Today I had another rehearsal. This one was 1.5 hours away. My part lasted about 2 minutes. There were several there that were from 2 hours away. There was a brother there that is a dead ringer for David Letterman. I understand he gets told that....A LOT!
I mean if David got sick, this guy could fill in and no one would know.
The D.O. said our part "was beautiful". So I guess I am ready for this Saturday. I hope.
I went in early today and cleaned some offices of one of the factories we clean. The H.R. lady told me that Friday would be her last day there. She is going to go to work for the city. I congratulated her. She said that she was excited about this new job. She is going to be in a city department that oversees complaints about people not mowing their yards, or getting their sidewalks shoveled off when it snows. I brought up the fact that I was wanting to start a small lawn service. She thought about that about 2 seconds and grabbed a sticky note to write down my phone number, which she all ready has. I gave her 2 more business cards. Before all of that transpired I had just told her how much appreciated working with her and how approachable and easy she was to work with and I thanked her for that. She smiled and thanked me for the kind words. So I kind of unknowingly greased the skids when the yard mowing idea came out. So maybe I'll get in to the lawn service, and or snow removal. Jehovah well point me in the right direction on that. I don't have to worry about it too much. Just be ready where ever he says to go and do what he opens the door. Don't worry, be happy.
I was up this week on my trading. I am up over 20 bucks for the month. Woo,Hoo! The markets are really slow/sluggish right now. Almost no movement in them at all. I suppose when it breaks it will go one way or the other a long long way. That's not good for the way I trade. I am a "swing trader". Not a trend trader. So we will see soon how that works out. I don't stress over it too much. Jehovah will provide- is providing. I am just trying to give him something to work with. :)
Don't worry, be happy
Owen has had some allergy problems, but Jen took him to the doctor and the Doc said "the allergists say he is too young to have allergies." I don't think the Doc much believed that either. At any rate we got some nose spray that she suggested and he seems to be doing a lot better.
The weather was really warm today, hot really. Almost 90f, that is hot for here at this time of the year. We are running the air conditioning all ready.
I mentioned earlier that my in laws are having to move because of I-69 buying their house and tearing it down. So they are having to move. Which means they are getting rid of a lot of the stuff they have accumulated over the years. My father in law gave me an itty bity 6" fan that I keep on my computer desk. I really like this thing. It is surprising what a little fan like this can do towards cooling you off.
He also gave me a ton of electronics and radio stuff. My kinda "stuff"! Maybe someday I will get time to tinker with it. Right now I am working on small engines. I've about got my weed eater going, I think. Those things will test your patience. I hope I get my chainsaw gas line soon. I am still waiting on that. I've also got an ECHO gas powered leaf blower I picked up out of the trash dumpster that as far as I can tell, just needed a new fuel line. So maybe I can get them all running next week. This week I am too busy. Tomorrow I clean 2 houses. Big houses. And I have a 10 minutes talk tomorrow night that I kind of have an idea of what I am going to say. I need to work on that a little more.
We have a room in Evansville to go to the night before my part. So we are going down early Friday and go to the zoo and maybe to the river walk and pic nic. We are trying to make this a mini vacation sort of a deal. This Sunday we are having the Special Talk. The brother that is giving ours also has a talk Saturday at the assembly. He is 28 and just made elder and a full time pioneer. He's very busy. I am his assistant in a few things. I am his book study assistant, and territory assistant. He gave me the job to make the new maps, which Jen ended up doing. Yeah Jen! Yeah me! Woo! Hoo! Life is good!!!
Next week we will have the D.O and the C.O at our hall because we have the privilege of being the host congregation. I'd like to make a banner that says, "Welcome to Korn Field County!" And one that says, "If you are here, you are lost" placed out in the territory.
The C.O.'s wife loves Starbucks coffee. I'd like to setup a Starbuck OWENS out here somewhere's....
The D.O loves fried Bologna sandwiches, so the report goes. Me too!
So we are going to have a great month here, and very much looking forward to it.
I'll see you out in the "field".
