Sometimes I feel like this.

Is this up a creek with out a paddle, or just plain fucked? This is how I feel sometimes. No, not stuck on an island. Ready to go, but no road to take me. I wonder what this guy did to piss off his buddy? I got this from Shumps site.

Sitting here in St. Augustine, FL for some training for work, and ain't doing shit. I flew in early Sunday morning to go golfing, and I didn't want to mess with taking the clubs. So I just came to the hotel and checked in. I did go see the best movie I have seen this year, 300. It was awesome. I can't wait for the DVD to come out now. I don't go to the movies much anymore. I don't want to mess with the crowds. I tell you one thing though, I will never trust the driving directions from Mapquest again. I looked up the movie theaters here, and found the movie. Got directions, that were provided by Mapquest, and they sent me way out of the way. They also sent me down a neighborhood street, that came to a dead end. The directions didn't even lead me to the movie theater. I had to get directions the old school way. I had to pull into 2 convenient stores before I got the correct ones. All in all though, I had time to burn. After the movie I came back to the hotel and chilled. I surfed the web a little, and did some work. I was even in bed before 10pm, but couldn't go to sleep until midnight due to I am used to central time zone.

I got up and went to the training today. It was pretty informative, but still boring. We have a vendor rolling out a new engine concept this year to be under EPA standards. So we have a lot of training to go through this year. It's funny though, when I used to go out of town for training it was always a party. Now I ain't that thrilled to go out, and get all drunked up. Of course, I am going to go down to the motel bar, and have a drink or two tonight, but it won't be an all night deal. It's just not a big deal to me anymore.

Well enough about the boring times in my world. I am going to go get something to eat. Have fun.

BE COOL.

WHAT'S UP?

Man, a lot has gone one since October. My mom has even been down here twice. Once for Christmas, and she, my dad, and my grandparents came down last week.

The Softball Queen is on a city league team now that Tammy & I are coaching. Let's just say we probably won't be getting coach of the year awards. We are faking more than we know. We are enjoying it though. Our team is lacking in some skills, but ever game I do see improvement. It certainly keeps us busy. We have practice on Monday's. Games on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays. We didn't have a game this Saturday. I am certainly glad about that. I did have to work today though.

The shop is going good. We are finally in the black, and moving in the right direction. I head out to St. Augstine tomorrow for some training. Hopefully I will get some golfing in.

Tammy is staying busy with softball. She is the manager of our team, U8 director, and she is always helping out in the concession stand. Her health has been great down here also.

We got a new truck last month. I bought her an '07 Chevy crew cab. It is tan. I get to drive the old hoopty now. Actually, the Drama Queen has moved in with us so she will probably get the Ford. Back to the Jeep with me. I am currently looking for a motorcycle, that is cheap, to drive back and forth to work. I haven't had much luck locating one that I can afford though. Everytime I go to finance one the only way they will agree to it is that new Chinesse financing plan. Won Lump Sum. So I am saving my pennies, because all the nickels, and dimes go to the bills.

The Drama Queen is my oldest step-daughter for those of you that don't know, and the Softball Queen is her younger sister.

The Drama Queen is the trainer on the boys baseball team now. She was a trainer back in Texas. The baseball coach loves that she is here now. She doesn't take any crap from the boys, and knows what she is doing when it comes to taking care of the injuries.

We have moved to the big town of Loxley, AL. It is a smaller town, but we like it. We moved here in January. The small town atmosphere is a lot better than the town we were living in before. I felt like I was living in Plano, or Southlake. Too many snooty people. No offense to those that live in the above mentioned, but I wouldn't live in those towns either. Different kind of people. I have been putting some money away to buy a house next year around here. It looks like we are going to be here atleast 5 years. I hope we can survie. It's not that bad here, and we do love the town we live in, but it's still not Texas.

I thank the main reason I quit writing on this site for so long was, because I was getting a little home sick. Plus work has been a M.F. until lately. I feel like we are headed in the right direction now. This market is a different animal though.

Well, I will write randomly another time. No promises on the frequency though. It all depends on work,and being able to get on the computer. Living with 3 women used to be my dream, but it is a different thing when they are your family.
