trips, doctors and doggies

Well today is the last day before the big trip to Ontario and Canada's Wonderland!

WooHoo!!

18 hours of driving!
one way!

anyways. but before we go there tomorrow morning I have to go see a new doctor, this one is a gastrologist or something like that. they are digestion and stuff doctors.
Its just an office interview, but its a start.

And lastly
Poochie is all better! well almost. her skin is clearing up, shes active again, too much so in fact. cuz shes suppose to take it easy for her back. and lastly the doc says she has a severe Hyper Thyroid problem. not too bad, just needs pills. vet says she may even lose weight because of it. and get more active.. scarily.

but things are good, and its only one month from my hostile takeover.
Heeheeheee. yes, Excellent.

Lifted, Rockered, Rusted

Well the Poochie is feeling better after a really bad spell, she was very sick acting but it may have been partly a bacterial infection as well as her back let go again. Vet says her back is getting bad, so no more stairs, no more than needed anyways. basically just the 2 on the way outside now.

Back to less important news.
Jeep is Lifted! 2.25 inches taller, thanks to a lovely easy spacer lift. Also with the lift I got some spiffy Skyjacker Shocks to put on. also 2.5 inches longer.
Not really noticable but it is.
Jeep is Armored! Yup the Rocker Guards are on now. Kick Butt! Although whoever designed them had guarding in mind, and not actually attaching them to the Jeep.. 2 bolts can't have nuts cuz one is too close to the frame, the other, only gives me a 1/16" space to get my fingers in. haha.
But everything is on, tight and working right. Awsome! Can't wait to try in out at the end of august in the Saint John Run.
The only thing left to do to the jeep this summer is the disconnects need to be fixed so they aren't as loose as they are now. Got the stuff somewhere to fix it. Just gotta get around to it. haha.

As for me, still all the same problems, had a bad spell last night, still gurgley today. Have an appointment on August 2 to a gastronologist. well its an office visit but its a start.
tata for now. hopefully I can update more often. been a little slack lately.

well a week later and its rusting again

Well it didn't quite make it a week, there must be a little corner of the steel showing through or something, cuz one of the edges of the fill is rusting. dammit.



Oh well more sanding and more painting.. sigh.



Got the Rocker guards, have to paint them now. then prepare to drill holes, prime and paint them on the jeep and then install the gasket, and then install the rockers. Fun never stops. If I can find the time.. haha. Ricki is working a couple days this week so I should be able to manage to get something done. :P

The fender is all painted!!

Not too shabby for my first fill.



Its all painted.. I am gonna give it a second coat in a couple days, but its all done.



Check the pictures link in the last post for all the pics.



Weeee!!



Oh and last weekend I went and saw my grampy, Took Ricki to Digby and showed her around there, all the sites, and some locations of memories I told her about. some good some bad. and I also brought home my grampy's canoe. He gave it to me. its a lovely canoe, and its almost exactly the same length as the jeep.. haha.



FUN!

Second day of repair

Well put the final layer of filler on the fender today and then two more touch ups after sanding.. lots and lots and lots of sanding.



But its nice and smooth and level and I think it looks pretty good.



I put the first layer of primer on so far and hopefully if the weather holds I will put on a second layer of primer tomorrow.



Then after the trip to my Grandfathers this weekend, I will put the nice and pretty chili pepper red paint coat on and hopefully it will match up nice.



It will likely still look a bit like a patch of color.. but shouldn't look like the hole I cut out.. haha.



Here is some pictures

Rusty Fender flare

Well My Jeeps fender is finally getting its cancer fixed.



I cut the infected area off, and cleaned out as much as I could underneath. then put primer on. the next day I filled it with bondo body fill. had to get as much done as I could before the rain.



Now.. when the weather turns nice again I will put a third and final layer of body fill on and then start the sanding process, then when thats done its prime and paint again. should look almost as good as new





Hopefully. haha

Racoons are wacky

Went camping this weekend in Kouchibouquac National Park. Lots of fun. the racoons at night go through everything, so if your a dumb camper and leave anything out, its theirs for the taking. we fortuneately are smart campers and did not leave anything for them. Not even garbage.



Then me and Ricki drove back along the water, and stopped near shediac for some mussels, we had all the camping gear so we just bought them, threw a pot on the coleman and cooked them up at a rest stop. It was fun and entertaining.



Now I is tired and bed is screaming my name.. goodnight

Day 7, and she was right.. Weird.

