Mortages and Motorcycles


Here is a picture of Collin's new Motorcycle....he is very excited....it is really a nice bike....it is a Kawasaki Concours and was named Sport Touring Bike of the Year last year...after much thought this bike offered the best of all worlds for Collin...he always wanted a sporty looking bike....but also a comfortable bike that he can take on road trips.....this bike accomplishes this quite well...it handles very well....is comfortable....and sporty....he also got a great deal on the bike.....it is a brand new bike that didn't sell last year and paid quite a bit less than what used 2008's are going for.....and this one is brand new with 13 miles on it.....12 of which Collin put on it
We also closed on Dylan's house early this morning......very exciting and lots of work ahead of us over the next 2 weeks until the tenant moves in....lots of painting...cleaning...fixing floors....and yard work for us.....we also have contractors coming in to do tile work and refinishing work in the bathroom and the kitchen.....the house is really quite a nice home all the work we are doing make s it sound like its a dog...but its not...we just want to put some nice finishing touches on the place and some needed updates...
Both Collin and I had a very busy day.....Collin mowed 8 lawns and planted 12 raspberry bushes and all the strawberries...I worked for 3 hours at the office....planted tomatoes....and I planted right at 20 flower boxes and planters and got all the mess from them cleaned up....and somehow we still found time to test drive and buy a Motorcycle and close on Dylan's house....
the rest of the weekend will be very busy....tomorrow Collin works and when he comes home on Sunday he will need to refinish the hardwood floors at the rental and start painting in the basement....tomorrow I will get the vegetable garden planted and supplies picked up for all the work to be done at the rental ...and preview a handful of properties for a client on Sunday.....Sunday I will show properties and then help Collin with the rental ....I am a little worried about our time frame to get everything done on the rental with only 2 weeks because things always are harder and seem to take longer than you think.....but I also know how hard we work and feel confident that we will figure out how to make it all work if problems arise...
can't wait until June 1st get here and we can rest........for a moment or at least until the next project
