I don't know why, but they were stuck there on the road for hours. Some without food and water I presume. That got me to thinking. Is my vehicle outfitted properly.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQeK3K8aTvasViloyGEF_B-OAGgIBEVtKOP19u4O7qMeFPkxheAaputwhA9zAV8XDf14OjIgvl7e2R1d_L6aUDGYQidLQH_dXCrROVzv34NS3qszobf6VM-a1OO_iqatw2lOYvvQQJqzpIn-SB1U_75M-FATeb3ftqiZv7Gk50AmSbR8RZWGMH7dYc=s500" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="500" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQeK3K8aTvasViloyGEF_B-OAGgIBEVtKOP19u4O7qMeFPkxheAaputwhA9zAV8XDf14OjIgvl7e2R1d_L6aUDGYQidLQH_dXCrROVzv34NS3qszobf6VM-a1OO_iqatw2lOYvvQQJqzpIn-SB1U_75M-FATeb3ftqiZv7Gk50AmSbR8RZWGMH7dYc=s320" width="320" /></a></div>Or what about a situation where we have an Earthquake, or society has really gone to pot and zombies are out in the roads going for people. <br /><p></p><p>Not likely, but anyway if something really bad happens, even at home, do you have a place where you have some emergency items stashed away? What better place than in your truck, where if you needed a quick getaway, it's already in there. And if you're home and your vehicle is just out front (and not in the garage where if there was a really bad Earthquake and buried), you can climb out front and get to it. </p><p>So I spent some time researching, and thinking about what I could do to get set up. First off, the dogs.</p><p>I had a Dog Couch in the back, but they had chewed it up and it needed to go. So I built a platform that rests along the inside edge of the truck bed, and supported that way, with an additional leg on the inside. Then got a sled and some quality containers to store emergency items. Instead of me describing what's in there here are some videos of the complete setup:</p>

If something isn't right, you go back online and initiate the return.</p><p>I did all that, printed the return label for the one item that didn't fit, and had it shipped back. But now I get an email a few weeks later saying that they haven't received the items yet and I'm going to be charged. </p><p>So not only do I not have the unwanted item, but they are going to take my money for it.</p><p>Sounds likes a scam to me. </p><p>I'm never going to use that service again. Amazon's customer service on returns has typically been awesome, and I've never experienced them not getting a return, but this wardrobe try-before-you-buy thing seems flawed. <b>Lesson learned.</b></p><p><br /></p>Gordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04541143607121401766noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197216990634719175.post-61421419415066517212020-08-21T15:24:00.000-07:002020-08-21T15:24:28.215-07:00Order of Man - Gordon Gridley's principles of purpose<p> As a subscriber of the <a href="https://www.watchwpsn.com/" target="_blank">Warrior Poet Society Network</a>, I discovered this <a href="https://www.watchwpsn.com/order-of-man-1">Order of Man podcast</a>.

The rule is to only refer to Trump's actions and not Biden's failures. So here goes:<h4 style="text-align: left;">Why is Donald Trump your candidate of choice?</h4><div>I'm not actually sure I'm voting for him. I REALLY want to vote for a third party. The two party system is a sickness that our country just can't seem to shake. It's causing such a division and it's been who is in power, and is winning, rather than really talking things out as a group and coming up with a satisfactory conclusion. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm looking seriously at <a href="https://jo20.com/issues/">Jo Jorgensen</a>. But I'll save the details about her in another post. This one is about Donald Trump, and why I would consider him:</div><h4 style="text-align: left;">What policies do you feel strongly about that he supports?</h4><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://gordslearning.blogspot.com/2020/03/social-distancing-its-nothing-new.html">He supports the unborn's right to life.</a></li><li>He supports the second amendment. He supports "America first", meaning we should be supporting US jobs by buying "Made in the USA" products. I agree. </li><li>He supports law enforcement and defies anarchy and destructive organizations.</li><li>He isn't afraid to mention God </li><li>I've seen many of his meetings with internal and foreign officials, and he is very good at the way he conducts himself and praises the efforts of others in these in-person meetings. </li><li>Space exploration.

