Camping.....Oh what fun!

Camping over Memorial Weekend!!

What a great time, food, drinks, friends, and family.

Let's not forget the FIRE!

Just ask Ethan.

NIMBY!?!?!

Work has been slow all year, we have a wind farm starting in Dekalb and Lee county. There happens to be a group that is trying to block this farm from happening. It is a sad day when groups that are trying stop forward motion of energy usage from fossil fuels to renewable energy. I think I would much rather see this outside than a Nuclear or oil/gas fired plant in my backyard. Unfortunately the people who want this stopped don't even have a turbine on there property, and some don't even live in the county they are just obstructionist. Maybe one day people will look beyond tomorrow toward the future of what will be when our children and there children are grown. What is the worse that could happen by switching to renewable energy? Whole new markets, jobs, innovation, and possibly a cleaner environment all good for the future. Boldness is necessary, too bad we are in a perpetual election cycle were corporation and their lobbyist control the government, not the people.

What is the old saying....

Lead, follow, or get out of the way!

We need to Lead or we will be moved out of the way.

That is my thought of the day.

Well I am off to write another letter to the Prez.

Golf?.?.

Our Ironworking Charity Golf Outy was pretty successful this year. I had the pleasure of golfing with my Uncle Bill, Cousin Billy, and John. They pretty much Carried me through the outing, since it was my second time EVER golfing. Good thing it was best ball. I had a blast, I think I could like the game.

This was one delicious bottle of wine for any wine people (maybe even none wine people) I would highly recomend it. From Washington Columbia Valley, not too dry not to too fruity very good.
I drank the whole bottle preparing dinner. I went for a walk after supper with the kids which was needed. I would definately buy this again it was good. By the way I think my sister Pam gave this to me, her loss.

Summer time is here and I have been very delinquent in keeping up on this blog. I will try to do better. Work hours are long (but it is work) and my email, facebook, ad Blog have suffered. Here are some latest pics of the kids activities. Chicago and the Green Festival at Navy Pier, Tubing and swimming at Castle Rock Lake with friends, and just hangin by the pool! So far an awesome summer.
