Well sorry it's been awhile since I've been on and posted anything. Around the holiday season I get pretty busy and involved in doing thingd with my family. So here's the update since the last time I was on. 1) I lost my job, which was an inevitability, due to the end of harvest season. It sucked, I knew it was going to happen but I was hoping I'd had a little bit better run before it ended. The last couple of weeks were wrought with ice storms and snow making it impossible to get any work done. Now I never was very good at saving money up until I started working for there. I finally was able to get get my shit together and actually save up my money. That is up until my truck broke down. Then I spent well over half of what I had saved getting my truck up and running. Then because I was stuck in my home town over the weekend waiting for parts to come in I got bored and spent the rest partying with friends I hadn't seen in awhile. This all happened over Halloween weekend. I realized after a fourhundred dollar bartab that that probably was one of my dumber moments. Well after it seemed we never got enough work for me to even remotely starting saving back even pocket change. Now I'm sufferng for it. 2) I found a new job which I started on the second. It is working at a school for troubled teen boys ages 12-18. These boys come to school here for variety of reasons fromm drugs to expulsion from school. My position is called "youth coach", and what I do is basically watch over these boys and make sure they don't run away, get into fights with one another and help them work out their problems. I enjoy it especially since I belonged here when I was in school and if I can help keep these boys from making some of the same stupid decisions I did that ended me up in jail then maybe I'll have accomplished something. 3) MY baby is back in the hospital again, damn truck was running like a dream and then some sensor went out and now she's down again. I've had 'er for a few years and been doing little things to her beyond just routine maintenance to keep her going and to make up for the fact that I bought her used and whoever had her before didn't take care of her at all. I mean when I changed the oil after I got her it was sludge. I changfed spark plugs and plug wires and there wasn't any metal sticking out of the porcelain of the plug. It's kind of like going behind someone at work who doesn't do their job so you're doing the work of two people but you can never seem to get ahead. Everyone keeps telling me I need to sell it and get something else, but she's durable, most generally reliable, four wheel drive, and has never quit on me when i absolutely needed her to pull through. You know kind of what I'd want from a good woman if I could ever find one. Someone to stand by me in the times that I absolutely need it and never leave when the going gets tough. Well those are my updates I'll holler at y'all later. Preston
