<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Personal development is something that we should all be working on. Whether it be eating better, training harder, exercising more, increasing our vocabulary, working more hours in your business, or whatever makes you a more productive person, we should be doing it! I quit smoking on New Years Eve. I haven't had any nicotine in 129 days. Fuck yeah right? I've started running at least a mile a day. Been at that for a month now. I eat better. More protein, lower carbs, lower sugar. I feel fucking fantastic. One of the people who motivated me to get my ass in gear is <a href="https://andyfrisella.com/">Andy Frisella</a>. You may already know who he is, maybe not. He's the founder of the <a href="https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/mfceo-project-podcast">The MFCEO Project</a>. The MFCEO Project is his podcast that is fucking gold people. I strongly suggest that you give it a listen. I've never been big on other people who try to tell you how to live your life, but this time it's different. He came from nothing and built his brand, his life, and his bank account up to top ranked shit. He's the truth. You know I don't give a nod to anyone who doesn't deserve it. He's done wonders for me mentally. Sometimes you just need to hear the raw truth that you've been denying. Andy delivers that. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I just got back into the 250 lbs range for the first time in a year. I lost a lot of weight while building this house we are in because I was giving it every thing I had for 6 months while we built it, to the point of exhaustion. But you know what happened? When it was all over, I got complacent. I got back to being lazy. And you know what else happened? Those thirty pounds came back plus some. Yeah, I went up in weight to the heaviest I've ever been to 280 lbs. Complacency fucking kills. It does. I'm a firm believer in that. I got lazy and lost sight of a few things. I suffered from that. My mental health suffered from that. My physical health suffered from that. My relationships with friends and family also suffered. Well FUCK all of that noise.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I've found that for me to the best that I can be for the world, my family, and everyone else who counts on me to play my fucking part, I have to stay disciplined to be productive. If I don't, I feel like a fucking failure. I feel like I'm letting my team down. I feel like I have to be provide value to this world in order to be considered valuable by anyone with legit credentials that matters to me. So I will. I am. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;">Life is a series of choices made by individuals with the information they have gathered while living through choices made by others around them. We can thank pilots for the term “</span><em style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #444444;">situational awareness</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;">”. However, for the past few decades many professional crime fighters, military, and civilian individuals have used this term and trained to understand and be more aware of their situations. This is an article about a term many of us think we know well, it’s my intent to help understand it completely and maybe learn a few things as well.</span></b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Hello to you all. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">We are still alive and kicking. Many things have come and gone since my last transmission to you. We closed out 2017 with great success in our lives, business, and family. Things are looking great for this year's forecast.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">We learned in January that our youngest child is a Type 1 Diabetic. She inherited it from my great grandmother Elsie. My daughter is the only one in our huge family that is alive with Type 1 Diabetes. My daughter was sick all through her Christmas break from school. We knew she was prone to ear infections and sinus crap like most of us that live under the ever changing weather of East Texas. So, we took her to the clinic down the road like we have many times. Doctor says "Yep, she's got a double ear infection, we gave her a steroid and a shot of Rocephin, she should be feeling better tomorrow." Tomorrow comes and she's worse. Like a lot worse. So we take her in to a local ER at the hospital. The nurse says to my wife "Why didn't you tell us that your daughter is a Diabetic?" Uhhhh what? Excuse me? Her blood sugar was at 1300 and rising. They immediately dispatched a life flight jet from Houston to pick her up in Nacogdoches to return to Houston to take her to Texas Children's Hospital. I am so thankful for professional and highly trained medical staff. You guys that do these types of jobs have a fan here in me, best believe. The employees at Texas Children's Hospital are abso-fucking-lutely amazing!! