Title: Arizona updates
Post by: 94touring on January 16, 2010, 04:50:10 PM
Well out here making things happen.  Have my China flight student contract 90% done and nearly approved.  Have an offer on a house submitted.  And starting tomorrow I have a few Vegas flights to pickup and drop people off.  Feels good!

Awesome!  I hope that you get the house.  Any pics?  How is the garage?

3 car garage, lol.  I'll wait to see if they take the offer, I know I'm competing with 2 other people.

Got outbid on the house  :(  Gotta keep the search going. 

Have a meeting being scheduled in China where I'm suppose to present the school and what I have to offer.  Should be an eventful moment, since I'm really just trying to get some students here to keep me busy.  I'm really going all out this time, lol.  If I do end up going there and they like what I have to offer I will literally be coming back to the US with a million dollars.  Wish i got to keep all that...but planes cost money too.  Might be a good time to ask my boss for a raise though, hahaha.

Sorry about the house.  There should be many more out there to choose from.

I have a cousin about our age who is a pilot...He used to work for some company that had him flying around China.

Ha, well still waiting to hear if we got out bid on the next house.  Funny market out here right now.  The apartment I'm in temporarily has some free wi fi floating around which is kinda nice.

She has been "upgraded" from GF to Wifey?  When did that happen?  Congratulations in order?

Be careful about that.  In some of the "common law" states, that is enough for it to be considered official.

I think that's true for Texas, or so I've heard before. Isn't there also something about if you've lived together for a certain amount of time you're legally married?

Grats on the house! Looks great!

The moving has begun.   62.gif  Had a slight delay getting the key from the title company but they delivered it to us at work after I had a minor case of phone rage.

Haha yeah I'm not one for lolly gagging around.   20.gif   Got everything in the house today and out of storage and the other apartment.  Even had time to go to work for a few hours.  Hit the crap out of my back on the railing on the stair case moving a dresser up.  Nothing like taking a gouge of flesh off your spine right above your tail bone.

Speaking of being an a-hole I had to be one to some douche at the airport this afternoon.  Went there to pick up my step daughter with the wife and kids.  At this one part of the airport where you wait for people to "arrive" there is ALWAYS some sort of hippie trying to solicit you for some damn thing; save the polar bears, rainforrest, etc etc.  Well, it never fails, they never seem to feel the need to just let me walk by and not bug me. 

Hippie <clip board in hand, all loud and cheery from about 20 feet away>: Hi folks! How's it going?
Me <in a loud, annoyed voice>: FINE AND WE'RE NOT INTERESTED IN WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE DOING HERE!
Hippie: You don't want to help the children??
Me: NOPE!
Then as we kept walking I heard him say to his parnter in a defeated voice, "That's the third person today who said they didn't care about anything we're here for..."  AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

My wife: Dang, you were a real jerk to that guy.
Me: Damn straight, woman.

LOL Organic cat food!  Was it 10 bucks a can?
Title: Re: Arizona updates
Post by: 94touring on April 03, 2010, 11:28:27 PM
Yeah probably, I couldn't have cared less. ::)

Well anyways I've met all my surrounding neighbors and they are all extremely nice.  That makes me feel a little more comfy when I do any loud grinding or banging in the garage for short periods of time. 

Spent most the day painting the living room, kitchen, and dining area.  More rooms to go and a busy week ahead of me.

So with all the extra hours at work and all the work in general, we treated ourselves to a 58" plasma tv today.   ;D
Title: Re: Arizona updates
Post by: joltfreak on April 11, 2010, 09:36:36 AM
sweet!!
i'm looking on getting a LCD tv very soon as well!

Glad all is going well for you Dan. I changed computers and lost this bookmark.

I fixed that one.

58" Plasma, good choice, I have had my 42" Plasma for 7 years now and it works like it is brand new. Between my 6 y/o and cartoons and my 17 y/o and his gaming the thing has ridicules hours on it. No burn in no fading and it is as bright as the day we bought it.


Are you still restoring cars?

Title: Re: Arizona updates
Post by: 94touring on April 20, 2010, 08:50:04 PM
Hey Jim!  Good to hear from you.  Yeah I asked about the lifespan on the TV since I heard plasmas were limited, but aparantly no so much anymore. 

Still doing cars and need to have my pickup shipped out here next month or so. 

Whats new with you?

Found out how to increase my laziness.  The girly and I bought a nintendo wii the other day (tons of fun btw), well you can connect to the internet on it.  So now I can flip my TV from cable, to nintendo, to internet, and never leave the couch.  Nothing like porn on a 58" plasma, LOL.