<br />
<a href="https://www.sheplers.com/tony-lama-mens-brown-junction-waterproof-work-boots---steel-toe-/2000243966.html">Tony Lama's Brown Junction Waterproof Work Boots - Steel Toe</a><br />
<br />
Upon first inspection on the details inside the boot.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Made in China? Seriously? I realize the reason for making in China is to reduce cost, but what is more American than a quality cowboy boot? I don't want it shipped from the orient. Nothing against the people, but I want my money spent on USA made stuff.<br />
<br />
According to this website: <a href="https://usamadeproducts.biz/footwear-cowboy-boots.html">https://usamadeproducts.biz/footwear-cowboy-boots.html</a><br />
<br />
It shows Tony Lama boots are made in the USA. Not so. They may be HQ'd here, but the boots aren't made here. That's crap. I'd be willing to pay about 30% more for a boot knowing it was made in the USA. I'm not like most people though, but at what point does a company abandon their manufacturing in the USA in order to keep costs low?<br />
<br />
Very disappointed. I'm about to quit purchasing certain items online, so I can inspect the details of where they are made. I once bought a 2nd Amendment jersey that I discovered when it arrived, that was made in China. How ironic.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some are comparing the infection/death rate of covid-19 to the swine flu, or other virus' and how much more deadly it can be.<br />
<br />
As of 3/20/2020, taken from <a href="https://www.fox13news.com/map-confirmed-covid-19-coronavirus-cases">John Hopkins University</a>, the number of confirmed Covid 19 infections worldwide are 275,429 with 11,397 deaths. The death rate also increases/decreases based on the infected individual's age and global location and access to health care. <br />
<br />
For simplicity, the death rate would be 11,397/275,429 = 4.14% globally.<br />
<br />
Many like to compare the covid 19 virus to the flu and show how much more deadly it is. The death rate for the seasonal flu is about <a href="https://www.livescience.com/new-coronavirus-compare-with-flu.html">0.1</a>% So since we are comparing apples and oranges. Consider this:<br />
<br />
The CDC reports that in 2016 in the USA there were 3,941,109 births.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gw6ZG_UhBfzqEcMsKyveOEZomIyD8FTuRb-siwlm8T-9kbI26KwbAzIgMLnrQdGB4ALgBgGP37knnxrGupVmTPRYex5gP2m8gPkh_bUbwcN3tRWCHgyp3iBApsb3BeHiFWp6r0G2yY0/s1600/fert-ovum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="553" data-original-width="800" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9gw6ZG_UhBfzqEcMsKyveOEZomIyD8FTuRb-siwlm8T-9kbI26KwbAzIgMLnrQdGB4ALgBgGP37knnxrGupVmTPRYex5gP2m8gPkh_bUbwcN3tRWCHgyp3iBApsb3BeHiFWp6r0G2yY0/s320/fert-ovum.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
That same year in the USA, there were 623,471 abortions. That's a death rate of 13.65%<br />
<br />
So out of 100 humans that were brought in to existence, nearly 14 of them were intentionally discarded. Like an infection. Treated as if they were a disease. A virus for which there is no vaccine. Except we are talking about a living brother or sister.<br />
<br />
Social distancing? That's been going on for millennia. Not only have we as a world kept our distance to the ugliness of the practice of abortion, but we've glorified it, fashioned it into a badge and labeled it feminism. We haven't been fighting for those that are unable to defend themselves.<br />
<br />
Instead we've been keeping our distance from the millions of voices that have been silenced and kept in the dark. <br />
<br />
Replaced with justification, rationalization, antagonism, indifference.<br />
<br />

Total panels are 11.15 KW with 42 panels total.<br />
<br />
This second round with One Solar was more painful. Slower to go up, customer service a little less IMO. Still have one more panel not reporting and it’s like pulling teeth getting it resolved.<br />
<br />
I heard that Rocky Mountain power is getting greedy and going to lower the rate they buy solar power. So I’m looking into getting a few Tesla wall batteries so I can cut the cord on the greedy bastards!<br />

I've removed my account.<br />
<br />
I wish the President and all other government officials would do the same. It's extremely counter productive!<br />
<br />
Apparently only 3% of twitter users account for 90 something percent of all tweets.<br />
<br />
If you are a reasonable person, you should consider dropping this poisonous social media resource as it's becoming less thoughtful, and more of a place to whine and backbite.<br />
<br />
Consider the scripture 1 Corinthians 13:1 -<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.</blockquote>
The sound of a bird "tweeting" to me sounds like a tinkling cymbal. Sounds like prophecy to me.<br />
<br />

