Brad's (now retired!) Firefighter/Paramedic...and Other Misc Info..

That's how to increase my web presence!!!!! Now retired...that's how long it's been? ...and now, my new love.....3D printing!!!!

hadn't been here forever...to find my blog had been hacked a bit...with foreign ads some how?..hmmm...more later

I think it's record for not posting...........but I'm here now... I've : Retired semi automated my home work part time at the job i retired from I'm sure there is more but you'll have to pry it out of me...................

Ohhhhhh, I know....I haven'e been here either...sigh... I guess it's a sign of a lazy blogger...Lot's going on but just haven't sat down to put it in writing.... Ok, that's it...thanks No, no really. I'll be coming back soon. Let em know if you have any questions about this post....lol

Well hi everyone...So I'm on something new to  help me get healthier... and yes, it can be bought  from me if anyone wants to try it (Do I look like the person that never talks to you unless he has something to sell...I kinda feel like that when I post sometimes...lol) The company is  Monavie  and I'm going to concentrate on their weight loss products. They have a few other products that all deal with health nd I've had the juice before, which is awesome. So, if I'm good, I'll be posting updates when I get the product..I may even have a personal web address to sell from and give more info about without necessarily having to talk to anyone about it (even though it's recommended if you have questions). Until then, if anyone wants to jump in as a customer or distributor, my number is 3886084. So there you go....I'll keep you updated....really.....no REALLY.....

Well Christmas was good to me....a new Keurig, Jabra Sports Bluetooth Headset,a 7 inch Rand McNally  RV GPS (we just bought a 2004 Tiffan Allegro motorhome last summer)...(already sideswiped a fire hydrant which went over well at the station).... Now if I could only get ambitious and write reviews......hmmm.......

...ok...playing with the new Blogger design...well new for me...and adding some ads...maybe...to make money...well, We'll see...let me know if they're too intrusive....

I came out of blogging retirement (read: lazy) to let everyone know I have (and love) Google + !!!!!! If anyone wants to follow my antics, let me know and I'll give you an invite.... And for those that do follow this blog, I do update my Google + a bit more often...he,he,he https://plus.google.com/u/0112229831801983495469/

What a handy bluejay we have in our floodlight!!! I would have never thought to use wire ties to hold it all together...If only there was some duct tape available.....

..To all of the million subscribers I have (sure...I'm the only one that looks at this but I can dream...he,he). Getting out of the Realm game on Facebook...finally.... Have been out of the Mafia game for a while.. Going to run a 5k in May (my 1st (I can't run constantly through tho whole route yet but it's only been about a week of running/walking...since last year!) I want the new Motorola Xoom...wifi... (wifi because I can tether my Android phone as needed) I want a new Android phone (my Sprint Hero is over 1 1/2 years old and am ready for a new on)....Any suggestions? So this ends my update to all 1 of you looking at this (which is me which makes this a diary...lol)

Ok...it's been like a million years since posting but this will be short and sweet....I have a new weather staion that you should soon be able to see on this site....stand-by.......(I know...can't wait, huh....)

This is a very interesting realm We're in...our clan has grown to 59 but there are sporadic unprovoked attacks to our clansmen...many of which are too far for us to help out. So finding out that Allies can help.....So more soon.....if anyone out there cares...lol ...and BTW...if there are any players out there, let me know.....thanks!!!

...so the journey continues......in  Realm of Empires  I've started another realm and we started our own clan! I know that may not mean much but it's like starting your own business. It also relies on an incident command system as used in the fire service (and business and the military). What???? I'll explain briefly...both of my sons and myself are leaders in this clan (since we started it) and now that part of the game requires organization, assignment of responsibilities, etc. It sounds complicated but is a lot of fun! As one of my sons said..It's like having a family business!!.... He also stated it's a cool way to bond with his dad and brother...we chat, email,strategize, etc all the time. Now no one has to get this involved but this aspect of the game turns out to be a lot of fun!!! And if you want to sart the game, go to  Realm of Empires , go to realm 6 and join the clan Peace Keepers. Or if you want, Realm 3's clan I'm in is Unit...

