Once upon a time I was on top of posting and reading journals like a wildman. A little over a year later and you pretty much see me out to pasture with all the other old race horses. I still like writing but with the nature of my job and everything else I’m lucky to put my boxers on with the tag in the back.

I will update you in bullet points.

1) Broke the right front end off my golf cart last Thursday right after we brought it back from jumping “sand ledges” at the beach.  Cold, fun and then *POW*!!! Thank Science it decided to give out once we made it off the beach. Riding on the beach is not permitted. WHOOPS!!!! Me and my buddy had to put the front left tire on a skateboard and back it to my house. Took us all of 40 minutes.

2) Sold my jetski. Yep, got a buyer in this weather. I’m over it and so off it goes. It was in perfect shape so I got 6200 bucks back out of it. I paid 9500 over 3 seasons ago.  I may buy another one or I may simply sit this season out and concentrate on my surfing a little more.  It was time. These things are more work than simply getting on and riding. I want to do something else this summer.

3) I have many kinds of business deals in the works.  All of them are so damn time consuming it isn’t funny. This latest round is in the quiet period but if things go well I’m going to be even more busy and better for it. You will know directly. When I say huge, I mean huge for me and my family. I’m anxious to get going.

4) I just got hit with 2 notices that Two of my 5 tenants are moving in February. The good news? I’m showing one of the houses this week and will probably get an extra 45 bucks a month in rent. The bad news? The next house has been neglected by the tenant and she is NOT getting her deposit back. This means I am working on the property for a month until I can rent it again.  I imagine I’ll get an extra 20 or so bucks a month rent once it is fixed up.  Nothing says lovely like working on a house in freezing weather.

5) College tuition time!!! Hooray!!! Barf up the dough for Kelly and Barf up the dough for Nurse ratchet. Kelly has turned out to be a fantastic young lady. Mabel? Almost a doc. Summer after this one and she will officially be a Doctor of Nursing Practice.  Me? I’m still retarded…

6) I have been skiing and snow tubing once this season and I may go again. Our mountain house is quaint and the scenery is beautiful. I have designs of retiring up there. What? Oh hell no, the beach isn’t anywhere close….

7) True story. I’m so stressed out and anxious that my friends and family are secretly calling and checking up on me. I run, swim, workout and play guitar often when I get like this so you can only imagine I’m all over the place when I’m not working. I told my buddy at work if I have a heart attack to shut the door and simply let me go in peace….I was half kidding but the other half thought it to be pretty sound advice.

I’m not entirely wrapped up too tight. Any good juju passed this way would be greatly appreciated. I don’t know how I’ll ever pay you back other than to say I will help my fellow man if given the opportunity and resources to do so.

When I get home its a flip of the coin, I’m either running for an hour or swimming laps for an hour.

Then its back to work till 11pm…

Peace be with you,

Bobby
