Tomorrow, oh heck that's today now . . . . it's almost daylight on that other coast.  Closing in on 3:00 am here.  Just got done watching City of Angels, always had a thing for Meg Ryan movies.

Well, later today when I get my butt outta bed, I'm heading to a gun shop for the first time since moving here the first of March.  Can't wait, hope it's worth the time. Going to two shops, one specializes in older and surplus guns ( I can see myself browsing there a lot ) Some of my older guns are my favorites, hopefully I can find something cool that I don't own and they have a layaway program.  That's one thing I miss about living back in PA, great gun shops. One had a layaway without a time limit so I could take as long as needed to payoff a purchase. I think the longest I actually took was about three months.

My shopping list for Guns, A good Mauser, Mosin Nagant (the older the better), SKS, PSL/Druganov, SVD (like that'll ever happen), Browning O/U shotgun.

I'd love to find a 1917 Remington Nagant, had my chance once but passed on it because it was butchered by Bubba.

Probably gonna go to the beach watch the sunset and get wasted before going back for another 70 hour week on Monday. 0700-2100 five days a week sucks.  But I ake enough to pay for awesome new toys

Well, guess I better get my butt to bed

Peace, TCWF

"In our modern world today, we may seem like drowning men because of the loss of much of our spiritual tradition."
--Thomas Yellowtail, CROW
Our spiritual tradition shows us the way to live in harmony, balance and respect. The tradition taught us how to behave and how to conduct ourselves. The spiritual way taught us to pray and to purify ourselves. Handed down from generation to generation were the teachings about a way of life. Our relationship to Mother Earth and to each other was very clear. The Modern World does not relate to spirituality but to materialism. If we do not allow spirituality to guide our lives, we will be lost, unhappy and without direction. We are spiritual beings trying to be human, not human beings trying to be spiritual. It is said, Know thyself.

Grandfather, lead me to spirituality.

Well, my weekend sorta sucked . . . too much crap going on.  Not quite sure how this is gonna wind up.  Somedays I need to just be alone.  But not sure how that's gonna happen anymore.  But I will adapt and life will go on . . . well hopefully.

Peace, tcwf

"The manner with which we walk through life is each man's most important responsibility, and we should remember this with every new sunrise."
--Thomas Yellowtail, CROW
Every spiritual person should carry a vision of God's will in every area of their life. One day at a time, each morning at sunrise, we should spend time praying to the Creator. We should say something like, my Creator, this morning I ask you to show me, in terms I can understand, what you have for me to do. By doing this daily, over time, we will develop an unquestionable vision. Each person is responsible for taking the time to do this. It will bring great joy and peace of mind to those warriors who do.

My Creator, give me the vision, today, of what you want me to do.

Second week of orientation and it's going pretty well, passed my first medication test last night.  4 hours in the house this morning, then more office stuff after lunch.  Second medication test tonight then the final test on Friday morning at our house.

Sunday we drove up to Pacifica for brunch, found a really nice place across from the beach with live music at 11:00 am.  Was nice enjoying watching the surf (rough due to the weather) and enjoying good food.  We drove back along Skyline Dr. and saw some snow and freezing rain alog the way.  Cold up there, but nice in the valley below. Weird how 10 minutes driving can change the weather so much here.

Next week we start work "alone" for the first time. But I am glad to be back doing something I like.

I'm also really enjoying sleeping in my bed at home every night.  We did buy a new bed at Ikea once we got here. I like it, but the Ikea pillow is kinda lame
