Wow....

Just when you think you have life figured out, outta the blue comes a smack in the face from left field. I dont Mean the left fielder for the Yanks either.

For Example-
When I was younger I set goals for my life and they wern't just whims... These were very well thought out goals for me to shoot for as I grew up. Well.... I have reached some of those goals and found myself standing at a point where I realize I undershot my goals.

Finding out I undershot means that I get to kick start my brain!! SO COME ON BRAIN... Lets get the party started!!

The Biggest Hobbie EVER!!

You know... I've got a lot of hobbies and activities that I enjoy participating in. Some I still do more than others.

But, I know for sure that is the biggest hobbie and the most rewarding is the way I spend the majority of my time now.

My baby girl turns 1 today and has to be my best accomplishment in life. She is way too cute and way to sweet!!

Her mom and me are very proud parents and we love our little family. At this pint in my life I entirely belive that a childs smile is the most contagious feeling in the world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABBY GIRL!! DADDY LOVES YOU!!

Riding Motorcyles in Fog

Ahhhh... Its just a little fog!! Bull!!! The first time I rode a bike in fog was just after I started riding. I was riding back and forth to work at the time which was about 1 hour and 10 min each way. I didn't have leather jackets, chaps, or even a rain suite! I just had on a pull over hoodie and my jeans. As the ride started out I'm like, This is pretty cool with the nice mist like morning keeping the summer temps bearable. Long story short, by the time I got to work that morning you would have thought that I had rode through a Monsoon!! I was soaked!! All of the guys at work who had been riding for years just busted out laughing as I walked through the door! Lesson well learned. Fog and motorcycles only mike if you have the right gear for the situation!!

05 F150 SuperCrew

I bought a used 05 F150 SuperCrew about a year ago. I never have been the type to leave my vehicles stock, so I've made a few changes for after market parts. I added a 2.5" Leveling Kit to the front to allow me to clear 295/75/17 in Nitto Terra Grapplers on Moto Metal 951's. I have and Edge Evo Programmer to help with power, fuel economy, and Tire size adjustments for the speedometer. I added a Magnaflow 18" muffler (Welded into the stock pipes). I have tinted windows to help keep it cool along with Vent Visors to allow me to keep windows cracked without the summer shower soaking my insides. I have a drop in bed liner to cover up where the previous owner used the bed for and actual truck. I also have a Tri Fold Bed Cover that allows me to easily open and close the cover as needed. Not only does it make it unique but each thing serves a purpose. All and all with the addons and the versatility of the 4 doors with a bed to haul and still pull up to 8000 to 10000 pounds makes this a very very nice vehicle.

Do You Know!!??

Do you know anyone who actually took a vacation to go see results of the oil spill in the Gulf. Kind of a wierd concept and then when you stop and think about it, something inside says... "COULD BE INTERESTING!"

What did we do before the internet

In the recent weeks I have been looking into finding a way of making some extra cash. What I have really found is an even greater appreciation for the Internet. I remember going through high school and doing research on a card catalogue to find books that could be relevant to the subject we were supposed to be writing about. Well now as I do research on possible money making ideas, I literally haven't even picked up a piece of paper. All my curiosities have been fulfilled with a little searching on the Internet. Such a powerful tool if you just know how to ask the right questions. So my thought on this subject simply matches my title. WHAT DID WE DO BEFORE THE INTERNET?

To Small Business or not to Small Business!!

Well this morning I find myself in the shoes of many many people. Some of those have taken ideas and ran with them and created products or services that literally changed the way people live their lives today. Bill Gates and Microsoft being the one that sticks out in my mind. I mean come on... he literally took a garage hobby changed the world forever. Well my small business idea in no way could effect the entire world. I just want to find some way of supplementing my income a little to try and stay ahead of the rat race we call life. Never the less it is a decision that has to be made carefully. Weigh the risk versus the possible advantages. Best Case worst Case and in the end it comes down to making a decision.
