what a day

I am freakin tuckered out! I have been house/dog sitting and also helping some friends clean up their house cause they sold it and are moving. Long days...Today I got my truck stuck out in the field cause I was being stupid in not taking this hill in the field at a higher rate of speed. I got stuck in a small ravine in the field and a jeep had to pull me out. Needless to say I didnt accomplish the goal for which I entered the field in the first place(removing signs). I finally got my settlement check from my car accident from last september. Other than taking care of bills and dstuff I am hoping to get my hands on a decent bass guitar. I am gonna be recording a couple tracks soon at East2West, just need a bass for part of it...not to mention figuring out what tunes I want to do. Snippets from those recordings will eventually be posted at the studio's website. off to bed!!!

OMG!

I am getting a new car. My dad is hooking me up with his Ford Escortthat may have 100,000 miles on it. He got it with low miles and now most of the miles on it are HWY ones. So I am giving my truck (79 GMC)to my baby bro. He had wanted to buy it when I did but he didnt have the funds so he let me go for it. Now he gets the truck he has been wanting since before he got his drivers license and I can now have better fuel economy and be able to put money away. I am stoked. East2West is located all the way on the other side of town and going out there twice a week on top of all my other driving around makes for several fill-ups. Whats great about the car other than mileage is that its a hatchback, I can easily haul my gear and keep it dry all the while having passengers. What a Godsend! Thank you Lord!

Off to work
