As usual it was a busy, busy week with work. There were lots of issues which led to us having to change out tools a bunch of times this past week and to top it off I picked up a bit of a head cold on Tuesday and been fighting it ever since. Is it just me or do head colds in the summer seem a lot worse than head colds in the winter?
So work was busy although not as productive as I'd have liked and unfortunately Mr. Market continued to be in a happy mood and didn't give much opportunities for me to put extra capital to work. I did close out my position in Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) and sold about 40% of my position in Lorillard (LO) and I hope to get a write up about those soon but this darn head cold has really worn me out. Other than that my portfolio just continued to churn out dividends as I had three companies pay out this past week. That's the beauty of dividend growth investing. Whether the markets are on fire or dropping like a rock, the dividend checks keep coming from high quality companies.
I'd just like to say thanks to everyone that stopped by, commented and shared posts from Passive-Income-Pursuit this past week. I truly appreciate it all of your continued support and I just hope to reciprocate.

Well this past week was just grinding away in the blistering heat down here in south Texas. Luckily I don't actually work outside but man it was extremely hot. We should be able to finish this well up sometime this weekend and I can't wait...

What a busy last week. Finished one job, had an awesome time at home with my wife, friends, and family, but all good things must come to an end and it was time to head back to work. A bummer, I know, but the wonderful thing is that while I was off...

This past week was very busy for me. It started off with a quick call out on Monday to head back to work. I was hoping to be home at least until Tuesday and maybe until Wednesday, but they got things done at the rig much faster than I expected. I...

It was a pretty busy week for me, although camping was great. Got a little too sunburned but nothing I can't put up with. Of course now I'm sloughing off dry skin like crazy so it's kind of gross. Tuesday I had to head back to work which...