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">So yeah, we found out only after we had to take her to the ER because she was damn near unresponsive and very lethargic acting. Now that we've had time to process all of that, and learned to take very good care of her too I might add, I realize that I did notice her acting funny for a few days prior to us taking her to the clinic doctor. She was very thirsty, very hungry, losing weight, talking gibberish at times, had sunken eyes, circles under her eyes, just did not feel and look like my vibrant and very busy little girl at all. I felt bad after her diagnosis and her few days of suffering because as a parent, I should have known that she was in bad shape and on the verge of a diabetic coma. Our doctors at Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston assured me that I shouldn't feel guilty because we didn't know what was going on with her, only that she wasn't feeling well, like most kids feel when they are sick. Okay Doc, I'll take that.. We've got her leveled out now. She doesn't want the pump or the dexcon yet so we are still giving injections 4 times a day and checking sugar with glucose strips and a meter the old fashioned way.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">This has brought us closer as a family, I can say that. My child understands that it will be this way for the rest of her life, she's not scared to talk about being a Type 1, and she loves the fact that she can eat all of the meat, eggs, and cheese she wants!! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">We've got other happenings going on as well around here. We are about to sell our house. I know, I know, we just built it... The Little Smoking Hot Barefoot Gardening Squaw and myself would like some acreage to raise some cattle, pigs, bees, and chickens. I figure we can at least pick up 10-15 acres to give us just that to live on and build on. I want a shooting range, a barn for my livestock to live in, plenty of graze patch for them, and more quiet country nights in our lives. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I'm will be headed to Oregon for business soon. There's a cash Tsunami in Cannabis monies out there right now and I've got my board waxed up. I plan on getting my share of it come hell or high water. I'm all over it y'all. Say what you want about Medical Marijuana. If you are a true lover of freedom and liberty, you don't give a fuck what anyone puts in their body. I'll leave it at that.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Be good to one another until I get back. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">lt doesn't cost anything to be nice, so some of you cheap fucks should be acting like Mother Teresa.</span></b><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>As you all know, we don't live in South East Texas anymore. We are now 2.5 hours north back in the area we grew up in, East Texas. Two days after Harvey ripped though SETX, we loaded up a few of our 150 Qt igloo coolers, 75 gallons of boat gas, diapers, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, all kinds of snacks, bread, lunchmeat, milk, soft drinks, ramen noodles, and many other things and headed south into the chaos to go help. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>We made it to Kountze TX when we hit our first road block. The water was too high for us to make it through in an F250. We had our buddy Mike launch his boat from the Lumberton side to come across Cypress creek and come get us and all of our supplies. </b></span><br />

The problem was that we only made it about a mile south of Lumberton before we hit another high spot and had to park the boat in the ditch by the road. We could not get any other boats to take us across into Beaumont as it was getting dark and they suspend rescue ops and boat traffic because it's too dark and dangerous.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>If you truly believe in the idea of Liberty, Freedom, Life, and the pursuit of happiness, all of this bullshit folks are worked up about is a non-issue. This is the people partaking in their right to protest, right to free speech, right to address and petition their government for a redress of grievances... </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I am a Former Active Duty Marine, y'all know this... I volunteered years of my youth to defend the Constitution. With that responsibility comes the acceptance of knowing that there are people out there exercising rights in ways that some may not agree with and you don't have to agree with it. You don't have to watch it. You have the freedom of choice not to if you so choose to do so. I'm not mad at anyone. More power to y'all for pursuing your rights. I'm an American, a Texan, and this is what it's all about folks. I'll do what I want with my flags, but don't expect me to cater to your opinions and demands for what I do with them either. Go do you without infringing on me. I'll sing the National Anthem. I'll put my hand over my heart while I do it. So what if you don't?</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I played football as a youngster as well as many other sports. I really enjoyed the contact and competition. I excelled at them. Hell, I fucked off a football scholarship to Louisiana Tech two days after our last game my senior year by getting arrested for someone else's pot at school. True story. Mama wasn't happy about that one, let me tell you, but I owned it. Who knows what might have been...