TAX DAY, oh no…. since these crooked politicos do such a lousy job of spending our tax dollars, isn’t it our civic duty to give them as little of it as possible.

Finished up a ton o’ work last few days. Been on a good stretch last couple weeks really. Need to take a break soon, but it’s nice making nice $$$ for the ro…adtrip. Business expenses! Several new clients popping up here and there, couple of nice referrals too. Thanks to all!

Really getting a kick out of a few simple sites and affiliate programs that I’ve been dabbling with on the side. I’m crossing my fingers that my purely residual, do-nothing internet income will keep at a steady $1k+/month, and thanks to one recent project just starting to take hold, maybe even double that or more by the end of summer, if his product sales keep chugging nicely. Now, just need to duplicate it…

All clients are also super happy with new hosting packages, website page load speeds, etc. Been learning lots of new SEO tricks. Just last week, I had a website hit consistent first page on google (out of over a million) search results within 72 hours of domain registration, and within 24 hours of submitting sitemaps to search engines.

I have a couple of Chicago White Sox rookies renting out the house while they’re at Spring Training extended camp for a couple months.

Tom Hanks, a little nutty yet funny on Letterman show, but wtf, he doesn’t even know what year, even the decade, that his VW syncro was made in?

Drove pedal to metal San Luis Obispo to PHX in 11 hrs, plus 3-hr nap. Starter on the bus died, sucks cuz fairly new rebuilt Bosch, but of course, the starting-stopping 50 times in the Burning Man line was no bueno.

So I had to Little Miss Sunshine her all the way back to Phoenix. Lots of laughs, rollin’ hot, what a great endo summer…

so I survived Burning Man, a life changing event that everyone should do at least once… I’ll be hanging out at cabin for a little decompression…

Lake Davis cabin

The dogs had a blast jumping into the Plover River at Iverson Park in Stevens Point, Wisconsin…

still enjoying the midwest heat, humidity, and mosquitos!

The roadtrip is going well. just finishing up a week at a family reunion in northern wisconsin. lots of fun, but cool weather. not bad to me… my dog Baba got a few porcupine quills in her mouth and nose that we pulled out by the campfire. She also has a tennis ball lump in her shoulder from where she tore a muscle while swimming. Heading to the Rothbury music festival for the weekend.

arrived in northern Wisconsin, and was instantly eaten alive by mosquitos…

Saw two great Phish show this past weekend at Alpine Valley. Lots of fun. The bus, dogs, and I survived the 2,500+ mile roadtrip with no problems.

Day 1 of the hippie bus roadtrip was a blast .. finally left Phoenix 2am on Sunday. Hit a jackrabbit. Baba almost met the stink end of a skunk. Bus running fast and loose… Arrived in Fort Collins, CO at 9am the next morning. 900 miles was a good push.
