My Blog is the Internet's Version of My Diary
If I didn’t have to work full-time as well as having to take care of the house and the family I would consider starting a pet blog. I have seen many pet blogs that are so cool and interesting to read. Considering all the critters that we have here at the house there would be a lot of things to write about it. We have always had pets around here. I can’t image life without our best friends to share it with us.
Hubby has been talking about buying a motorcycle for the past several years, the subject comes up right about this time of year, each and every year. With spring approaching in what will be in no time, the itch for going for a ride and enjoying life on the open road is so very tempting for the both of us.
I wouldn’t mind owning one one bit as long as it was a Harley Davidson and of course that is what is has in mind, not a new one mind you, but one that has low mileage and a low monthly payment would be nice. With the thought in mind that we should be getting a decent tax refund this year, we have been tossing around the idea of actually purchasing a Harley D.
Hubby has been surfing the net, looking to see what deals are out there and I have to tell you that there are some very tempting deals being offered. It seems that people are getting desperate for cash and motorcycles are being sold in an effort to pay the bills and the asking prices are very sweet indeed.
He has shown me a few of the ones that have caught his eye, there isn’t a shortage of bikes and bike parts for sale in this part of the state that we just may have to start checking out a bit more serious like in the near future.
Before Mom & Dad retired and moved to Florida, they had run a successful shipping business for years and from time to time I would work for them when needed, so I had an opportunity to learn a bit about the packaging and shipping business.
While surfing the Internet I somehow got linked up to a website for the company Logistics Group International and it sparked my interest. It specializes in heavy haul transportation, Van, flatbed, stepdeck, double drop, removable gooseneck and specialized heavy haul trucking, they offer their services in Mexico which is why it caught my attention I guess. When I worked for the folks there seemed to be an issue at times with getting things to Mexico, what with customs and all. This Mexico freight company seems to be the answer the that old dilemma.
It is a pretty cool site, nicely set up, with a nice Power Point to download that shows you a lot of interesting things. I’ll have to mention it to Mom & Dad next time we chat.
You would think that by now I would have learned to make sure that all the windows in all of the vehicles are rolled up at night whether or not the weather man has the word “rain” anywhere near to coming out of his mouth. I got to get a good amount of outside chores taken care of today and it about killed me by the time I finished getting things done and finished putting everything up and away.
As much as I was tired out, I was still in a good enough mood not to worry about the window situation. And knowing that the weather man didn’t say so much as a word about rain, I just got myself inside to a big, iced cold, glass of iced tea, a warm shower when I heard a huge rolling thunder headed our way and the car and truck windows were the last thing on my mind. Too bad that first thing this morning I sat down into a wet and mushy car seat. I do believe I don’t have to say anything else, am I right?
One of the people who come to mind instantly when you say anything about country music or the Grand Old Opry is Marty Stuart. He has been a performer for over 40 years – it wouldn’t take long to look up and find out, but I don’t see the need to at this point. I think you get my drift.
I remember reading that he left home at a very young age to come to Nashville and play guitar. He looks great and I love the suit he is wearing in this photo! He seems to have a variety of electric and acoustic guitars, like a epiphone pro-1 ultra that he has been seen performing with. Not like Willie Nelson who only plays his one and only acoustic guitar who he has called Trigger since he got it back in 1969, if my memory serves me correctly. Trigger seems to have an interesting story behind it. If you are into Willie Nelson at all – it is an entertaining story that can be found all over the Internet. I use Wikipedia a lot even though I have been warned time and time again about trusting what you read there. But honestly I don’t trust anything 100% of what I read or hear anyway.
The first time I heard this on the radio I knew that it was going to be a hit! It’s been out for several months now and I still get excited when I hear it played. How anyone can listen to this and not want to get up and dance, I’ll never know!
Our long time buddy, who is currently living in Southern California, ended up recently with a DUI, which I spoke of in a previous posting, and is now considering leaving the wild and crazy California way of life.
The phone rang late the other evening, it seems our buddy still does not comprehend the time differences in the time zones, we never know when we will get a call from him, this call he was extremely excited and wanted to share his latest news with us. After his court dates are all tended to he wants to relocate again, this time he is thinking of somewhere on the East coast for a change, and possibly someplace kinda close to us.
How exciting, this is a man who has known Hubby and I for a very long time (since before the kids came along) and has always brightened up our lives with his charm and good humor. It has been years since we have laid eyes on him and our youngest has never had the pleasure of meeting him, yet, but it seems now that there may be a chance.
My sister and her family have just recently moved and I remember she was always telling me of a web site that she used and had found extremely helpful in making a variety of decisions during that really stressful time, so I referred our buddy to it in hopes that he will find it as useful to him as well. I mean you gotta love a site that basically lets you key in a few basic facts and then Bam there it is, all the necessary information that you will need in order to assist you with such a large financial transaction such like this.
I really would like to see him in a house rather than an apartment, maybe a townhouse would be order, yard work isn’t something that is on the top of his list of priorities, but he is always so cramped in an apartment.
This time, this move will definitely require the services of a long distance moving company, a relocation professional, the days are gone of just packing up the car with your junk and cruising on down the highway. This company even offers assistance in getting your car to you with Auto transport companies and car shipper companies that have state of the art carriers that ship your vehicle, safely and quickly.
I like the way this site offers numerous guides on important issues that provide you with all the necessary information to help get you through the tasks of the relocation process.
The official director’s cut for the 4 time Grammy nominated hit “Chandelier” directed by Sia and Daniel Askill, featuring Maddie Ziegler. I wish I could hit this note and carry it as well as she does. A girl can dream can’t she!
Hard to believe that Denon has been around since the 1970’s, but they have been. I was looking online and was reviewing some of their fascinating audio electronics and was glad to see that dennon is still around and still growing strong since they merged with Marantz back in 2002. Back when D.J.’s started replacing live bands at dances and other celebrations that we were so used to having “back in the day”.
I’ve used Internet Explorer for my internet browser ever since it was first invented. I have faithfully upgraded every time it told me to, including last night when I got a message to install the IE-9. So I did that and now my blog doesn’t work. The screen freezes up and I can’t type anything.
So I had to switch over to Firefox and try using that browser. At least it is free and it seems to be working with my blog. I guess this old dog just needs to learn a few more new tricks and learn how to use another browser now.
