i don't think I'll be using this card soon

front coils springs 200 
recently paid car insurance 200
 renewed registration 110
soon to do paint job 400
Back to the house project "I was really being unrealistic"....
putting sliders on the dresser drawers
making a closet
Of course with the cold nights having to install insulation under the floor

i saved some money on the wire because we get scraps from work, 
untangling it sucked..

using that wire to run switches that turn the light on from one side of the room
 
and then able to turn it off from the other 
then adding a front door knob
right now working on slider drawers for the kitchen cabinets
so back to my off in the distant future dream 
 each one of these cards has about 13 hours of music on it
 7 years of me playing everyday
the more I record the more i realize that in order to be a 
real recording musician you have to put time in, like its your job
recordings NOTTT FUN especially learning how to record Ive been working on the same song for years because its not about finishing the song its about learning the process of recording a song.

  the problem with this is I can't keep up with the stack of songs I have 

so for my new years resolution
I am going to do my best to put a song on every two weeks 
heres one

"Chance"

I am soon ready to take "THE CHANCE"
 Been collecting money as I pass !!
every week for the past 4 years 
   with that money, accumulating the tools required
been doing the grunt work
and been fine tuning, what my PASSION... is

 making sure 
when I take that "chance card" 
I'm ready for it!!

 got a taste of "chance" had 2 months, no work.
 with hardly any money coming in, 
that made me realize "the boat better float"

so while enslaved, still need a lense 
been using my phone for the close ups
Got a little debt, damn Hippie workshops 
was needing a keyboard 
but got my christmas bonus today,
Yesss!!

4 months rent
Figure I can get on my feet by then
find a way to make work, work for me :) 
a little more money on my recording studio and house
but mostly its just labor to do. 
then its time to flip the "chance" card around...
   and I don't think I'm going to trade this in.
  my plans not to take out my work week just flip it, have a 5 day weekend
meaning having Freedom to do my own work, which are on these cards. and have a 2 day money work week.
                         I'm sure it will be a three day but heres to looking up.

To Life in the Making



This books helping me to understand and not feel so alone in my ways,
at least so they say on the book. "millions of people bought it" so at least a million feel similar ways







this was how i was feeling when i was out of work for couple months 
how many eggs how many baskets
but now its more like this.

i still manage to do the basics though
sauerkraut still making
chickens are getting bigger
they say this^, but to me heart is also where the home is.
so I've been working on mine

it was hectic at first trying to figure out how things can fit 
but its slowly coming together
crown molding for the ceiling

 with some rope lights tucked in around the perimeter to add non direct lighting 



got the faucet, the R/O water system and basically everything from habitat from humanity
its amazing what rich people give away when there moving in and remodeling
there houses and then giving it to habitat for a tax write off convenient for me
this was made from a solid oak threshold for a door, I cut it into strips I was trying to save money, 
but ended up burning out the motor in the table saw. so it costed me way more 
than if i were to just buy the wood new.
"2 steps forward one step back so they say"

glued and weighed it down


walah!!!!!


big cutting board 


diced some cabbage for sauerkraut for the first time on it


that felt good




there it is so far. still got to add more character, but got the basics 

.
put in running water and ran electricity to the stove, fridge.





"

its just one thing after the other no dead ends here just cycles



you know that reminds me  some times i actually don't mind waiting at a stop sign cause you never know who you might see"
