Todays events

Today started as most others do. Get up, go through the morning routine and so on. I know work will be hectic today. My boss's new boss is coming in tomorrow so the place has to be spic and span. I left early the day before to do the baling so I had to catch up on all that work as well. I totally forgot that a vendor was coming into town from Chicago to meet with me and one of my customers. I sold an expanded metal job a few months ago to a contractor for a railroad job. So I was to talk with the vendor of the product and introduce him to the customer and go to the job site for some photos. Anyhow, he shows up and we go to the job site, we get the photos and all is well. We are about to sell this customer another 13 miles of this product. Hopefully anyhow. It should end up being a project well over the million dollar mark by the time we are done. I talked with him for quite some time and he gave me some very interesting news. Very exciting for me anyhow. We will see how it pans out. Could be a very, very good thing. I could use it right now, that's for sure.

Here's a funny one I just thought of. Yesterday while I was at a job site, my boss calls me, gets my answering machine and leaves me a message that basically says "hey, turn on your d@#m phone. When I get back to work, he starts giving me a hard time about it jokingly. I told him my phone was never off and to let me see the number he called. Funny thing was, he was calling my home phone. It was fun. Guess you had to be there.

Good news is this. Got the baler fixed today. Took it back to the field and it broke withing 50 feet of getting started. Nothing major this time though. I fixed it in the field in a matter of minutes and guess what. It worked very well after that and I actually got all 28 acres of it baled. It is now almost 11pm mind you, but it is done. Only 3 or 4 more acres to bale tomorrow and then I get to start on the hay here at home. What a great deal.

I haven't had the chance to eat this evening and it's late so it looks like I will just skip it. No big deal, I am really not hungry anyhow. Don't have much appetite lately. Too busy and too many things on my mind. I think I will sign off and go to bed.

I am not sure how much longer I will be posting. I haven't made up my mind yet. I have gotten some feedback, but I am wondering if I would do just as well sending an email to those of you interested. I plan to try and keep writing something every night as best I can. I am kind of enjoying it. Plus I may find it amusing to read at a later date. IF I ever start to get past the things that are occupying my mind, it would be nice to be able to look back and see what and how I was writing so I don't forget what caused these issues in the first place. Maybe if I had started this 6 or 8 months ago, I could have avoided a few things. Who knows, I don't. Anyway, if you have any thoughts about posts vs. email, let me know.

Last reminder. I still have a day or so left to get tickets to Worlds Of Fun/Oceans Of Fun for those who want them. I do need to know by Friday noon though.

Have a great evening and I hope you all rest well.

Good Night