Well like two posts ago said about Heather's treatment, today was day 7 of the 2 weeks of spin training.. errrr, polarity switching. This is the day Heather said my spinning would stop altogether, and start going in the right direction again. I was spinning the wrong way inside. She warned me that on day 7 I may feel a bit ill and to maybe make the day an easy on.. I will admit, I was a little skeptical. but sure enough, I woke up today feeling under the weather, even had a sore throat, this has lasted most of the day, and I am suppose to start feeling better from here on in.



Hopefully my disposition will get better today, cuz I was in a very grouchie mood today. Everything was getting on my nerves but I did my best to control it once I realised I was in such a bad mood.



Anyways, interesting stuff. Bah!!



HAHA!!

Not much to say

you heard it here first, not much to say.



Ricki is feeling better, well a little anyways, shes been under the weather, had a couple days off work.



I have been taken off my metforman in hopes that it will stop the diarea, lets hope. Of course if it works we won't know if it was that or heathers treatment.. but really i don't care who fixed it, as long as it gets fixed.  Maybe both needed fixing .. haha.



Soaking my feet at the moment in epson salts.  part of heathers treatment. *shrug* it suppose to help bring out toxins and stuff like that.



Designed my future Entertainment center cabinet.  its pretty. haha. but I need a house to put it in first. haha.



thats it. later

Got my pretty new shocks

thats right, new shocks, 4 of them for the jeep, 2.5 inches over stock to prepare for the new 2" lift coming up next month. (Hopefully)



first step bigger, just a little bump but its cheap.



Jeep needed the new shocks anyways, mine have over 160,000 kms on them and they are suppose to be changed around every 80,000. So I am double overdue. Not that I have had any problems that I know of from the ones I got. but they are likely wearing out and not doing there job well. I think they are the reason for one of the clunks.



The Rockers should be finished within a couple weeks, and then I can prepare the jeep for those, once I have them and know more, I will start the preparation for them on the jeep, which involves removing some rust, drilling holes, priming or just tremclading them, and then letting it dry, sanding, then adding a second coat, then letting that dry, (thats important cuz I am bad at waiting for it to dry completely) then applying the rubber gasket for the rocker, then during all this I will have to put 2 - 4 layers of paint on the rocker, gonna look for something extremely durable. then its just a matter of putting it on tightening the bolts and boom, its done.



Fun stuff!! lift and armor



BOOYAAAHH!!

test 2 and 3 done.

Ok the Barium follow through went well. much better than the other, comfort wise. The barium drink was gross, but not terrible, just terrible in the two big glasses they wanted me to drink of it. then it was a lot of waiting and xrays every ten minutes.



then the doc saw me and had more xrays, but this time with a mechanical thing that pushed into my gut to take them. Said it was to move my intestines around to get more pics. it was weird, but no problem.



as for test 3 that was our friend Heather, shes into old Japanese or chinese medicines, so its sorta a alternative medicine thing.. we will see how it goes, she found out my body is spinning the wrong way (aka my polarity is off) so I was giving drops with essence of misletoe in it, but just the essence, not any actual poison. :) interesting stuff, she also showed me my personal energy space.. which was neat too.



that test showed alot, and the drops will take 2 weeks to hopefully switch my polarities and get me working right. then we can see what else my body can fix of itself.



Jeep Run over the weekend was awsome, very very fun, nice and easy, relaxing run. We washed and cleaned the jeep Monday and got the street tires back on. It was just a blast with very little chance of damage. and I didn't have any.



Well thats it for today.

TEST #2

Well I got the other end done a few weeks ago, now they are gonna check the other end, this time I will get to drink a nasty chalky drink and check my upper digestive track.. should be fun.  that will be at 7:25 Monday morning. I'll try and write later to let you know how it went.



Heather gave me a possitive outlook on my problem, in the form of a possible solution, so I have an appointment with her on Tuesday, to see if I am spinning the wrong way.. I will try to let you know how that goes as well.



Besides that not much new to update.. chuggin along with my hopes and dreams.



Survivor ended tonight.. Earl Won.  Yau-Man would have won but stupid dreams is a liar, bugger.  So close, but on a possitive note, Earl was the one Ricki picked to win, and had we been on a survivor pool.. she would have won money.. would have, if we were in a pool.. too bad, as it is, she did win a toberlone bar from me.. haha.



Wish me luck.

