I had a boring day in court today with the whistleblower case , now I have a few things to do around the house before heading out back to catch some fresh trout for dinner

Hi there... LOL- great profile. 
I'm steaming fresh trout for dinner , and I caught it in my backyard 
All the local fisherman who have fished the river that runs through my property have been courteous and not left a mess , hopefully things will stay that way so I wont have to put up barbed wire fencing .

Speak for yourself bubba, I'd love to eat goose for dinner every night. Shit, even if I got tired of it, they make excellent gifts, and you could even sell 'em to people (maybe even online if you pack 'em on dried ice).

I don't expect to make anything more then a flat $25-30k fee on the first few (until I start financing myself), but the investors stand to make easily $75-$150k depending on neighborhood and house size. Brand new homes, especially non tract housing, in the Tacoma area sell for just under $300k, and that's just a basic 3-1 without a garage. The closer you get to Seattle, the more they sell for (hell, a piece of land in Kent just 20 min south of Seattle starts around $100k) and a cheap lot in Seattle is in the ball park of $200-300k.
That's a far cry from San Antonio where you spend as much on the foundation as you do on the land.

We stayed overnight at the cottage last night , and will do the same tonight , it will be easier for me to head to NYC for work in the morning from here , gonna take a quick break from my consulting work to relax in the sun for a couple of hours now
Well my opening day fishing plans were dashed by a consulting customers emergency , now I might take two hours to catch lunch before starting on another project , I've got too much work coming in right now

damn customers...yet $ cant be turned down

I've been watching the DEP stock trout in the river that runs through my backyard , and purely by accident a bucket or two fell into my pond , so I had to set up a broadcast feeder to keep those hatchery trout alive until they make it into my steamer The pond is still being slowly filled at this point , I have been...

Yeah, I need to look into something more then a fucking space heater. But the thing is, I was up pretty late (and here I am wide awake at 6:30am already) typing up a preliminary plan and I figure by the end of week two I'd have the electrician do the electrical, or just enough to run a security system and a couple electrical heaters. Until then I'd need cold weather clothes and a space heater off of a generator (Lowe's sells a Troy Bilt generator for $700 that's the best value I have EVER seen in a generator - it's OHV, will run all day on a tank of gas, and has more then enough output to run tools for a three man crew as well as a decent size portable heater).
I just ran some numbers right now and things are actually looking pretty good. I'd only need to get a total investment of like $100k or so to get it done (assuming the land itself was financed on monthly payments). I think I might even know someone for the third spot on the crew I want to put together - he's this guy I met last time I was up there. Some Mexican dude from the same part of San Antonio as me who knew a lot of the same people as me - I just happened to run into him at my sister's wedding. Crazy. Even crazier, he was the only Mexican I've met so far in Seattle, and he just happened to have grown up two miles from me.

Oh yeah, but I'd have to pay that guy as an employer, which would mean a business license and all that shit (the bond for a general contractor's license in Washington is 12k alone).
Yuck ..... I'm back in Connecticut , but at least it is a sunny day , back to court on Tuesday to begin wrapping up the whistleblower case , I will also being commuting to NYC for work again on days when I'm not required to be in court , on top of all that I have an overload of consulting jobs lined up with...

Sounds like fun

no icecream truck.. window is more like it.
Baby sitter. (ok, so maybe it's really one word, but you get the drift). Just consider if ten bucks an hour is worth it?
Have a great weekend if you can Mr. Man. Get some running around naked time in.
