What is my vocation?

What is my vocation?  Or what was I born to do?  Interesting question that does not have a easy answer.  Does your job make you think of your next vacation?  Or is your job something that you don't need an escape from?  Many interesting questions that are tough to answer at times.  Heard it said this way once, "Hard work is a prison cell only if the work has no meaning.

What makes me feel the most alive when I do it?  Shouldn't that be what we are doing in our lives?  Lots of questions today, and as you can see not many answers.

maybe tomorrow....

Slow Days

Man, I would rather be so busy I don't know what to do next.  Sure makes for a long day at the office, when all you are doing is research.....but it is about time to go home for the evening.  Pettisville Girls Basketball to watch Amber and Audra!!  Go Birds!

I need some wood.....

well the weekend is here and it is time to take a trip to Garber's Sawmill across the mile from our house and get some oak.  Couple oak projects on the horizon and others sure to follow.  Sure hope I can get a deal on some oak Glen wants to get rid of!  I would take the same deal as the cherry I bought last fall.

So get your orders in now for those Kiddy picnic tables and Swings and all other outdoor kind of things.  I AM READY FOR SPRING!

Sounds like it could be around 50 by next Tuesday.  No wonder the flu is running wild in NWO.  Well, time to get back to work.

Artic Blast!

January in Ohio.  Cold, Colder and Coldest.  What can we say?  It is 19 degrees and the chill factor of about 0.  Give me a break!  Makes me not want to head to the barn to do any work that is for sure.  Time for more wood burner time. 

The Harbaugh Bowl will be in 2 weeks.  Who will win the Super Bowl this year and what will be the best commercial.  I DO NOT want to have a Super Bowl Party.  I hope Rose feels the same way.  That is what we said last year and what do you know, about 30 people were at our house for the game!  Oh Well, it was fun, I guess??

I guess at this point it would be hard to pick against the Ravens.  They seem to be the team of destiny......

31 more days till be leave for Lakeland!

NFL

Do I really care about the NFL Playoffs?  I used to never miss one of these games, but lately I don't even watch much. With the outside temp to be in the mid-20's Sunday, I suppose I will fire up the wood stove, turn on the TV and and take a nap come about 3 PM on Sunday.  Popcorn, lemonade and Football.

I guess that is what winter is about here in NWO!  Go Lions....Oh yeah, they were 4-12!

I have Finally done it....

Well, I have finally done it and launched TRK Woodworking.  Yeah, I know, who cares, but I have finally said  YES I want to do this and start heading into something that could be a "retirement" career 10 years from now.  Time will tell, but you can check it out at https://www.facebook.com/#!/TrkWoodworking.

I need to start taking better photos and also to upload more photos.

Ready to start quoting projects and repairs.  Let the games begin!

I Love WoodWorking

Man I love to do woodworking.  I wish is was my day job instead of my dream job.  One day maybe it will be.  I have been thinking:  Why do I go to work?

I need cash for food, clothing and shelter.  Beyond that?  Health Insurance and Retirement...and because I love my wife and grandkids.  Kind of crazy to think about all of this, but it is true.  Time goes a lot faster in the shop than in the office.  I think better and love it.   I would need to invest to get this done, but first there would have to be enough profitable business to make this work.

Dreams, I am living the dream now for the most part.  Job that I like, a wife that I adore and kids and grandkids that make it all worth while.  That can be enough in my life.  I have been having trouble getting past this in the past, but I think I am finally there  If Paul could be content in whatever state of life he found himself in, so can I.