Very Tiring Weekend

Wow.. what a weekend.. ugh.



Friday Ricki had youthgroup as usual, but this weekend, they were doing there Rockathon. Basically it is the kids i the youthgroups fundraising activity to support there end of year fun day. Although they didn't raise enough money, and only 5 kids showed up, the rockathon was still on. What is the rockathon, well the kids take rocking chairs and rock all night. well that means that Ricki had to supervise them all night, and Katie too. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal. But Katie had to do two things Saturday, first early in the morning she had her graduation, and second she had to drive 4 hours up north. crappy for her. so we let her sleep as much as she could at the rockathon. I was there because they needed one male supervisor for an all nighter.

So it went well, but we were really tired and feeling yucky in the morning, me and Ricki only got short snoozes, and really didn't sleep much.

Then it was off to the Graduation. It was a small graduation, but some presenters tried to make it as long as they could. One teacher went on and on and on. this was torture to me and Ricki who could barely stay awake during the more upbeat people. But then James came up, there valedictorian for that year. My god, if that boy doesn't survive as a teacher, he sure as hell can make it as a comedian. He was awsome and saved that graduation from boredom hell.

After him was another lively teacher, which kept the happy going and made us all survive to the end.

Then it was off to Katies for a feast of graphic preportions only an army could handle. But we tried our best to help out. see Katie originally had planned a Supper, with lots more friends and family, but due to the fact she had to unexpectantly head up 4 hours up north, she had to make it a lunch and not many people could make it then. but all the food was made anyways.. haha. after that stuffing, me and Ricki headed back to her place to catch up on some ZZzzz's.

We woke up around 6 or 7pm. We had planned to go to YukYuks that night and its a good thing we did, it was very fun, we laughed good and hard. Had we done anything else we likely would have fallen asleep. Then Ricki had to head home and get to bed, cuz today is her 16 hour day at work. so the weekend was even nastier for her.





An update on her car problems, seems PC financial doesn't know there head from there butt when it comes to loans so she got it through TOYOTA.

Now she has a shiny new car that she loves, although it surprises her everyday still, that its hers. haha

another good day

Well I feel better lately, I know thats just what murphy is waiting to hear so he can kick my butt again. but I have been having a really good week. *crosses fingers, knock on wood and all that* I know I am not better yet, but I have been good.



Ricki is having a little trouble trying to get a new car.  I'll just leave it at that, we think its all worked out now. Will know more tomorrow or by the end of the week for sure.



Jeep is all lined up for some new knees and a bit of a leg stretch.. hee hee. so some fresh and much needed skyjackers all around and 2" 's of extra air should do the trick for now. Also the jeep is getting some Bulletproofing done to it, Finally the Rockers will be completed, had to buy what was done from the original guy working on them and take them to the new guy working on them and give him the rest of the saved money for the rockers. (It only took a year or more to get to this point due to the guy having lots and lots of life problems and not having time to work on them. Appearantly his family is more important than my rockers.. sheesh.. ;P) Everything will not only be good, but better.. hee hee.  Lets just say that if your a rock and you wanna hurt my rockers, you better be falling on them from above.. MWAHAhahahahahahahahahaaha!!!  Should be fun, hopefully I feel better this summer so I can get out and test all my new stuff some.



Oh well, thats it for now I guess.

The big Stephie and Jay Moving Day

Ok What did we all learn from Jay and Stephie, mostly Jay, PACK YOUR STUFF IN BOXES AND HAVE IT READY FOR THE MOVING TRUCK!



Ok well we filled a 17' UHAUL Truck with just Jays stuff, and then another one for stephies Apartment, mind you stephie was much more prepared, and things went a little smoother, but still, Jay still has half a room of stuff to bring.. but they will have to figure that out, especially the 8 million pound entertainment center.



Hopefully me and ricki's Move this summer will go smoother, one thing for sure, we are gonna have everything packed and ready for moving day.. none of this craziness again.



I am sore and tired.. so now I am going to bed. Good night all.

bad evening

well just before supper yesturday after the test I felt bad, and had a very very bad case of the runs, Went really pale and was considering going to the hospital again.



after some gatorade I began to feel better, but today I am on and off again feeling wise, I haven't been bad, but I don't feel comfortable either. this sickness sucks, whatever it is.



Checked the net, and some other people have what is called Sulphur Burps and often with the runs, but theres are very infrequent.  like every couple months.