I noticed a large bug floating on the water. It was dead. Solid as a brick. It looked like a massive wasp. I used the net to scoop it out and put it on the hot tub cover. It's legs were all curled in and it had drowned. It's body was about twice as long as a normal wasp and it had what looked like a massive stinger coming out it's rear, but it wasn't exactly coming out where the stinger usually is.<br />
<br />
Here's a couple pics I took:<br />

After posting this pic on facebook asking people to help me identify it, I noticed the abdomen was starting to move slightly. Nothing else. Just the abdomen portion. I was thinking it was probably a female and there was a larvae inside that survived and was trying to get out. Here's the facebook thread:</div>

Scott Cotten definitely nailed it. Here is a great page dedicated to this insect: <a href="http://amazingnature.us/insects/pigeon_horntail.html?fbclid=IwAR2FMkLUkPL7iVvHDoDK5tlj7qqFFJYfkXe-vGV_NEYRrRkyFgK7zw5Kers">Pigeon Horntail Wasp</a><br />

<br />
<br />
After a while the legs started moving too. Just one leg, and after about 15 minutes, another leg. Then it was able to barely crawl along with those two legs. Within about 1 and 1/2 hours all the legs were moving and it wouldn't stay put. Just walk around.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wu_ozyvYdJg/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wu_ozyvYdJg?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe><br />
By the time night fell, it was just walking around in the same 10 square foot area on the patio by the hot tub.<br />
<br />
The next morning, I went out and searched and it wasn't there. But after watering the plant hanging by the hot tub, I heard a deep sounding insect wings fluttering in the grass. And there it was trying to fly out of the grass about 10 feet from the patio.<br />
<br />
I grabbed a rope and it climbed out of the grass on to the rope. I lifted it up to about my waist level. It attempted to fly, and I encouraged it "Go! Go little guy! Go!"<br />
<br />
After about five feet of flying parallel to the ground about 3 feet up, it then was able to get some thrust and flew upwards around the tree, and then landed way up high about 25 feet up into the tree. This thing may actually make it! Way to go little buddy. Sorry your swim experience ended so badly, and that you were able to cough up the water and get back to living.<br />

One at the top of my windshield, and another on the roof. How in the heck did they get there? The place at that time isn't bustling with prank playing teens or anything, so I don't think someone put them up there.<br />
<br />
<br />
They had to get there on their own, but how? They would have to climb the tire, then over from the axel up the wheel well and over to get on top of the frame. Crazy! I thought to myself should I just smash them against the pavement like I normally do to snails? I decided I'd see if they could handle a freeway speed ride to my Mom's house where I'd take a shower from the table tennis beating I took from Bruce.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NQWozHT3WNCu9cTVvbpzzpFNE6tydw5rE9a6BpwAzRn0aldmhzS56NGH5gB3OPAFTyTqUPGnr_RxzB2gS-x5aiGGhcqicGOjCMam5CQwpjFO2lowJmwBcaJ4ntKFaDBSzSd5ZXIjtTM/s1600/IMG_0606.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="1185" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NQWozHT3WNCu9cTVvbpzzpFNE6tydw5rE9a6BpwAzRn0aldmhzS56NGH5gB3OPAFTyTqUPGnr_RxzB2gS-x5aiGGhcqicGOjCMam5CQwpjFO2lowJmwBcaJ4ntKFaDBSzSd5ZXIjtTM/s320/IMG_0606.jpg" width="320" /></a>After riding the 2 minutes to the freeway, I noticed that the snail that was at the top of my windshield had veered to his right and was coming down my driver's side window. He didn't even look like he was struggling to hold on due to the wind generated from the speed of the car.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyusAIpSL_AIaCfazUvchx0GoGMGhcw_KcSa6TxlNzT8HluvnzXfgztXbSCfPPiOpx2xH-w6_t_XPdO2I_bZQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Crazy! Once I got to I-215 and went under the 2200 North overpass the sun had finally hit my car for the first time in the day. Within just a second, I heard some rattling on my roof where I expected it to be the snail that was on my roof. I looked over and saw the snail on my window start to go into his shell, and lose most of the contact he was making with the window and he was sliding. He fell off just a few seconds later.<br />
<br />
The distance they traveled in those 12 minutes was 15 miles. So let's put those numbers into perspective:<br />
<br />
Snail height: 2 inches<br />
My height: 6 feet<br />
<br />
So that means it takes 36 snails to match my height if they stood up on each other's shoulders.<br />
<br />
1 mile for me is 880 body lengths. The snail has 36 body lengths to match me, which means that if I were the size of a snail, one mile would seem like 31,680 miles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIuiJKKniQFS8qd9PVrY9Nkc45260TcGc8Q9YbBxcQ05EG7zL6XZBl7s5cvHTDdWNpZYEZNkO1oJZuCOPwUWVaLTjPZMHqgN83CfUCy1yinXOFHy8eVe1s_F-qAghSf-z2r9h_6hijdU/s1600/download.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="159" data-original-width="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIuiJKKniQFS8qd9PVrY9Nkc45260TcGc8Q9YbBxcQ05EG7zL6XZBl7s5cvHTDdWNpZYEZNkO1oJZuCOPwUWVaLTjPZMHqgN83CfUCy1yinXOFHy8eVe1s_F-qAghSf-z2r9h_6hijdU/s1600/download.png" /></a></div>
So travelling 12 miles at that size would be 475,200 miles! That's the distance to the moon and back!<br />
<br />
Then consider the speed covered in that time:<br />
<br />
475,200/12 minutes = 39,600 miles per minute = 2,376,000 miles per hour. That's Mach 3,096!<br />
<br />
<b><u>So let's get this straight, those snails held on to my car at over 2.3 million miles per hour, for 12 minutes going a distance equivalent to the moon and back?</u></b> All while holding their house on their backs.<br />
<br />
That's actually pretty scary how strong they are. All the more reason to crunch them and ensure they don't take over the earth.<br />

