From the Desk of John Rourke – August 11th, 2015

I had announced several times that I would be AFK (away from keyboard) all last week but I never mentioned what I was going to be doing. I went on a cruise to the Bahamas for the week. It was a blast.

I sailed out of Port Canaveral, Florida. First stop was the island of Coco Cay. Next was Nassau for the entire day. The following day was spent on the ocean and the last day arrived back Port Canaveral.

I will share more details later on in the week. Until then – here is a preview:

I still managed to get a workout in on the ship.

I like a lot that Trump is saying and the fact that he says it like it is. The problem is he just says too much. He is not polished and says things that will be used to pit the general voter against him. He is not electable. If he goes 3rd party the election of Hillary Clinton as President is guaranteed.

I am looking at a project fixing up a pickup truck. Any thoughts or suggestions on the model to use? I have thought of a 1986 Toyota 4×4 pickup. A Jeep Cherokee also would make a good choice but I would prefer a pickup.

This weekend The Group is meeting and one of the agenda items is goals. We are getting together and looking out 1 year. By next August what do we as a team want to accomplish? Why 1 year from now? Well, I guess you could call it a gut feeling. Many of us just have a feeling that time is getting shorter. We need to step up our preparations and time is critical.

Do you have that feeling? If so – what are you doing about it?
