reenactorNet: September 2009

reenactorNet

This would be the blog of one Marshall J. Wise or "Marsh" to my friends -- it's "Marshall" to the company or others who know me not. If you are friend, then 'tis Marsh. Anywho, this be just my thoughts and bloviations on life, reenacting, the world and other thoughtless provoking crap. Yes, I am a reenactor, yes, I own reenactor.Net... Remember: work to live, not live to work.

*(and yes, look up the word bloviate on google)

About Me

Name: Marsh Wise

Location: Chambersburg, Colony of Penna, United States

Hmmm, "about me" huh? It's kind of boring. I'm a truck driver hauling U.S. Mail for a Postal Contractor. Reenacting Lessee, I am into reenacting... WWI, WWII and Roman. Doing the first two, I portray a German (no, I don't care one bit if you're offended), in the last, I do a 1st Century Roman impression. I find the Roman Empire fascinating. r.Net I have owned reenactor.Net (the biggest reenactor website on the planet) since 1998 and am constantly trying to make it better (for that, I really need 37 hour days). One good thing about r.Net is it allows me to meet and know a lot of really great and nice people who's knowledge just leaves me floored. How I think... Do you really care about how I think? I'm kind of a dork... If you read the blog, you'll see how I think (or don't think, if you listen to a lot of people).

Cold it is

Damn, it's been pretty much a cold summer and it seems like Fall is already here. Trees are turning in places... cold at night. I like the Fall! I just hope this doesn't mean we'll have a shitty-ass cold winter >:-( Winter is my least favourite season.

What's new? They're having a neighborhood yard sale this Saturday. So, Wendy will be selling stuff I paid big $$ for, for pennies. Joy. Yes, I AM a tightwad--so hate me, I guess.

Hoping that my other car will be done soon. It's been at the Mech's since LAST November... I even bought a new rear-end. I hope he can get to it. I need to go to the boat and can't w/ the one I'm driving--no oil pressure (go Lucas oil treatment!) and needs tires, PLUS it gets 10mpg, YES, 10! A frigging H1 Hummer prob gets better gas mileage. I shoulda went for the cash for clunkers thing, but... I didn't want a damned payment. New car would be nice, but ya know, not having another $300. bill each month is nicer. I will say this: yeah, I'm poor, but I don't have $50K in credit card debt like everyone else I know my age. D'OH!

Need to go take trash out and go to bed. Crap to do in the AM before work. Pay rent and meet someone. Oh, I put my check in and after the $200. the bank stole form me and paying my rent, I have a dollar, as in $1.00. Neat huh!? I DO wish to see banking reform happen and a banking customer Bill of Rights. Frigging thieves!!