<br />
Over this past year, I've developed some favorite players in the sport and become somewhat of a fan of the following pros:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWJsp5DYd3c2">Lors Rorbakken</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogzv7Mw5OKY">Frode Haugland</a> </li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsf0K4sen4Q">Ronny Risoen</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
But ultimately, my biggest idol in the sport is Devon Larrett. So when I saw he was going up against Michael Todd (who is a friend of Geoff Hale, who is a guy I can't stand), I was excited. I've seen several matches of Michael Todd mainly using his "Kings move", which in opinion is a ugly way to play, but not completely illegal in itself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is the match where in my opinion Michael takes the King's Move into illegal territory where he rests he entire tricep on the table itself. That is messed up! Check it out.</div>
<br />

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Look at 19:27-19:34 the ref is eyeing Devon the whole time and MTs shoulder looks below the pad and his tricep totally resting on the table. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Look at the WAL rules here: <a href="http://www.walunderground.com/rules">http://www.walunderground.com/rules</a> fouls #10. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Something's gotta change, because the spirit of the sport is at a tipping point here I think. Just from an observer/fan perspective. </span><br />

I did a personal search and while the information that was returned was quite outdated, I was convinced it could be somewhat productive and paid for a one-month full access subscription.<br />
<br />
I did a search for my wife along with a couple of other searches, and the detailed report that I got for myself, ended up not working but simply forwarding me to another searching website which required additional payment.<br />
<br />
I thought the subscription would enable detailed reports for an entire month? Pissed off that I got scammed into a monthly subscription that really only gave me one detailed report.<br />
<br />
Never again. It was a waste of money and doesn't give the full benefits claimed. I would consider this site a scam!<br />

Apparently, their concern over my concealed carry is more important than my blood. It's their choice. Fine.<br />
<br />
I make a stand to my right to legally carry a concealed firearm, for the protection of others. Given the rampant tolerance for mentally insane people, and a gross lack of vetting firearms to those responsible to bear them, I'll take a stand against this anti-gun rhetoric. You want "segregation", you got it. My gun-loving blood apparently isn't good enough.<br />
<br />
If enough concealed carry holders did the same, It will "make a difference" against this backward thinking that a banning a tool will keep you safe. It actually just makes you a soft target.<br />

