Time out

The July schedule is out! No more forced overtime!! THis means that I will only be working my 48 hour shifts. This will give me lots of time off the rest of the summer. Good thing as I think my business interests are going to get busy.
We leave for Oregon on July 7th and will be there for a week. That will be fun. I am looking forward to it. I love to fly and to share new experiences with my wife and kids. None of us have ever been to the west coast. We are going to go to the beach, Mt. Hood and all over the region. I hope to find the Rolloff ranch where they film little people, big world. They are a family who have 3 little people and 2 regular sized people. Their show is very interesting.
Before we leave though, I have the task of setting up for and running sound for the Pittsburg 4th of July celebration. 2 days of sun and loud music should do wonders for me. I have 2 good friends who have some knowledge about sound equipment helping me. I am hopeful that by doing this gig, it will secure future gigs of similar type and also that it will get me more of them at other places. All the gear is paid for, so profit potential is pretty good. I am always looking to the a better way to support my family. My hope is to be self employed and not reliant on a job to make it. While I like EMS, It may well be time to move on. If I can, I will. I guess we will see. I must admit though, working in Linn County has been pretty easy cheesy. We will see how how things progress. - DJ
