Danny's Song

Some years ago I was approached by some good friends who were getting married. They asked me to write a song for them, and with a lot of divine help I did. Then when I moved away for school I forgot to copy the lyrics off of my parent's computer and I kept meaning to do so. The other day I thought about the song and happened to find the lyrics in an email I had sent a long time ago. The issue now was that I had forgotten the music part of the song. Well I worked at it and the melody came after awhile, but for the life of me I could not remember the chorus. Well tonight I worked on the chorus and I was about to put the guitar down and a little voice told me to try a little more. Well I did and I found the long-lost chorus.

I am grateful that with divine assistance I remembered a song--the same song that was written with divine assistance a long, long time ago.

Heroes on a Quest

A bunch of guys and I got together tonight and we played an awesome round of Hero Quest. This is an old school board game that was made by Hasbro in 1989. I used to play this game a lot as a kid, and it was great to play it again. Ahhh, such a fun night.

The Chaco

I bought a pair of chocos yesterday and I love them--absolutely love them. They have arch support, are fully customizable, and they just feel great. I tell you that you should try them out.

Sarah and I at Lagoon

My wife and I went to lagoon the other day and had a blast. Check out this vid from the Flyin Aces

A very tall mountain...

In may I decided that I wanted to take my required business law course via independent study. As soon as I bought it I realized how much work lay ahead. It seems that even if I think about doing the course that I lose steam and end up doing something else. Now I have 7 working days until fall semester and I still have 16 lessons to go. Even if I do two a day I will still be into fall semester without being finished.
However, I know that I can get this done. I just need a little help and a massive dose of inner motivation, and.... to stop writing in this blog and go do my homework. :)

Fun with Electromagnetism

For a school Project I decided to have some fun with electromagnetism. First I took a Computer power supply, cut the ends off the wires, and then grouped the wires together. Then I drilled some holes for binding posts. Then I took some wire and wrapped it around an iron core. This effectively made an electromagnet.

Then I decided this wasn't good enough so I thought I would put it in a gun and call it the "Volt .45 Maggun."
I installed the switch in the trigger area so that you can turn off the "gun" with the "trigger"
And as a finishing touch I painted the power supply.
