Just did Day 3 (Shoulders and Arms) of my latest P90X phase.
I work-out just to drink the recovery drink at the end of each work-out.
First Spring outdoor soccer game is tomorrow, Friday night.

Feb 16th, 2011

Spring is in the air. The weather is nice. A slight drizzle and sprinkles today.
Started P90X work out with Richard Reed – Chest and Back. I am sore. But it’s all good!
Will be in tip-top shape before summer is here! I can’t wait to wear shorts and show off my new Red Dragon Tattoo!
Spring outdoor Soccer is starting slowly. We had Winter Weather and the first two games were canceled!

Jan 2011

Well here we are. Another year.
Jacob, his wife Robyn, and their 4 week old (Dec 5, 2010) baby Evie Mikaela Sullivan made it to Texas in their car on Sunday night. Spending a few days in Texas before driving on to Arizona. Where their belongings are being shipped by the Army. Jacob is out of the Army also. Contract Fulfilled. Term served. Done deal.
Spent most of the break between Christmas and New Years playing Xbox 360 Kinect and Hunting.
Spring outdoor soccer will be starting at the end of January. We are practicing on Sunday and playing Friday nights. I am still #1 Goalie.
Christmas lights are still on house, but not plugged in.
I am going to get my left leg tattoo completed by Will at Wil@wiltattoos.com in Randy Adams Studio. It’s going to be a Red Dragon Tattoo on my front shin, opposite of the red koi on the back calf of my leg.

October means Halloween

Well it has not really cooled off yet. As to be expected in Fort Worth Texas. Fall takes forever to arrive, and then it’s gone before you know it!
Took a road trip to Kansas. Saw some leaves changing colors. Very nice.
Got my Car’s Brake Pads replaced. Now all of my brake pads are lifetime warrantied. Replaced my front shocks/struts. Lifetime warranty.
Had some work done on my huge pecan tree. I had proper cable system put in, and the old lines removed.
Fertilized my yard and watered it all in real good. Got my plants re-potted and soaked, now they are drying out before I bring them in for the winter. Love my peppermint and rosemary!
I was able to go out to the Spur of the Moment Ranch to get some deer hunting preparations done. Got all the feeders and cameras operational. Lost a deer blind, feeder, some boards, and scaffolding to theives, though. We were able to clear cut down 20 or so trees to create more deer shooting lanes and clean up the fire lanes for shooting the deers, hogs and turkey. Should be a great year for deer jerky!

Looking forward to a productive weekend Oct 23/24 around my house. Should get my attic work completed, and have some time and energy for other projects.

Side note: I made $10 using new the MoneyPak for Paypal. Bought gift card from Wal-Mart. Loaded it into Paypal. Moved the money back into my banking account and got paid $10 for the promotion 🙂

Bought some professional competition goalie gloves, finally. Used a coupon and made it happen. Can’t wait to get them!
Diadora Maestro Soccer Keeper Gloves – Features a super-soft, 4mm latex foam palm for an excellent grip. PE stay inserts behind the fingers offer enhanced punching power and protective resistance when your fingers are pushed backwards. Diatech breathable fabric maintains form under all conditions. Mesh inserts for ventilation.
Side note, We are in the middle of two weeks off from outdoor soccer for the fields to be re-seeded. Our last game, we came from behind and won 4-3! I was awesome in goal! I blocked everything that they shot at me in the second half. I think that I need to spend more time warming up because I am always better the second half of soccer for no good reason. i mean I get plenty of warm-up before games.

Did P90X and Insanity work-outs again! Go Team Beachbody!

Fall 2010

As September arrived, I switched from Indoor Soccer to Outdoor soccer. http://www.fwsoccer.com/ Fort Worth Nomads, Men’s over 30 teams. I am playing Goalie. I have played against Juan, a member of my indoor team. He scored once on me, but I blocked everything else he sent my way! It is sad not playing indoor this fall. But they need girls, and easily replaced my spot on the team.

I have moved work offices to Fort Worth. Closer commute, and better hours 9-6. Arlington Regional Data Center, E 820 and Randoll Mill Rd.

Preparing for deer hunting season. Had some new fire and shooting lanes bulldozes. Moved all of the feeders, and setup a new one. Also set up a two story scaffolding on the very back fence line.

Summer 2010

I survived another summer of working two jobs. Just barely though. I had a fat ass bastard doing work in my Pecan Tree and he broke a tree limb and damage my roof. He was not insured. So I had to repair that out of pocket. I knew I was working hard for a reason 🙁 Household emergencies. Now I can not have another emergency for at least one month!
New girlfriend = check.
Wonderful days ahead = check.
Cool weather is what we need now!

Summer Time.
I am kicking it, two job-style!
Working Full time at UTA Help Desk and part time at TCU Hardware.
Only two more weeks of part-time job. Thinking about Lowe’s or some place for another pt job. perhaps game-stop for the discount!
Indoor Soccer is still a blast. Been invited to join outdoor leagues, Just need the free time to do it!
Triple digit heat in Texas keeps much else from going on. Can’t do much outdoor work at my Dad’s ranch until it cools down. Dove season, then deer season are right around the corner, though!
