Hubba Bubba
A few weeks ago I started blogging regularily, and I admit I like doing it. I’m also blown away at how many of you are also reading all the hubba-bubba that I write. My website tech guys have also noticed and they feel I should switch my blogging to the more popular WordPress software for even greater exposure. So stay tuned for the switch. I’ll show you the way!For those of you new to my blogs, I own several websites including www.mobilehomerepair.com, and I own a mobile home parts store in Aberdeen, South Dakota. For some neat behind-the-scenes stuff on running a website & the other things I do, be sure you’re a subscriber to my blog!
Late last week I met with my tv cable guys about the commercials for my store. I told them my ad has run for 2 weeks and not one person has said they’ve seen it. So I suggested we cancel the ad campaign. They claimed I need to give it more time and to change the frequency and timing of my ads. They told me if I kept with the campaign another month, they’d give me 60 free ads. They are going to run the ads on 2 stations at 10 a day for 6 days. So another month it is!
Meanwhile we keep adding product lines to our store. Today I bought a line of plastic pex plumbing fittings. Should be able to sell them for half the price of brass fittings, and they won’t corrode in our city’s overtreated water. And we of course hope they won’t break and crack in time like the old plastic fittings used in poly pipe years ago.
This week my 10-year-old son started summer baseball practice. I think he’ll have a respectible team. He hopes to do some pitching as well as playing shortstop or one of the bases. First baseball game is Monday.
Today we also had the first meeting of a club soccer team which he was hand-picked to join. No practices for either sport today because of rain. We got about an inch.
Our get-together a week ago went well. Thanks to a drizzly day, didn’t get a chance to break-in the new deck furniture. So instead I put the extra leafs in the kitchen table and we had our get-together inside.
Got my new home-office furniture set-up. Still need to move in all the pencils and paperclips. Check out the attached pic. One side for me, one side for my wife. We also added a tv next to our computers. Each tv can also double as a second monitor. We each live on our computers, so this set-up absolutely rocks! Kind of a way to be together yet have our own space (and be able to watch our own tv shows!)
Hmmm, this blog is getting long, eh. Perhaps I could shorten these by blogging more often. Something to ponder . . . .
