Holidays are for the most part over.

Well I've been absent lately, mostly due to work and holidays. All that is finally almost over. This is the part of the year where I have HUGE downtime. Unfortunately it also means money will be tight.
Which is unfortunate because I will have to miss the group trip to Waverly in April :( :( :(

I was really looking forward to that but reality set in and it wasn't possible. However I am looking forward to seeing the results first hand. At least I have that.

I've heard we have another investigation in the works thanks to our newest member Ed. The holidays and work schedule have prevented me from meeting Ed yet but I hear he is pretty cool :)

Right now I'm just working, tinkering, on new equipment ideas. Who knew radio shack would be so handy with supplies. Now if I could just get them to stock a flux capacitor. Oh if you're looking for a relatively inexpensive supper bright led night illuminator, for a little spare change (ok a bit more then spare) I'd be happy to make you one. Get in contact with me for info.
these things have made total darkness look bright as day on camera. It's well worth it.


Thats all for now, it's 4:00am and I got woken up by some lightning... go figure, it was -30 with windchill last week and now it's 54 and raining cats and dogs. This is crazy.

Happy hunting and a Happy new year!

Illinois Politics

Well, I guess my state took a huge hit today. Our Governor was arrested, 6 possible senate candidates are under the microscope to take Obama's seat. Apparently they were all willing to cough up money to make the seat their own.
Politicians for sale, this is nothing new in Illinois. However I am glad they are finally getting what is coming to them. This entire state is corrupt and I think the "shit" will start rolling down hill from this point. It will start with the Governor and trickle all the way down to these low life politicians who have held their seats cause of this. It's time this state get's cleaned up and we finally get rid of deadbeats like Stroger, Blagojevich and Daley. Which I might add no matter how many scandals are brought to light in Daley's name, he plays the dumb card every time and claim he never knew about any of it. Talk about the biggest scammer of them all.

This better be a new day for Illinois.