Ok...apparently this is my annual (lol) blog posting. This time it's about another game on Facebook, Realm of Empires . I forget the type of game it is (something like MMORTG or something). Anyway, I started because my son got me interested in it...apparently I'm easily persuaded to play games. Anyway I had originally told him I didn't really have the time or energy to devote to another game. However, I succumbed and tried it...and glad I did!!! I'm in Realm 3 as Firemed, clan of United Lords in case there are any potential joiners out there!! And the 1st thing I noticed was that the game was designed to play on average 15 minutes or less a day....and turned out to be true! The other interesting thing about the game was the friendliness. Twice I went to acquire an abandoned village, got there 1st but later got wiped out due to incoming troops that were coincidentally sent right behind mine. In both cases, after proving what happened, they ei...

...so one of the guys I work with asked me to join the Mafia game on Facebook, saying that I "didn't have to play, I just get more points...bit it is addicting". So I joined and wow!!!! It's a good thing I'm off work!! I check my stats hourly, see who is attacking me, robbing me...seek revenge. A very relaxing game...he,he,he. Anyway I just ordered a Dell Studio XP 13 ...It's the first new laptop I've bought in 9 years so I did go a bit overboard. Of course my wife asked..."So you need a laptop...why?" She just doesn't understand...I will use it to demo my products, and...ummmm...check email.....and...ummm................ok,ok...check my Mafia stats on the road!!!!! Also we are helping with a breast cancer fundraiser locally. This will take place at Bozley's (who has great opne jam sessions on Sundays) on I65 and US10 the end of the month....Details to follow soon. I know it's a longshot because thre are so many great causes out ther...

So it looks like my shoulder therapy is going well....due to the new product I'm on? Time will tell. I've also updated some links on the page...let me know what you think... I know there isn't much info today but better then 6 months without a post...(and no smart comments out there like "Hmm....this is better then 6 months without a post?"... I can hear all of you!!! Kindle 2 is great!!! Playing stupid Mafia war on Facebook...I have to get out more!!!

So at a later date, I will post something about all the stuff I said last time...probably...anyway..I did get a new Kindle 2 and love it...well I got it for my wife but use it when she's not out of town.... I signed up for an MLM...I'm not quite ready to do it as a business but I love the product...So I will do it the way they tell you not to...casually, like a hobby. I love the MLM concept..I'm just not that good at it yet. I do know this makes you more money quicker then my last (Amway/Quixtar) MLM. And there's less to know....basically just 1 product. All I can say is it is a nutritional drink...any more info and you can comment...Don't worry..I won't try to "sell" you something..just let you know my take on this business. I can say this has been giving me so much more energy, I need to NOT take it close to bed time...I'm wide awake!!! (and no, there's no ephedrine or caffeine or other stimulants in the drink..just natural antioxidants from ...

I figure I had better post before the 1-year-of-not-posting anniversary came up! So what's new? As far as business, You know I'm out of the Quixtar business...for many reasons I won't get into but NOT because of the team I was on!! It sounds like you can make a lot more money, quicker, in Monavie. If anyone is serious about having Monavie as a potential business, Google it to find more but leave me a comment if you want to start as I have an excellent team to get you on). I'm not quite ready to get involved on the business side, but if I was to get into an MLM again, this would be it! At least Quixtar/Amway's leaga team can't come after me again....I don't think...hmm. Ok..well I have a lot more info on my exciting life but...as a cliff hanger...I'll give you more soon!!!! Upcoming... - a SLAP tear may hinder my stellar softball career - my love for the Wii continues with new review and maybe some links!!! - I'll talk about my new remote car start...

...So I'm at 188lbs according to the Wii Fit as of today. I really feel pretty good....stole a couple bases in the last 2 softball games, haven't been sore after any of the games...well except when I slid into home last night.....didn't feel bad until I could hardly move at 3am!!! That didn't last long though. I'm loving the Fit.especially the Yoga exercises. I've never one Yoga before but find that I like it a lot...More soon including the final weigh-in in July.
