Day Two Hundred Forty Seven
New Year's Eve!!!! Wow :D Already 2014 is coming to a close. It's been a great year though. Lots of bad things came along with the good things though. I had a really crappy birthday this year. Also, Christmas Day was not very good because of all the craziness that was going on. Those are my two biggest regrets and two days I wish I could change. Next year though, I'm really going to do my best to make up for them!
Woke up this morning and did my 3 miles! I wanted to get in my walk today. I really want to do it tomorrow too. I don't want the first day of 2015 to be a slack day. No way man! Next year is gonna be bigger and better for me. I truly believe that!! Well today was kinda bland. Not much went on. Oh Lisa gave me $20 bucks last night which I used today to buy that movie 'The Equalizer'. Oh man, that is/was one AWESOME movie!! Denzel Washington makes the Best movies. That guy is a superb actor and he really brings out the best in the characters he plays. We got that and we bought some pizza to celebrate New Year's Eve. It was nice! I wish Lisa didn't have to work, but she did. She won't be getting off until 11:30 tonight.
After she went to work today I went down to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I took them that deer meat I wanted to give grandpa yesterday. That was a nice visit. My grandma was really happy about the deer meat. They were asking how the stove was running, which I told them it was running Amazingly great!! They were happy to hear that. We visited for a while. Unexpectedly, my mom showed up down there. I haven't spoken to her since Christmas Day and here she walks in. It was nice to talk with her again. Things have seemed really strained since that whole thing with my sister. My parents haven't really been talking to me. That's what made Christmas Day really bad for me. There was no family love, just anger. I was pissed at them and I know they were pissed at me. It was awful. To have to spend the holiday with those feelings, oh man that is hell pretty much.
Anyway, things are good now. Mom was there visiting with us for a bit, then she left. Afterwards, I left to because I needed to come home and feed my animals. My dad apparently went scouting for his elk hunt. I was supposed to go with him, but since he's not talking to me, I don't know if that's going to happen. I don't know and honestly, I really don't care. I'm not going to live my life worrying about other people's feelings anymore. I've done that all this time and it really doesn't help anything. It just makes things complicated and gets me taken advantage of. I'm sick of that! No More!!!
Well now I'm home and getting ready to clean up the place. I'm going to sit down and relax a bit first. When Lisa gets home, we'll celebrate the New Year! Up at the casino, there's the big spotlights shining bright in the night sky. That's crazy! I wish I could go up there. There looks like a big party going on up there. But, sadly I gots no money lol. Next week though, we're planning on cruising up there and playing our luck. For now, time to log off and relax. So, Happy 2015 to you! I hope you enjoy tonight and bring in the New Year with a bang ;} Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty Six
Today I worked on my wood pellet stove All Day Long!!
I got up, washed up and waited for Grandpa to call, or come by. Lisa wanted to go walk, but I blew it off for today. I really needed to get my stove working. Oh man it was cold last night and especially this morning. I hated that Lisa was freezing! It's my job to keep this place warm and I couldn't do that. I was up until 2:30am trying to get the damn thing working last night, but it would not come on. Grandpa was here until almost 10 last night. Anyway he said he'd come by today and bring that part he took that broke. It's complicated!
So he finally came by this afternoon. I kept working on the stove, trying hard to get it to come on. Then I just went and took a shower. When I got out, he was here. So we looked it over and I continued working on it. Lisa went to work. After she left, Grandpa took me up to town and we bought a new Thermocouple and cover, then we bought a brand new bracket to hold down that thermocouple since that other one broke. Grandpa also bought me 5 bags of wood pellets ;} I was very happy! Last night I was so angry and honestly I've been angry ever since that whole situation with my sister and my mom spilled over. I've just been so angry and hateful over everything. This morning, though, I prayed. I hadn't talked to God in a couple days and I was really feeling lost. I prayed this morning. A really good and long prayer. I said everything I needed to say and when I was done, I felt so uplifted. My anger was gone and I could totally concentrate. I did all the work on my stove today. Grandpa did not have to do anything! I wanted to learn about it and see exactly what I had to do. It was a blessing what happened. Because of it going out like it did, I was able to learn so much about this pellet stove. Things I had no idea about before. Now, I can practically tear that thing to pieces and put it back together. I know exactly where everything is now and I know how to clean it properly and all the little problems that could go wrong with it. I was very happy!
