One Of The Wisest Calls I Ever Made

carpet cleanerI was pretty excited about moving into a new house with my girlfriend, but money was going to be tight so I needed to make sure I got all of my one thousand dollar security deposit back from the apartment I was living in. I had had a few parties over the course of living there, and the thing I was most worried about was the carpet. It had taken a beating with some red wine, beer, and cat urine. I was trying to clean it myself, when my girlfriend just laughed and told me to call a carpet cleaner.

I’m not sure why I hadn’t already thought of it, it’s not like I enjoy cleaning or something. I guess I didn’t want to fork over money for something I was sure would work. Sara explained to me that they could lift pretty much any stain out of carpet, and the small expense now would help guarantee my deposit’s safe return. She sold me on the idea by using that logic, and the next a carpet cleaning service was at my apartment getting it in good shape.

I had no issues with the landlord and my security deposit was returned in full. I am happy to report the company I went with cleaned my carpets very well. My girlfriend was right, I spent a few bucks to save a lot. Landlords will often just rip up dirty carpet and replace it. This is what generally costs you all of your deposit. Play it safe next time and hire someone to clean for you.

The Best Purchase Of My Life

motorcyclesRecently I was shopping for motorcycles when I came across a Honda that I fell in love with immediately. There were many reasons I wanted a bike, for one it was going to be cheaper going back and forth to work, at least in the summer. But let’s be honest, this was just an excuse I gave my wife so she’d let me get a new toy. It was time for me to get a new hobby anyway, retirement is right around the corner and I’ll need something to keep me busy.

Motorcycle parts are relatively inexpensive, and I’m pretty handy, so if it needs any work I’ll likely do it myself. The bike is older, so I imagine I’ll be spending some time fixing it up now and then. So far I have been having an absolute blast riding around and getting a feel for the bike. The ride is really smooth, even my wife rides it with no complaints. I am very glad that I decided to go with the bike that I did. Honda’s are supposed to be really reliable, and I want this thing to last me for a while.

Now that I have the bike, my wife and I go for long rides every Sunday. Pretty funny since she told me she’d never even get on the thing. Now she’s going to get a motorcycle license and we’re talking about getting her her own bike. Now that would be a lot of fun. Maybe our retirement won’t be as boring as I thought it was going to be.

A Cow In A Metal Building

As a cow, I have gotten used to certain things. I know that I am always going to be covered in mud and surrounded by flies, but you know what? I kind of like it. I am not ashamed of who I am, and I think the farmer is proud of me for all the great milk I provide him with. It started to get a little uncomfortable last winter in the old barn however. There were constant drafts and during a bad snow storm the barn let huge drifts blow inside. All of us animals were miserable. General Steel

Thankfully our farmer cares a lot about us and he decided to do something about it right away. He contacted General Steel and had a brand new farm built, this time it would be a steel building instead of the traditional wood. You see a barn from General Steel is guaranteed structurally for fifty years. I can’t read or anything, I just heard the farmer explaining it to one of the workers. Even though I’m just a dumb cow I can tell that this building is solid. So far this winter I haven’t even noticed when it got below freezing at night. Apparently the new barn was easy to insulate and doesn’t cost very much to keep warm.

Now that we have a brand new barn, all of us animals are really happy. I hear the farmer plans on switching all of his buildings over to metal buildings from General Steel. It sounds like a great plan if you ask me. I mean what’s better than saving money in every step of the building process? If I had my own farm I would certainly be using metal buildings.

Recycling

My name is Jimmy and I have been looking for all kinds of scrap metal these days.  I know it sounds like it would not be that great but scraping metal can make you a pretty good amount of money.  I wish I was able to find some steel though because that is heavy and you get paid by the pound.  I have hung out behind General Steel waiting to see if they have and scraps for me but they use all of their scraps.  IT is a shame because if I was able to get some of their recycled steel I would make so much money.  I drive around all day looking for scrap metal but there has not been that much to find recently.

