I have decided to open a blog that is dedicated to AR-15's.  This will be where I will connect to the videos and articles I will be making about assembling and modifying an AR15 rifle.  This will probably be a slower blog since it will be a little while before I start assembling my 6.5 Grendel, but I will post on it and show many useful tips to beginners.

I am just starting a series on AR15's.  This should be an interesting series if you are just getting into them.  I will be going over building one from the ground up and sub-assemblies etc.  Here is the article I just wrote tonight about the history of the AR15.  Read it here.
We have the fundraiser for Rylan tomorrow.  A little excited and a little nervous about it.  He does need some medical equipment that insurance isn't fully covering so far.  Three items cost about $10,000.00 - a bed, a communication device, and a walker.  So I hope that everything goes well today.  The flyer can be seen here

I have been absent too long on here.  I do apologize, I honestly do not have a good reason.  In the future, I will try to be better about not missing.

There has not been a lot of work done on a lot of my writing.  I did write "Two new sites, for me".  This title will most likely be changing soon.  I had two people I referred to WikiNut sign up.  I will need to check their progress today and encourage them a little. 

I did get to go out and shoot my AR15 the other day.  I will be writing more about this.  I should have taken a picture of the target to show you all.  I love that gun.  Ella also went shooting with me.  She shot her customized BB gun.  I will write more later.

Heya,
I worked today, somewhat fun because I have only been closing the store lately.  It was nice to work during the day and get to actually do floor work.  Looking forward to doing more opening stuff, although I am a little nervous about someone else watching the kids.  We know the person who is going to be babysitting though.  This does help out.

I published a hub today called "Why you need to recycle: Plastic Bag Truths".  While writing this hub, there was a little of information I did not realize.  I am glad that I already took the time to recycle plastic bags and such.  If you are concerned about the environment take the time to read this hub and tell me what you think.  I would appreciate it.


It has been a long couple days so I am going to head to bed.  You all have a wonderful day, night, or whatever it is where you are reading this.

I ended up having a busy day today.  Had the kids while my wife was working.  My daughter and I ended up prepping some pots for transplanting veggies.  I think Rylan is getting a little sick.  Hopefully it isn't his ears again. 
Ended up buying an AR-15 5.56 today.  I love it so far, but I haven't even had a chance to shoot it yet.  I am hoping that sometime this week I will.  Maybe March 3rd, during the day I can get out and do some shooting.  That evening is Rylan's fundraiser so I will actually have a day off. 
Hubpages changed some of its policy so I ended up going through about 45 hubs and updating them.  I don't have too many more to updated but man does it suck.
The only article I wrote today was for WikiNut, so I need to wait for it to be reviewed and published and then I will post it.
Good night everyone.

Just got back from my workout, sometimes I do not feel like going but when I get done; it feels good.  I biked for 15 minutes at 15 mph then ran just over two miles.  I did a light upper body lift and came home to watch a show with my wife and work on an article.  I still need to post my goals for weight loss and getting back into shape.  I did pick up a sign up sheet for a 5k run/walk; I wanted to get back into shape and start doing some races again - this may be a good deadline for me.

I am exhausted today.  The last couple of days I have gotten very little sleep and I am feeling it now.  Blah...

Anyways, I am going to crawl into the attic and see if I can find the front door transformer up there.  Then by the time I get finished with that it will be time for me to head to work.

I think I have come up with a plan for working out and eating better.  I will share more with you on this later.  I also need to weigh myself in the morning.  I am looking forward to this in a way and not looking forward to it in another.  I should finish an article on WikiNut.  I hope that you will check it out when I publish it.  See you later.
I started looking into fixing the front doorbell last night.  Sadly, it looks like it is the transformer and I have no idea where the previous owner placed the transformer.  I will need to find this when I get more time.
I published five articles on writing on Hubpages the other day.  My unique views more than doubled for a day.  And then plummeted down to just above where they were before that.  I do hate that most of my articles have to mature a month or so before getting better links.  The series starts with Hubber Advice: Keywords and Competition.  Read it and let me know what you think, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am a WikiNut!

I just submitted my first article to WikiNut.  Actually, as I wrote that first sentence I was just notified that my first submission has been accepted and was published.  Hooray, for me!  I am curious to see the differences between WikiNut and Hubpages.  Over the next week or so, I will be working on getting products into my Etsy shop and making a couple of YouTube videos.  I will be looking to get people on board and making a rss feed for the blog that ties everything in together.  See you all later.
Hello!
Welcome, this blog is going to be covering a very eclectic selection of topics.  For example, last night I finished five articles on writing and making money for Hubpages.  This series started with "Hubber Advice: Keywords and Competition" and continued onto linking and cross-linking, gaining followers, finding topics, and earning money from Hubpages.
I am going to be somewhat personal on this blog as well.  Currently, I do not want to have three or four blogs.  To handle this I am going to be writing about how I am doing overall.  I want to lose weight - roughly 35 pounds.  And I will explain this a little more later.
This blog is going to cover things I want to make, things I find interesting, and be a general blog about The Ohio Tinkerer, that would be me fyi.  I hope you stick around and get to know me and I you.  See you around.