Anyway, long story short, I fixed it! I was right, it was the thermocouple. After I installed the new one, that thing fired up and got so hot, it was Awesome! There was one problem after I was done. It was making a really loud sound still. Also, the flame was really low and it looked like it was going to die out again, but this time it stayed on. So I called Raindrops back and asked them. They referred me to this dude who works with them. He gave me a call soon after and I asked him about it. Grandpa wanted him to come out, but that would've been more money and I thought grandpa had spent enough money on me and my pellet stove, so I wasn't going to do that. Instead, I asked him about it and told him what I could possibly do to fix it. He gave me a tip and said that it might be the latch under the firepot. He said if there was a gap under that thing, the flame would be weak and it would make a loud noise. So Grandpa showed me where it was and I got under there and sure enough, there was a huge gap between the bottom and the firepot. So I busted out my tools and closed that up. After that, Grandpa left. He needed to get home because he had his own stuff to do. So I thanked him for everything! My grandpa is such a wonderful man and a blessing to the family. I am so so so thankful to God that He blessed me with an Awesome grandpa! Both him and my dad have taught me so much about things. Anyway, after grandpa went home, I fired up the stove and BOOM it worked Awesomely and way WAY better than before! The flame was high and very hot. Now, it works like a dream and better than that, it's burning very clean now. Before, there was black ash everywhere and that firepot would fill up practically. Now, the ash is almost white and there's hardly any. I'm so so happy and glad that it's working great! So now my place is really heating up. I'm glad that when Lisa gets home tonight, it'll be nice and warm in here. Today turned out to be an Awesome day!
Well that's about all. That was my whole day. Just did lots of work on that pellet stove. I cleaned it really good and installed new stuff. It was a great learning experience. Now, I know that thing inside out so next time I have a problem, I won't have to bug grandpa about it. I can just tear it apart myself and fix it up ;} Ok, now I'm going to relax and enjoy a warm place ;} Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty Five
Today, not much to report. It was just another day! Got up this morning, heated up the place and then later on I went out and did my 3 miles. Lees came with me. It was a nice walk. Nothin like freezing like last night lol. I really want to get more exercising in, but it's just been so cold lately. I wish I had a bigger place but with all my Christmas decorations still out, it's pretty crowded, mainly my weight room. I have a piece of my couch in there so it takes up all the space. I can't wait until after the new year to put everything away, but with our Christmas 2 dinner planned for the 21st of January, we'll probably leave it up or atleast the tree anyway.
Well the rest of the day was pretty bland. This evening, I decided to install the new gasket that grandpa bought for the stove. I have NO IDEA how to put that thing in. Grandpa just doesn't want to do it for me I guess. He basically just gave it to me and gave me a quick 15 second verbal lesson on how to install it. He doesn't want to do it. I tried asking him to. I said that I'd feel more comfortable in him putting it in just this once so I could watch and see just how it's done to learn. Well, that didn't happen. Anyway, so this evening I decided to do it. Now it takes me about 3 tries to fire up that pellet stove. The damn thermocouple is going bad or is bad or something. So it tries to start, then shuts down and goes off. That whole process takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once it goes completely off, then I can try again. So the whole thing takes 45 mins to an hour just to get started. Anyway, I have that damn thermocouple set just right to where I don't have to move it and it comes on first shot.
I installed the gasket on the door to the pellet stove. After that, I could not close the door. I tried and tried, but I couldn't close the damn thing. I didn't want to, but I called Grandpa just to see if he had any tips as to why it wasn't closing. He offered to come over and look at it. I didn't want him to because it was close to 7pm and I'm sure he was getting ready to go to sleep. But, he insisted. Before leaving, though, he told me that the gasket adhesive can't be overlapping anywhere and I knew that was my mistake. I had it overlapping in each corner. So I quickly took the whole front window out and cut out the corners to where I did not overlap, then I put it back in and BOOM, the door shut and sealed. I quickly called Grandpa and my grandma answered. I asked her if Grandpa was still there and she said yes. She said he was just leaving. So I told her to tell him that I got it shut and he didn't need to come over. She did, but he insisted on coming anyway. So I waited.
