House and Plans Update

So I am still working on the house, so tired of it to tell the truth but I see the light now. Started to finish the garage drywall this week, did the ceiling years ago so now the walls, hung 25 sheets last week by my self and this week I have to install the rest of the screws which not looking forward to but if I think like I do when wiring which is one wire at a time it will be one screw at a time and before I know it I will be done with that part.

Last week I also had a wildland fire refresher class so I only worked on the house 3 days, even though I am trying to quit work and retire to a boat I am looking at supplemental income from wildland fires during the season and live on the boat and sail the rest of the time, that's the plan anyway.

So just an update on whats going on.

Stuff

Went running today well at least I tried, I knew I was still tired from working on the roof Saturday and Sunday but I thought it would be OK, I have been working on getting my speed back up to where it was pre surgery, I kind of have the distance but not the speed, I need to run 1 1/2 mile in 11 minutes, last time I think it was 13.30, I started off at a good speed but got tired real quick so the total run was maybe a mile, oh well try again next week.

When I was walking between runs today I was thinking about things to write, too bad I forgot what they were.

Think I am going to delete Runkeeper too and some other programs that go with it. speaking of deleting, a lot of the friends on facebook are there because of Roller Derby, now that I don't have a team to play on I may as well delete them, some of course I will keep, the true friends, I know the reason must of them don't post on my wall is because I don't post on their wall, of course others are so important that they don't have time to post on all their friends walls.

There's a reason for everything.

There has to be a reason for everything in life or that's maybe what I should believe, it makes things easier if I believe that way.
So it seems for me that my derby days are done, I have been fighting against this for 2 1/2 years but not going to fight it anymore, I was getting upset because I could not play as much as I wanted and on facebook it seemed that all my derby friends were playing all the time, you can't get good at something if you don't get to practice and I wasn't, nobody will let you play on there teams if you can't make it to practice and with the closest team 2 1/2 hours away there is no way I could  do that, can't move because I am too old  to transfer, not that I am giving up, I have $1000 in derby gear that I have to make use of somehow, should have known when I bought the new skates, oh well.
So the reason I have come up with is that I have to continue on the path I started 2 years ago, that is finish the house and sell, quit work and find the sail boat that I have always wanted.

Why did I stop blogging

Remembered why I stopped blogging, I had a problem with changing my email from yahoo to gmail and keeping my logon, it took over a year for google to forget so I could get it back  and by then I had got away from blogging and moved on the facebook.
