Happy 4th of July!!

Well, another year has rolled around and in a few days it will be time again to celebrate the 4th of July. This has always been one of my favorite holidays as I love to see the fireworks go off and explode in the sky! It’s also a great day to cookout and spend time with the family.

This year we plan to go watch the big fireworks display given at a local park. My only worry is that traffic will be bad and parking is always a problem. I hope we can find a good spot not to far away from the park. Anyway, I am sure we will have a good time as usual. I hope everyone else has a great time as well and remember to be safe!

The House, Our Home

The wife and I have been working to fix up the old homestead. We have had a wonderful time working together on various projects around the house. This year, we have concentrated a lot of our effort on the outside of the house including getting our lawn and gardens into shape. We think that the outside of the house is just as important as the inside. We have worked hard to find ways to improve the view of the house from the street.

One thing we are really happy about is the addition of an address plaque. We put the plague by the street and surrounded it with plants. We also added some rocks and figurines around it. It looks great and makes it easy to find our house. We didn’t know about home address plaques before, but now that we do, we are glad to have found one that fits our style.

One of our neighbors commented on the plaque and asked for more information about it. I told him to get on the internet and type in address plaques and he would find a place to get one for himself. I am sure that over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be seeing one in front of his house as well. While I am sure that our house will never be perfect, I am glad that we made this one fine addition.

You’re Choice

One of my favorite things to do is to keep track of all the cars that are available. I love cars and trucks and like to keep tabs on the best ones. I have been doing some research into this area and have a few cars and trucks I’d like to mention. The first one is the cadillac escalade hybrid. This is a beautiful car that has a lot to offer. Not only is the gas mileage great, but it is a well built hybrid. Anyone who has concerns about the environment would be well satisfied with this vehicle. I like its looks and I know that the cadillac quality is contained therein.

The next vehicle that I would like to mention is one of my old favorites. It’s the hummer h3t and the new model is coming out this year. While in many ways it is steeped with the same old qualities we have come to expect, there are some new changes. This year’s model will have the capability to run on an up to 85 percent blend of ethanol. They also have some new color schemes to please the eye. All in all, it’s the same old standard but with a few improvements.

Whenever I want to have a nice vehicle for getting some work done, I turn to the gmc canyon. With its v8 power, it has all the pulling power I need to carry the loads I have. It is fairly fuel efficient and comes with many standard options. It is also one of the safest vehicles on the road as it has received the five-star crash tests scores. It is a likeable little truck that will grow on you over time.

The last thing I want to say is that all of these vehicles are very nice. You just have to determine what your needs are going to be. You can always go online in order to find out more info when necessary. Whatever one you choose, I am confident you will come away feeling good about your choice.

Newlyweds

The good news is that my daughter was recently married. The bad news is that she will be leaving town with her new husband. The newlywed couple is moving to Connecticut and they will be starting a new life together there. We will all miss seeing them on a regular basis, but it’s what they want to do. We thought we would try to make the transition as smooth as possible.

I always say that being protected is a good thing. That’s why I wanted to ensure they had adequate Connecticut home insurance. I started by looking on the internet for a reliable company to provide them with it. I found a company named Paradiso that had the insurance coverage we wanted. I liked the way the site was set up as it was affordable and easy to access. I felt good knowing I could help.

Since I was on the site and things were looking good, I decided to check out the other insurance options they had. I checked out their Connecticut auto insurance as well as the Connecticut annuities they had available. Things are looking up for them and I am satisfied that they will be protected from financial disaster. It can be hard to be a dad, but good companies like this make life so much easier.

Passed

I was nervous over nothing, I stayed up most of the night studying and passed the test to get my CDL permit, I am now legally able to drive with a trainer on the highway. I am so ready to get out there and go get it. We are training in backing right now and I’m not so good at that I always worry about the trailer sticking out to far or backing into something or someone.

The biggst thing on the road

I love driving something bigger then anything on the road! I had a couple of problems in the beginning but once I got the hang of it I just wanted to keep going in fact I almost missed my exit in my excitement. I did the best on the simulator even though half the people in my class have more experience than me. I can’t wait to get back in the truck but for now we are doing book work to prepare us for the written part of the test. I am nervous about that I was never very good at tests, I guess that’s why I finally quit school. I can’t wait to get out there and see all of the places I’ve always wanted to visit.

Training School

I start my training school tommarrow and I am nervous. I have never drove anything bigger then a F150 and the only manual I have drove is a little Eclipse. I know it will take some getting use to especially when training is over and I will be on the road more than I am at home. I know my apartment is small but from what I hear the cab is about the size of a closet and when I am training it will be two of us in there talk about cramped. I at least don’t think I will have to worry about the physical exam because of all the workouts I have been doing every day because of my wrestling training.

Job opportunity

I have decided that after quitting school and being lazy enjoying the holidays these last couple of weeks I need to grow up and get serious about getting a job. I have always wanted to see the United States and I’m still young so I am thinking about learning to drive a truck.I have been looking into this and I think I can do it. I have to take a training course and pass the DOT exam to get my CDL and then I’m on my way. Can’t wait for this new chapter to begin I just hope the living on the road doesn’t get old.

A Surprise

I was reading an article today about women drivers. The article stated that contrary to popular belief, most women are better drivers than men. I was quite surprised by this statement. I have spent most of my life believing the opposite. After living through many of my own experiences, I thought that girls were bad drivers. Surprisingly, according to the numbers women are safer drivers than men.

I was also unaware that in many cases, car insurance for women is cheaper. There are companies that actually seek out women drivers in order to get the lowest rates. I always say that the numbers don’t lie and I guess I’ll have to change my opinion. There are also other ways for to obtain cheap car insurance for women. By taking advantage of discounts and enrolling in driver education courses, women can get insurance that is very affordable.

I guess the battle between the sexes will go on for awhile longer, but I am certainly disheartened to find that men are on the bottom end of this deal. I will be glad to know that at least my wife will be able to afford the coverage she needs while driving around. I guess the insurance companies haven’t seen her driving yet!

Too Cool to be a Cop Car!

This is way too cool to be a cop car. I cannot believe they have these. The police where I live don’t have any cars this awesome. This had to come from confiscated cars or something like that. There is no way that the police department would spend this kind of money on a car like this for their cops. I like it though.