When he got there, I showed him my handy work. He looked it over and I told him what I did. He said it looked good and that I did a great job on it. The door was sealing shut better than before. Then, omgosh, he made the WORST MISTAKE EVER and touched the thermocouple and wiggled it around really violently. I cried out, No Nooo nooooo oh crap!! I told him that it wasn't going to start now and that I had it perfectly set. He didn't listen and told me it would start. Well, it didn't and for the next two hours, we sat there trying to get it to start but it wouldn't come on. Then, he started fiddling around with it and I don't know what he did, but he made it worse. Now, I could not even get the damn stove to stay on. I was so scared because it was getting late and it was cold. He fiddled around with it more and the bracket that holds down the thermocouple broke :'( Oh man, it completely broke! I was so mad and angry! If he just did not touch it, everything would've been fine. He told me he was going to get my cousin to weld that piece back together and he'll bring it back tomorrow morning. He left and now I have to try very hard to get it going. I'm very scared and I'm angry! Right now, it's so cold in here and I really hope I can get it started.
So that was my day. I hope I have good news to write tomorrow :( Anyway, it's been real. Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty Four
Today was pretty good. Just another day, really. Woke up this morning, got ready and we headed into town. We had our sights set on the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Blu-Ray, so we went up to Target and looked for it. Damn, nadda! We looked and looked but nothing. That really sucked. Afterwards, Lisa suggested to go to Hastings. It was there that we found it! Dang it was expensive though. Freakin $30 bucks for that crazy thing. The cashier who sold it to me really flirted with me though lol. That was Awesome!! I could really tell she liked me and that was really nice to see.
Afterwards, we went to get some food and then headed home. We watched the movie, ate some great chow and just relaxed. It was Awesome! I'm a huge Ninja Turtle fan. I've been a fan since the first ones came out back in the 80's. Leonardo is my favorite turtle and I like how in the old comics, he was the one who beat Shredder and by himself. I don't know why they didn't keep that in the movies. In every movie, Shredder kicks all their asses all the time. In the comics though, Leonardo killed him. No one else could beat him. Another thing, I hate how they always focus on Raphael. I mean, seriously, what's so damn special about him??!! That really gets to me!! I hate how they constantly focus on Raphael. He's just another turtle. Leo was the leader, yet they never focus on him. Pisses me off! Anyway, the movie was Awesome!! Megan Fox, oh my gosh that woman is so beautiful. She has the sexiest face I've ever seen on a woman. She could totally seduce you with her eyes alone and that thing she does with her mouth all the time....omg it's soooooo flippin HOT!!!
So this evening, since I was feeling guilty lol, we went out and did my 3 miles. Lisa came with me. We left pretty late and it got dark on us. Dang it was freezing out there after a while. The snow and everything just turned it into a huge air conditioner out there. Lisa's legs were numb and my face was really numb when we got home, but dammit, I got in my walk and that's the important thing! I was very proud of that. It was late, we were cold, but we got it done ;)
Well, that's pretty much my day. Now, I'm going to relax a bit then drift off to sleep. I am beat and my legs are really tired. So, until tomorrow ;) Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty Three
Just another day in paradise! Still snow on the ground and pretty slick, but I got my 3 miles in today! Lisa came with me. She's really been good about exercising. She's starting to pick up her DDPyoga workouts again. I'm proud and I've gotta keep pushing her to continue them. So much to do in the coming year.
Well I don't got much else to say. Lisa made a really great breakfast this morning while we watched my favorite Christmas movie, 'The Christmas Candle'. If you haven't seen that movie, you're missing out. It is a very inspiring movie and it makes you laugh, cry, think, cheer, and just about everything! I really enjoy watching it. We first watched it last year when I took my parents out for their birthday dinner and movie. My dad chose the restaurant but my mom chose the movie. We watched 'The Christmas Candle' and at the time I didn't want to watch that one, but when I did, I was very interested it in. I waited a year before it came out on dvd so just about a month ago, I bought my copy. Really great movie! Definitely my favorite Christmas movie now ;)
Well, that's really all I've got to say. Nothing much else happened. Now I'm going to just relax and enjoy the rest of the night. So, until tomorrow ;) Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty Two - Snow Day
IT SNOWED TODAY!!!!!
