Juice Fasting or ‘Cleansing’ – I started mine yesterday

Yesterday I started a 40 day Juice Fast.  I’m putting myself through this suffering for a couple reasons.  1) To reset my metabolism, I plan to lose 30 pounds in the next 3 months (that’ll put me at 199) and this will not only put me on a diet but will help me burn calories …

Why I Prep

Over on the UtahPreppers blog (where I’m one of the authors), ekim asks the question “Why do you prep?“  This is my response to it. I’ve been a survivalist/prepper all my life.  I grew up spending all my time in the woods across the street and working on ranches.  It’s really in my blood, my …

Catching Up

So, it’s been a very long time since I’ve blogged.  Sorry about that, it’s complicated. Honestly, things got to the point that I was emotionally drained and what ended up happening was that my blog was dragging me all the way back to day 1 with Serenity constantly.  I burned out on life online and …

Utah Programmer Tom Gregory’s son passes away

 I’ve been swamped lately and haven’t taken the time to blog for some time, but this is definately something I have time to stop and share with everyone. I don’t know Tom very well, our paths cross several times a year at Utah networking and other events (he’s a regular at the CTO Breakfast), but …
