<br />
There’s no excuses for not having posted in that length of time and I won’t bore you with the details. The economy sucks, which translates into more work for me in an effort to generate business and retain my job, plain and simple. So that by the time I get home from my job I have absolutely no desire to take on anything else but sitting on my fat butt and attempting to decompress.<br />
<br />
I did finish up a couple of tables for my parents that they had asked for. It seems they’re in the midst of a bedroom makeover and decided they needed something new. So my time away wasn’t a total loss. It gave me a chance to try out some new techniques, mainly the Kane Tsugi joint…I’ll post some pictures in a few days.<br />
<br />
Wife and I also made an offer on a house based off of Utah’s “Home Run Grant” which would give the buyer $6000.00 towards the purchase of a new construction home. We were lucky enough to have found one through the company that owns the brokerage that she works with and got that process rolling. The down side to this entire deal was being forced to use a mortgage company owned by the same company that owns her brokerage (yeah…how’s that legal). Well it turns out that they are still just as crooked and underhanded as they were a few month/years ago. At the very start one of the office workers who seemed to have a soul raised a red flag on an item, we questioned whether it was a problem and if so, did we need to shop different lenders? That’s when the mighty mortgage broker stepped in and told us nooooo this isn’t an issue and we’ll push it through, trust me…well guess what, after wasting 3 weeks of our lives and taking so much time that it is now no longer a realistic attempt at the grant, we’ve been turned down unless we incur MORE debt right now and turn in one of our vehicle leases 5 months early. How does that make sense? I’ve had a mortgage for several years in the past, always paid on time along with every other loan, lease, credit card etc that we’ve had…and yet we’re told too bad you’re a risk. I don’t care who you are, but the financial markets aren’t improving…if they were Wife and I wouldn’t have had this problem. It seems that good credit, a stable payment history, a stable work history and liquid cash in savings still isn’t enough to achieve the American dream and now makes you a “risk”.<br />
<br />
So thanks Obama…thanks for giving away my hard earned tax dollar to bail out these companies that refuse to assist the little guy as they had said they would. So glad to see you’re holding their feet to the fire and making them make good on their word…good job…jackass….<br />
<br />
But it’s not so much as being told no…it’s how we were told no. This issue that has us hung up could have been addressed 3 weeks ago and been properly handled before we got to this point. Yet what does the mortgage company care, they’ve got my check for 450 bucks to cover their complete Bull Shit processing and application fees. They got their money so why should they work any harder to make this a reality. And then on top of that to have the broker imply that it’s our fault because we’re unwilling to turn one of our vehicles in early is unfathomable.<br />
<br />
So that’s fine…we’ve decided to get back to our original plan and keep on saving so we do this on our terms and not the banks or mortgage companies terms. We hadn’t really planned on jumping back into the game this soon anyhow and that’s fine…but it doesn’t make the sting of having to work with certain companies and people that should have learned from their past mistakes and should be grateful that they still have jobs and aren’t in jail from their money grubbing ways.<br />
<br />
So whatever…emortgage can suck it, I know I’ll never send anyone their way and will be more than happy to relay the less than desirable way we were treated to anyone who will listen.What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-11548073250691794662009-02-25T20:57:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:59:04.231-07:00TimeA precious commodity it seems lately…one of which I don’t seem to have enough of. Between work piling it on and the volunteer board activity that I mentioned in an earlier post I haven’t had much time to myself. I’ve been trying to work in the shop a little more now that it’s starting to warm up a little. I’ve got a few furniture projects out there as well as a couple in the back of my mind that I’m hoping to get up and running soon. I’ve also got a couple of boxes that have been lying around that I really need to finish up. It looks like we’re going to be getting the business webiste up and running with a slick new version that should help bring us a little more online attention.<br />
<br />
It’s not all doom and gloom though…the weather the past couple of days has been absolutely gorgeous. You can’t beat 70 degree weather and blue skies. Especially after a week of rain and 30 degrees. I just don’t understand the winter weather in Southern Utah. One minute it’s absolutely gorgeous and the next it’s freezing cold and raining. Now I just need to find a little time to go play some golf…that would be sweet!What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-57401015942379922832009-01-21T20:56:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:57:49.281-07:00And it Begins!<div class="entry-content"> With an unprecedented estimated cost of over 150 million, yesterday’s inauguration will triple the costs of any other in history. This, in the deepest recession since the great depression. We’re handing out money to irresponsible businesses, wall street and executives while the rest of us foot the bill and will continue to do so for generations to come. Our children, their children and their children will continue to foot this bill. And yet we’re so blinded by a man who can give a speech, that we over look this fact. We over look the fact that he himself states that our current financial instabilities are out, “of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some.” Well Mr. Obama, you, yourself have just perpetuated yourself as one of those irresponsible and greedy “some” by throwing yourself the biggest bullshit party the American people have ever seen. “Change” is definitely in the wind and that change is one of a depression bigger than anything we have ever seen with this kind of fiscal irresponsibility at the helm. Change, bullshit…the only thing that is going to change is the amount of debt we’re in and the divide between Mr. Obama, his rich friends and the rest of the American people. God help us all because this ride is about to get a whole lot worse.<br />
<br />
And before those of you that are totally blindsided by your absurd love for this man get on my case for calling him Mr. Obama, I will call him President when and only when he puts a stop to the train wreck that is our government financial spending. And those of you that have a problem with this should really take a second look at that 150 million plus, and ask yourself why? Could the pomp and circumstance not have occurred at 1million? Could it not have happened at 500 thousand? could it not have occurred at 10 thousand? Could this ceremony really not have happened in the oval office via televised broadcast? It seems to me that there really only needs to be a certain few in attendance to swear the new president into office. So you ask yourself, if he really is about change then why did he allow this obscene amount of money to be spent so he could place his hand on a bible and take the oath of office…you ask yourself that and when you do I hope you wake up just a little and begin to demand some accountability from your messiah.<br />

