This was another sunrise I was able to catch this past week. It was absolutely gorgeous and the picture doesn't do the majesty of it justice. I love how the rays are lighting up the clouds.
This past week was crazy. We had all sorts of issues with work, none related to my stuff, and then Wednesday afternoon I finally got to go home. Or so I thought. I made the 10 hour drive back home and then Thursday afternoon I get a phone call. Turns out the company we were working for changed their mind and wanted to use our tools to finish the well instead of the other company that they had been using. So early Friday morning after about 24.5 hours at home I got back in my car to drive another 10 hours and get everything ready again. What a mess! I can't say I was too happy about that and was very close to telling them there's no way I can go back out there. But like the good little worker bee that I am, plus since I'm the sole provider for our household, I grudgingly drove back out there. It should hopefully be for less than a week but you never know how things will go out here and you could easily be 5 hours from going home and then end up being gone for another 3 weeks.
I got some writing done this past week with two stock analyses going up on Seeking Alpha but for the most part I was doing data collection. Data to catch up on my own finances from the previous month or two and also to start being able to write some more stock analyses. I've got several lined up but now I need to spend the time writing them. It's good to be back into a routine and back to "normal" and I plan on writing much more often that I have been so far this year.

I'm back home now and now that means it's back to the grind with our son, Luke. They had him medically paralyzed for about a week to let his body relax and build up some strength and lifted that on Thursday. The unfortunate side effect of...

Well I'm sure you noticed that I didn't get a lot of writing done this week. That wasn't for a lack of "want to" but just a matter of lack of time. Monday at the hospital with Luke, Tuesday I headed back to work, Wednesday and...

Another week of being home for a while and then heading back to work. Although I think I'm glad to be back at work so I can finally get some rest. My wife and I were busy just about the whole time that I was home. Saturday was spent painting,...

We're now into week 3 of February which is crazy. This past week was extremely busy for me between finishing up a job, going home for a few days, and coming back to work to start a new job up. It's good to be back at work though and have things...
