One More Day

October is a busy month for blog world. Actual I miss being part of the blog world. I believe I found a way to get some photo up on my blog. Confession time....I'm not thrilled having to put my pictures up on my desk top (screen) to get my picture post. I just need to figure out how to post photo not sending it to desk top (screen)




I hope a few of you join in or let other know about the Ultimate Blog Challenge. One can travel via blogphere or facebook


Last year 2013 I took part in samhain sirens and going to this year.

Since we finish what we need to on place do to the painting project.  Sat in open molds on my pour table is 7 ornaments.  After I get these ornaments out and more clay(slip) mix up. Pour up 8 more ornaments.

Soon I won't be able to cast ceramics because my shop/garage will be to cold. My guess I will be able to cast ceramic one or two bucket.

I know the last post I did on my bottom of kiln and one can see  I have some painted pieces. These pieces was picked up at place like thrift store. The paint will be fired off and I'll repaint the items.

Every place I turn I only find only a few people who isn't in favor of affordable Care Act   I know some state extend out there medicaid program, Idaho was one of them.  I know most people in North Idaho isn't in favor of what some people call Obama Care. Confession-Statement time....I favor a one payer system for all something like combine our medicaid or medicare program....Question time...I wonder how many people are actually going over to healthcare
 to look in to it.  Both Murphy and I will look into affordable care this point I under stand to qualify for medicaid in Idaho one needs to be on disability program or your income under about $400 a month. You can own one vehicle doesn't matter the value. But here is kicker one can't own a home or anything value over $2,500. When medicaid was set up during President Johnson war on poverty in 60's. This was  a descent amount of income. We have a clinic here that works on sliding scale. For us to have anything done in clinic cost us $35 dollars and my blood work was $130 dollars. Places is connect to Kaniksu works there billing also on a sliding scale.  I heard this my be anther part of the affordable care act to have some medicaid program on sliding scale.

We won't be going to health care dot government on first but before the end of the month we will have visit and look into the affordable care act.

Counted My Chicks Before They All Hatch

I don't know how well or even sense this post will make. I thought last Thursday I would have broad band put in. The company who is doing ran into some issue with there equipment on Black Mountain. Which was a good thing so we could finish up the painting on the East side of place.
Now my appointment is for Monday Afternoon the 30th.
Still looks like I can take part in UltimateBlogChallenge for the month of October. But they also have a web page

I've been doing a ceramic here and there. Got the bottom of my small kiln filled. Now working on getting the next shelf filled up. One side I'm putting in larger pieces and the other half I'm placing in smaller items along with more ornaments. One thing there is group of ornaments I can't fine. I know there misplace or lost.

I thought I was going to take part in both photo hunt over the weekend. Some how I end up getting things mixed up. Gattina is one of the photo hunt challenge I take part in. Her challenge for next Weekend is "Humor in photography"
Also I take part in Sandi photo hunt challenge and her choose of them is "Spark".

During the month of October there is a pagan party over at Samhain Sirens and if it's good as last year wow.

Yesterday Murphy and I went down to Spokane saw quite a few people. Even both of my sons Sawyer and Bart.

I just don't get this I thought I had all of my resent picture on this computer but somehow they all went bye or I just not sure how to pull them up.

Nothing More Better Get In the Way

Tuesday I made an appointment to get broad band but in. The receiver will be going on the East of our place facing toward Black Mountain. That's were they have what they need to have so some of us can get high connection speed. It going cost us $60 a month for 3 mbps. The other opposition I can get for high speed internet is satellite which is usual over $100 a month. I know people who uses there cell phone for internet connection and it seem like there bills hit with a $100 or more a month. But other then dial up this is a much cheaper way to go.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Thursday Morning they will be here to hook up broadband. Statement time...I sure hope we're happy with broadband....Opinion time...actual there no reason why people in a less population don't have wi-fi. Actual it would be real simple for everyone in world to have wi-fi in the world. Is to send up receivers in the jet stream and wind currents and as the receiver floats around the entire world could have wi-fi even those who live in a rural sitting.  Still it wouldn't be free ride; one will purchases the same item as anyone else on wi-fi and regular monthly charges.  Someone would sure make a profit out of this. The cheapest wi-fi I see around here is $20 for 3 mbps. I guess the out back of Australia does something like this.
I know I haven't posted August weather. Not sure what is wrong with my thermometer but it not reading my cooler temperature right. Like there days it will read in the 20's and I know it not even close to being in the 20's. If I would guess it might of got in upper 40's for the low.                                                            
August 9th the warmest day at 95.4(35.2) The average high 79.0 (26.1) Rainfall 3/4 (1.90)
If your wondering why change getting broadband hook up until Thursday. We want to get the East side of home painted.

I could up date you all on more but it looks like soon there will be internet connection at our home.

