Ramble

Things have slowed down just a bit. It's nice in one regard...but I'd rather have the stress of a project. I had another table ready to go...but after I got started the buyer backed out until later on in the year. Not much I can do. It did teach me a valuable lesson. I will be requiring a minimum of 1/3 down for future projects. I trust too much...the yin and yang of personal qualities I guess. I can't stick my neck out there anymore...especially to the unknown individual.

Have you ever had the end of your index finger removed? Don't try it. It hurts. Quite bad actually. Makes framing houses in the frigid January temperatures and wind a bit difficult. Another question...tied into the same subject. Ever have problems dropping a few pounds. Frame. Plain and simple. It's a wonderful diet. Physical work all day long, freezing temps burn enormous calories just trying to keep warm, and rarely time to eat can have you fitting back into those work pants you've been spooked to try on for the last half year. I found a quarter in the pocket of a pair. There was no way I could have slid my hand into that pocket six months ago.

I'm looking for marketing ideas. Things have been good and ramping up but I'm looking for more intensity. I'm also looking for stumps and root masses. All difficult ordeals. If you have any credible Intel or ideas I'm always willing to listen. It's all towards the goal of self sufficiency. It's all towards not being tied to the man or his two weeks. Come join my revolution of the mass exodus we know as the rat race and slow it down. I have a good friend that did just that. I commend him and am joyous over his decision. It's a valiant pursuit.
