The video, as promised..

Here is the video of Ron Paul's short speech at the Bismarck area GOP District conventions yesterday...


Sorry for the little glitches in the video, I was recording with my camera and snapped a couple of pictures at those points...

 Enjoy!

Can you spare an hour?

Dear friends,
 
 What does liberty mean to you? Does it mean the same thing to you that it did to our founding fathers? Many of them gave their LIVES to give us the freedoms we are blessed with, what would you do?  Could you spare an hour of your busy lives to watch the following movie? I did...


Now, go read the constitution, and the decleration of independance, and see if you can catch the vision our forefathers had, and realize the great potential our country has!

 I will be going to see Ron Paul in Bismarck tomorrow night, and will hopefully have a few pictures and video to share with you soon!
  
  For Liberty,

For sale: SOLD!

Hello all!

 We have had another busy week around here, but I guess that's kind of normal... :-) A good bit of our activity came about through the excellent website www.bismanonline.com, which is THE online classified ad website for the entire ND area, and reaching into the neighboring states and Canada as well!  Here is a brief overview of how it influenced our week:
 Wednesday: I listed our 1985 Chevy Caprice Classic on BMO. About four hours later we received a phone call from somebody who wanted to buy it, if we could meet him in Bismarck.  SOLD!
 Thursday: I listed my 2001 Dodge Stratus on BMO.  Got a call less than three hours later, the guy said he wanted it and was on his way to pick it up! SOLD! By the time he got here, I had already got two more calls on the car!   I also spent part of the day working on a computer for a guy who found out about me through BMO... :-)
 Friday: Dad and I drove to Minot to pick up another project car. Yes, I did find it on BMO...  While on the road to Minot, I got a call from somebody interested in the '02 Dodge Intrepid I had listed on BMO, and wondering if I could meet him in Bismarck that evening. It worked out that Mom was able to bring the Intrepid to town, and then catch a ride home with us as we came back through Bismarck.  SOLD!   Friday morning, Cora hit a deer with her van on the way to work, so we will probably be selling that on BMO as well... :-)

So, we sold three cars in three days -- not bad, eh?  I think that is our record for fastest sales though... :-)   I guess I need to get another one running, as we are kind of short on vehicles now!

  That's all for now!

Where does time fly?

Hello!
  You might very well be wondering what has happened to me, due to my recent lack of blog posts... I assure you I have only been extremely busy, and haven't had the time to sit down and write what I have been up to. :-)  So, I will take a little time now to give a brief update of the past couple of weeks:

  The second weekend in January found our family at the Crystal Springs family camp, for the annual "Spring Fever Family Camp" hosted by some friends of ours, the S. family.  We had a very enjoyable time visiting with friends,

 making new ones,

playing Volleyball;

and ping-pong;

eating good food;

and listening to the excellent guest speaker, Kevin Swanson from "Generations With Vision"!

Thanks again for all of your hard work, S. family, and all of you who helped out too!

  Dad, Jacob and I have spent several days over the last two weeks over near Spiritwood, where we were working on taking apart and removing two grain cleaners from an old elevator...  It was a lot of work, but thankfully we have all of the pieces home now, so now we have to work on putting them back together...  :-)   

 Last weekend, Dad and Mom went to Aberdeen SD. for the Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture Society's (NPSAS) annual Winter Conference.  On Saturday, I went up to Minot to help out with an Appleseed shoot, which was a lot of fun! I am an Instructor In Training with the Appleseed program, so am working hard to learn what I need to know to advance towards being a full instructor... :-)

 I have also been busy helping out with the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, attending our district reorganization meeting, making some phone calls to supporters, etc.  We still have a long way to go, but it is a good cause!

  In my spare time I have been working on a 2001 Dodge Stratus, which I picked up really cheap because the engine would not start.  It really wasn't a serious problem; the water pump had gone bad, and caused the timing belt to break... I have it in running condition again, although there are a couple of things to work on yet.  For instance; the back windows will not go up or down, there is a dent in the right rear door, and it needs a new battery... But at least it runs! ;-) 

  That's all for now,
     Andrew B.