Will We Stumple and Fall Like We Did On Our Last Two Wars

Any wars or conflict we been in since WWII has been a total waste!  But I as anyone else can have there thoughts on last two conflicts plus the one we might enter in, Syria.                                                                                                                                                                                        Let me be brief about Iraq.... Statement time...we went there on total under false pretense...a bold face lie.                                                                                                                                                                   Let me talk briefly about Afghanistan in a chit chat terms. One can't go in and change a group of people or individual. These people in Afghanistan lives in a tribal life style and been living this way for generations.                                                                                                                                                                                      Opinion time...The odds are really against you if you believe you can change a person or an area.  The only thing a person can change is him or her self. Usual this is done by small steps. No one can do 180 degree turn about. If one decides to do a personal spin about it's done in such small internments. Opinion time...We can't change the people or the way Afghanistan people live or thoughts.  We may made a very tiny different in these people life but it was to costly in lost of lives.   The two wars was ran on the credit card.                                                                                                    At this point the conflict in Syria is looking the same as any other up rising in the middle east.  Question time...What kind of changes will come to Syria if you United States enter in anther conflict there. Not a darn thing it will end up as the same last two conflicts we been in the last two conflicts. Look at the results.                                                                                                                                                            Question time...If we decided to enter in a war in Syria how will it be fought....The last two war was fought by young men and or woman usual of lower means. Actual only small percentage of the population actual took part in last two wars. So if it comes right down to it there was hardly in skin off large percentage of the population. Statement time...I'm sorry for those who have to endure the pain, suffer , and lost of love ones. If we enter in Syria, entire citizen of a country must take part ; doesn't matter of the size he or she takes part. I don't mean just stand and cheer when our people of arm forces are present.  WWII was a war that was actual fought with more then arm troops. An entire county was involved. At that time people use ration stamps on many items; people grew victory gardens. and we also at that time sold war bonds and had much higher tax rates.

 I do have empathy for the children and people of Syria. But I question are involvement will actual do any good or make things worst over there.

   Editor Notes...Since I type this things have changed with Syria                                                                                                                                                                            

Weight Lost Slowly At Consuming 2000 Calories

When will I get hook back up to the net once again. The other day I talk to my son Bart and remind him that he still owe us for his rig insurance, $125 that's for six months.                                                     Murphy told me to get hold of Meadow Creek computer for internet hook up. This might seem a bit prideful but I want totally contribute to this. I figure that Murphette would get between two and six hours weekly. So that mean I would make twenty four and seventy one dollars weekly. But I don't except the medicaid nurse to do her view sometime after mid-month. So by then I should have Bart's money he gets his next check on the 13th. Then on the 17th at work we will be getting our bonus check. I know this isn't the term should be using. But in the past Medicaid has been slow paying the home care agency, takes up to 3 to 6 months for the home care agency to receive there reimbursement check. Once we had to wait anther year to receive our bonus. Anyhow my bonus isn't going to be no grand amount. I figure under hundred dollars.  But with Bart money and bonus we will be able to pay the $99 insulation fee for the net and some cash left over.

Round the ole homestead has the ups and downs. I guess the worst trouble is a yellow jacket. They seem to settle around in large groves. Confession time...I have no mercy on the little critters at all.                                                                                                                                                                                                     Garden is doing great. Been giving  quite a few vegetables away.                                                           The painting project was being on held by the heat. Which now has came down to reasonable temperature of eighty or so. The big issue are those nasty yellow jacket. We're looking at this Thursday starting back painting the trim around the place.
Ceramic pour table I got the clay (slip) clean out around the tower pump and the beater which mixes the clay in the tank. The dried up clay I took away is in a bucket which needs water. Let it set for a few days and clay will soften up. After that I will take a paint stir thing that is hook to a drill. After the clay is mix with the drill then I need to filter it though. Recently I started to filter it though and old thin towels. Which been working fairly well that I've cast a few items that can be use for food items. Being so late in year heading to colder weather I'm not getting my pour table ready until next spring. The reason is that the shop/garage doesn't have any insulation or heat in it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I've start to cast some ornaments and I know I won't get the same result as I did last year.                                                    
Still painting on the bisque pieces, fried greenware.
Now what else is going on.                                                                                                                                                                       Embroidery a pair of pillow cases. I believe I'll give them to Sawyer and Betty for Christmas. Confession time...At the rate I'm going there a good chance they won't be done by Christmas. This simple means I need to pick up the pace.

Big news or the thrilling life new is. I been dropping a few pounds at nice regular pace. I heard that us as human needs 10 to 15 calories for each pounds we weigh to maintain our current weight. So I need 2012 calories to maintain my current weight. I won't let my self consume over 2000 calories and at this amount calories I don't feel hungry. Confession time...I don't even actual consume all the calories.  3 days a week I been walking also.  I need to mention if I eat all of my calories or if it after 7pm. If I do I then eat just plain popcorn. Nothing on it, no butter.   So once I hit the 200 pound mark I'll reduce my calorie intake to 1,800 calorie. I like to be under 200 pounds by first part of November and hold there during the holidays. Then after the first of the year restart loosing. My final goal is to be able to wear a 12-14 size. Not sure what my final weight will be.                                                                                                                                                                                              One thing I found strangely amazing is what people weigh. At our T.O.P.S (taking off pounds sensibly) I help weigh people. The only thing I can say it hard to guess ones weight or age.