The only success on there for dealing with it, was one guy had a Acid Reflux surgery done and hasn't had problems since, and that was over a year ago.



I would so do that if I was guaranteed it would help.. sigh.

OH MY!! I feel violated

Well what can I say, its done, it felt really weird, and not the best experience of my life.  A Barium Enema is nothing to fear, but its nothing to look forward too either.



But its over, and hopefully someday they will tell me how it went and how I am.. I got to watch it on the tv screen as it filled me up, showing off my lower intestine on an xray. Wow, I saw my hip bones, I would love to play with that for an afternoon and check out all my bones.. haha. it was neato. unfortuneately I couldn't enjoy it, because a tube was going up my butt and filling me with Barium. Didn't hurt but it wasn't comfy either.



Did my taxes today, should get 359 bucks back WOOHOO!! 



Besides that and eating way too much today to make up for a day and a half of no food. My insides are hating me again.. Oh well, back to normal.



SNAFU!!

In the process

Ok, liquid diets suck, I have been drinking water and other all day, now mind you I am not hungry, how could I my stomach is full of liquid. water water water, then for supper, onion soup, minus the onion flakes strained out, which at least was tastey, then a glass of apple juice.. MMMmmm sugar. then Jello!!! Weee!



More liquid water water water, then 8 oclock came and I got to drink the liquid Laxative. Which I don't have to tell anyone is a really fun time. yay.



So tomorrow bright and early I have to get up at the crack of 6 and take my "BIG PILL" and then go to the hospital for the rest of the test at 7:35.



So after this is all done and finished tomorrow at some point. I will try to remember to post to let everyone who reads this (steve you still out there?) know how it went.



Wish me luck.

Ok, and it ends tomorrow.. well this test anyways.



Not sure how entertaining this will be but I will give another update tomorrow after its all done. but today I start the preparation process for the test tomorrow. Ugh.



Well here we go! Dive right in!



Me and Ricki drove by the house yesturday that we want, and someone else was looking at it!! Buggers! Go Away! Thats My HOUSE!!! >:(



Oh well best I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Wish us luck.

wow, busy day

well finished the paper, the luminary, then went to home depot, to window shop... its a long story.. then I went to the creek with Ricki, then watched tv, watched house, and a couple of other shows. Blah. quiet night.



couple days ago, got a call from my doc, about a test they are gonna do on me for my stomache.  doesn't sound fun. Lets just say... its gonna be a very memorable experience. and I really don't wanna do it. but to figure out whats going on inside me I am willing.. but I still don't wanna.



Oh well. Wish me luck, the diet part of it starts on Monday, and I go very 7:35am bright and early Tuesday morning. 6:00am will be the most interesting part. Those who know what I am talking about, understand.



anyways. felling kinda lathargic.. bah. We will see how the next few days go. I'm in charge of things this week for getting the paper out. should be fun.

Well after a few months, there back, the parents have returned to there canada home from there wintery Florida. After selling the home down there they had lots of extra stuff to bring back this year. full fan, and today we unloaded the monster. Lots of stuff, will be an extra full house till I manage to get out and they can spread there wings a little.



Ricki has basically had to move out, shes been pretty much living here the last couple of months, so this really sucked for her, shes moved back in her parents house. haha. we will survive. just encourages our future.



Cabin fever will hit worse day after day now. Which really sucks cuz I was trying to conserve a little fuel.. oh well. Can only take so much.. haha.

Off to the Hospital for a few hours tonight. Weeee!

Had a fun night tonight. spent 4pm-12 in the hospital



Well I have had really bad diarrea all weekend, and I was starting to get dehydrated. for a second time, and I wasn't getting any better. from last thursday till today, it was bad, very bad on friday and today. I figured it was time to get it checked. they took me right in, and they put two full bags of fluid in me and then I had x-rays, stool samples, bloodwork. and finally got it all done then the waiting for the results. the good news. its not crones or any deseases. what it is, not sure though. the stool culture will take a few days and maybe they can find an easy to cure infection.  hopefully. that doc doesn't think its Irritable bowl because of how much I get.  and how bad. so who knows. months and months of infection. lots of gas and bad stuff like that. but besides that the xrays looked good and the blood work ruled out very bad things.  but I am still not feeling good and It will be a few days before they can put a finger on infection.



Funny thing.. this doctor told me to do the exact opposite as the other one.. coincidence??  this one told me that when its "bad" to eat things that would make a person constipated.. and no fibre.. hahahhaha.. when its bad. and she said Imodium is fine to take as long as I don't exceed the max daily.



