Well, oh well. Too bad that isn't all I have to say! I hope 2009 begins better that 2008 ended and so far it has. December was a hell of a month and I meant that in a bad way. Christmas was good and seeing family was good too but all that freaking rain just killed any chance of having a payday in December. The weather wasn't all that kept me out of work though. We finished one job and were preparing to move to the next job. Business as usual it would seem but this time the money dried up and nothing could be done but pray. The man that I was to sign a contract with ended up in the hospital near death and I wasn't about to bother him until he made it clear he was ready to proceed. Every time he set a time for us to get together to work things out, he ended up in the hospital again. It really is sad. He wants to be sure his wife is taken care of so he gave her power of attorney. Once we got that done the rain just worsened. We FINALLY got to work yesterday, December 31 and got a second day in today, the first day of the year. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Other bad news is the van is having problems. Nothing like being stuck on the interstate at 2am new years day. The man upstairs was looking out for us again. My brother just so happened to be right where I could get him on the line and he came to get the family while I waited on a tow. Our other van....aka the magic school bus, is still in the shop because all the king's men can't get the thing going again. It has a brand new engine in it because at about 110k miles it the old one went down. Right before it went down a deer tried to dive through the drivers door as I was carrying the family to town. Am I rhyming? Anyways, among other problems the thing will be almost totally reworked lacking only a little interior work. I want to turn it into the yellow submarine but the boss lady won't let me. Imagine.....I big ole yellow 15 passenger Chevy with yellow window tint that has little portholes in it. I was going to get one of the little boat propellers, or impellers, on the hitch and try to find a small para scope that works. finish it off with some bluish stickers to make it appear as though it has just surfaced. Wouldn't that be cool? Maybe I can get out of debt by the end of '09 and then I'll just do it! LOL shhhhhh......
That's it! My New Years Resolution is to be a poor as I possibly can! Seeing how I, and probably you, can't keep a resolution all year it could mean I'll slip up and have money for a change. Wouldn't that be nice?
Y'all take care now! Ya hear?
