Well I think I have laid around enough for this Heart Attack to heal enough to travel so this week has been spent packing the camper and Molly and I have cabin fever so bright and early tomorrow morning we are heading out on a new adventure. Mollies tag is updated and so is my emergency cards. Life is not waiting for us to catch up so off we go. We have no plans just a tank of fuel to start out on. Thinking about West Virginia mountains, after a few days on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. May end up in New England, who knows, who cares. Lords knows I love this retirement. I hope we meet you along the way, share a smile, maybe a meal over a camp fire with a fresh catch of rainbow trout.
See You there,
Billy and Molly

No Pets Allowed

  I have been traveling with Molly for 6 years now and we are quite comfortable in our camper.

But recently I had to make a business trip to Durham, North Carolina and I drove the car. When I realized that I was not going to make it home before dark, I decided to get a hotel room and stay the night. On several hotels were posted on the front door, no pets, well I did not even bother to go in because I was not leaving Molly in the heat we were having in the car.

By now it is getting dark and I am tired and aggravated to find out that hotels had gotten so demanding. Used to be they wanted my business and begged for it.

Finally I used the “don't ask, don't tell” checked in and had a nice bed in a hotel that I think I bought stock in at the price they charged.

Moral of this story is plan your travel with pets, have prearranged living conditions made for them. I will never leave Molly with a pet sitter, she is part of my life. There are times when I must leave her in the car and if it is hot the A/C is left on for her.

I was down at our shopping center the other day and it was 104 in the parking area and saw 3 dogs locked up in cars and I know it must have been 130 - 150 inside. I called the police in no time they were there, and to my surprise they used pressure bags to open the locked car doors, brought the dogs out and put them in equipped transports. I asked and the police said they fined the people and charged for animal care and thanked me for reported what they referred to as criminals. I suggested they lock the dog owners up in the car for and hour or two. It takes a beast to treat an animal like that.

It is hot outside folks, and if I see a dog locked up in a car and cannot get legal help I will burst a window to get it out.

Just wondering would you do that?

If I were your leader

 If I were your leader

I would close down every American base over seas, then turn on all our nukes and just dare another nation to even think about harming an American, bring every soldier home and place them along all our borders and at every port of entry, two deep and every American under 40 would have to serve one year in uniform (drafted). I would make it mandatory that every American own a 12 gauge shotgun and a King James Bible.

Every prisoner serving a sentence would be chained together and out cleaning up America. Every politician would be hanged and we would just start over. Any person who could not say the pledge of allegiance with the words "Under God" would be tarred and feathered. Any person owning a foreign made product would be taxed to death. No one could afford to pay the taxes on it. This nation was founded on Christianity, if one could not pray to God the Father of Abraham, they would be exiled or shot on the city square. Lawyers would be shot on sight. Judges could have a choice, put on a space ship and sent to outer space or sent out to sea and sank. Any one harming and child, an old person or animal would be buried alive. Any person not showing absolute reverence to our flag would be dragged across Texas behind a horse. And any nation would be bulldozed flat and planted in poppy seed.
Vote for Me.

The Molly Chronicles

Share a hug.

This morning I searched my wallet. 
It was empty. 
Then, I checked my pockets 
I found a few coins 
I then searched my heart and found you. 
Then, I realized how rich I really am... 
Thanks for being my friend and e-mail buddy! 
May you be as rich as I am 
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass 
It's about learning to dance in the rain. 

Start Your Business

I am retired now as many of you know, but what you don't know is that I have never had a public job, when I got out of the USAF in 72 nobody would hire a Vietnam vet because we branded baby killers, drug additions and we were also branded as crazy, Today the word is bi-polar. Lord knows there are a bunch of bi-polar people our there .

Any way, I had a little money, so Cole's Truck and Auto Inc. went into business, I hustled new business, there at the first. Six months later I was operating a going concern, I never looked back. I got a lot richer than I would have if I had gotten a public job. I hired many fine men and trained them to work for me. Here I will let you in on a little secret, as a general rule, I paid my employees about 40% of what they made me. That is the way small business works.
Today there is a golden opportunity, in this country with our economy, for anyone who will go out on his or her own and start a service business. Some of you are saying “Well I have been unemployed for a year and I am broke. OK, want to make some money, contact a life insurance company and start selling a great product, you might make a career out of it. I bought a lot of life insurance and I outlived my polices, so my life insurance policies turned out to be the best retirement plan I ever invested in. I draw $600 a month off my policies while my 401K got sucked up by thieves. Yep I lost a lot, thank you Mr. President.
But back to small business.
From the Chamber of Commerce: [LINK] http://is.gd/drtnp
Small business owners have significant concerns about the nation’s economic situation and are unconvinced that this administration’s efforts will have a positive impact, according to a new poll released a day ahead of the U.S. Chamber’s Jobs for America: Summit 2010.
The independent poll conducted by the Lombardo Consulting Group and commissioned by the Chamber found that eight in ten small business owners say that they are either “very” or “somewhat concerned” about the growth in the size and power of the U.S. federal government over the past few years (nearly half—45%—are “very concerned” about it).
Across the board, small business owners feel that this administration’s policies are not having a positive impact on the country’s economic situation. Almost half (46%) think that this administration’s policies are making the economy worse, while 22% feel that they are having no real effect. Just 30% believe that this administration’s policies are making the economy better. END Chamber report.
Forget about your worries and woes, take that talent or hobby you have inside you and sell your services to others.
I learned many many years ago that nothing ever happens until someone sells something.
Over my years of working, I watched many businesses fail. They didn't plan to fail – They failed to PLAN.
Every day of my working life started with my days plan. Soon it became a habit. If you don't have a plan both short range and long range you will be like a ship without a rudder.
PLAN YOUR WORK ---- WORK YOUR PLAN
That was the secret to my life of work
Buy life insurance (permanent and term riders) it is guaranteed, but then outlive it. Invest your money in land and houses.
Americans will survive the corruption of our political leaders. Small businesses will survive the economy.
I have seen some damn tough times during my careers, Nixon, the Jimmy Carter years were much more tumultuous than Bush (he is the cause of that oil spill) and this idiot that I helped put up there. Well I just don't know about that puppet, yet. And I have to mention The Queen of spending, Nancy P. But if I were still working I would not worry about them. They would have no bearing on my PLANS. This government we have now should have a PLAN. Talk about a ship without a rudder, meander comes to mind.
Well us see what am I going to do today, “ [ LINK ]   Molly” (thats my dog) and I have been traveling around for about 5 years, We have been wide open but I had a serious heart attack 2 months ago. We were suppose to be in the Rocky Mountains according to my PLAN. Understand, the best of plans can fall apart. But with me I have direction and purpose. My ship has a rudder and my plan has a final destination. But that is my secret. And I never never ever shared my PLAN with a single soul.
If you want to go into your own business right now and start talking to other people about it. They will convince you that it wont work. I guarantee you that.
God only made one of me, and he made me perfect, I never wanted to change the beauty of His creation by punching holes in my ears or tattoos anywhere. I never PLANNED to do that.
God, while I am talking about you, I need to talk to you for a while. I want to thank you for giving me the knowledge and courage to stand on my own. And Lord, I could never have accomplished the goals in my life without your constant help. This heart attack has really stalled my PLANS, so I am reverting to PLAN B, Farther, as I have done all my life my day has begun and ended with You at the top of my do list. So right now I ask for about 2 hours of your undivided attention. I need to talk and You are my champion listener. I need to work on restoring my heart so us walk for a while and I'll do all the chatting. I aint a going to ask You for anything because you know what I need.
God bless you my friend.
I welcome your comments.
