My Daily Kona

My Apologoes for the light posting this past weekend, On Thursday I was on the way to "roundtable",  a Boy Scout Leader monthly meeting.  Well I never got there....
   Apparently a SUV( you can see it off to one side on the right side of the picture,)  decided to make a left turn in front of me.  She was coming the other way and turned in front of me.  She told the Police that she didn't see me.  I took my first ambulance ride on this one.  I got banged up and bruised.  I tried to take it easy as much as I could, they had prescribed vikotin and muscle relaxer.  I took 2 days off from work.  Thursday night and Sunday night.  I will see what happens when I get in contact with the lady's insurance company
   
   This is a reminder of the spending bill that congress passed, loaded with pork, fully funding Obunglercare and the executive amnesty.  The establishment GOP is afraid that the voters will not like them.  ..Lessee the voters were so pissed after the last shutdown, they elected more republicans for the 2014 midterm......Something doesn't connect here.   Am I missing something?   Well I saw this great shirt for Speaker Boehner

My apologies for not posting much since my "Bill the Cat" post a couple of days ago.   I have had a rough couple of days at work, I am working an airplane that is unfamiliar to me (Boeing 737-800) series aircraft.  I am familiar with Airbus A319/320 series of airplanes and Boeing 757's...not the same airplane as the '37.  Sure they are Boeing and certain things Boeing does as institutional memory, but the '37 is set up differently and the system interact differently.  We also have uncertainty with the new managers in place, there was a shakeup of managers a few months ago and we have one now, he came from outside my company, from a unionized airline and they do things differently.  I am wondering if the just culture that my employer has is being supplanted by a punitive culture....I will have to wait and see, but I digress.
    
  I had this in a folder in my laptop, I tend to keep a lot of pictures and other things to add to the words of my blog.  I ran across this and I had a germ of an idea for a blog post. 
     To me honor is a difficult word to describe, basically it is holding yourself to a higher standard and keeping your word to whomever you deal with.  Even if you don't like somebody you still treat them respectfully.  it is what separates you from them.   Honor is to uphold your personal standard of integrity, and moral beliefs.  Honor is to do what is right despite the cost.   I want it said on my grave stone...here lies "MrG"...he was a S.O.B...but he was an honorable S.O.B.  A better epitaph a man can't ask for. 
     I promise to post more and I have boy scout stuff this weekend, I will load the scheduler in case I miss a day.

Sorry about not posting since Monday, I have been very busy and running on several days with little sleep has killed the creativity fairy.  I wanted to blog about us trading 5 Taliban senior commanders for one American hating American deserter, but many of my fellow bloggers has already said what needed to be said and very eloquently, so I would make a poor shadow of an attempt.
     I wanted to blog about the EPA going after more coals plant and here in Georgia they are talking major rate increase.  Nothing like killing the economy on some nebulous bullshit called "climate change."
     I wanted to blog about the idiots who uses the "open Carry" to force themselves upon others, this is turning into a P.R. nightmare for the American 2nd amendment movement.  In the past the 2nd amendment was known for reasoned discourse, we leave the shrieking emotionalism to the liberals who can't dispute facts with emotions.  Now we have our own group that is picking a fight with the NRA who basically told them "grow up and behave."  Several bloggers have made the suggestion that the group is probably bankrolled by Bloomburg.  I tend to agree because the backlash from the non-gun public is growing especially when in my mind we have taken back some of our rights that we lost in the past and perhaps the pendulum is swinging back the other way and we have these ass clown pissing on the applecart.
    But instead, after the week I had, will take a couple of Advil PM and call it a "night" or a day in my case since I swing from the belfry normally.
