updates.. updates.. uh well. i worked one day last week. would of been 2 if i wasnt sick. nobody seemed it necessary to call me friday and tell me we werent working though. so i got up, drove to work. hmm. im the only one here. so i made no money, which is bad when im working on getting a place with my friend.

the international truck sold for around $1,500 without me even being a bidder in the auction. oh well. My full size blazer is back in action with some new floor pans (the passenger side pan is a piece of the roof off the woody). Already took it to the off-road park once, which was severely lacking in mud. I need to figure out what im going to do for work this winter. I passed my cdl written test, and ive got my permit. I've driven two semis (be afraid). So I might try and drive trucks for the winter if I pass my skills test.

Well it's 2:44 am and I'm supposed to be up at 8, well.. ready to LEAVE at 8, but that doesn't look like that's going to happen. Unless I drink a big espresso, or a couple shots, whatever's necessary. Mm arabica. OOH. Cedar Point. Don't want to experience Millennium Force again, but will probably be forced to go on it. Random bitchings for the night/morning: MARIE MUST STOP WITH THE ALOE OBSESSION. o:) #2, Mark sucks. DAMN HIM. roar. :( (\/) <-- my rendition of a heart split? Har. Looks more like a dead pac man. Ok, Marie is #2, and Mark situation is #1 all time on my list at the moment because well.. BECAUSE. No reason necessary. Oh, here Paul.. I used to be best friends with this guy all in grade school, Trent Alberts.. and after I left Orchard Hollow in 6th grade I didn't follow everyone on to Jr. High because I was freaked out and so mom sent me to this horrible catholic school for 7th and 8th grade. ANYHOO that's besides the point, then I went to Magnificat for 4 years, and didn't go to Mentor High like I should have. Well last month or something, on the Mentor Channel, the Mentor High commencement was on, and I saw all the people I used to go to school with and I was friends with, and then I saw Trent get his diploma and I just about died because then I realized what a farking retard I was not to keep in contact with most of those people and especially Trent because he accepted me for what I was because I was the biggest freak in school. BLAH. WHY does that happen? It is little known to many. Schtoopid life. *shrug* Ok, it's almost 3, I shall shut my mouth because I know now you're starting to think I'm a bit 'off.'

Tommorow morning I go in to take my cdl (commercial drivers lisence) written test. If i pass, I'll get my permit and on my way to be able to drive semis and whatnot. Its going to be 70 questions total, 50 vehicle and 20 airbrakes. I've got the morning off work tommorow for it, so I can sleep in some. I've been lacking sleep getting around 6 hours a night and its starting to catch up with me. It looks like I'm going to to crash now.. maybe I'll actually pass the test..

Lots of hard work. Not enough sleep. We're getting ready for the auction at the farm. Cleaning out barns, loading stuff on pallets. I've got my eyes on one of the things going up for auction. It's a 1952 International I-110 pickup truck with a straight 6, 65,000 miles on the odometer. The truck runs, only problem with it right now is the brakes.

I've been going out to the cruise Friday and Saturday nights on my motorcycle. Some crazy shit. I want to be racing that international out there.. My friend has a 425 big block on a stand in his garage and that truck is begging to be tricked out. The auction is Aug. 4th.. We'll see how it goes..

I started landscaping, its hard work (partial reason for lack of updates). I'm getting lots of hours though. I'm being trained to do all the machine work, sit on a bobcat all day. So maybe it wont be so bad.
I picked up a webcam today. Right now you can view it at http://restricted.ath.cx/webcam/. Thought that may change. So if you wanna see me sitting around generally doing nothing and being useless. You can always check the cam.
