OK OK, I know its been awhile again. But geez, I've been busy having fun and living life!
Silver Lining:All right, here's the deal. I just got back up to our hunting/fishing getaway to get it ready for the summer and fall with the other two guys that partner with me. We went to start the water and there was a hole in the water heater! That was frustrating. The good news here is at least we have water, we bi-passed the heater so now we just have cold water. Hey, when we first had the place last year we didn't have hot water for a month or 2 and we lived. What a beautiful and peaceful place to spend the time.
It Could Be Worse:I could go back to not having a great place to go to hunt and fish! I mean this place rocks! Thanks to Trin (Bubba) for stumbling onto the place! Love ya man!
Life Coach:Find a place to unwind. Life is way to short and stressful! You owe it to yourself! Remember to take care of you, then all else will fall into place.
Homework:Unwind! Nuff said.

Hi there!
Silver Lining:
I woke up today and it was 34 degrees!! What the heck. Does crappy weather ever get you down? It sure gets me bummed from time to time. I WANT SOME SUMMER! Well, the good news is when summer does get here I am going to appreciate the heck out of it. No staying inside for me! I'm going to golf, fish, jetski etc. Remember to never take a beautiful day for granted!
It Could Be Worse:
I heard in Winnipeg it's supposed to snow! I also know that the North and South Pole aren't warm...OK I know I'm stretching here but geez.....34 degrees in May!!!!
Life Coach:
OK seriously, we get to choose what brings us down. If you let the weather get to you, that's your fault. Just try to make the most of the day you are given.
Homework:
Be happy, it's your choice!

Hi all, I've been a major blog slacker lately I know but I'm going to get better.
Silver Lining:
Ok, lately I've been working and hanging with my girlfriend. And then came today....mothers day. I'll tell you what, if your mother is still around you really need to tell her how much you appreciate her. I'm not going to get all sappy. I just wish I could call her but I can't. Silver Lining: I was able to for years. Oh and I still do appreciate her and I do. My buddy and I were talking about how we were raised. I have no complaints. My childhood was awesome!
It Could Be Worse:
I don't want to forget people that I care about. I mean, what if I didn't have the memories??
Life Coach:
When you do great things in life, succeed etc. just remember all the people in your life that have helped you along the way. I used to feel like I could do it all myself but I've realized that would A. suck and B. it's just not true.
Homework:
CALL YOUR MOM, TAKE HER TO LUNCH OR SOMETHING DUH!!

Hello all!
Today is a tough one for me. I just found out that a great person passed on. His name is Brian. Brian was a guy I went to school with. He was a bit older than me but always treated me like an equal and not some younger idiot. He sure could have, I was at times. We had some great times together. He had this great red Jeep and one night we were going into Portland with the top off. We went about 115 mph. Oh, and no doors either. Crazy I know but damn what a thrill. He had the thing all tricked out and he used to set off car alarms with the rumble it put out. I haven't seen him in years and man it makes me sad to know hes gone. Silver lining???? Well, I tell you what, I have nothing but great memories of him. I know I've said this before but all we can do in this life is hope that we have a positive impact on others. Brian sure did. I said a prayer today for him and I hope God treats him well. He deserves it!
It could be worse:
I'm just gonna say that every time a friend or loved-one passes on, I think I better get off my ass and get some shit done that I've been putting off. We're still alive! Let's enjoy every minute!
Life Coach:
Everyone should wake up and thank God that we get another day! Enjoy your kids (like mine in the picture above celebrating after a goal), spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend or whomever! Consider this, what do you really want to do? Heck, just go do it! I was just talking to a friend who was frustrated with a person that wasn't treating her very well. I told her that there are only 2 types of people, builders and destroyers. You have the choice to hang out with the builders and let the destroyers negatively effect someone else.
Homework:
Make a bucket list! Ten things that you want to accomplish!
Here's a start of mine.
Learn how to play the acoustic guitar
Own a home so I can buy a dog
Move to someplace warm
Write a book
Fish the amazon for Peacock Bass
Go to Argentina and hunt ducks and doves in the spring
Get in shape and go to the boundary waters for a week long canoe trip
Stay drunk for one week (I have a good shot at doing this one)
Become a motivational speaker
Win an argument with Eric and have him admit I was right.....in writing!
Please share your bucket lists with me. Maybe I'll publish them here!
