Welcome to the TxKid Homepage
All About Me
HOWDY BUCKAROOS! This is my official homepage. It has been online now for over four years now. For those of you who don't know yet I am David Spector otherwise known as the TxKid on IRC and some of the html chat networks. I have had this name since the early 90s when I was in Lubbock. Some of you might also know me for my other name on IRC ]Mr_Butts. I moved into my new home in west central Hanford California seven years ago after two years on the north side of the city.
August 21, 2009
My class ended and everyone passed. I have never had a class with such student enthusiasm before. I can't wait until I get my next group. Sara turned three and we celebrated her birthday at Chuck E Cheeses. Unfortunately most of her invited gusts could not make it. She had a lot of fun though. She would have fit in at the 2009 Warped Tour where all of the kids recognized me as "Sara's dad". The highlights of the show were the outstanding performance by Streetlight Manifesto, a big fight while Gallows was playing and Meg and Dia Frampton proved they were as good as their famed father. I would have loved to have seen more old skool bands, but the lineup this year was solid. I have decided to take more time off from my office (I hate the summer heat) and spend valuable time with the kids. We have still been trying to sell most of our horses, but the economy here has wiped out all of the prospective buyers. We will keep trying.
Angie my sweetheart. I love you.

Workin For A Livin
After two years in Lubbock as a teaching assistant, I got my start from a private company in Perrysville, PA in March 1994. I was there for around three months then joined the National Weather Service. I really hated leaving the Pittsburgh area since I had many friends there. I was sent to the office in Medford Oregon in July 1994 then was transferred to the office in Billings Montana in September 1997. After 2 1/2 years in Billings, I was promoted and transferred the office in Hanford California in March 2000 issuing heavy snow warnings and such.
