hello

i guess i wasnt supposed to have it but i am sad

i will keep trying

walt

matter of faith

if you ever have a question about your faith or the bible and how it relates to a particular "problem" in your life. please dont hesitate to take it to yor pastor, reverend, or whatever they are caed in your denomination please dont let it cause doubt in your relationship with God.
i am speaking from my past experience it isnt god to try and figre it out yourself, it is what they are trained for.

hello

Hi all i think i am finally getting over my cold so i dont have to worry about you getting my cold from reading this lol
not much really going on we are finally getting busy at work now that it is snowing

it is amazing how no one wants snow tires until it snows

other than work i basically have been resting to feel better

hope all of you are well

walt

2009 is here

well as most people i made some new year resolutions and one of them was to be better with my posts on the blog and do it on a regular basis

well this past saturday i took the oarts for the motorcycle and dropped therm off for paint
i have a friend who teaches at Wyotec and i am getting it done for the cost of the paint

on another front i have been officially been promoted to a standard clown in the clown brigade, most of my skills are behind the sceenes stuff more than performing but i am improving there too

today in this corner of pa we are having freezing rain (yippee)

catch you soon

Sundays clown practice

Well this past sunday- the one right after Christmas- i went before the board of review .
the reason for the board of review was another advancement i have enough proficiencies to move to the next level in the clown brigade which is Standard Clown.

well i went through the board of reviews and was asked to do some balloon animals and some questions from the proficiencies i have earned and out of 50 i missed 4 so i got a 92 %
yahoo

well next is the brigade counsel approving the advancement and it will be official yippeee

want to wish everyone out there a happy, healthy, and blessed New Year.

God is with us always!

December 27

Well the Pittsburgh are had a verry unseasonable day so much so that when a coworker was walking to eat and park he saw a group of bees that were out of hibernation.
Do you know what else was out of hibernation? Motorcycles.
thats right it was around 60 degrees and there were alot of motorcycles runnimg around.
not mine though, she is torn apart and waiting to be sent out for paint.
well tomorrow is church then clown practice (Later this morning really since it is 2:35 am Sunday )
well it will be interesting to see what happens with the weather for the polar bear runs that happen on jan 1st

i guess i should give a slight explanation to the polar bear run i have to miss for the 2nd year
it is where on january 1st you get out the motorcycle and go for a ride to bring in the new year right
in the polar bear run temperature is not a concern but snow and ice is
so if it is snowing or icy its usually canceled but if its cold its not but depending on how cold it is decides the length of the ride if it is really cold just showing up is the ride but if its warmer you gather then actually go for a ride but i guess you figured that out
being in the south west corner of PA it is usually COLD but it might not be this year after seeing todays temp and naturally i tore the bike aspart on christmas day so i was stuck riding in the cage(car)

i guess i will try to sleep some more just wanted to get this on here

walt

Christmas

well i just want to thank you for reading this and wish everyone a Merry Christmas

Well its been a while since my last post.
we had a clown advancement ceremony and I am now a junior clown from apprentice.
i have been doing a little motorcycle riding really just back and forth to where i need to go no real jorneys.
i guess it has a bit to do with the gas prices.
i am getting ready to learn about knitting socks i wonder if i wanna go toe up or top down toe up makes more sense but i dont know that for sure
i also will be going to a family camp through the Salvation Army next month so that should be fun.