So things have calmed down a little now. late at night. and if its not better in the morning. I may have to call david and tell him to do everything himself.



but as of now. things are a little better. Fun night in the hospital. and threats of a future colonoposky. real fun!



Anyways.. exhausted and drained. odd seeing as two full bags of drip fluid has been put into me tonight. but true.

til next time.





Powered by ScribeFire.

Good Morning everyone!!! haha

Ok its really just late at night but its technically morning.



So far this week has been way to easy.. Oh ya, I should start... whats that.. Oh ya.. Cleaning.. haha.. mom and dad will be home around thursday or friday leaving me little time to put the spit shine on things. Oh well me and ricki got most of it done before my brother and friends arrived this weekend.  Now we just have to tidy a bit.



Well I found out my brother (HI STEVE!) is reading my blog now.. so if he ever asks "Whats new with you?" again I think I am legally allowed to slap him.. haha. He is also facebooking so he even gets the occasional new picture of my friends and i.



Oh and Facebook.. what a wonderful world that is.

So far I have found Jodi, Erica and Amanda from the old crew in Riverview. But I also have found some friends I have been trying to find. My old buddies from Digby. Dylan, Jon, and Trevor.. Unfortuneately Trevor is still missing but I messaged the other guys and we will see if they know where he is.. Jon is friggin in  England!!! Holy Crap Jon!  And Dylan thankfully is in Halifax so I could actually easily go visit him.



I wonder how famous Facebook will become.. I wonder if you can buy stock in them.. haha. I also wonder how many friends have been reconnected from lost friends..  I'm up to 6 already.



FUN!!

Well yesturday was hell. I mean Hell. I was so dehydrated from it that I could barely walk. Hopefully today is much better. I woke up feeling better, still a few gurgles in the tummy though. Not a good sign. But so far I feel much better than yesturday.



Didn't leave the house yesturday either, by noon I am gonna have some serious cabin fever. especially if its as nice out today as I think its gonna be.



Got most of the house cleaned and primed for our visitors today, but they won't be around much, just there animals. Daisy and Misty, a big black lab and a collie mix, respectfully.



My poor little weener dog will be running her little legs off with these two.

Bad Friday

I am not feeling well today.. tummy is all messed up, and wants to vacate everything in it in both directions.. couldn't even go to my EI appointment today, had to call and tell them.. no problem they said. I asked what it was about and they just said that it was to see if I had any progress on job hunting and to let me know of the services they provide.



I thought great, I could have asked about there Self Employment help. Oh well. find out later, will just go in and see them on my own about that. I guess if I am still on EI in a month they will send me another appointment. FUN!!



AH Oh.. gotta go back to the captains chair for a bit....  Ugh.

Jeeps in one piece again...but.....

Well its in one piece again, but the first time I tried the chair, it failed and the wire ripped free.. so back to square one.. crap.



Saw the doc today and she said I have been doing very well with my diebeties.  My numbers are way down.  Woo hoo.. the sugars alone went from 12.8 to 7.1  woohoo.. my triglycerides was the best though.. it went from 2.89 to 0.69!!  DAMN!

Jeeps in Pieces, well sorta

Well two days ago I took apart my front passanger seat, had to take it right out of the vehicle. a cable had broken for the tumble part, and it wouldn't tumble anymore, making it very difficult for my 2nd and 3rd friend to get in.. haha. 



  After much searching and fiddling I realized the seat had to come out, so I checked my service manual to make sure of no surprises, and then took off the 4 bolts.. out it came.. then I started tearing it apart to find where this illusive cable was hiding and where it went and where it ended up.. very frustrating, my thoughts go out to all those poor buggers who reapulster cars and boats seats.. you have tough work.. so I finally figure it out, and pull out my new wire to fit into it, the new wire was a little softer, bendy wise, so i'd get so far and it wouldn't want to go any farther.. stupid thing.. so after a very very very long battle I stuck a wire in the other way, to see how far it needed to go, and cut the tube there, hahaha...  finding the wire I pulled it through and then pushed it the rest of the way through the line and taped it back up.. then while moving the chair the wire slipped back up inside... ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!



