We're back! Taking a leap of faith

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

Bob Dylan - Things have Changed


It's been a while.   I never wanted to let this blog go for as long as I have but things happened.  First off for whatever reason we lost our Facebook accounts - both for this blog and my personal account.   I still don't have access to it and by now, I've reached the conclusion that I never will.   

Most, if not all of my readership came from Facebook.   

Then we had some changes in the job, some health problems.  Some things that made 2024 a mess, and before I knew it is the middle of November and I'm looking at a blank page and asking myself "What can I write about?"

So, just to fill everyone in, I'm slowly but surely poking my head out and again.   I'm working in insurance again and even created my own website to help - ReppartWilson.com - which will be my business site, I'm even debating about doing a few YouTube videos to give my personal opinion about the products that you should look for.   

I've also had a small barely used Instagram account which may start to get more use, both as an advertising tool and social media site.  I even have a Tic Tok account but again that more to look at news and video's than to actually be used for anything else.

In the coming months, I'm going to have a lot to learn, but you know what.   I'm doing this.

I am taking a leap of faith and going into something I love.  Helping people.   

What?  You did think I was going to say insurance sales, did you?   

But all jokes aside, this is what I do.  You can't hide in the bushes forever.

What all the cool kids are reading.

Unplanned and Unprepared. Life Happened.

 It's been a bit.   When I started this blog I was in a stable place and a stable condition.   I thought that I was done with moves and surprises.   I would have been perfectly happy to just work for another five or ten years till I retired.    If I'm being completely honest with you but since moving back to Western PA just about six years ago, things have been odd at best and difficult at worst.   I've questioned why we moved but for better or for worse, this is home. Then I lost Facebook and that was one of the drivers, if not the main driver that drove people to this site.   Then my job situation changed drastically.   At first it was fine but it was clear that the company really didn't have a spot for me, and as they transitioned from "work from home" to "return to the office" it became hard for me to justify a commute of over 100 miles each way.   The jobs that I worked after that were temporary in...

Acting in our best interest.

** The majority of this column was written nearly two years ago, however for a lot of reasons, has been updated and ready for publication now.** Recently a friend of mine and I were talking about some changes in our area.  We have had three solar farms built recently and there is talk about a wind farm. She brought up how wind turbines are responsible for killing birds.  That's a known fact that everyone can agree to, however exactly how many birds and what to do about the bird strikes is up for debate.   This conversation tells us a bit about the type of people we want to be.  We are going to have to make trade offs in the future and we need to determine what those tradeoffs will be.   Wind turbine's are constructed in a location that meets certain criteria to meet it's full effectiveness.   What happens if location X is also the breeding ground of a nearly extinct bird?  Can they still breed if the tower, or solar panel or geothermal ...

Interlude

  Hey everyone!  Did you know that this page now has a companion Facebook page?    It will have articles, memes and such that interes t me that relate to this page but don't really apply.  Be sure to check it o ut!      I find myself in a holding pattern.       The generator has been ordered and is making it's way slowly to me, it will take approximately two weeks to find it's way to my door.   In the mean time I have the estimate from one  electrician and I'm waiting on the estimates of two more.   I am a bit fearful that I will have no choice than to go above my self imposed $1500 budget.        I'm also fearful that after having all this work done, that the generator will sit unused in my shed.  Although if I am serious about becoming more self sufficient, then I'm sure that it will come in use, somehow and someway.       It has occurred t...