Yeah, I suck! What happened to posting here more and keeping the growth of this site a priority? What happened to going to the gym? What happened to working more in the shop and growing the business? hmmm…guess I’m just too lazy, what can I say?<br />
<br />
In my defense I can say that work has pretty much kept me on the run. Between cutting budget and staff and then having to travel for this meeting or that meeting I’ve been pretty damn busy.<br />
<br />
I just got back from a board meeting in Atlanta that was pretty interesting. I was a little apprehensive going into it that I had made a mistake by accepting the position but I’m glad that I did. Where else would I get to rub elbows with the CEO of a multimillion dollar a year software company and get pissed drunk with him? You tell me…<br />
<br />
Don’t believe me? Well take a look at the picture below. This was taken after a cooking demo/class that we participated in. I’d tell you the CEO’s name but that would be bad form as I really attempt to keep this site personal and out of my business affairs. Why then would I post his picture, well because it was just that cool of an experience. It’s not often that someone at my level gets to say that a CEO of a huge company knows my name and will remember me. That’s why…<br />

Aside from this there’s not much else going on in my life. Christmas was good. Wife had a meltdown and gave me that PlayStation 3 that she vowed to never give me, but she’s a good wife and knew that it was pretty much all I wanted. I’m a firm believer that Christmas is for fun…for those things that you would never really buy for yourself. I know that many of you are saying that I would totally have bought myself the PS3 or an XBox, but honestly I doubt that I would have. I probably would have taken that money and spent it on new tools etc for the business and been responsible with it. But I’m glad that Wife didn’t…it’s proven to be a great time waster, de-stresser, and who doesn’t love the blu-ray capabilities? I mean really…have you seen porn on it? It’s just so much better…once you go there you won’t go back. It’s like riding in first class.What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-63976724838990945762008-12-24T20:52:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:53:25.714-07:00Schuyler Fisk: From Where I’m Standing<object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6pTCKMRY3XU&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6pTCKMRY3XU&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />

What Recession?<div class="entry-content"> I haven’t really posted anything in a few days because I’ve been avoiding as much real thought as possible. It seems that the recession is finally hitting me in the work place. The one thing I’ve never been able to really handle about being a manager is having to cut someones hours. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any issue with cutting someone loose due to performance or the lack there of. But when I have to cut someone back due to the lack of business that’s where I run into trouble. I just have trouble looking at someone and having to explain that your position is no more…sorry…<br />
Thankfully I have only ever run into that position a few times, but every time is just as difficult as the first. I’m telling someone that hasn’t done anything wrong, that is in good standing with the company and by all accounts shouldn’t be in that situation that as of X date you’re no longer receiving a pay check…<br />
Maybe it’s tougher this time because it’s all of 3 days before Christmas…maybe…probably not…<br />

<br />
The final production of my latest cabinetry job came down to the wire, ultimately finishing a day before I had to load it into the trailer and head to northern Utah to install. This was two weekends ago now and it still seems like I’m wearing off the stress of making sure we finished and installed it in time to meet our contract.<br />
<br />
Not having had a commissioned job in the last year it was a little nerve racking trying to make sure that I have everything I needed to do the job. Needless to say Wife and I still had to hit Home Depot for a few items I forgot. The job still went pretty smooth and the install came out awesome, better than I had expected actually. I had been having doubts about the over all design of the flat screen tv frames matching the room (after all I hadn’t really spent anytime in the room since last year). Thankfully everything matched and they really completed the room. They really gave the room a finished look and warmth that hadn’t been there before.<br />

There’s another frame that matches this one on another wall in the same room…double the pleasure..<br />
Everything was produced in Knotty Alder to match the casings and base board of the room.

