  • Pandemic Hair

    This is the longest and most out of control my hair has ever been. This is my pandemic Covid-19 hair. I will hopefully be getting a hair cut on Monday after work. It is way too hot for this long hair. 

  • Clothing Makers

     Attention all clothing makers. When making shirt short sleeve or long sleeve, how about a pocket for men just one. I just it for my cell phone. That is all and Thank you!

  • Been a long time

     It has been a long time since I post a blog. I really have just been working and trying to keep my sanity with the political theater lately. I have voted and it has been turned in and can’t wait for the election to be over. 

    I am also looking forward to Thanksgiving week. I will be off 4 out of the 5 days. I will be gaming mos of the week. Speaking of games I am loving the new EA Star Wars Squadron’s.

    The only other going on in my life debating whether to get a couple of electronic devices. The big things like a new gaming laptop and computer will be put off until next year as my main desktop is slowly going down the hill. 

     

  • Our Last Dog is Gone!

    Petals are last dog would have turned 16 years in October of this year. We had to put her to sleep today as she was suffering from some kind of medical problem (either tumor or stroke). She was a great dog and was always happy to see anyone of us.

  • Enjoying Time Off

    I have been off the last 3 days and have been relaxed. I have 4 days left. Wish it could be more, but atlast I cannot afford it.

  • Coronavirus Family Update Status

    My family and I have been doing fine. We have not been sick other than I have a minor sinus infection. But again none of us have been tested so we don’t know if we are carriers. We try to keep away from everyone and only go out for work or the grocery store. I wish there was reliable testing everywhere. 

    I blame China for this and wish we would pull everything out of there. Not really sure where to move it, prefer for it to come back here, but that is not happening unless the Government forces it to do so. 
    I hope everyone else is doing great. 
    Take care and will be off after tomorrow for a forced week off for cost-saving measures. 

  • Thank you

    Thank you to all of you that have wished me Birthday wishes for my 51st Birthday. I can’t say it was much of a celebration in the light of being in a pandemic. But, the wishes were great and I wanted to thank you all. 

    Thanks to my mother for one of my favorite dinners and the red velvet cake. Hopefully, next year will be a little better. Stay safe everyone and let’s pray that God will guide us through this and his will be done. 

  • End of an era

    It is the end of an Era for the Mitchell Tribe as I have sold the Inverness Property I inherited from my Grandmother. I tried to hold onto it until I could fix it and improve the land with a new trailer but after 12 years and money lost I sold it. I remember spending my summers up there with my Grandmother and my family going up there and watching the fireflies and walking up there and being able to just relax. In the last few months, I have not been relaxing but have been stressing about the property as the “new” neighbors were squatting and illegally storing stuff in a run-down trailer. So rather than put up with the next door hooligans I sold the property at a significant loss. I believe that the group I sold it too will improve. So The Mitchell’s bid Citrus County a farewell.

  • Wuhan China Virus (COVID19)

    Well, I hope everyone is doing great and keeping their social distance and washing their hands. The Wuhan China Virus is teaching us a lot as a Nation and People. Here is what I am learning so far.

    1. Our Internet Infrastructure is not adequate if a majority of people are working from home. Congress in their Coronavirus 4 package needs to include money to finally bring fiber to every corner of the US and I mean wired either through their own through municipalities and through grants to private companies. 
    2. Hospitals need some kind of Federalization during an incident like this. 
    3. Unemployment needs to be rethought and pandemic provisions.
    4. The U.S. needs to sue China for this as this is the Communist Government fault. Either it was a bioweapon that went wrong or they need strict sanitary laws for those wet markets if it was truly crossed that way. This is the third respiratory virus that has originated from China (SARS, MERS and now Covid19). China at a minimum needs to forgive our national debt total to them.   
    Those are my opinions and thoughts right now. Remember to wash your hands frequently and keep your distance. Be safe and COVID19 free. 

  • Broadband in America

    I have been thinking lately about a lot of things broadband related. If telecom and cable companies don’t start investing in building out high-speed internet they are going to lose. When Starlink and OneWeb and even if Kuiper gets up and running they are going to lose a good portion of there customer base depending if these low orbit satellites residential price is right.

    Centurylink and Frontier will definitely be bankrupt and probably under Government control.
    For instance, I inherited a piece of property in rural part of the Country. The fastest internet I could get there is only 15/1 ADSL2+.  However, it might be more viable to me with gigabit internet with low latency. Just my two cents.
