Things have been a little crazy around here lately with the amount of hours I've been putting in at work. Put in a crapload last week at a water damage site over at Merril Lynch and for the last few days I've been stripping tile over at another customer's house. I haven't spent any time going out and I've been in bed no later than 11 o'clock every day. It's interesting being on a normal schedule! I think that for the past 4 years I've spent more time awake at night then I have during the day. It's probably pretty close considering the last 4 years have been spent at Texas State and Texas A&M. Always some social function or some random reason to be awake at all hours.
So with my probation and court fees it's been tough trying to find the money to pay all the rest of my bills. A boy's gotta eat ya know. Well now that school has started up for the rest of the people here in town, my bosses Virgil and Karan have made Corey and I the fulltime employees at Brazos Cleaning and Restoration Co! I've calculated it out and as of today I'm able to cover all of my monthly bills. Sawweeeeet!
I still have 40 hours of community service to deal with over the next month and I'm prayin' I get it done in time. I've finally finished 2 out of 6 months of my deferred adjudication so 4 more months until Military Sealift Command! Probation payments will be done by next month so with that extra cash I'm not spending I can finally afford to get my passport, TWIC card, and Merchant Mariners Document. After February 24th (the deadline for my community service and probation payments) it'll be smooth sailing (or motoring...sealift command doesn't use sails...)!
Also something of note. I've come up with some longterm plans to open up a Motorcycle/ATV rental shop somewhere here in the states. Find a tract of land and offer motorcycle and ATV tours of some beautiful environment. Can't decide if I want to do motorcycles or dirtbikes really but maybe I can do both later on! Have some cabins that people can stay in for vacations and all. Would be pretty sweet.
I'm not sure where I want to start it up, but Oregon, Utah, and Arkansas come to mind. I was thinking about California...but I don't really want to live there and I really only want to go to Northern California.
Anyways, we'll see!

we need to talk about this rental shop idea... michael and i have always wanted to start a b&b somewhere like colorado... so if you've got cabins, you have a handyman/tour guide and a chef/manager at your disposal... but we can chat about that sometime over dinner... maybe when you come for your niece's first birthday party? love you~ kg