Will less money translate into the resurgence of real toys for kids? Children once again playing football in the streets, building tree houses and riding their bikes? Will this spell the doom of the ipod, xbox and playstation? Or have these items become so ingrained as the norm that there’s no dethroning them from their pedestal?<br />
<br />
Ultimately what I’m driving at here is, what in the hell happened to Charlie Brown? I remember the olden days of the 80’s growing up and watching the happy Christmas special 3 or 4 times before Christmas. Now you’re lucky if you get to see it once. Have we really changed so much that a simple story with timeless characters (with an overly christian theme, but I can look past that) have become passe or politically incorrect? Is the message about Christmas being about the small things, friends, family and time together really that bad?<br />
<br />
Well hopefully the turn in the economy will help us realign some of our values and push our kids outside to play in the snow on Christmas rather than plunk them in front of the TV with that new xbox…besides…it’s my turn, so go outside and play in the snow for awhile, I’ve got an alien overlord to blast with my laser cannon!<br />

As I was completing my order online I went through all the cases and screen protectors in an attempt to keep my new investment safe. Then jumped in the voice of reason (I like to call it Wife)…you don’t need that, it’s like another $60.00 and for a $400.00 phone that’s just too much. Here look at this video by <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/video/id,545-page,1-bid,0/video.html" target="_blank" title="iPhone Stress Test">PC World</a>. They dropped it like 10 time on the concrete, scratched it with a key and nothing happened…it’ll be fine without the case etc.<br />
<br />
I will admit that after viewing the video I too believed that I wouldn’t need those protections either. I even dropped the phone getting out of my truck at the gas station and watched it pinball around the concrete and gas pump like 4 times before it came to a rest. This resulted in nothing more than a few scratches on the chrome trim ring. Alright I thought, this thing really can take a beating. Well, that was until karma decided to give me a bitch slap across the iPhone. It seems that at Thanksgiving my brother pulled out his new 3G and low and behold it was tightly packaged in all the protective casing and scratch proof covers like a new born little baby. I scoffed…you don’t need all that crap, look at mine, it’s nearly a year old, been dropped on the concrete at least a dozen times and been in my pocket non stop since the day I bought it. True it shows a little wear, but nothing more than an average cell phone would be showing at this age.<br />
Bitch Slap O Rama baby…<br />
<br />
Not even a week after uttering these words I find myself getting out of the truck like any other day, keys and iPhone in hand. Well that day was not just any other day, it was the day that Karma came creeping up my driveway and helped me drop my iPhone once again onto the concrete. The difference however was that that day the planets were perfectly aligned, the wind speed and shear was just right and karma was on their side. So as my phone tumbled to the ground it landed perfectly upside down, directly on its screen. Oh Shit! that’s not going to be good. I bent over and picked it up and what do my eyes see?<br />
<br />
This: Warning, those of you with a weak constitution should look away…just look away<br />

Oh the horror…THE HORROR!<br />
<br />
The real bummer is that I also opted out of the insurance plan…it’s tough, what do I need that for? After all the only thing that’s going to kill it is dropping it in water and the insurance doesn’t cover that…SHA RIGHT!<br />
Needless to say, I will be insuring the new 3G that replaces this one and wrapping it up like a little new born and coddling it everywhere I go…no no…don’t touch…it’s sleeping…we just look at it, not poke it.<br />