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>As I've gotten older, I don't give a shit about who's playing who... But I'll tell you who is getting played, and that's the people wanting to force others to stand and worship a flag or be punished. What the fuck, is this North Korea? Kim Jong is that you? We see y'all and there are more and more of y'all coming out of the woodwork for the first time. They label themselves as Patriots. Real Patriots don't want to punish people observing their rights. They just don't. Like I said, you may not like it, but so what? Nobody is ever going to like everything that everybody does. The perfect world doesn't exist and nobody owes you a fucking thing. </b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For Northern Hemisphere observers, August is usually regarded as "meteor month," with one of the best displays of the year reaching its peak near midmonth. That display is, of course, the annual Perseid meteor shower, which is beloved by meteor enthusiasts and summer campers alike. But skywatchers beware: You will face a major obstacle in your attempt to observe this year's Perseid performance — namely, the moon.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I know it's been a while. Sorry for that. I see the Patriot circles are still at it, and most still hate each other. I hope their dick measuring contests eventually provide us with a winner. Either that, or they should just meet up and have a supervised or sanctioned scrap to get the shit over with. It's been tiring you could say and has turned a lot of people off. So there's that...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My world is really small these days. I work, shoot my M1A, fish, ride jet skis and our 22 ft Tr-toon party barge, and take care of my family. I travel all over East Texas from Texarkana to Terrell to Beaumont for work most of the time, so that's really put a damper on my posting. The traveling plus stupid blogger took their damn mobile app away from us on our cell phones too. I'm not sure that I've actually revealed to you guys and gals what I've been up to for work or not so here goes... We own and manage an ATM Services company. Currently we have 46 ATM's in service paying us 24/7. It's nice to get paid while you sleep. When you can do that, you're fucking winning friends. We do it all in regards to anything ATM. We aren't in debt to any banks, it's all our own money, machines, and labor. Sounds fun right? It is. I would drop you a link to our business page, but I don't want some of you fuckers sending me dick and dildo pics and whatever the fuck else your perverted minds can come up with. There seems to be a fascination with pornography and nudity in blogging for page hits still, so just count me out on that note. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It's been quite fucking liberating to my soul to not be chained to a desk working for shit management and having the life and soul sucked out of me by greedy investment banker vampire squid types. No shit, at my last job as an industrial valve supplier, I was doing anywhere from 6-10 million in sales a year, making 75 grand a year with a fucking measly bonus of right about 5 grand per year. Yeah, I know, how the fuck did you eat that shit sandwich for so long Stackz? Believe me, I hated every fucking part of it, but had to do what I had to do until something better came along. You know, wife need clothes, baby need shoes and shit bruh...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So far, we've tripled in company size at just over a year of doing this. Not bad right? It all boils down to how bad you want to suffer in the beginning to get your own show up and running in order for the big payback to hit later on. We've been through the struggles of a new business and have pretty much got things sorted to where this thing runs itself. It's been a fun ride so far. Ain't no hill for steppers like us! We've done a ton of charity events, concerts, fairs, junk picking events, and just about any other mobile opportunity to make a buck you can think of. I can have a machine loaded up with a wireless modem, our atm flags/signs, and be gone in 10 minutes. We get paid by the transactions, so I promote the fuck out of it while on location. Y'all didn't know your boy looked so good in a business suit did ya? I clean up alright and mingle with the uppity fucks I loathe so much to keep food on the table. I've hung out with pompous Actors, fucked up Musicians, NFL players, Professional Poker players, a few law makers and former Politicians, Military, had pizza and a beer with Roger Clemens, and stood beside former Ravens Linebacker Ray Lewis and listened to the bullshit that comes out of his mouth. He's quite a large fellow if you've never seen him in person. And I just thought I was a big man. Some of you know me in real life, most of you never will. Those of you that I have met in real life, thanks for reaching out and making a connection. Come out to the lake, have a beer, and kick back with me sometime. You're always welcome. </b></span><br />

I know it. I don't want to run a store, just want to buy a building and fix it up into a store and pay someone to run it for me. </b></span><br />

