A/C melt down.

I have been a walk heat wave. Mother nature really turned up the heat towards the end of last week in Phoenix. Then starting Sunday the humidity started to rolling in and made a miserable situation, that put our A/C units on overload. Sunday night our A/C went out in the house that lead us to staying at my mother-in-laws house. Monday morning I got into my work to find out the A/C was out in it. Then I decided I would stop at a Jack in the Box to cool off when I was on my route. When I walked in it was very hot in the restaurant and the employee said sorry about the heat but our A/C is out. I felt like I should apologized to her for being the A/C killer.

The 4 dollar date.

This Sunday the wife and I went out for dinner and a movie. We have been accumulating gift cards from as long as 1 and 1/2 years ago. We don't have a lot time to go out and enjoy things like this. We went to Cheesecake factory and to see the proposal. The date night only cost 4 dollars after we used our gift cards.

Extremely busy time.

The past couple of weeks have been extremely busy for me and I'm glad to be back to blogging. I have applied and interviewed for 3 new positions at my work and ended up getting 1 of them. I will not be starting it until August 1st but that will give me time to train the new guy coming into my position. I'm very excited that I will no longer be getting up at 2am. The new position will require me to get up around 5am or so which is still early but not 2am. I turned 30 on the 24Th and now I'm officially old. I'm preparing for the July 4Th holiday, my vacation which is coming very soon, and making sure all things are in order for the new guy to take over my route. So I guess I also have busy times ahead. That's my update for know, hope you all enjoy me talking about me, and keep visiting.

Wow, I'm 30.

I have passed another milestone in my life and it is better then I ever could of imagined. When my parents turned 30 and I remembered thinking, what will my life be like when I'm 30. Will I have a house, a cool truck, will I be rich? These are the things that I thought would be important to have when I was 30.

It turns out I'm much luckier then the kid in me, wanted me to be. I have an amazing wife that is absolutely gorgeous, 2 beautiful little girls that are funnier then an comedian, and my health. What more could a 30 year old man ask for. I have some nice stuff, and a good job but that doesn't matter because with out my job and stuff I'm still the luckiest man I know. When I'm forty All I really want is my wife, my children, and my health. This is what a grown-up realizes is important.

Together forever.

Today I once again, was amazed by Google. Today I ran into a problem with removing the rear drum to change the brakes on my 2002 Toyota Sienna. Normally they just come off when you loosen the brakes and remove the tire. I then started beating it with a hammer thinking this would break it loose. This also failed. I was thinking maybe this vehicle is different and I need to loosen a bolt or something. I washed the hands and headed to my computer to ask Google. As always she delivered the answer to my question. She sent me to a site that solved a problem I was working on for about an hour. 30 seconds after I read the solution I had the drums off. There so many search engines out there today, but me and Google are staying together forever.

Starting the Wii Fit

I officially love my Wii more every day. Me and the wife received a Wii fit as a combo gift from my parents for our B-Day's this month. I have done 2 workouts on it and I love it. It is fun exercise. I was getting very bored of the treadmill at the gym and have been looking for something new. I think I have found it in the Wii fit. I'm sure it will get old one day and I will be looking for my next challenge. That is when a new game for the Wii balance board comes in. If I'm Lucky I will get the new punch out with the boxing gloves, and the Wii fit Balance board is also compatible. I bet that is a crazy good work out.

The waiting game.

I have always been a very impatient person. I want results and I want them now. I think that is why I love the Internet so much. It tells me what I want to know, when I ask it. This is also a reason I love being a salary employee and not hourly. I work hard and fast then go home, no clock watching. But when it takes time to get results I can't control. I hate it. 

I interviewed for a new position in my company on Tuesday. They said they will let us know by Friday. The waiting is killing me. I will be ok if I don't get it I just want to know either way.

This is 401 and counting

I have completed 400 posts on this website. I hope you have enjoyed the thoughts and rants going on in my brain. I enjoy telling and I hope you enjoy reading.

What is too expensive?

Why is it I will gladly spend $50 dollars on a nice dinner for the wife and I, but wonder if it is worth the extra $4 for the nicer insoles?  The food will be waste hours later but the insoles will be 6 months of happy feet. 

I'm sure many others do the same types thing. 

Like sleep on a bad mattress, but go on a cruise ever year. Would it make sense to skip the cruise this year and have a nice place to spend 1/3 of your day everyday for the next 8 to 10 years?

Why do we consider things for ourselves too expensive or not important?

Are you gellin?

This last weekend I purchased a new pair of shoes for work and I purchased  insoles to go in them. I was trying to decided between the generic $8 insoles or the $12 insoles. I decided to splurge and spend the $12 and get the really nice ones. I purchased the Dr. Scholl's massaging gel insoles. I'm very happy with the purchase. I figure since I will be wearing my shoes 60 or so hours a week for at least 6 months, it was worth the $4 extra dollars. I would recommend giving your feet the treat of gel.

Don't Bullshit me!!!

I have worked in sales for a good part of my career. So I can usually spot a person that is feeding me crap. Why is business so full of crap? I have always been honest with my customers and I expect the same in return. I know it is hard to believe, an honest salesman. Why is it that so many people lie to the customer to get them to buy a product? The customer will only change there mind about your product and never recommend it to anybody. Making your product a short term product. Why has greed made us question our values? Don't people understand that quality products have more value then lies and crap?

Loving the Wii

I know you can make all the jokes you want but I truly love my Wii. TI has all of the games I once loved and all the new things you could ask for. They just came out with Punch-Out with Everlast boxing gloves. One of the original Nintendo's greatest games. Little Mac is at it again fighting, Glass Joe and King Hippo along with all of the others from the original game. The great part of this game today is the Everlast boxing gloves and the fact that you are actually boxing instead of pushing buttons. The Wii rules because it gets you off of your fat ass and makes you sweat. I don't have this game but if you are look for something to get me for my B-Day on June 24Th this would be a good one. (hint hint)

Party's are different now

Last night we had some friends over for taco salad. It was a great time playing in the blow-up pool out back, and the sprinkler I had put in the trampoline. Then once it got dark we came inside and the men played a bowling tournament on the Wii. (I just wanted to point out that Jenna beat all of the guys in the last game, including Rob.) At the end of all the fun I was exhausted and ready for bed. I laid in bed and started to think about the party's before children and how different they were. My friends aren't getting trashed and getting naked for no reason any more. The only nudity last night was under the age of 4 from a diaper malfunction in the trampoline. It's not a bad thing just different.

Not worth the Suck.

I'm sure I have done this rant before but hear it comes again. A day off doesn't mean less work, it actually means more work in less days for me. Working in the beer industry for almost 10 years now I have grown to hate holidays. I get 1 day off, for 2 -3 weeks of hell. How does this add up? I would much rather work the holiday and just get payed then have 2-3 weeks of hell for a day off.

I have work a lot more then an extra 8 hours in the past 2 weeks.
