I can really be a dork

  Spoke in front of the Galva city council in hopes to expand BHCO to that area.I wasnt at my best tonight even when I spoke to the paper.I probably confused more people than I enlightened.I guess the good thing is that we may be able to get together and talk more about what exactly we can do to help each other.These last couple of weeks have really been hard on me,I am so disappointed in myself for my inability to follow the signs that I am flustered.I have been gifting and helping where I can in hopes to get back on track.
  I will also be visiting another community in the area in hopes of expanding BHCO.I shall make a site visit to that area thursday or friday of this week.

waiting on signs

I have some of the signs painted and may try to hand paint the lettering to save money.I may be able to draw out the letters or stencil them to be able to paint them faster by hand than getting them done by somebody else.I will do some checking tomorrow,I cannot seem to get results tonight.There are a total of like 18 signs that need painted and installed(eventually)which ads up quickly (money wise)when you dont have a job..I may be able to supply the labor  and paint the lettering for less than 5 dollars for all the signs, the problem is I have no idea what I am doing.I have been doing some web research and have actually seen a sign painter do his work about 15 years ago on an old work truck I had.I believe I can do it and make it presentable.It will be interesting to say the least,but it is worth a shot..I hope to be able to install signs very soon,and will hopefully be moving forward on the paperwork again..
  See how fast things can change,I guess I will be getting a quote from breedloves on the signs..I have a lot of stuff coming from them already..It sounds like I may be going to work soon to cover these costs.I only walked away from the computer to to do a few things and make a few calls,bam..Change can happen quickly and it is necessary to roll with it in order to make small leaps..

I just cant do it ,with the best of terms

  I cant do it! I cannot put myself into debt for a town that is so unwilling to help.To mortgage everything I have to help a city that has no intention of helping or changing is plain old fashioned stupid. I will be expanding the finished BHCO into surrounding cities instead,this will give others a chance to participate.I know that this is my home now and I gave them an opportunity I will certainly offer to new cities in hopes of more participation.Do not mistake the fact that the program here can fund its own growth by participation in the existing memorial,investment and community sponsored tree programs.Also I will certainly be willing to continue planting trees to private individuals properties for donations as well as offer political and community support in hopes of change.As for putting myself out to feed a people who have no time to hear the mission I was given,too bad the angel investors and sponsors (individual citizens) weren't there.For the few that have participated so far,I thank you and offer you this heart warming goal.If all the trees currently planted in Kewanee are sponsored,enough money will be produced to expand into a city saving ag based program creating all I have previously offered,if not ..You have only what is here and the "ball is in your court"..
  I may do some wet lands work here ,but it will be a much slower process as I will be concentrating my efforts where I have been welcomed..I will most certainly finish up with what I have so far (fighting over bushes with neighbors that are on my land has shown itself to be the last straw as far as property line disputes go).

So where will BHCO expand too first? Actually 2 places come to mind and one has actually offered invites through its citizens which is always a good sign.I shall be traveling to these cities to address the council in  these areas and "tell them" my plans..Yes I want to make it clear.I have no need to ask permission to do Gods work,It is through prayer that I am guided to results.By asking city governments if I can do something I am sworn to do makes no sense to me,besides BHCO works everywhere and when I asked certain authorities permission to plant in the past,I was nearly mislead by false statements regarding issues like zoning and building codes.Thankfully not so much in Kewanee. However it is nice to learn easement issues,have friends inside the cities inner circle and always good to have local law enforcement on board with the program.The police here in Kewanee have been excellent in understanding what I am up against and they have been good about it.I have been amazed by them on many occasions and will certainly support them.

