I'm Back

Some recent changes in my life may afford me with the time I once had to participate in the family blog. I won't bore you with the details but I was offered a 40 hr a week job. At first I laughed then I looked at the dismal trend of business over the last 2 years, the time I have dedicated, and the outlook for 09-10 and it looked like a no brainer so I accepted. I start tomorrow. I find myself looking forward to it and the changes it will present, on the surface it looks like a vacation compared to the last few years of Harris Builders but we will see. Other recent news is during a recent wind storm 65mph+ the entire roof blew off my 1 story barn, it is completely flattened with the exception of the masonry walls. It blew so hard at some point that it lifted the entire roof structure off and into a violent collision with the silo which was damaged as well, the parts that didn't hit the silo crashed into a phone pole which caused a chain reaction of pole failures all the way to my house. Fortunately the house and the 2 story barn were not damaged and no one was hurt. The aftermath looks like the footage of the trailer park after the tornado story seen on TV. I intend to see to it someone lives up to that "Like a good neighbor" slogan but that remains to be seen as well. I may have a rough couple of months with a job transition and repairing my barn but I hope to regain my spot on the blog and contribute more regularly.
