TONY STEWART GETS POLE #1

(HE STARTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT ROW)

 

SATURDAY JULY 2ND , 2005

 

     The boys, Dad, Gramma, Julie and Cousins are all headed to Maine today. They are off to visit Great Aunt Connie. And hang out in the old neighborhood. Mom has to work, but will have the whole afternoon off. Ahhhhh.

 

Well we got some good news on the job front this week. A local postmaster called the dock to speak to someone about Keith and his work habits etc. seems he is a friend of the postmaster of Ruskin, FL. (one of the offices that Keith has put in a transfer for) he gives a sparkling review.

 

     Next the company in Hyannis, MA called him, (the one that didn’t want him last year) they have a job to offer him. He got the message on his voice mail. But it being the 4th of July week end no one is available to call back to talk to, in order to get more particular’s (like how much??)

 

I know he REALLY would prefer the V.A. job in Tampa, because he would keep his govt. time and seniority. So he emailed that person to check on the status of the hiring there. Come to find out he is off until Wednesday. I’m glad for him, after all that work 3 places want him. Now if I could only get someplace to want me L

 

TONY STEWART WINS #2

FOR THE YEAR AT DAYTONA

 

 

SUNDAY JULY 3RD , 2005

 

     Well Keith and I are discussing what to do, where to live etc. He doesn’t relish another winter like the last one either, However it is a job offer.

 

     The only other variable in the equation is how much can we get for the house. If it is not enough it’s still out. So I called our Realtor. (he sold the house to us the first time. for the SELLER,) He is away in NY but will call back.

 

     So the fire is lit again, Keith finishes up the trim work on the shed and the tree house, I 2nd coat the back door, touch up the front door and make a valiant effort to paint the mailbox to match the trim on the house, just like the hose holder on the front of the house. It would have been fine if I had not tried to stencil in the address. The letters looked like something out of a horror movie. FOOEY. Now I need to buy a new mailbox, duh!

 

Keith pulls the downstairs windows for me to paint and he and the kids do the grocery shopping. I straighten up and stash the junk. All except for the cellar. That needs a dumpter.

 

     We still need to pack the trailer since we head to Massasoit tomorrow for 4 days. Yikes we need a few clones.

 

MONDAY JULY 4TH , 2005

 

     Well our realtor shows up at 0800 as promised, bringing Danish and muffins, Keith supplies the coffee. He is VERY impressed. He sees a buyer just “moving in” and not having to do anything. There are a few things we may need to change. But we knew that “Designed to SELL  not Designed to Live This is my favorite show, on HGTV, Tuesdays at 8:00pm.

 

     We need to pack up the clutter (not mine. Most of that is gone) replace a closet door – I have a curtain, because they bang together, and still iffy on the furniture to stay in the Master bedroom. He loved the play yard. And says that will be a good feature, that and the central AC. He asks what we need in lead-time. a place to live etc. Keith point’s out the trailer and says

 

     After he leaves Keith mows the lawn and packs the trailer by himself (I am at work) I stop at Wal-Mart on the way home for a few things that we don’t have.

 

We finally head over to the campground around 4:00 and get settled in. It’s burgers for dinner and then the boys head to the beach around 7:30. Mom heads for home, since she has to work tomorrow, that will be 1 less shower with limited water supply.

     We get the results from last weeks labs – they are awesome. We have switched from the pill Methotrexate to the liquid. This is able to be done either by mouth or injection.

Since Ian was having such a hard time keeping the pills down, we figured maybe this would be easier. Just in case tho I have them show me both ways – by mouth and injection. So that he will get his medicine no matter what. Since all the OTHER meds are getting smaller. And I don’t want the labs to come back going up.

     We are supposed to meet the Realtor at 1:00 at the house, so he can go over the figures with us. Sorry about the interrupted vacation for the kids. They are both voting for Florida, me too. But it is all a numbers game. The homes in Florida are skyrocketing in price. I have not let go of the Rivercrest home yet, even tho its lot size isn’t perfect. We know the house is JUST the way we want it, and we can afford to put in a pool.