So off cames the tape and pulled it through again and then tape it back up.. this is my hell..   anyways.  after figuring out where the wire goes, and realising I didn't need to take off half the stuff I did on the chair, I reassemble the chair and finish by putting ends on the wire to hold it in place.. first one, was bad, second one went on good and worked.. then comes the other end.. like most cables of this nature, it has to be rather tight..  so you can guess I had a few tries at this too!!!!!!   GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!    anyways.. its on, its tight, and it works.. now the weather sucks..  When I finally finished the chair I couldn't put it back in, it was 12 midnight, and the neighbours, in my "Could touch both houses at the same time" neighbourhood, probably wouldn't like me playing with air tools at that time of night so I decided to lay off till the next day..  Now its bitterly cold and very windy.. and still is.. dammit. 

I do have a garage.. but like most garages in this type of neighborhood, its useless.  you can fit your car in or stuff in, not both. we have a thin line of stuff up both side and we can just slide the cars in and one person can get out.. get the picture.. not a garage you can do anything with a car in.. except store. Hopefully it warms up a bit this afternoon and I can get a bit done.. but can't forget I have a doctors appointment at 3pm.. cant forget!!



Passanger seat is still in garage.. can't forget that too.. haha



On a happy note.. my friends have absolutely no problems getting in the back seat at the moment.   hahahaha   :D

I'm a FREAK!

or so my eye specialist thinks. haha.



I went to see me eye specialist for my diabeties, he says things look ok, but found a couple things to keep an eye on.

    Why am I a freak, you ask?  Well he says my eyes are slightly abnormal.. that little round spot in the back of your eye is suppose to be about 1/10th the size of the back of your eye.  Mine is 1/8 or 1/7th the size.  Now normally this is a sign of a stigmatism <sp> but not for me due to the fact my eyes don't have too much pressure, in fact he says my eyes very good pressure.. so I am a freak.. he says I was lightly born like that.  hahaha.  I'M A FREAK!!!



just kidding.. I've always known I was different.. haha.

Auto Mess

Well we tried to go and get her Jeep Compass today.. Trying to aim at $300 a month with a $5000 down payment..



We worked it out online and it was suppose to be close and then we could possibly wheel and deal and hopefully get a couple bucks off a month..



Didn't go that way.. not even close.  turns out there online monthly calculator forgets to add in little numbers like  "TAX!!!".  Opps.. well thats a $3500 booboo on there part.. which took our payments from around $300 dollars a month to $390 a month.. not doable.. and there is nothing he would even budge on to bring it down.. the price, the interest, the extras, nothing.. so we left with the new numbers and decided to go think it through.



Heres what we came up with.. We figured out a way to get the new car at $300 dollars a month.. we can either find another $5000 dollars for the down payment and make the total downpayment $10,000   or... we can take the other route.. a Toyota Carolla.



So we are going with the Corolla now.  they can get it pretty close to $300 a month.. Maybe $325 with an amazing warranty. 7 year comprehensive for $1899...



So we will see when we go talk to the dealer about that.. they have lots on the lot to play with too.. haha.



So thats todays update.. have a good one.

Another weekend gone

Well another one gone.. Started the big house clean today.. see my parents go south every year, to escape the cold, and then they come back and I have to clean this house top to bottom to hide my same of laziness.. haha.



Ricki got the bathroom upstairs done, I got the backyard cleaned up from a winter of doggy.  so were well on our way, 2 things down.. 2000000000 more to go.. haha.



Bah!



Rods mind got messed with some more today.. Our friend Krista kinda wants to persue him.. So we tease him a little all of us (Ok, mostly me and krista.. haha) He reacts funny.. shaking his head, rolling his eyes.. its funny.. they have a weird chemistry.. we'll see how it goes. I will give updates later on.



Other things.. I suppose I should tell about before they develop.. I am trying to buy a company.. when its mine I will tell you all about it.. right now I will just say that its an established company and makes money.. the owner wants out cuz hes getting of age and was retired and only doing it as a hobby.  Now he wants to go farther in his shriner's group.. so he needs more time so he offered it to me.. we will see how it comes about..



My girlfriend Ricki, Wants to get a new car.. tomorrow we are going to try and buy a Jeep Compass 07.. in Jeep Green.. Hopefully we can get it for a good price.  we will see.



Hopefully this summer as well, me and Ricki will be getting a house.. Once I get this company under my name. its a crazy house.. again.. for now thats all you will get.. we don't need other people putting offers on our house.. haha.. its gotta stay on the market a few months.. haha.



thats all the big stuff for now.  Wish Us luck.. we will need it.