1) Two 1.5 hour long training sessions with the same professional that trained me in firearm safety: <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/profile/16844972777254823745">Jeffrey Denning</a><br />
2) Utah Concealed Carry permit class (which will include the paperwork and process to mail the permit application) + the application fees.<br />
3) A joint membership to the <a href="http://reddotfirearms.com/the-range.html">Red Dot Firearms range</a> in Layton for a full year - What good is the training, or even a tool, if you're not practiced and proficient in its use? This membership gives you free range time and a discount.<br />
4) I will encourage you to join me once a week at the range for practice, and if you join me, I will provide the ammo.<br />
5) $800 budget for you to purchase a concealed firearm of your choice and holster, once your permit arrives.<br />
6) A small gun safe to store your firearm when you are not actively carrying it.<br />
<br />
The above sponsorship is a value well over $2000, but I am truly interested in making a difference rather than just spew out words on social media, that really don't make a difference at all no matter what "side" you're on.<br />
<br />
After this first year, here's what I expect:<br />
<br />
1) You must practice.<br />
2) You must carry.<br />
3) You must continue your education in self-defense.<br />
4) Pay it forward as much as possible.<br />
<br />
I guarantee if you are an educator and feel timid about your personal safety and ability to help protect your kids, that if you take me up on this sponsorship your confidence and ability to resist potential "bad guys" will increase. You'll be able to focus on making a positive influence on those students without fear.<br />

It's not.<br />
<br />
If google search has any merit at all and someone does a search for the following terms:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Company-wide email etiquette</li>
<li>Business email policy</li>
<li>Sending email to everyone in the company</li>
<li>and any other, what should be, no-brainer type of ideas regarding sending internal spam to other employees.....</li>
</ul>
<div>
DON'T DO IT!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's no bloody way, unless you're in a startup with 12 people, that you know every single person. So don't send company-wide emails that aren't business related! Subjects such as:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I'm leaving the company, and it's been such a great time. I'll miss you. BULLCRAP!</li>
<li>My daughter is selling girl scout cookies. She'd love to have your support. EVEN BIGGER BULLCRAP!</li>
<li>"Free hugs" - just because someone left their laptop unlocked and stepped away doesn't give you the right to send an email to the whole company. If you think you're doing someone a favor, you're not. YOU SHOULD BE FIRED.</li>
<li>Many other topics, some of which are actual business-related emails. Don't send an email to the entire company. Use Chatter, hangout groups, etc. Broad emails should be rare and not a common occurance. It's bad enough when VPs and 'C' violate company-wide email etiquette, but then I have to get a "goodbye" email from someone I've never met or heard of in my entire life. Knock it off damn it!</li>
</ul>
<div>
Done.</div>

Charity Anywhere Foundation (EIN 82-0494672) founded by Gordon Carter, from Bountiful, UT was the guy Cathi worked with on this activity. The idea is that we will go to Tijuana, and be presented with a selection of families in need of a new home. Our goal would be to build one under the direction of Alex O., a construction expert that lives in Tijuana. He would oversee our entire week there and support us.</div>

On August 4th at 10:30pm my family and I flew from SLC to San Diego to prepare for getting picked up on Saturday morning. We stayed at the Best Western Yacht Habor Hotel not far from the airport. We were able to Uber our entire group in two vans for about $25. The hotel was very nice and exceeded my expectations.<br />

Very well furnished and provided for all our needs.<br />

Our task for the day was to go shopping at a local grocery store, buy food for three families which would last about a week. Boy do I wish I knew Spanish. I used Google Translate alot, but it wasn't extremely helpful. I noticed many of the grouping of foods were similar to back home so that made it easy.<br />
<br />
We delivered the food and visited (despite our lack of Spanish abilities Alex translated a little) the families.<br />
<br />
At the base of this picture taking the "selfie" is Alex. He was AWESOME. The woman next to Oliver was recently bitten by a Violin Spider which is a nickname for a Brown Recluse. Her leg was bruised up pretty good, and she had a small limp, but was getting better. She was a neat little lady.<br />

<b>Monday, Aug 7th</b> - first day of work. Carried lots of wood and supplies up the "steps of tires" to the work site.

Some time in the afternoon, I heard Cathi yelling "Go! Go!". She had arranged a competition to see who could climb all those stairs the fastest. I stopped to go watch, and Oliver ran up those stairs in about 24 seconds. Jacob was able to jump up those stairs in just over 10 seconds. He tried several times to beat 10 seconds and wasn't able to. Kylie was the second best with just under 11 seconds. I tried it, and got a 17 seconds. Austin also got 11 seconds. Fun times.<br />

Tuesday evening we went to the Tijuana Temple. Lucy, Jonas, Isaac and Sam were able to do the baptismal temple work for five people each. I had to perform the ordinances reading from a card in Spanish. I kinda butchered it I think cause they gave me an English card soon after. What a beautiful temple!</div>