Dang and I mean it flippin snowed today!!! I woke up this morning to a complete Whiteout!!! There was a few inches on the ground and it was still coming down hard. I quickly got dressed, then headed outside. I bundled up really good and took my camera. I took pictures of everything. It was so funny, I was watching Sebastian from the window before I went out. He was looking at all the snow and started playing with it. I love my cats! Anyway I went outside and Cody was excited, playing around. Cooper was happy, but he's always happy when he sees me. I think he wanted to go walking, but nope not today. It was snowing way too hard and it was kinda breezy so that made the weather worse. I didn't wanna get sick out there. I guess we got hit with a winter storm.
So after Lisa woke up, we both got ready and headed to town because we wanted to catch some movies today and I needed to go to the bank. It was so cool, we headed out to the highway and started going to town. There was so many ppl on the road going really slow. The roads were icy! I mean, really icy. Ppl had slid off the road and they were digging themselves out. Every person out there was driving slow. Here I come in my badass Toyota T-100 ;} Yeah laugh it up, but I know how to drive and handle my truck really good. I zoomed by EVERYONE! I drove like a champ. Ppl had their tire chains on and were driving 15mph. I came by and passed everyone. My truck did so great! Did not slide once. There was even a cop on the side of the road. Guarantee his little cop car couldn't do Anything on that road. That was really cool though. Lisa was scared, of course lol. She couldn't believe I did that. Not to worry though. I got us to town and to the bank safely. We headed to the mall afterwards and watched two movies. We saw 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' finally and honestly I didn't like it. I hate those movies because that idiot girl Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, is so damn WEAK!! I mean, the people are at war with the capitol and so many ppl are dying and being killed because they are tired of living as slaves, technically, and all this stupid Katniss girl does is cry and worry about her stupid boyfriend, Peeta. She doesn't care about anything and doesn't get the point that everyone is trying to get her to realize, which is she needs to put all her shit aside and help the people! but Nooooo she just cries and worries about Peeta throughout the whole damn movie. It makes me sick! I wouldn't never follow someone like that. Almost makes me not wanna see Part 2 next year. It'll probably be even worse than this one!
After watching that, we went to see 'Horrible Bosses 2'. Oh my gosh I can't begin to describe how STUPID those guys were. I mean, after the first movie you'd think they learned something. The first movie was really funny because they were these unexperienced guys who tried to take down their bosses and they did it in the most funny ways because they had no idea what they were doing and it was hilarious. Well in this second movie, they were supposed to have some kind of smarts given their last situation...but oh my gosh they were even stupider in this movie that the last one! I mean, it was so frustrating watching them and seeing how bad they were screwing up! It was so frustrating that it was not funny to me at all. I mean, they really overdid it! They were acting so stupid, and the whole time I'm thinking, these guys are just too stupid, there is no way that would actually happen unless they guys were too stupid to be alive, in which case they would be too stupid to actually build a product and make money off it in the first place. So yeah, it was just frustrating! Oh and you sit there watching them screw up for a whole two hours and they don't even get their goal accomplished, which is even worse! Dang I was really disappointed!! I can't wait until TAK3N comes out. I loved the first two movies, but this one looks really good.
So after the movies, I took Lisa over to her aunts place because they had some Christmas gifts for her. So we did that. I waited outside because I'm not really close with her family. Weird huh. She's my best friend, yet her family and I don't really know each other. That's because of the past. There's a really long story there. I'm not going to get into that, but honestly I'd like to build a relationship with them. We'll see how that goes in the coming years. Anyway afterwards we came home. Dang my truck was running low in antifreeze so my engine was getting hot. Had to race home right away. That and my fuel filter is really bad. Soon as this snow melts and we have a really nice day, I'll need to crawl under it and fix it up. Lots of work to do on my truck! We're planning on going to California in March, so that'll be Awesome. Need to get my truck in tip top shape by then.