 

     While at work my Tour Superintendent mentions to me that he has not yet received a call back for FL. That doesn’t surprise me. (He did call 2 weeks ago)He also tells me he will try again later today if he remembers. I am impressed that HE remembered, and that he was not going to accept the brush of either. Guess that says I am an employee that is worth having even if I have no Sick Leave. Their loss if they don’t want me.

 

     We get a few things done at the house and then head for the camper. I make shift a supper and then take the boys down to the lake so they can swim. We are there until 7:00. Then it’s back to the camper and watching TV.

 

WEDNESDAY JULY 6TH , 2005

 

     Mom stayed home today and spent the day with the kids. But it turns out that today is a rainy yucky day. So the 4 of us head to the house. The boys play video games and Mom and Dad take care of some things around the house.

 

     Dad heads to work and we wait for the mail and then head back to the trailer. The boys ride bikes and then time for mom to go to bed. Since she is going to work tomorrow.

 

SUNDAY JULY 10TH , 2005

 

     We head up to NHIS to drop the trailer off, and yet again it is nothing but aggravation with these people. We arrive together so we can park together and we still can’t manage it. Tho we did get an awesome spot. We are right on the road, so plenty to watch when we hang out at the trailer.

 

     But because of the distance between our trailers we won’t be able to hook up to Brent’s nice QUIET generator. Damn! The good part is that Ian will be all set to sell his beads. I spent 85.00 on beads and he will pay me back as he sells them.

 

     The “beads” are just like Madi Gras beads. The guys hand them out trying to get women to flash them their breasts. Ian sells them as NASCAR beads, he has all the colors of the various drivers. What is done with them after he sells them doesn’t matter J.

 

FRIDAY JULY 15TH , 2005

 

     The boys and I head to NHIS – it is as usual hotter than hell and lotz of traffic.  It takes us a good 2.5 hours to get there. Then once we get there I have the 1st attendant let me by, since I have groceries and kids to drop off and then will return to the lower lot, since I don’t have a parking pass. Well of course the next one says NO I can’t go to my trailer and drop the stuff off. So I call Brent (who is already in) and he comes out with his truck, he takes the boys and the groceries and I head back out to the overflow lot.

 

     Since I am coming out, I manage to sneak into the OTHER overflow lot and end up only about 100 yds from the trailer on the other side of the rock barriers. Not too bad.

 

Well with all this extra BS and running around mom misses her chance to be in the VIP section of Trackside (the TV show – filmed at the track every week) and it is unbearably HOT trying to set things up. That and someone has parked too close to our trailer in the rear and I can not open the garage portion, and that is where everything is. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

     I wiggle my way in, while standing on the bumper and pass the stuff down to Ian. What a big help he is. He also sets up his table and starts making money J

 

     I did have Brent pick up a generator for me – I couldn’t stand the other one… too much noise, now we have power any time and no noise.ahhhhhh

 

SATURDAY JULY 16TH , 2005

 

     Today is the Busch race and EVERYONE goes to this race.

 

Ian sets up bead selling after lunch and does OK, but man did he make our after supper, the drunks cleaned him out. He several repeat customers and with all the folks sitting there with him no one gave him a hard time. The kid made $200.00 AFTER he paid me off nice work.

     We are all packed and ready by 0900 – I head out with the boys and we stop to return the unneeded generator oil and then home. Dad is bringing the trailer home solo.

 

WEDNESDAY JULY 27TH , 2005

 

Dylan’s  9th Birthday

 

 

     Ian wants to open a checking account for all his $ so we head to the bank where Dad opened the savings accounts – the one inside Wal-Mart for easy access.

 

     When we get home I order him some SpongeBob Squarepants checks – with his name etc.

 

FRIDAY JULY 29TH , 2005

 

     We head to the pediatricians office after work to have Ian’s monthly labs done. What a trooper.
