Another year, many ups and downs, Politics, NDAA, OWS, oppression, Revolution the world over, the ever shrinking dollar, My own Government classing me as a terrorist,  the trashing of the constitution, Many wars and rumours of wars, the many disasters here and abroad, car troubles, big family problems, jobs, No snow yet! To name a few, However, Putting that aside, for me personally, it a was a time of growth and revelation, much good came of it all!  I am the richest man in the world, my family, my friends, my success, all of that and more!

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Marcus Aurelius.

I wish you all a happy new year and a good life.

As I look back, I give thanks to god for the peace and ease of the last year, and I give thanks for the unknown future, for surly he will watch over us and guide and protect us. I know that I don’t always get what I want, But I always get what I need, if I just have faith. Time and time again this has proved true. Lord help me to remember this and please look after all of mine and I and all the ones here and gone. Thank you, all of you, in my life, past and present , for the good times, they were great and  for the bad, for they were good lessons.

To the ones I love, all of you, then and now, I love you, I will always love you, till the stars are cold and the light goes dark……. Good night and good life, later Edward.

And now for the traditional song.

Thank you.

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

The Bars are now done. Here are a few pictures to show them off a bit and at

The discovery school security bars for the back door, Not done yet, still have to clean them up and weld it all together, but you can get an idea of they are going to look like.  All parts are forged, by hammer, by me, the only welding i used is to put it together. The sun took the  longest to make, came out well i think. Any questions ask, later Edwyrd.
