Rainy Days in Frisco

It's another lazy, rainy afternoon here in Frisco.
The rain has been falling on and off since last Friday night.
It's a good thing we got some DVD's from NetFlix to watch.
Here's how I rate the movies:

• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - 2 thumbs up.
• History of Violence - 2 Thumbs up.
• Proof - 1 thumb.
• Saw 2 - TBV
  

The TV is currently showing the Dallas Mavricks playing the New Jersey Nets.
Who do we cheer for?
Here are some pictures of Hawk, Mommie and Chelsea.

Ramblings...

It's about the end of the 2nd week of my planned 3 month vacation. It's been relaxing but I noticed that I have been waking up really early. Sometimes as early as 5:30 AM CST. I wonder why? Could it be that I already miss the corporate life? Maybe not.

I did some research yesterday about the Goin'Postal franchise. I went to one of their stores and interviewed, who I'm guessing is, the owner. He seems to be satisfied with the support he is getting with the franchisor. He also stated that business is doing well. ...got to do a lot more research...

When I got bored from just laying around and watching TV, I did some unpacking. I also am organizing the garage. I've already installed the 2 kayak storage hangers, one bike lift and some utility shelving. I still have to figure out how to store the rest of my stuff in the garage.











Meanwhile, inside the house, I have installed 7 ceiling fans. I'm hoping this will help save on our utility bills this summer.
To the right is a picture of one I installed in the family room.









Here is a closer look at the fan.
I also installed on of this in the Game room and the Master bedroom












This fan is in Hawk's room.
The fan blades has a nautical theme.









I installed one of this in Wowie's ( this is what Hawk calls Angie's mom) bedroom, the office and media room.






That's it for now. Got to go back to my vacation. More pictures to come. Hopefully next time there will be people in them.

Home Sweet Home

There's a "wintery mix" falling down from the skies today and me and my brother are soaking wet. We've just finished taking all my stuff from storage and stuffing them into a u-haul trailer. Thanks to my brother, we did not have to stay too long outside. Tomorrow, me and my younger sister embark in a 1600 mile journey to my new home in Frisco. I can't wait to see my wife and son. Give them big hugs and kisses. It's been a long five weeks since i've left them. That's it for now. I've got to rest for the long drive. I'll see you soon...home...sweet...home...

The End

Today is the end of my corporate life and beginning of what I will call the "Second Half" of my life. Entrepreneurship. Tomorrow, I will pack up my woodworking tools into a trailer and at dawn on Friday, the long trip from NJ to TX. Texas, here I come!