It had been awhile since I had last logged on and played “<a href="http://www.adultswim.com/games/game/index.html?game=fiveMinutes" target="_blank" title="5 minutes to kill (yourself)">5 minutes to kill</a>“, so I thought I’d see what else was available. “<a href="http://www.adultswim.com/games/game/index.html?game=surgeon" target="_blank" title="Amateur Surgeon">Amateur surgeon</a>” caught my eye as I scrolled through things and thought what the hell. Maybe it was because it was listed under the “twitchy games” but still, what the hell. This game rocked. It’s poor story line, awesome sound effects and grizzly nature seemed to appeal to every sense I was trying to appease at the moment. So now a week or two later I find myself returning to it again and again…it has some strange hold on me. Maybe I should have become a doctor…hmmmm???What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-16961810105045956032008-11-30T20:40:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:41:54.109-07:00And we’re back!<div class="entry-content"> God bless my family. They’re great, but after a few days with them in one house I have to wonder how my parents actually did it. How did they raise us to maturity without one of us killing the other one?<br />
The weekend was good, it was the typical turkey day mixed with a little white trash but that’s ok I guess. The one big shocker was that my older brother, whom is more left leaning, far, far, far far far more left leaning that anyone else in my family actually bought a shotgun. My other brother happened to mention that he had just bought a shotgun and thought it would be fun to go do a little trap shooting out in the fields behind his house (for those of you wondering, yes, he lives in a very rural part of Idaho and this sort of thing is just another day in that part of the country). Having not done this myself since High School I thought it sounded fun. A little too fun it turns out, evident in the resulting gun purchase by a left wing democrat.<br />

I can’t say too much myself as it proved that when the next gun show comes through town,<br />

<br />
Either way we can’t get past the whole propaganda machine touting that Obama is going to take away our guns and as such gun sales are up and now the one brother I never would have thought to be a gun owner is. Sweet justice…<br />

Needless to say I’m not looking forward to this at all. 8 hours of stressed out jackasses on the road all trying to make it to Grandma’s house in time for turkey. I’m just hoping that the economy has more than a few of them scared off of the roads and into staying home. After all Grandma can heat up that hungry man and celebrate just fine with you.<br />
<br />
So to those of you lucky enough not to have to drive or fly somewhere this weekend, bless you. I just hope we don’t run out of liquor before it’s time to leave…<br />

You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes” Why me? I think it does this on purpose. It’s one of those little things that Apple has written into all their software that makes their products self destruct after so many months, ultimately requiring you to repurchase your music or go without. Thank God I learned so long ago to back up my itunes, but the problem is is that I have nearly 5000 songs and 28 gigs of the 30 used. Yeah it’s going to take me like 3 days to re load that back up. Bastards I tell ya, bastards!<br />
<br />
Don’t they know that I’ve been putting off cleaning up my itunes library for oh so many months now? I mean come on guys…do you know how many duplicate songs I have in there thanks to the penchants of itunes to duplicate rather than move songs after you’ve selected like 80 of them. Yeah, great idea there guys. Like I have the time to do that and restore my ipod. It’s not like I’m a web designer or system administrator or some other bull shit job that doesn’t require any real time focused to it. It seems that my employer gets pretty uptight when I decide to stay home and have a second or third cup of coffee while monkeying around on my computer. I have a real job it seems…I knew I should have finished my degree, but noooo I had to join the real world and pay my bills. If only I had stuck to it, I too could be one of those bastards that does nothing all day but sit in my pajama’s in front of my computer screwing around and calling it work. Bastards!<br />
<br />
And before I start getting the hate mail, yes, I’ve tried resetting my ipod, several times in a vain attempt to keep from having to face the truth that it needs to be restored. At least it still works in the car so the inevitable restore can be schlepped off for a few more days…</div>What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-38646922753990208102008-11-21T20:36:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:38:22.893-07:00Well<div class="entry-content"> Earlier this week I had the opportunity to head back to northern Utah and work with my former company on how to improve one of the departments of my current company. It was definitely beneficial, and should result in more than a few changes.<br />
<br />
It was nice getting back to Northern Utah. This time of year there is actually one of my favorites. The air is cool and the town is still sleepy and slow. It’s the time of year that the locals get to be local. Hang out at the double E for breakfast and coffee, hit Davanza’s for a slice at lunch and then on to one of the many great restaurants on main street, no reservations needed, just walk right in. On our last night in town we were able to hit The River Horse and ended up as one of maybe a half dozen tables that I’m sure they had that night. The food was still excellent, and the atmosphere was great. I’m not regretting the move to southern Utah, but I do miss the atmosphere that northern Utah had. I miss its restaurants, its liquor stores and the relaxed pace during the off seasons.<br />
<br />
The trip also served as a follow up for the cabinet job at my former property. I was able to verify my measurements and make sure that my ideas for the area will work. So now that that is out of the way it’s into production in a mad rush to get it completed and installed before the 15th of December. Yeah, the next few weeks are going to suck.<br />

