Money and Finance
This past weekend was wonderful and relatively cheap as well. My wife and I went to the Museum of Natural Science and spent a solid 4 hours walking around and taking everything in. I've been trying to get back to the museum for awhile but other things just kept coming up. They have a great permanent exhibit that covers the Eqyptians which was very interesting. There was actually a mummy that you could see and it was amazing to think that after thousands of years the hair could still be preserved. We capped our time at the museum with a 40 min show at the planetarium that was set to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon". I don't do drugs and that was still pretty trippy to watch.
To end the night we just crossed the street to the outdoor theater there where the Houston Symphony was putting on a free concert. We had great weather and all in all it was a great day. Unfortunately, the dreaded work phone call came around 4 pm on Sunday which was a huge bummer. Hopefully I should get to see my wife though this weekend so it's not too bad.

After several issues with the rig and parts breaking down, they finally got our tools out of the hole so I could finish up and get on the road. I'll be gone camping with my wife and some friends this weekend and the weather is supposed to be perfect....

Hi Everyone, One of my goals this year was to save as much as possible but to live life. My wife and I have a goal of traveling as much as possible before we have kids. A few reasons for this: 1. It will be cheaper. 2. We...
