The follow up

-

 After Saturday's post, I really dove into my business. I finished up about 50 pairs of earrings that I made about a month ago and they were in various stages of completion. I have cut a number of things I've been wanting to make, I haven't been able to paint them yet because it's been raining here. I came up with ideas and immediately started putting them into action. I have some ideas for things I want to sell that are different and unique and I'm working on that. Just admitting that I had been treating this more like a hobby has seemed to release the floodgates. Saturday I worked at this for like 10 hours. Yesterday I worked at it for about 6 hours and then some friends came over. After they left I worked at it for another couple of hours. I sat on Saturday night and got posts made for a week. That's the kind of work that I need to do. Not just when I feel like it, but all the time. Today we are heading down to Tucson to get a demo of a laser I am interested in. I really want it because it will do things my little diode can't, but I want to see it in action first. Considering I bought this laser not even really knowing what a diode was, I decided to be a little more adult about the next one. So I want to get a few things done before we leave here, but the rest of the day will be spent on the road. 

I am feeling so much better about this thing. I have some ideas I need to work out and I think I can do this.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