The rest of the day was spent just relaxing at home. We played some more Mario games on the Wii U. That was really fun. We also watched some old movies. All in all, the day after Christmas was a very fun day! And it was a Snow Day, which was even more Awesome!! All month we'd just been getting nothing but rain here. Everywhere else in the state was getting snow, but us. Now we finally got it. Too bad it was a day late though lol. One day earlier and we would've had a White Christmas! That would've been really nice. Oh well, maybe next year. It was still beautiful to see no matter what day it came on. Ok, well that's about all for the day. Now I'm going to turn off the stove and head to sleep. Been a long day! So until tomorrow ;} Goodnight!

Ppl had their tire chains on and were driving 15mph. I came by and passed everyone. My truck did so great! Did not slide once. There was even a cop on the side of the road. Guarantee his little cop car couldn't do Anything on that road. That was really cool though. Lisa was scared, of course lol. She couldn't believe I did that. Not to worry though. I got us to town and to the bank safely. We headed to the mall afterwards and watched two movies. We saw 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' finally and honestly I didn't like it. I hate those movies because that idiot girl Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, is so damn WEAK!! I mean, the people are at war with the capitol and so many ppl are dying and being killed because they are tired of living as slaves, technically, and all this stupid Katniss girl does is cry and worry about her stupid boyfriend, Peeta. She doesn't care about anything and doesn't get the point that everyone is trying to get her to realize, which is she needs to put all her shit aside and help the people! but Nooooo she just cries and worries about Peeta throughout the whole damn movie. It makes me sick! I wouldn't never follow someone like that. Almost makes me not wanna see Part 2 next year. It'll probably be even worse than this one!
After watching that, we went to see 'Horrible Bosses 2'. Oh my gosh I can't begin to describe how STUPID those guys were. I mean, after the first movie you'd think they learned something. The first movie was really funny because they were these unexperienced guys who tried to take down their bosses and they did it in the most funny ways because they had no idea what they were doing and it was hilarious. Well in this second movie, they were supposed to have some kind of smarts given their last situation...but oh my gosh they were even stupider in this movie that the last one! I mean, it was so frustrating watching them and seeing how bad they were screwing up! It was so frustrating that it was not funny to me at all. I mean, they really overdid it! They were acting so stupid, and the whole time I'm thinking, these guys are just too stupid, there is no way that would actually happen unless they guys were too stupid to be alive, in which case they would be too stupid to actually build a product and make money off it in the first place. So yeah, it was just frustrating! Oh and you sit there watching them screw up for a whole two hours and they don't even get their goal accomplished, which is even worse! Dang I was really disappointed!! I can't wait until TAK3N comes out. I loved the first two movies, but this one looks really good.
So after the movies, I took Lisa over to her aunts place because they had some Christmas gifts for her. So we did that. I waited outside because I'm not really close with her family. Weird huh. She's my best friend, yet her family and I don't really know each other. That's because of the past. There's a really long story there. I'm not going to get into that, but honestly I'd like to build a relationship with them. We'll see how that goes in the coming years. Anyway afterwards we came home. Dang my truck was running low in antifreeze so my engine was getting hot. Had to race home right away. That and my fuel filter is really bad. Soon as this snow melts and we have a really nice day, I'll need to crawl under it and fix it up. Lots of work to do on my truck! We're planning on going to California in March, so that'll be Awesome. Need to get my truck in tip top shape by then.
The rest of the day was spent just relaxing at home. We played some more Mario games on the Wii U. That was really fun. We also watched some old movies. All in all, the day after Christmas was a very fun day! And it was a Snow Day, which was even more Awesome!! All month we'd just been getting nothing but rain here. Everywhere else in the state was getting snow, but us. Now we finally got it. Too bad it was a day late though lol. One day earlier and we would've had a White Christmas! That would've been really nice. Oh well, maybe next year. It was still beautiful to see no matter what day it came on. Ok, well that's about all for the day. Now I'm going to turn off the stove and head to sleep. Been a long day! So until tomorrow ;} Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Forty One - Christmas Day
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
Wow Christmas Day of 2014!!!! Seems like just last year it was 2013 ;} lol jk. Anyway, today was a wonderful day. A day to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This was the day that God sent his son down to earth to die for our sins so that one day we may be with Him in heaven! You know, whether you believe that or not, it's very Very true!!
