We went to the NickleBack concert

We went to Albany, last week to see Nickelback.
Buckcherry and three Days Grace played also.
It was a pretty good show!
Loud, and a bit long, but I enjoyed myself.
I can now cross that off my bucket list, I may never have to go to a rock concert again!

More Book information

Well the book is coming along fine, a little slow but it's coming along.
I wish I had more time to work on it, but with work and being short staffed,  time is something I don't have a lot of.  I have an editor, and a very close friend, who has been a great advisor, giving me the encouragement I need, to keep going. As I said, it's a slow process but I am pleased with the results so far!

As for the coffee shop, well the information is flowing back and forth, and things are moving ahead, this is also a slow process, but in the end, I'm sure it will be worth the efforts.

Fall is arriving here in the Northeast, slowly the trees are giving up their leafs and showing some muted colors, the middle of next month should be promising for the leaf peepers. We are expecting some serious colors this year.

I had a touch of the flu this past week, but luckily it didn't hang around too long. I feel much better now.

Well that's all for now.

More as it happens

This is some rock art I photographed while out west.

This was taken just outside of Moab Utah

Book

I have this bucket list I'm working on. One of the things on my list is to write a book. A good Book!
I have been working on it for sometime now, and it's coming along nicely. In fact I have an editor now!
It's not compete yet, but it's getting there.
Another item on my bucket list: to own a coffee shop.
I'm working on the coffee shop also. I'll give more information on that as I get it.

Summer is over now, and the weather has begun to change, the mornings are getting a little cooler and days shorter. Soon I'll be skiing and snowshoeing!

Hiking

My partner and I have have been working on the Northville - Lake Placid hiking trail, since we both work during the week, we can only head out weekends. we did another section last weekend. we did the LONG LAKE section this past weekend. It was pretty awesome! The terrain was pretty easy, and the views spectacular. The swimming was good too. I'm off to work, will add more later...
Didn't bring camera on the trail, so this is the only Photo I have. 

Added some more artwork

Added afew more drawings today. Drop me a not and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Just stuff

Well summer is underway and things are rolling along. The family reunions are coming up, we have two, the cousins, and the immediate family. I'm looking forward to both this year.
Still looking into the coffee shop. Its a great location and the perfect size for what I want.
Got in touch with an old friend, whom I've missed terribly...
Funny how friends get so close to your heart, when they are gone, it's like a peace of you you is missing, like your not complete anymore... But it's great to have him in my life again... Thanks Enoch!
Still working hard and doing lots of hours, and trying to fit the drawing in where I can. but life is pretty good now...

more later...

This is not such a good picture, but the drawing came out almost perfect!

Hot!

Now that the 4th is over and work is back into full swing, I am looking at some new avenues of interest. I have been selling my art work for sometime now, and it's doing quite well, although I always thought it was worth more then it's selling for, I really can't complain, it IS selling!
But I am looking at some new things that have had some interest to me in the past and keep coming back into my mind every now and again. A hot dog stand, for one. Yeah I know, sounds a bit crazy, but the hours are great and I hear the money is pretty good also. The other thing is a coffee shop, a really cool coffee shop with great coffee, comfortable couches and some cool music, great staff and free WI-FI, yeah that would be the cats meow...
I'm looking around for a hot dog stand now, maybe a coffee shop next year!
Stay cool...