We started this thing in August. We expect to be done in 3 weeks. I'm tired, exhausted, and worn down to a nub. But y'all know me, I'll go until I can't go anymore. Always have. Our camp hopes that the new year is treating you all well. Remember to keep setting your goals, doing what makes you happy, and to keep chasing your dreams. Our business is continuing to do well.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>All of the beams in this place came from local farms out of old farm houses, cabins, and barns. Local, Local, Local... Some of the wood goes back to the 1860's... We are covered up in barn wood. A lot of it was able to be sanded and clear coated for use as to not ruin the natural color and grain of it. Some of it was termite infested. We put old rusty red colored tin on the ceilings, one interior wall, and also threw a few 20 ft I-beams in there for aesthetics as well as structural support. There's stained cedar, rough cut cedar, blue pacific pine trim, hand axed pine, and birch all through out the house. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We've learned a lot about putting a house together. I can say that I'll most likely die here because I don't want to do it again. But, if I do have to do it again, I have the perfect partner to help. My smoking hot little barefoot gardening squaw is absolutely fucking amazing. She's a pro man. I was pretty much the muscle on the wood and material reclaiming and she did a ton of the refinishing. We took a 40x70 metal shop and turned it into the home of our dreams. There's just a little bit left to do like trim, hang the barn doors on tracks, and finish our interior design layout. So far so good. We've got roughly 3800 sq ft of living space now. That's plenty big for my crew to stretch out in and grow. We have 9 tons of air and 5 climate control stations. The best thing about spray foam on the exterior walls and ceilings is that when its 100 degrees outside, it's 65 inside. Same thing applies when its 30 degrees outside. I love it. This was all paid for from the sale of my old house at the original Backyarder Camp and what I was awarded from my wreck settlement. I know, strippers and cocaine had a much better ring to it, but I did the adult thing and saved myself a half million dollars on a mortgage over the next 30 years by paying cash for a house. Eat shit you fucking worthless banker bastards... </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We could not have done it without our framer Justin. We have been friends since childhood. He's on top of his game, that's for sure. You'll see him below. Pics are in no particular order, I blog on a Mac now, so I'm still getting used to it. </b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello out there. I know it's been a minute or two since I had the privilege of capturing your attention span. I've been away for a few months and after having many requests to return hit my email, I am reopening my little blogging spot. We have a lot to catch up on. So much has happened in my life and some of you have been privy to that. Thanks for hanging with me as I have made huge adjustments in our lives that were much needed and for the better. I never wanted to just up and leave you, but after discussing our plans with my little barefoot smoking hot </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">gardening squaw, it was for the best. I </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">simply had to scale down my attention and focus on things that desperately needed my energies. Cut fence and go to work son!</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a new job. Self employment is where it's at. No more wasting away in an office with no window for ungrateful motherfuckers that enjoy nothing more than bottling up your ambition, drive, and chances at success to be used at their discretion. Our business is doing quite well to be as young as it is. It's flourishing you could say. So from here on out, it's all on us. No bullshit reports to submit, no bullshit early Friday morning meetings that could have been sent in an email on Thursday afternoon, and no more unrealistic bars being set by parasitic vampire banker squids that you know are pipe dreams in which you have to pretend to work hard at and try to reach them just to keep your job. All of that fuckery is over, thank God. Tech and Security is my job now, I'll leave it at that. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We sold the Backyarder Camp and have moved our base location a little further north. No more 90 degree Decembers for me in the hot ass swampy gumbo mud of SETX. I will actually get to experience winter in East Texas this year. You know, where you can actually tell the change in seasons. We are now lake siders and I fish damn near every day. </span><span style="font-family: "arial", "helvetica", sans-serif;">The</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> beer is pretty cold too. It's been a breath of fresh air to my soul. </span></b></span><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I will be attending flight school for helicopters soon and have plans to obtain an FFL and also earn a Texas State Certification to be a License To Carry instructor in and around our little lake community. The sky is </span><span style="font-family: "arial", "helvetica", sans-serif;">the</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> limit. People need help learning to shoot and defending what is theirs.</span></span></b><br />
