Its been an odd year for me, I am still employeed and doing well financially so thats better than most I think, I have me a new girl friend in my life Connie a lil 5-1 tiny gal just like I like em, she is a real sweetheart and we have a promising future together, kids and grandkids are all doing well, my folks are still kickin hard............actually life is still pretty good at this point

I do see some changes comming though

 

so whatcha telling us we are all invited to the wedding

 

dont push it, not that I wouldnt but its way early in this relationship, time will most likely tell there ..................actually I am thinkin real deep here and I am at a point in my life where I can pretty much do whatever I want so maybe a lil adventure would be nice

 

09's been good to me. still gainfully employed, get to ride plenty, weather has been moderate. Family is all good....

and best of all... by DB buddies are all still around even though I've been MIA for a year.

hi 5 fellas

 

It sucked, just like 08 and 07 did, been slower than hell for work in Florida and now Orlando is none as the number 1 hardest place to find a job, there's a 1000 apps for every job and if you do get the job your still not getting paid enough do to illegals lowered the wage base to where you have to live 5 people to a house to live.

Our wages were low to start out and it was hard to get by before all that happened.

I'm hoping it will turn around quick, it been three long years and my reserves are gone and work came to a stop this month.

Oh well hope everyone else is doing much better!!!

 

09 has been good to me.2 job empolyment is hard but worth it,sometimes I fell like I dont have enought time with the wife and kid but it will pay off in the long run.Most of the family is doing well mom,dad,ect.So all is well to this point.Plan to retire in N.C.

 

09 has been good for me.I've been really busy since i transfered to another part of peterbuilt in 08.and it hasn't slowed down yet.Then i got a transfer closer to home a couple months ago.

 

so far its been the worst year i have lived got laied off twice arrested once, suffered from a major injury had to move in with the parents and cant afford to eat much, but i got my hopes up next year can only get better right?

 

Whit just remember that if you have any second thoughts about getting hitched then don’t do it.

 

It's been ok.

The Good:
Still self employed and the business is doing ok.
Got my Federal Airboat Certification.
Enojy my time with the SAR team.
Getting a lot more underway time than previous years.
Paid off a few big bills and more are going away
Grand daughter lives with me and at 3 1/2, keeps my old *** young
Son's doing well in pre-med.
Daughter finally got a full time job at the hospital.
Wife retired

The Bad:
Wife Retired
Father in Law had a major stroke
Everybody in the house is sick at present
The IRS is still in business

Overall it seems the good outweighs the bad

Let's hope 2010 is better for everyone all the way around
