Ummm, rain again.

Mom left yesterday, she was here for a week and we did a lot of renovating.  We installed wood floors downstairs and what a difference it makes. We also changed the dining room into the computer room and the front room into the dining room, looks much better now. I've been working sporadically, mowing season is almost over here and its mostly leaf pickup now.  When I slow down too much I'm going to pull Avery out of daycare, no sense paying for that if I'm home.  Joe leaves on the 12th and will be gone for about 2 weeks. He'll be home for X-mas but wont take any leave this time, he's saving up his leave for when he gets out next year, he can sell it back to the Navy. Anyway, thats about it here. Tata!

RAIN! ugh.

So its been raining for 2 days straight. It wont rain today but I wont be able to mow anyway, my yards need a day to dry up. So, I called Karen (Coleman Landscaping) and asked her if she needed manpower.  I may be working for her today but hey, its money. 

I bought a new truck and its so great. Its a 2004 F150 V8 with a crew cab. Drives like butter. Bought it used with 22,000 miles on it so we got a great price. Now we're concentrating on selling the van.

Anyway, gotta jet!

Almost another year older

Its raining dammit. My work is backing up. I actually mowed in the rain this morning because I wouldnt have been able to reschedule the client until Oct 28th if I didnt do it today. Now that I have a trailer I'm also hauling trash and shit for people. I bought a 6X12 drop gate and she's beautiful.  I'm still saving up for the new weedeater that has interchangable heads, that may have to wait till spring.  Business is still booming and I havent run an ad in 4 weeks. I'm buying a new truck next week, mine is falling apart.  I also need more power to pull the trailer. Anyway, I gotta run. Toodles.

Holy Crap, its already OCTOBER!?

Ahhhhhhhh  Fall, it's no longer humid, the days are shorter, and I can charge more for leaf pick-up.  I've only had 2 customers drop me for winter so far.  I'm scoping out the trailer I want, its a 6X10 v-neck and I'm figuring on buying it next week.  I'm also investing in a new weed-whacker that has interchangable heads so that I can edge with a metal blade when needed. 

Joe leaves tomorrow for Florida.  They'll be in Tampa for 3 days I think, I'm not sure, he's going to call me when he gets there.  They'll get back here on the 15th.

Sydney had her second Brownies meeting last Thursday, she really likes it.  They went to Nemo On Ice last night as a feild trip and she loved it.  She starts swimming lessons Monday.

Thats about it for now!
