5-Bullet Friday - December 25, 2015

Merry Christmas my friend... today's 5-Bullet Friday is five of the things I love about Christmas... I hope you do too. 
  • THE BREAKFAST:  With all the gourmet options on Christmas... Christmas morning tradition for me is a pile of fresh-backed Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with orange frosting. I indulge in those only once a year. Yum!! What is your Christmas morning tradition?
     
  • THE MUSIC:  Manheim Steamroller's Christmas is a timeless, enjoyable, modern interpretation of the Christmas classics. I've been listening to them for over 25 years every Christmas and it helps me put aside the problems of work and focus on the Christmas spirit. You can listen to this amazing music for free on Pandora. 
  • THE FIRE:  I am fortunate now to live in a house with a fireplace, but the Yule Log was my go to when I lived in an 800 sq ft house just a few years ago.
     
  • THE FAMILY:  Family truly is the number one favorite reason for Christmas. This year my family is blessed to be fostering two young boys - nothing more special at Christmas time. If you have ever thought about fostering or adopting, give me a shout, I would love to share our experience with you. It is incredible. 
     
  • THE FRIENDS:  Ever since I had my first paper route at the age of 10 for the Sacramento Union newspaper, I've enjoyed the customers I've met and the friends I made doing my job... and Christmas made it that much more special. Going door to door around Christmas time delivering papers and collecting monthly billings, was an experience that has stayed with me. Now, today, working with friends like you, I get the same joyful experience. Thank you.  
Thank you for being a part of 5-Bullet Fridays! If you missed previous 5-Bullet Friday's, you can catch up here.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

5-Bullet Friday - December 18, 2015

Here is your weekly fill up of 5-Bullet Friday, a few things that caught my attention that I thought were worth sharing with you...
  • FOR YOUR JEEP:  This is Bar Cabinet is almost a reason to install a traditional Jerry Can mount on your tire carrier. Can you say drinks on the Rubicon?
     
  • FOR INSPIRATION:  Most appropriate quote of the week: "Do or do not. There is no try." - Master Yoda
  • FOR YOUR INNER REBEL SPY:  How to Think Like a Spy by John Braddock is a quick read and a fun taste of the world of the dark arts.
       
  • FOR THE TUMMY:  Bacon. Truly my favorite snack food. Cabela's sells this incredible Wild Boar Bacon shipped direct to your door. It's leaner then traditional bacon with an incredible taste.
     
  • FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION:  I met a survival trainer once who was adamant that when the shit hits the fan, it's not going to be your ability to live off the land that will make a difference. It will be how well you survive the first 48 hours. Tools like this belt buckle were his go to for surprise personal protection.

5-Bullet Friday - December 11, 2015

Here is your weekly fill up of 5-Bullet Friday, a few things that caught my attention that I thought were worth sharing with you...
  • FOR YOUR JEEP:  As more and more companies enter the headlight market, you can go with just having a good light, or having a fashion statement. My friends over at HIDProjectors have created an explosive fashion statement with their line of headlights with a wide range of colors and options including custom logos. 
  • FOR THE SEASON:  Got Kids? Avoid the Santa at the Mall and go see him at Bass Pro Shops. Took my kids to the Santa's Wonderland at Bass Pro... No Lines, Lots of Games for the Kids and a talking Reindeer. 
  • FOR THE LAZY:  How Lazy do you really have to be to use the new Amazon Dash button?
     
  • FOR A GOOD READ:  Presidential elections are all over the news and Donald Trump is pretty much leading the media all over the place. Whether you like what he is bringing to the Presidential race or not, his book from the late 80's called The Art of the Deal is a good read and can help the interested understand just what he is about. 
     
  • FOR THE GO BAG:   I will always prefer a nice juicy steak for a good protein boost, but when the zombie apocalypse happens, whose to say the cows won't be part of the problem? But who ever heard of a zombie cricket? Cricket's have recently become the a popular source of easy to raise protein in the West even though the rest of the world has been eating crickets for years. Companies like Exo make incredibly well tasting protein bars and savory meal bars with flavors like BBQ that are healthy and packed full of cricket protein. Yum.

5-Bullet Friday - December 4, 2015

Here is your weekly fill up of 5-Bullet Friday, a few things that caught my attention that I thought were worth sharing with you...

  • FOR THE HONOR:  December 7 marks one of the most famous days in US History. Here is a great little article that shares what is was really like on that day. Please remember to honor those who served and lost their lives from this brutal attack. 
  • FOR WWII TRIVIA:  How good is your knowledge of WWII history? How many questions can you answer correctly on this short trivia test? 
     
  • FOR INSPIRATION:  Quote from my Facebook page worthy of sharing again: "There's a myth that time is money. In fact, time is more precious than money. It's a nonrenewable resource. Once you've spent it, and if you've spent it badly, it's gone forever." - Neil Fiore
     
  • FOR PRODUCTIVITY:   If you find yourself or your friends spending too much time on Facebook... like I was... here is a great plug-in for Chrome that blocks the much too addictive news feed so you are only going to the pages you want to see.
