Apparently life out of school is more hectic time wise than I would have guessed.  July 18th till now??  What kind of slack blogger am I?  Here is at least an update since then.

My truck was stolen from our driveway about 2 and a half weeks ago.  The Sheriffs Deputy that responded said it was probably stolen for a drug run and chances were good they would find it.  Not 24 hours later I got a call at 2am that they had found it in the next county.  Lindy and I went and picked it up the next day.  The body was undamaged, there was some glass damage though.  They stole one of my ham antennas, the in dash radio, one of the two jumper cables in the bed, and the 3 cases of Green Tea I was storing inside the truck.  The odd thing is that the stuff they stole was worthless compared to the 2 ham radio’s they left on the floor board (aprox. $1400 between the 2 radios).  They broke the key cylinder but my key still works to crank it.  I have since added a home brewed anti-theft feature to the truck (not talking about it here – sorry).  The insurance has been great about everything and I just made an appointment to get the glass fixed Monday.  For such a bad thing to have happen, it worked out really well I think.

I found a job posting at Clemson for the Zest Quest program with one of the locations being Beaufort county.  I sent my resume to the contact person and hopefully my experiences with the Health Rocks! program will go a long way towards getting me that job (if the Beaufort County position is still open).  I also applied for 2 High School teaching positions.  A social studies position at Hilton Head High, and a math one at Bluffton High School.  I have a feeling that the teaching positions will pay better, but I’m just waiting to see what happens with all of them.  If I am offered more than one, that won’t be a terrible thing to have to chose which job I want in this economy.

Holy cow the heat lately.  I have been slowly working on my yard projects due to the 100-120°F heat indexes over the past few weeks.  I think someone said that a few records have been set even.  The rain has been sadly avoiding our house as well.  The one time it did rain though, we discovered 2 new leaks in the roof bringing our total roof leaks up to 3.  One of the new ones is probably easily fixable I just need to get up on the roof and look for it.  The other two are on the rubber flat roof and I’m not sure about how to go about fixing them.  I will post up some pictures when I go about fixing them though – since we aren’t tring to sell this house I can post them.  The roof leak in the trailer was not something that I wanted to post on the internet during the selling process.

I will endeavor to be better about posting to the blog, I have been decent about the banana pup pictures though so check that page.