This time big sheets of 4x8 plywood. Jacob again impressed everyone as he could take 2 and once he took 3 sheets in one trip! I was only able to take one. We then proceeded to put an internal wall separating the inside into two rooms. The entire building was 18 feet by 20 feet. We then nailed the entire side walls together with the internal wall and did the roof framework. Jacob was again the hero with the ability to just sit on top of the framework of the walls as he worked to put together the beams for the roof. Then we nailed the roof sheets on and got the tar paper laid out on the roof. Way easier than shingles.</div>

Wednesday evening, we went to the church for a youth activity: Handing out the school supplies that Isaac collected for his Eagle Scout Service Project, as well as give out the Soccer balls. Isaac had put together 48 individual school supply kits. Each kit contained a box of pencils, pens, markers, scissors, pencil sharpener, sheets of ruled paper, crayons. We transported 3 large 40 pound totes full of the supplies. Even though we presented all of Isaac's paperwork to the Delta check in folks at the airport, they would not waive the $25 charge for each bin even though I was told over the phone that the fees would be waived. That was annoying. Thanks a lot Delta. Customer service at its finest.<br />

It takes quite a while to get through the border. So we finished up the chicken wire. Jacob and Alex and many of the other kids worked on the electrical. Then we got all the drywall up on the inside walls. We installed the window. We worked to the very end of our time. I wish we could have had another week to get all the details completed, but we've done a TON in one week and I'm amazed at what we were able to accomplish. We grew attached to this cute family even though our communication barrier was quite overwhelming. </div>

We had a lot of fun, were able to use the funds to build a home and help feed other families. We are planning to come back for another project next year!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We felt so grateful for this opportunity! We felt so happy to come here, enjoy the culture, work together, make something that would be a real help to this family. We'd love to come back and visit them next time we make it in to Tijuana for another project. Thank you Gordon Carter and Alex for allowing us to do this! We'll never forget it.</div>

I was able to be a driver for three people over that time and earned a total of about $25 including tips. It was kinda fun providing this service and getting paid for it.<br />
<br />
I was emailed about possibly attending a conference with Uber while they were in SLC. But for me, being an Uber driver was initially done out of a curiosity rather than a real need for extra cash.<br />
<br />
I just received an email this morning regarding the official rules of conduct of being an Uber Driver/Rider. Here's the standards: <a href="https://www.uber.com/legal/community-guidelines/us-en/">https://www.uber.com/legal/community-guidelines/us-en/</a><br />
<br />
I totally agreed with everything until I got to the section:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Firearms Ban</b><br />
Uber prohibits riders and drivers from carrying firearms in a vehicle while using our app. You can learn more about our firearms prohibition policy here. <a href="https://www.uber.com/legal/other/firearms-prohibition-policy/">[1]</a> If you violate Uber’s firearms prohibition policy, you may lose access to Uber.</blockquote>
For me, having a stranger in my car required me to be prepared should my safety be in jeopardy and I need to defend myself. I simply refuse to trust anyone to enter my car to be compliant with the Uber standards. If they get in my car and attempt a carjacking, I want to be prepared to defend that action.<br />
<br />
It's not as if I would openly carry it or have it visible at all. For those three rides, I had my firearm easily accessible but completely out of sight. In the United States, we are finding more and more of an attitude that by simply banning firearms, that bad-guys will respect those rules. That is a false and dangerous ideology. Banning firearms on private property, fine. But what I have in my car, that is completely legal in my state, is NOT for Uber to decide.<br />
<br />
So goodbye Uber, I am done with you. You need to rethink the rights of your riders and drivers to carry firearms in a concealed manner by permitted users.<br />

Last Friday I took the day off work to attend Jacob's CHS Graduation. He sure has done well in school his senior year. The last two semesters he got straight A's. Pretty awesome. Not bad for a kid who did his fair share of sluffing, and sleeping in a few times missing his first period. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This last Saturday was the Great Salt Lake Race that I help Josh Green manage. We had 15 one mile swimmers, and 13 10K swimmers. I was able to talk Isaac into swimming the one-mile the night before the race. At first, he was reluctant, but I used a little bit of reverse psychology on him. I mentioned that it sure would be cool if he could swim it. He instantly said no way. And then Mom perked up, "C'mon Isaac you could do it!". I paused and said, "Maybe he's right Mom. I mean he's never swam in the Great Salt Lake and a mile sure is a long way." After a few seconds, he said, "I could do it. OK. Sure. Yeah, I'll swim it." Pure awesome.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">It was funny after he and the other swimmers did their 100 yard jog in the ankle deep water at the start to get to a swimmable depth, I heard Isaac yell out at the top of his lungs, "It's Salty!" Haha. You think?</span><br />

