About Me

I have just completed My CERT ( COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONS TEAM ) and for those who don't know what it is go to WWW.CERT.gov. well I am starting up a project here in salt lake city to where I have people donate used medical Items such as wheelchairs electric chairs, walkers and etc. then I post it in a local TV station that has a free classifieds section. if i have something that someone needs then they can have what ever I have but I ask them when they are through with it to bring it back for someone else to use. its for people that can't afford to either to buy or rent them. I have a waiting list of people that need things. I am medically retired but my line of work was to repair things. I have worked over 30 years in that line of work. anyway I go through the items and repair them with what I have. I have a complete work shop from welder to mill and lath saws and all kinds of hand tools. when i finish going through an item to make sure its safe to be used i get a hole of the next one on the list. people call me a saint but I got to much of the devil in me. but not one dime changes hands. lots of people want to donate money but I can't take money but if they want to donate items I tell them that I can use things like cleaning supplies because that comes out of what little I have in my pocket

Interests:
my interest is helping others. my sports is what ever game I can play on the internet or my computer. I liked to do loom beading, I work at the festival of trees at Christmas time and all the money goes to a local children's hospital. I enjoy telling stories I have written several and lost them my favorite color is blue I have a vast knowledge and skills. I am a craftsman in all aspects of wood, metal, plastic, welding, electronics, HVAC, anything to do with a house repairs or building a house, and a computer Systems Engineer. which means that that I can fix just about anything. was in the military for 8 years, worked at Sperry for 10 years went back to school for 5 years ( 3 different degrees )went free lance for 12 years. I dress up every year at Christmas time as Santa and do parties. I give classes to local kids on how to maintain a car. my class goes through ( rotating tires, changing the oil, checking all the fluids ). these classed are free and each kid has to bring their own car and they change the oil and rotate the tires. they also learn how to change a tire as well. I do classes 2 times a month during the spring, summer, and fall. I started those classed with my own two girls. and they have told me that it has helped them out of binds several times. I also get notes from the kids parents as well

I have been busy with a lot of things the last 5 months I did  some spring cleaning both on my computer and my home and things are getting depressing.The last year has been very hard on me. first I had a small stroke and then my dog taken away then I'm sent to jail and then a warent for my arrest had been put out on me and I was never notified.

Then I get in a car accident that about did me in. I got out just in time for the holladays and then my hife has a small stroke and can't work at her job so now all we had was what I got on my disability and our tax return.

By the end of march we where in the hole and my wife has to go back to work no mater what and then I get word that my mother has just had another stroke and we stayed at my dads house for three weeks when my mother passed away on easter.

My sister needs me to stay with my dad the first week of every month so that she can take care of bills and rentles.

the first of june on my 300 mile home I get pulled over because someone took a tag off my license plat. Thats when I found out about the warrent on me. 

being on meds and needing to take them every day I was refused them for 3 days I was so out of it I didn't know which was was up finally my wife got me transfured to another jail and she posted bail and got me a lawyer and now I find that they want me to except some feneles from a bunch of lies so instead of plee bargin I'm going to have court. and I find out that the officer that took me to jail hit me with a ticket he called it impeding trafic when there is all these orange barrles off to the side of the road which means that their working on the road and 55 is the speed limit and thats what I was going. so now I have to fight that as well and I have no money to pay the ticket.

I have borrowed all I can because my wife has to pay for all her doctor bills from her stroke plus pay for her ins so that she can still see the doctors and get meds.

Sometimes I wish I would get in a car accident and I wouldn't come out of it. That way my wife would get enough money to live on till she dies.

But Thats not me I am a fighter if I have to I'll get the news team in and put my story in the paper and TV.and then I'll go after the animal shelter and sue them for all kinds of money.

I'm not a vengeful person but I sure wish I can even things up.
