Damn near done!

Wow, whatta week. I started working O.T. and that means up at 3:15 every morning and work till 4pm. Today however I get to do something different. I get to work a side job (just for the day) and make some quick cash. (hopefully a lot) Actually this could possibly be the first step in opening my own Propane repair shop. I mentioned this to Callie years ago but we both seem to be a lil apprehensive about taking the leap. Since I've been back with the old shop I've made lotsa new contacts an have had lots of good responses for customers about some of my ideas. I just hope I can get this job done quickly. I think Callie doesn't like the idea of me not coming straight home on a Friday. But if things go well it'll come in handy. Bug weekend planned and the extra $$$ will be welcome. Oh well, time for coffee and then out the door.

P.S. Jessica and Dani, we pick the tiles for the pool next week. :D

Yay!!! Pool tiles! I can't wait, babe!

btw - I miss our time together in the mornings. I think you need to tell the work monster sometime after Labor Day that you can't come to work early one morning a week. Your wife needs to ravish you at least once a week when we're BOTH awake.

;-)

WAHOOOO!!!!!! Ravage me. PLEASEEEEE!!!!!!

Steph said...

LMAO.

Looks like I'm interrupting something.

Isn't this the second time I have?

Sorrrrry Lowk! Let me sneak out quietly and leave you two to it. ;)

P.S. Cool news about pool tiles, best of luck with that! And don't work yourself too hard - remember that your girls should always be #1! :)

Ooooh! Yay for picking the tiles! Also yay for the extra money. Gotta love extra money...

lowk said...

Stephie, don't be shy. Just grab a camera and record the kodak moment.

Dani, I'm merried. There is no extra money. WAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Chris said...

My days of picking bugs off my teeth and having my kidneys pounded are long over. I gave up long haul riding in New Orleans when a drunk opened her car door right in front of me. Watched the bike go airborne as I skidded down the road. Bike came down on top of my head. Helmet did save my skull. I pushed my rider off just before impact. He landed on his feet and was fine. So I gave up swallowing bugs and birds in the chest for awhile but never lost the desire to ride. My daughter got my bike and used it for spare parts for hers. She and her husband ride all the time. Only in July though because she lives in Mn and the rest of the year it is winter....

Callie said...

LOL Mystic. Love how you describe Mn. Tooo funny.

Sorry to hear about the crash. I'm always SO worried about Lowk getting hurt. Not because he's not a good rider (he is), but because people in cars just don't LOOK. I see people all the time, just changing lanes without looking, and it scares the crap out of me. I get even worse when he takes the babies for rides. I'm a bundle of nerves until they're back.

MYSTIC said...

My accident was minor. You live in a state where it is a wee bit more dangerous. When I had the kids with me, the wife worried also, even though I was always careful, always! The trick is to know that everyone out there is trying to kill you and drive accordingly. I never expected a parked car to reach out and touch me. I did become a firm believer in helmets after that....Mine worked I also drive in the left hand lane now, even on two lane streets. Didn't lose my love of riding, I just increased my fear of crashing. Nothing like a June Bug right in the kisser. And Mn only has two seasons, July and Winter. That is why they call them the FROZEN CHOSEN in church.

Not to worry mystic. If and when I bite it. Callie gets the housse paid off. It's a win/win situation for her.

MYSTIC said...

lowk, I hear you...but I'm sure that is not what she wants to hear. We all make light of it but we know that there are just a bunch of A..holes out there who never see you. We all just hope never to meet up with them. Besides Callie needs all your overtime to finish the pool or something...add on the price of gas and you need more overtime. I have convinced my wife that I need to get another bike because of the gas prices...She suggested one of those French scooters...I'd rather walk.

lowk said...

Hey, I settled for a honda after years of being a "Harley only rider". Ask your wife to meet you half way, and get a Decati.

MYSTIC said...

lowk, SHE WILL LET ME GET ANYTHING AS LONG AS IT IS CHEAP ON GAS. I MIGHT HAVE A HARD TIME EXPLAINING THE HARLEY. SHE IS THINKING SENSIBLE AND I AM THINKING "ROAD TRIP" WENT TO THE LOCAL DONUT SHOP THIS MORNING AND RAN INTO AN OLD FRIEND. HE HAD HIS SHOULDER IN A SLING. JUST WRECKED HIS HARLEY. RAN INTO THE REAR OF A PT CRUISER. TOTAL ONE HARLEY! ALL IN ALL HE DID WELL. I HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY AND VISIT ANOTHER FRIEND WHO JUST HAD A QUADRUPLE BY-PASS. SO I MIGHT POSTPHONE TEST DRIVING THE HARLEY BECAUSE ALL MY FRIENDS WILL BE WAITING FOR ME IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM....

Just as long as you don't join them. O.K??
