Some of us from work are voulunteering time with Habitat for Humanity tomorrow.  I've been wanting to help out on this te last couple times, but I always had some other plans, so I'm looking forward to it.

Tom you should have fun

 

Me and my dad a few yes back (2 yrs in a row) did a thing called Christmas in April (habitat for humanity project).  We fixed up an exisiting home

 

1st yr I sided a house and painted the windows.  

 

2nd year we fixed up a girl scout house (house wasnt used in years).  They are using it now.  We got hooked up with so many g.s cookies  

 

That yr i put in a a few drop ceilings

Cool I would like to do that some day to, but just haven't had the time to be able to help lately.

Well, crap!  It didn't happen.  For me, at least.  I couldn't find the dang place.  I wasn't at work on Friday due to a class I had to attend, so it could have been cancelled or changed the date or time and I didn't know about it.  But I followed the map they gave us, and showed up at 8 am, but where my map said to go, there was nothing going on.  I drove around for about an hour all over the little roads around there trying to find something that looked like a house was being constructed, and found nothing.  Found some that could use some re-construction though.  

 

 

Oh well, hopfullu I can catch the next one.

I missed one earlier the summer. I am sure it is alot of fun though.

This summer all the guys that I made Chief with worked on one. It is a good program and something that really helps people out.

Alright, going again tomorrow.  I now know exactly where the place is, so there should be no problems finding it this time.

Had to do "Sophomore Service" in high school...basically volunteer community service projects.  I ended up at a daycare helping out(inner city area).  Felt like a stranger for the first week, but at the end the kids would grab me legs when I was getting ready to leave.  Doing some good like that always makes you feel good.  Always say it's a shame our department is so busy arresting folks instead of doing more positive things, thus why I like lockouts and stuff when I get sent on them, helps keep the cynical attitude down.

SOB!!  Canceled because it was wet and muddy at the site.  Ladders were sinking into the ground.     Of course, I didn't find out until I got there.

 

Maybe I'll try again this Saturday.

Well maybe third times a charm.  Or maybe they really don't want you there and this is there suttle way of telling you that.
