Ahhhh, Gents - it is HARVEST SEASON after all, and he is actually a Farmer if I recall, so he's probably actually working his butt off and when he's free, tending to Miss K's list of chores to stay out of Marriage Jail!

Either that or he found a Delorian in one of those sheds right next to a Flux-Capacitor and is busy working to reverse Ken's choice of girlfriends and the entire Obama era. (We can dream can't we?)

Parenting / A Father's Lamentation
« on: October 02, 2018, 11:28:46 AM »
A Fathers Lamentation


My son, Jacob Michael Poehler, lost his battle with Bipolar Depression on Friday night, September 28, 2018 in Milwaukie. Oregon; he took his own life.  His older sister and I spoke of the possibility of this outcome over the last few years.  We were out of communication with him over the last 4 months of his life; phone calls and texts were rarely answered and if they were there was no sustained conversations or information exchanged.  His mother is who he’d chosen to talk with and there wasn’t much sharing from that.

I received a text from Jacob’s mother while I was out of town on Saturday night imploring me to call her immediately; around 10pm she gave me the news.  I was devastated, out of town, alone in a hotel room and over 300 miles from my wife and 13 year old daughter.  I had to start making phone calls, my wife, my father, my childhood and best friend and his family as well as texting those whom I was closest with involved in the event that caused me to be out of town who fortunately are amongst my closest friends.

With the phone down, silent and finally out of my hand and ear, the silence of that room started to envelope me and my thoughts started to swirl.  I knew, that nothing I could do would bring Jacob back yet, immediately, all the things I should have done, all my failures as a husband to my first wife and a father to Jacob started to come in waves.

The one thing that survived the scrutiny of validation is this - I totally failed in my charge as a father, to bring my son up in the ways of the Lord.  The travesty of divorce drove me, unwillingly out of his and his older sister’s lives for roughly 8 years.  It wasn’t until the birth of their half sister that I was able to reconnect and start the process of repairing the damaged relationships between all of us, including Jacob’s mother.  I had some opportunities, but I failed to share God’s gift of salvation and redemption with my son and oldest daughter - the reality is this: because of my failure, Jacob is doomed to spend eternity in hell and away from the gift of everlasting life; I hope that I’m wrong, but there was never confirmation to me that Jacob accepted God’s gift of Salvation.  Bad enough that I’ve lost my son, but the possibility that Jacob’s act to escape the tortures of Bipolar Depression without accepting Christ has placed him in a far worse and more torturous place; Hell for eternity.  This is my cross to bear and the weight of it is crushing me!  Had I had discussions with Jacob about his depression and the transformative power of Christ’s love and the free gift of Salvation he might still be with us today and living free from the demons of Bipolar Depression; at least I would know he was at peace with God and have the promise of being together again in the glory and grace of Eternity with Christ. 

There is such a gaping hole in my soul acting like a vacuum sucking energy from my heart and leaving me feeling empty at times.  I’m doing well in spite of this, and know I will speak of this to the myriad of his friends from the world of Drifting - they have done amazing things already that were direct answers to my prayers and those of you Realmen!  I will speak at his memorial sometime at the end of the month and pray that I have the grace, courage and strength to speak the words to everyone there that I failed God and my son Jacob by not speaking to him.  I pray for the Holy Spirit to work through me and give me the words to write and speak to serve God’s plan in all of this.  It will not absolve me of guilt and failure, but give me the knowledge that I listened to His voice in that lonely motel room in Iowa last Saturday night.  I will know that in some small way I may reach someone else’ sons and daughters; at least I might plant some seeds of hope for them.

Please speak the words your sons and daughters need to hear from you their fathers; I wish this quilt and pain on nobody else or their children.  God is great - let them know of his gift and at least then, the choice is theirs; I failed to inform and teach Jacob of that choice.

I now have a better grasp and understanding of the book of Lamentations…...

My wife and I were talking about the wonderment of God's plan, if in fact kavenaugh is confirmed, and the the bag of bones and evil Ginsburg croaked after the mid-terms should the Republicans keep the Congress, that would be salacious wonderment watching all the Libs faces melt similar to the Ark scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark!  Like Martin.....I HAVE A DREAM!

And here is the 1" PEX I picked up at Home Depot. It retails for $74 for 100 feet. With my discount I am paying $67 for the roll.

I think I will end up needing three rolls total

Don, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. That pex is for potable water use only, and not to be used in a hydronic system. You need Pex with an "oxygen barrier" for that application. Using the Pex you purchased will promote bacterial  growth, turn the water foul & murky over short time.

I envision the famous flat tire scene from "A Christmas Story" and Don playing the part of Ralphie......  :sad:

It was 10 shots at 5 yards, 7 yards and 10 yards ..... still could have tossed the pistol through the hole when it was empty though!

You might poke fun, but lots of states have no target requirements and some only require you to hit the paper - anywhere!

Accuracy would be higher if they used your girlfriend’s face; don’t say ass because that would be minute of Texas accuracy!

OK, on Patriots Day, one of the ass clown Socialist Science teachers gets on the PA to lead the school (2100+ High School Students) in the pledge and a moment of silence in honor of the day.  In true revisionist history fashion, said rectal amusement character edited the Pledge, leaving out "Under God" - I REALLY want to stomp the living crap out of the prick!  Suggested that if he can't say the pledge correctly, he stay off the PA and sent a copy of that email to the Superintendent........F-in socialist snowflake bastard.......I HATE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS.

Having actually been to the farm, I can say that the Deere constantly breaking from mowing grass is an indicator of it being JUNK ....... Now if he’s being playing beyond the field edges, that’s on Don; place is beyond mower destruction stage in the green space.

You didn’t forget about the tire destruction zone by chance Don, and try sharpening some iron by chance?
