I took advantage of some more of my leave time at work last Wednesday-Friday to help do a new job and help complete a couple of others for my brother. This had me spending all day Wednesday in Knoxville, TN, Thursday in Maiden, NC, and Friday in Hoover, AL. So that was quite a bit of hours including covering quite a bit of miles between the three places.
On Friday it was all three of us going in to complete a job that we had already done the first stage on a few weeks ago. We got in at a good time, had a good superintendent to work with, and apart from having to deal with some itchy insulation, it went very well.
On our way back from Decatur, Alabama yesterday evening, we came across a Chevrolet dealership that had numerous Corvettes. Among them, this beauty, a Velocity Yellow Z06 and a red one just like it sitting beside it. It’s a 2009 model, and is the first one I’ve seen in person with the new wheel style. In my opinion, it’s one of the most beautiful cars out today. Our local dealership hardly ever has a Corvette, much less a Z06. I’d love to test drive one just for the fun of it; it’d be a blast!
Tearing out in the morning about 7 or 8am for a 3 hour drive to Phenix City, Alabama. My brother and I have another job to do for our oldest brother while he is out of town on a trip. We actually went there on the 1st to do it, but there were alot of other people there doing their work, painting and electrical, and it just takes alot longer to work and try to stay out of others’ way. I’m hoping that since tomorrow is Sunday, there won’t be anyone there and we can get our part done w/o the hassel of working around people. It should take us about 8-10hrs to do it all and then head back. I’d rather be working tomorrow than being here at home with it rainy and gloomy out.

I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to move on when the one you love walks away from you. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything truly worth knowing.
