No Students

 Happy Birthday Sammie!

I suppose it's no surprise I didn't have

any students this evening.

After all, it IS 2 days before Christmas.

And Sammie's birthday...

LOL

Kyle was just saying last night that he was

going to cancel the phone he bought for

his business. He's been paying for it for nearly

2 months now and it hasn't rung yet for

anything other than sales calls.

And this morning as I was getting ready 

for work, I heard it ring.

(It has a VERY distinctive ring...)

I knew he was still sleeping so was waiting

to hear him YELL at whatever telemarketer who was stupid

enough to call him and wake him up.

But he actually said civil words.

Turns out someone in the neighborhood up

the street from us had seen his signs

and wanted him to come clear the back

part of his new house's yard.

He's getting a pool put in next month

and the woods were a little close...

He expected it would take a couple of days

so was pleasantly surprised when Kyle came over

to walk it and quoted him an hour and $450!

COOL!

Kyle came in to my office a bit later

and we got him registered as a contractor

with the Town and he got to apply for his

first permit!

(Under brushing is a zero fee permit,

but it helps to have one so if the busy body

neighbor calls the town to complain about

his clearing out there, we can tell them its

all permitted and legal and mind your business!)

Anyhow.

That was neat!

(And he put his Go-Pro on the roof of 

his Cat - made for some fun video!)

Kyle was happy and so was the 

home owner - successful day all around!

(And another neighbor caught him on

his way out of the neighborhood and wants

a quote to clear his extra lot next to him

next month!)

Tomorrow I'm taking the day off and we 

are driving to Deland (north of here and just

west of where we go to get our feed)

to pick up some steel to finish up the barn.

No pictures today.

There were clouds over the stars so

we didn't get to see them this evening.

But since I'm shutting down my class early,

we are going to run to the grocery store to get

the Cool Whip (fruit salad), and potatoes I

forgot to get earlier in the week.

Oh, and a big giant bag of ice because Rod

is going to be home for the next 10 days

and he likes LOTS of ice in his lemonade.

And the ice maker in the fridge is broken.

Fun times all around!
