Enjoying the early spring here. It got up to nearly 90 yesterday.....not quite ready for that. I refuse to turn the AC on this early. My yard just looks, and smells, so amazing with everything blooming right now. We are actually way too dry for this time of year. I am already worrying about the summer and a drought year. For the first time since 2001, I am seriously starting to look for another job much closer to home. This place is a dying industry, the pay isn't increasing, let alone keeping up with the cost of living and driving 50ish miles to get here, then back home, is getting to be more than the increase of pay, by doing the drive, is worth. Gas is just getting too high to validate it. Not to mention, that because of the commute, I spend 65 hours a week to do this job. I love the people I work with and the flexibility I have to manage my time while here, but I have to look at the bottom line. Motocross season starts this next weekend......yay. I won't be able to afford to go as much as I like......boo. But, the boys have been invited to compete at a national level now so it was bound to happen that I wouldn't be able to travel the country with them anyway. Nice weather equals a lot more hiking and riding. I've come to the realization that my old horse just hasn't got the joints to ride the way I enjoy anymore. The yout is getting a lot more work that he would like but it's good for both of us. He is a handful and a half, keeps me on my A game. On the bright side, all of my hard work at the gym has paid off. The hiking and riding is much easier again! Generic dude is finally doing well enough at his two businesses that he was able to quit his part time job. I actually get to see him in more than passing on weekends. Although, he did welch on a deal to spend the whole weekend hanging out when a last minute appointment came up on Friday, for Saturday morning, and then the golf sirens called and begged him. I told him to go and get out of my hair. Now, if only I had the time to go hunting for one of those cute little s-types.
