If you leave your house at 3:45 am with your golf clubs doesn't that mean that you actually don't have time to play golf?
That was my thought as I lugged my clubs and gear out to my truck this morning. I have a booking tomorrow and was hoping I could sneak away 1/2 mile to the driving range to slap out a bucket of balls. Pretty stupid of me to think that, chance of success.....low.
The canucks are in town; Lana & Lauren are staying with Leanne this week preparing for the 'Babe' shower. Nice gals those two. Erin worked her tail off yesterday to free up her Friday so her and the girls can galavant around the Tri-Valley all day today. I arranged for them to spend an hour huffing some fumes over at the nail shop. Is that good for the 'Babe'? Maybe I didn't think that one all the way through. Nonetheless they won't breathe much because they hardly take a break from talking. I'm looking forward to the visit.

Coffee.
I had coffee with my sister-in-law Dana this morning (it's pronounced Dae-Nah for all you french canadians reading out there, it's not pronounced Dan-Uh?...nice try Barista Girl, now boil that milk bitch).
Dana is a gem. She's worked really hard on a 'Babe' shower for Erin that is scheduled for this Saturday in Walnut Creek. Of course she had some tip top helpers in Ankeny and Leanne too. It's going to be a special event I'm sure, especially with all the canucks whom have chosen to fly up from their winter time roosts in Palm Springs to join in on the fun. Can't wait to hear about it and visit with the Selinger women. Thanks for taking care of my girl Dana, Ankeny & Leanne.
That was my break from the mine, back at it, shucking that fence. I've got more contracts that I can shake a pair of fence pliers at. I think I'm on the verge of a panic attack.

Administrivia
I haven't created a high quality blog post for a while. Of course my definition of high quality may differ from yours. From my perspective a high quality post makes me feel good upon completion. From the reader's perspective it may be interpreted differently, but I don't know that because apparently not many people maintain Google interface accounts which are required to post comments. For such a smart company you'd think Google would simplify that shit....sometimes I can't even get logged into my own blog because there is some issue with the hosting of my companies eMail and the hosting of my blog under the same domain. What the shit google? Figure it out already.
Facebook has it figured out. I really am not big on Fbook but their business is crazy. Companies start from nothing and work themselves haggered till they reach the ultimate goal, an Initial Public Offering. Facebook reached that point years ago but they passed on the IPO, choosing to say "Fuck That." Finally today they've announced they will take that IPO step but unlike most IPOs Facebook's will be worth 5 billion dollars. What does this mean? There's a trickle down effect in the local economy. BMC or British Motor Car Distributers of San Francisco probably just gobbled up every available Ferrari and Lambo available in the U.S. and placed orders for the 2013 Aventador to meet the new sudden demand. That's right this particular trickle down affects a small little piece of the local economy. The elite ultra wealthy group is about to have a few new members. Good for them, those guys who dialed Facebook in, ignored the outside naysayers are about to cash in. So Facebook is cool, but isn't BMC a neat business? Have you ever driven by the showroom on Van Ness and wondered WTF, who in their right mind? That's exactly what the salesmen at BMC think too. So how do they do it? Here's my guess......
1. Maintain a high level of business knowledge.
2. Know people.
3. Watch for local companies to announce IPO's.
4. Know people within those companies.
5. Based on your knowledge of people within said company, gain rights (order?) to available luxury cars on the market.
6. 2 weeks before the IPO send those people a Gallardo to drive around.
7. Have them sign the contract during the euphoria that occurs immediately after becoming a millionaire.
Boom.....its just like giving away a hemp bracelet and a peace sticker to sell a prius.
How do I apply this approach to fence? I'm working on that. Fence is shiny, cooler than a prius, but it doesn't make dork programmers sexy.
But like I said.....my posts haven't been that great....this one seems rushed.
