The world of Cope Occurrences
After church, Talon wanted to go on a drive and I initially said no, because it was foggy, dark and I was tired. After a bit of thinking I changed my mind because I realized that Talon will soon be going on his Mission and I won’t be able to spend quality Father/Son time together. […]
While Roscoe was chopping wood at 88 years young, he felt a problem with his heart and thought he was in Afib. Turns out he had a leaky valve and with the extra exertion he tore his heart valve. After a couple of times to the emergency room, they got him scheduled for a valve […]
After 3 months at Cabelas, I decided to tender my resignation. It has been an interesting experience for sure. I really like dealing with the customers and most of my co-workers are awesome. However, it has been a frustrating job because of a myriad of little annoyances that they and I are unable to resolve. […]
Stacia and I decided to contact one of the HobbyTown owners to see how the franchise was going before we proceeded down that path. Turns out it isn’t good. We had forgotten a lot of the stuff that annoyed us with the franchise when we sold and it has only gotten worse, A-Main doesn’t care […]

A while back, the neighbors who were renting the house next door, the “parents” decided to leave to go camping and leave all the kids at home. The kids decided to throw a party. We had the joy of getting woken up at about 1AM with the cul-de-sac full of police cars. Apparently somebody got […]
It was a fun night going to see Alton Brown in “Concert” 🙂 I’ve been fan for some time starting with the show Good Eats. It was a lot of fun getting to spend time with the family and I purchased a autographed copy of his book. I’ve got most of the event recorded because […]
So I have been into the Johnny Cash rendition of the song ‘Hurt’ originally done by the Band Nine Inch Nails. It is an interesting contrast to me. The Nine Inch Nails version is basically about a younger man whose life is spiraling out of control. The Johnny cash version is about someone nearing the […]
