I had Amber take a few pictures of me working in the yard tonight so I can update my blog with my progress. The south flowerbed in the front yard is requiring lots of extra fill dirt after we created the new boarder. I already emptied my garden of dirt, and now I am digging out an area near our rear patio where I will be installing brick pavers soon.
So here I am with a shovel full of dirt.

As you can see from the pile of rocks behind me, our soil is pretty poor.

And I am dump a load of dirt into the front flowerbed.

Now here is the weird part. Look at the two photos below. They are taken seconds apart, with the camera at the same place. Notice all the “orbs” in the second photo?

What are ORBS ???

The meaning of SERVICE

July 26, 2006

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word “service.”

“It’s the act of doing things for other people.”

Then I heard these terms which reference the word

SERVICE:

Internal Revenue Service

Postal Service

Telephone Service

Civil Service

City &County Public Service

Customer Service

Service Stations

Then I became confused about the word “service” This is not what I thought “service” meant.

So today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to “service” a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those “service” agencies are doing to us.

I hope you now are as enlightened as I am.

I learned how to post pictures within the text body using html today.

Here are some pictures of my ATI ProCharger installation. It is a D1SC with a 3-core air-to-air intercooler, geared to run at 8psi, which adds about 160HP to the gas guzzler. I have plans to upgrade to dual in-tank fuel pumps and water injection, then change the pulley to get 12psi. I think that is all the stock v8 will take without internal upgrades.