So I guess I am not going to tell you where too first.LOL I may know something by Monday..
 p.s.
   Dump trucks are as follows,one on the mend and one about to be traded for labor..Stump carver has seen the three stumps and heard 2 and a half hours of "my story"to seed his thoughts before I gave him artistic freedom to create whatever he sees  fit.He may also take equipment as payment( bolens and planter).I was able to get some paint from a previous employer in the cities (they wish to be anonymous) and will be painting signs this weekend.All work on the orchards need to be completed as my return to work may be quickly approaching.I have some training to update at the end of the month, and then I have offered myself up for travel during the 2013 paint season to secure expansion funds .I dont have a 100% guarantee on a job,but I believe it will be the case as the quad cities comes back on line.
  I feel I have made the right decision in showing support for my friend Chad Kilstrom for city council as I may not be able to participate except through skype support if I do leave town. I would also like to say my friend Wilson has also filed as a write in candidate to show his support for team Kilstrom.I shall enjoy trying to lead Chad to victory and will promote his campaign by running as long as possible and heading off opposition,I believe Wilson will be doing the same.I will also apply at the city for work in hopes that a future or "now" political position here wont bankrupt me.To work for the city would be a huge pay cut ,nearly 20 dollars an hour less without counting the extra 500 to 1000 a week lost in o.t.
wages.Yes I make good money working,and my body pays for it.But I have a few good years left and my training is all up to date so I can slowly settle for a less paying job as BHCO grows..I have no problem picking up garbage or whatever,these jobs are safer and cleaner than mine,this would give  me time to help my community move into the new world.Who would listen to a garbage man you say? Who listens to a guy whom is on a noble God given mission to help others?  NOBODY .. You see, it doesn't matter the position you hold its the STAND you take. It will always be a battle,yu just have to be willing to fight.

  I will be meeting with stump carver in about an hour about carving three large trees into something very special(need a couple grand,might have this covered by friend),also looking for money too expand BHCO(43,000) and campaign funds(600)to keep things moving..angel investors welcome for the 43 as well as someone to carry a three year note with no penalty for early pay off..also job needed for union painter with a T.W.I.C. who is willing to travel if need be...that just about covers it for the finances..I love how everybody wants somebody to change the town I live in,but nobody seems to be willing to help financially..
  Although I will be running for  council ,I hope my friend Chad Kilstrom is the one who gets in this year.I will be much more help as a committee member ( another friend will also hopefully throw his name in the ring) .I am certain his hopes are the same as mine..If we can all get our voices heard and be able to get Chad elected,we will have something special...AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE.A VOICE..That is why we need the 600 dollars..We will certainly need campaign signs 50=300.. a couple of small ads =150.and some card board and picket type signs to demonstrate to the public a couple of times a week until the election=100.. and misc =50..We have decided between the three of us that we will certainly support each other and all agree that if we had monies we would use it to expand BHCO and not waste it on politics..It is more important to us to DO than to HOPE TOP DO ..Why would we all run then? Think very hard about that question and you will certainly figure it out..
  Tomorrow I will be going to the bank to see if they can help(PNB) but I gotta tell ya If they have nothing to help me expand BHCO,I will most certainly have to travel with work to be able to grow the project..If my own community cannot help,I see no hope for Kewanee or its people,I guess they should be thankful I believe I am doing the Lords work or I would stop helping..I will let the decision be made by the one who Judges on how to determine what is what.For those of you who dont believe In God will certainly not understand any of this ,too bad for you..
  Also Chad and I came up with a good idea about getting some business cards to leave around to help with his election.I think this is another cheap alternative and will allow a more direct message .

lets share

 So I am having a hard time finding a job because the economy is bad for my line of work.So i am sitting on very little money and a nearly completed program to change the world and all I can think about is how if I had 43,000 dollars I could grow to 20 times what I am right now and be done by this time next year. I hate to say it but I believe that it is time to start asking people to give money or loan it interest free of something.!! 11,000 of the money is for fuel and living expenses along with taxes ect on what is already owned..I cannot believe I have gotten little to no help for this important project.I guess I better start looking for help elsewhere..I know if I file for 501c3 I can get more help but the time to move is now!! this means I need pending donations or gifts of cash,heck even sponsored trees would help. So I guess I dont understand the delay.

its going good

I have figured out the signs and even have some of them started.The same goes for tree markers and even the campaign signs are understood.I have to tweak the paperwork a little but I believe that first draft of all of it is complete,I must produce a better draft before my lady will even attempt  consolidating it.I have such a hard time with expressing myself in words,its almost as if I have a touch of ass-burgers(this would also explain my inability to "fit  in").I am so thankful for everything coming together, I will be taking a break from drinking beer for a while so my body can rejuvenate.Besides I dont need all that extra calorie intake without manual labor to burn it  it up.How exciting ,it wont be long now and the web master can have his long awaited information (Mas) and then the filing of the 501c3 status..I dont want to scare it away so I will bow out on this note..
 I went back to the topix forum to see how they(topix) is handling the bullying situation,notta.I havent posted anything but have proven my point..For a few days topix was doing good and now they are back too trash talk so I will have to meet with the states attorney to see what can be done.It is so funny how they post their rules and then dont follow them..Its not freedom of speech, its a disgrace to freedom of speech and the law of accountability.