Cathi helped me paddle for a 10K swimmer. That race consisted of three big loops that started and ended at the marina. I paddled the first loop (which took about 1.5 hours). I also had Sam and Oliver on the kayak with me. It was tough. Then Cathi took the second loop, while I took pictures of the one-mile swimmers. Then relieved Cathi for the final loop. Everyone was dead tired, including the race volunteers. Cathi, Oliver, and Sam were zonked out on the way home in the van. Isaac, however, was on a "swimmers high", as he sat in the back thinking about the race and every once in a while talk about what he was thinking/feeling during the race. I'm so proud of him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As soon as we got home, Cathi took Jacob and 5 of his friends up to the cabin for the weekend. Grandma and Grandpa also being up there. Mom spent like 5 hours preparing food on Friday night for this. Jacob was gone and had no idea how much effort she put into making his "Senior trip" a success. He's getting pretty serious with this girl from Spain, Natalia. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last Sunday Sam bore his testimony. He did so right after one of Slagle girls did. He always does it right after her. So I knew he's got a little thing for her. But he said something in his testimony that demonstrated his lack of understanding of Heavenly Father and Jesus. So we had a family home evening lesson helping the kids understand the difference between them, and the common misunderstanding that people have on what role they have, and the names they go by. With their purpose all being the same it is understandable how they can be intermingled.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yesterday, Mom received an email about someone in the family that renounced their faith in the gospel and left the church. While I'm not bringing this up to judge, it made me think. Sometimes I wonder about Cathi's spirit. This might be considered blasphemous probably by Catholics, but I think she may be made of the similar spiritual strength as Mary. Almost every day I catch her sitting on the toilet reading her scriptures out of her very worn quad, with printed programs, and pamphlets intermingled in the pages. Or finding her kneeling beside the bed in prayer for seriously 10-15 minutes. What the heck! And she is constantly building people up around her and saying kind things. I totally married up. I joke every once in a while, that I totally have a free pass to heaven as long as I hold her hand nice and tight. What an angel. I'm so glad she's so strong in the church because there are a few things I've determined in my life that I will never even consider:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) Divorce</div>
<div>
2) Going inactive</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They are both actually interdependent. If my faith in the gospel diminished, then so would my belief in our eternal marriage. If I turned my back on my marriage, then my dedication to the gospel would obviously go to pot. Both go hand in hand. I love my wife with all my heart, and I love this gospel with every (pardon the cheesy cliche) "fiber of my being". haha. Seriously, though. Not a chance I'll turn my back on either my wife or the church. </div>

<div>
Some thoughts to consider:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">When we are obedient we strengthen our faith. When we justify disobedience we plant a little thorny black stinky seed, compared to the tiny mustard seed of faith. This thorny black stinky seed grows to be a nasty old weed that bears all sorts of gross fruit: Cynicism, Justification, Pride, Gluttony, Lasciviousness, Worldliness, and Idolatry. </li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">I love the statement he makes, <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "open sans" , "zoram" , "noto sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.8px;">"Your faith is either growing stronger or becoming weaker."</span></li>

<b>Update: I've found that this is supplied at a few Smith's stores, but not all. So I'm buying them out whenever I visit and stockpiling this. I know, I'm nuts.</b><br />
<br />
So I've been buying literally dozens of boxes of this energy drink over the past year. I've tried several different flavors and brands, and after finding one that is just perfect. I used to clean out various stores of their inventory as I'd stockpile this flavor. I especially like this drink because it keeps me awake in the morning. Getting up at 3-4am to swim and then go to work requires a pick me up, and being Mormon, I can't exactly start drinking coffee, except I might as well with the amount of caffeine this stuff packed.<br />
<br />
I've gone to 6 different Smiths stores in the valley, and none of them have it. I called and talked to a Smith's buyer and it's confirmed. They are officially discontinuing this product. This is probably the last unopened box in the state.<br />
<br />
I've tried to find an alternative similar to it, and can't find anything. Typically Kroger brand is some knock off of another more expensive brand. Not so in this case.<br />
<br />
Don't know whether to save this for the day when predatory aliens arrive, or to save it and sell it on Ebay for hundreds a year from now, or what.<br />
<div>

I want to cry....<br />
