quick update, wierd video, and ode to my MOM

well, everything is ok, i am just working, working, working. i just cant figure out, with all this $$, coming in, why am i broke?

any way- my jobs are ok, there not bad, its just not where i want to be- the pay and benifits are great. i hate landscaping but thats what im doing at the tollway untill winter- then snowplowing- thats cool. the air freight job is ok, lots of time to wait. i have a dvd player and that is handy and when i get my new book, that will be my project. i just hate bieng a plain lowlife driver- i am not a driver, i am a recovery expert that helps drivers when they screw up. well anyway.....

its late but i want to tell you that i am going to start a new segment- the recovery count. i want to keep running totals of who does the most recoveries in my area- now, these are only the ones i have heard of so, i may be off. but in the past week here are the totals
Airline- 1 (for sure, possably 2)
Ernies-2
Jims-1
Lin Mar-1
District- 1 (for sure, may be 2)
IDOT- 0
Bristle-1
O'Hare- 0
Bloomingdales- 0

so, i will add as we go along