Well it was a surprising day. I started talking with my mom and family again. Honestly though, there's still tension between my mom and I. I could very clearly tell that she was really forcing herself to be normal toward me, but I could feel it that there was something just not right. My mom and I have this strained relationship. Most of the time we're ok and we get along, but there are times when something I do or say just really pisses her off. That's when that tension comes up and she really sux at trying to hide it because there is so much anger inside her. She's like that with everyone. When she gets mad, she is mad intensely! Anyway, I didn't care much. I just tried to enjoy the day mainly for Lisa. She was happy today and she did everything she could to keep me positive.
We went to breakfast at the usual IHOP. We go there every Christmas. Tension though. My dad and I were talking pretty good, but my mom and I were quiet. My grandma joined us and she kept things lively. I couldn't imagine what it would've been like if she wasn't there. My sister, of course, didn't join us. We didn't see her the whole day. Can you believe it? Christmas Day and she did not spend it with her family. Crazy. But, I'm totally done trying to help and care for her. She's digging her own grave with the stuff she's involved in. No one, well not me, is gonna be there when she crumbles and mark my words, that day is coming. It's already came before several times, yet she keeps right on running back to it all. Anyway, she texted me. She told me that she loves me. I told her the same and that she'll always be my little sister. That's true! She will always be my sister. I can't change the mistakes she's doing, but I will always love her. I'm not full of anger and hate like my mom. I'm not saying my mom hates her. My mom was pissed off at me because I got after my sis for letting all of us down, especially her and my dad. Yup, that pissed her off and she stopped talking to me. Some mom, huh! Oh man, that still makes me angry.
Anyway, the rest of the day was great. They bought Lisa and I some presents. I thought we were gonna open them up at their house, but my dad started loading them all up in my truck. Dang I felt really bad though because we didn't get any presents for anybody. Lisa and I totally coined out and didn't even have the money to get each other presents, much less some for anyone else. So yeah, I felt really bad. We did what we could though. We gave everyone a Christmas Card. They had Christmas lunch at their house and invited my grandparents, so when we went there we gave everyone their cards and our Christmas gift to them is to invite them over for dinner at our place on January 21, 2015. We're gonna make dinner and give them their Christmas gifts then. That'll be nice, we thought. So yup, that's the plan. Our gifts were really nice too. My favorite was an air compressor that my dad bought me. I know it was him because I told him I don't know how many times that I'd love to have one of those things. Lisa got lots of pots and pans and several other things. I was so glad she got to open presents this year. I swear, next year I'm going to get her LOTS and LOTS of presents! Christmas is NOT about gifts though, but it really is nice to have others open up presents I bought them. That is a gift in itself for me! I love that.
After lunch we came home. It was close to 5pm. I ate one really big plate of food and I felt really guilty lol. So after coming home, Lisa and I bundled up and we went out and did our 3 miles ;} Yup, Christmas Day and I put in my exercise! Now that is dedication, huh?!! Yup, three miles and it got dark on us too, but God brought out the moon just long enough for us to get home. That moonlight really helped us see the road. Lisa tripped several times lol. She's not a night walk person. Cody and Cooper came along and they loved it, especially Cody. That dog loves getting out there no matter what time of day. Anyway, when we got home we just relaxed the rest of the evening. We wanted to go see a movie, but it had already started and Lees decided to wait until tomorrow. So, we're just gonna relax here and play some Wii U games, watch a movie or two, then head to bed.
It was an Awesome Christmas Day! I look forward to 2015. I'm very sad we missed the Christmas Eve dinner at my Grandma and Grandpa's last night though :( apparently it was really good. Grandma said they missed us there. Damn! If only this SH*T didn't happen with my idiot sister and my mom, then everything would've been so nice :'( That makes me so mad!!!! Ok I'm getting angry again so I'm gonna sign off and get my mind off things.
Merry Christmas and Goodnight!