I think a lot of people are starting to do it and that is killing business for me.  So the more I drive around the more gas I use and that cuts into my profit margin.  I need to find a company that is willing to solely give me their scrap metal.  Then I would not have to worry about someone else getting there and taking what is mine.  I need to call some friends up to see if their companies have any left over metal.  If only I could contact General Steel and get their leftovers then I would probably be rich.  I want to be able to buy a new truck because the one I am using now is just about to die on me.

Is it seaworthy?

I am the captain of a recently built ship and I believe that it will be one of the prettiest ships in the United States Navy.  Its hull was built with General Steel and is strong as it could possibly be.  This is important because if we ever go in to battle I want my ship to be the best out there. This new hull is so thick I do not think anything could puncture it out on the open sea.  Obviously, if a missile or torpedo hit it we would probably be in trouble but rocks or ice burgs would not puncture this hull. I am pretty nervous about taking command of this ship because I have never had my own ship before.

This is my first assignment as a commanding officer and I would be lying if I said I was not a little terrified. I have never been the captain of so many men before.  I really hope that the men listen to me and obey my orders. I have taken leadership classes for the past six months to prepare for this day.  I know that I have received leadership training while in officer school but I feel that I need much much more in the future.  I am going to try as hard as I possibly can to make myself into a better officer.  The fact that our ship’s hull is made from General Steel really helps my confidence out because I know that we are not going to sink.

My Parent’s Just Installed a new LED display car stereo

My parent’s just installed a new LED display car stereo in their car. I am really excited about it because I get to use this car. The other car they have is too nice for me to borrow. They would not let me even think about driving it. But this car, my mom has had for a while and they let me drive it around when I have to get to work or practice on the weekends.

My parents are both music fans. I was sort of surprised to find out that they installed the car stereo; they usually do not spend money on things like this. But when they came home from running errands they told me. My sister and I went out to check it out. My father and mother told us to take a ride and check it out. My sister and I loved it. We had no idea how different the quality of sound came out from an upgraded stereo system compared to the factory standard that the car came with.

When we got back home we raved about it to our mom and dad. It seemed like my mother and father were proud of their purchase. They told us that they noticed that the speakers were cracking and about to blow out. They stopped at a car accessory store and were in luck. The store was having a sale on LED display car stereo systems. My parents got this upgrade for a steal and I could tell they were happy with it.

Steel Market

During the great American recession no industry was hit harder than the General Steel market.  Steel has always been a big part of the United State’s economy.  People have been building buildings and bridges and other structures out of steel for over one hundred years. During the boom years there were no other industries that were able to compete with the amount of money the steel industry was making. However, once the housing bubble burst and the bottom dropped out of the economy the steel industry suffered. The once issue with the market is that it is dependent on growth which in turn creates a need for building.  When there was no money for anyone to build anything there was no need for steel.  The Chinese growth was still going strong but they have their own steel companies so it was hard for the US industries to penetrate that market.

This slowdown has lasted for about four years but there seems to be signs of it letting up in recent months.  Demand for steel has been at its highest since its pre-recession levels.  There are many different companies expanding such as General Steel which has been very successful and wants to continue to grow.  I for one am  very glad that the steel industry is recovering because it employs a lot of people and this will keep them working and off unemployment.  My main hope is that growth is so good  the US will over take China as the world leader in steel production.

Friend’s family is opening up a Chinese restaurant

I am so excited that my friend’s family has decided to open their own Chinese cuisine restaurant. Our neighborhood is lacking delicious Chinese restaurants. I never ordered take out from these restaurants. There never was a need to, I could just go over to my best friend’s house and have it there. Well, I am glad that they are going to do this. My best friend asked me if I could help his family find decently priced web hosting.

I was more than happy to help them since this is sort of in my field of expertise. All the work I do is online and in the cloud. All I really had to do was get different quotes for my friend’s family to consider. I am glad that they are deciding to go with a web page. Many of the take out places we have do not have web pages. They market with their print menus and deliver them door to door in the neighborhood. That old school way of doing things still works, especially for small mom and pop take out restaurants. But with the internet the way it is now. Many people do not keep those take out menus anymore. If they are in the mood for take out food they hope on the internet and look up restaurants. Restaurants with web hosting are going to be the most successful in the search options. People will go a head and click and browse the first site the comes up. Decision made for the customer and a benefit to the restaurant.
