So I’m waiting in my car for billy to arrive at the haunted house yesterday. Billy pulls up, and mouths the phrase “what the hell are we doing here” through the windshield, lol. I then proceeded to get out of my truck, and welcome Billy back “home”.

I admit, I was nervous. I almost wanted the bad news that we couldn’t do the haunted house again, just so we wouldn’t have to bust our asses ilke we did last year. But going to the house yesterday was good for us. At least I beleive it was. Walking through, and seeing what was all still there really helped to put things in perspective. Are we really that far behind? Yes. The real question is can we get done, what needs to be done. The answer to that, is of course, yes.

Right now we are at just about the same place we were at last year at this time. The major difference being that we aren’t rookies this year. We aren’t flying blind like last year, making it up as we go along. We know what needs to be done, and we know how to do it. I can honestly say that I walked out of that building last night feeling comfortable about our situation. Am I nervous? Sure. But there are a few things I know not to do this year.

One, I’m not counting on anyone but myself. Especially friends. A society where someones word is their bond in long dead. I no longer count on anything unless it’s physically happening.
Two, kids are kids. And having a bunch of kids working for you, sucks. Last year I was the bad cop. I was the one who yelled at the kids when they screwed up. At least when it was bad enough that it needed to come from me instead of Tony. I will admit though, that was kind of fun.
Three, we are going to have a good time, because we always have a good time. That’s the best part about partnering with these guys. No matter what the job is, no matter how hard the workload is, we always have fun.

So today I work at Rayl. I leave here around 4:30, drive home, hop on the treadmill for a few minutes, take a quick shower, then leave again. Pick up some Red Bulls and go to work. This will be my regiment for the next month and a half. It’s exhausting. The vright side is that we’re only going to be open Thurs, Fri and Sat this year. This gives us more time to get things done on the off days.