WOW what a life’s ambition.</div>What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-48999323590373858322008-11-14T20:10:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:12:02.556-07:00Argument 3.0<div class="entry-content">Wife and I seem to be at odds over what time we should be hitting the gym. And no, I haven’t gotten my fat ass there as planned, <a href="http://whatthefetch.com/2008/10/20/crap/" target="_blank" title="Crap">here</a>, and <a href="http://whatthefetch.com/2007/06/20/what-the-fetch/" target="_blank" title="FETCH">here</a>, and I’m sure somewhere else but I’m sure you get my point.<br />
<br />
The fact of the matter is that I love sleep and the early morning is when I love sleep the most. All warm and snuggy with those sweet dreams of topless women, brilliant I tell you, absolutely brilliant. So the thought of getting ripped out of those sweet, sweet dreams by the screeching alarm clock at 5am just doesn’t twist my crank. But where we have yet to attain that lofty goal of being in debt to no one and being the masters of our own destinies we can’t just roll out of bed and hit the gym at 10am like so many other stay at home mothers. This leaves us with the evenings after work, or what I like to call slime time.<br />
<br />
Slime time is the time frame between noon and about 7pm when the gym is packed with those guys that really aren’t there to do anything but watch your crotch, their crotch, everyone’s crotch in the mirror. You know the guys I’m talking about. The ones that are generally found lurking around the free weights, looking like they’re staring at themselves in the mirror when in reality they’re staring at your wife’s crotch while she’s on the kegelsizer thingamajig. Or better yet when some unaware female enters the free weight area and runs through her routine while getting mentally raped by the slimers doing pseudo curls across the way. Don’t get me wrong here, women aren’t the only victims of the mental rape. I’ve seen a fair number of men checking out other men in the same fashion…it’s just creepy. But I think my absolute favorite is the home boy slimer. You know the one, it’s teen age/twenty something kid that’s there in his best “g” wear of baggy pants hanging around his ass and a tank top with a baseball cap on backwards. I swear the last time I was at the gym it was during slime time and I saw this kid that totally looked like he had just rolled in from his Friday night dressed in those half pant half shorts, you know, the ones that are too long to be shorts but too short to be pants…and his very best homie button down black shirt with ghost flames on it, gold chains and complimentary backwards baseball cap. What was he doing? lifting free weights…yeah…you tell me he’s not there in an effort to score some action. But honestly from the look of the kid the only action he was scoring was the redbull he fingered from the local 7-eleven. Slime time is chalk full of those guys that when trying to pick up women at the gym use that classic line of, “hey, you work out?”<br />
<br />
Rocket scientists I tell ya, rocket scientists!<br />
<br />
So I guess that leaves me one choice…get my fat ass out of bed and away from those bouncing boobies in my dreams and go to the gym…sucks!</div>What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-90782204674221598722008-11-13T20:08:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:12:17.246-07:00Waiting<div class="entry-content">Well, I’ve decided to wait on the redesign of the site until another day. There’s just far too much on my plate for me to focus on a redesign just yet.<br />
<br />
It turns out that I have landed a few bids for the wood business and as such will be giving it my focus over the next few weeks as it’s paying me, and well this site just isn’t rolling in the money as of yet. I do think that Wife is going to be posting up the latest and greatest of the gallery for the business though and that should be a huge improvement.<br />
<br />
So stay tuned, improvements will be coming down the pike but just not for a few weeks.</div>What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-37567054547045953692008-11-09T20:07:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:12:31.893-07:00One More Time<div class="entry-content">I’ve decided that there’s a great deal more that I’m looking for out of the sight and am just not in love with the current design. Even when I finished with it last month I was left feeling that there was so much more that it needed and that I wanted. The color scheme really wasn’t what I was looking for and just kind of fell into place based off of the dark header/logo.<br />
<br />
So what I’m trying to say is that I’m undertaking yet another redesign. At the same time I think I need to work with Wife on getting the business site up and running with an updated and modern version as well.<br />
<br />
So stay tuned for what I hope to be a more matching site to my personality. In the mean time I’m pulling the thematic site as I’ll have to change a number of default files to accomplish my goals and I’m sure the rest of you don’t want to watch this or that piece change over the next week or two.</div>What the Fetchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08982827874612653469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007491248961053560.post-13197751217300117902008-11-08T20:06:00.000-08:002010-07-11T20:07:31.588-07:00Yellow Sticky Notes<object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7IeSqVboADw&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7IeSqVboADw&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />
