Custom Guitar Project Build

Colton and I both ordered our parts to start our custom electric guitar builds. We decided to do a modern classic look and style with a retro feel, IE old style, no relics.

A surprise even to myself, I have decided to do another Stratocaster, which is the same model as my 'relic'. Colt is doing a Telecaster, which should be very cool.

Anyway the picture is similar to what I am going for. Stay tuned for news and pictures of my progress.

So three of my daughters have married in the past two years, did they all have to marry actors? I would have been happy with a cop, doctor and a lawyer. Nope just actors. Girls I hope all of those good looks are worth it.

It's Official

I received word that my Gubernatorial appointment to the new Risk Adjustment Board was confirmed by the State Senate today. I will be serving as the employer/employee representative for the citizens of Utah. The position has a minimum two year term. Our immediate task is to develop the business rules, policies & procedures, including pioneering a shared risk adjustment mechanism for the Utah Health Exchange. It is going to be a sizable task, but very exciting, with national implications.

Whew, now it is time to really get to work and labor for a great outcome for Utah and the rest of the nation!

Gettin' a New Boss, Huntsman Resigns

About ten days ago the Obama administration sent a memo to the DNC. It stated that the only Republican that might beat Barack Obama in the next Presidential election would be Jon Huntsman, Jr. R-Utah Governor. I guess sending him to China kinda of gets him out of view of the national political scene. Don't agree, when was the last time you heard anything from the Ambassador of China, or do you even know who he is? Granted, there may be no one more qualified than Huntsman, but this definitely is going to impact the US politics for several years to come.

Interestedly enough, I will be receiving a new boss in regards to our health reform efforts. Hopefully, the new Governor will be as interested and supportive. Keep your fingers crossed. There will be a lot of political jockeying going on in Utah in the next few weeks as Governor contenders wrangle for support with the power brokers.

So who you voting for, and who was your favorite this season?
