Cool link of the day can be found by clicking here . Neat dictionary of cockney slang and dirty words for your next trip to london.
Spent last night out here at Bert's bar with a few friends, seeing Triple Lindy and drinking PBR - awesome time. Nothing like hippies dancing to bluegrass. Sara bailed, but we had a good time anyway. No awesome links today, I feel like crap and my throat is sore - send medical donations via paypal.

Below are two photos from the house that we are currently working on for these guys and the trim turned out incredible. Enjoy, and feel free to contact me if you want this kind of stuff for your house. Be forewarned that the trim alone in this house (4000 square feet) was 30 grand for the contractor.
Try to use at LEAST one of these in a conversation tonight

I love crack and crackheads - who would want to spend their sunday doing fun things - I personally, would much rather clean the broken glass out of my truck seats where some jackass decided to smash it. Pic (self explanatory) included rusty pipe used to break into truck. thanks to these guys they didn't get anything valuable except my XM controller and my winch remote.

Below is 22 Orr's Court - my own little crackshack in the ghetto. I signed the final contract on it today, and should have the deal in place by tomorrow. It took long enough, but I think this might be the one - I am hoping to close by april, as it is getting out of a suit to quiet title, and should be done around then. Once i get that done, I want one of these dogs, a new wetsuit, and a fishing pole. Still waiting for donations to the crackshack fund. Click here to donate. (dcraw6782@aol.com) your initials will be carved on any building supplies you help buy, and will be preserved in the house for all eternity. I swear. really.

So I might have actually pulled off buying a house. I got a call from the realtor today, and think I got a house for 57K. Buying it is not going to be a problem, but fixing it will present a unique challenge - I'm young and starving and need to buy lumber, paint and cinderblocks. Click here or here for donation ideas to the "darwin delapidated crackshack repair fund"
Pictures to come later, and rest assured, the renovations will be fully documented and blogged to the nth degree.
Dad (inside story for those on the know) is out of the woods and doing well. Thank you to everyone and anyone (especially Daniel) who helped out. That included the nurse who got me the orange juice friday evening.
damn, its cold here.

New job, working here otherwise known as "milfville". doing trim and cabinet work in million dollar homes. pretty fun, VERY educational, and for now, it pays the bills. Still trying to buy a little house - negotiating back and forth with the buyer. Going out of town for the weekend, more when I get back. click here to be entertained. Police siren in the background, gotta go.

Mt. Pleasant wackjob
True story. I went to running speed workshop today with my buddy steve. After getting my ass run into the ground from 400 meter intervals, there was a bit of standing around. One of those randoms that seem to hang around to talk at people came up to me, and started talking about bikes. standard. we then started talking about dogs and bikes - he told me that you could "just take your bike and hit the dog with it". hmmm OK - then - I swear he had a straigt face - he told me that he hit a GUY'S CAR with his bike after the guy came too close at a stoplight. He then described the gash that a chainring will leave in an SUV. and he (wackjob) looks like colin quinn, and acts like Tweak. I attract these types somehow. God help me.

this is what I would like to do to the jackass who cut me off the other day. Tourons.

Brits. Amazing.
Sooo, yesterday was a whipping, but I learned a ton. I spent some of the morning on ebay listing a few more of my items and then had to go meet the better half at Lowes to pick out tile for her bathroom. After which I got a job, and then went down to the county building to find local foreclosure properties with Mark.
I then went to look at houses, and think i found a beater to fix up. (sorry no pix as of yet). I discovered from the real estate agent that the house had title problems.
Off to the probate court and the RMC to find out what was the matter.
After all this, I felt like this but had to go do more cost stuff on the house.
hit the gym, read some of this book (which is awesome by the way) and then passed out. I am still tired the next day.
damn.

Originally uploaded by dcraw6782.
after suffering through a post-bar bike ride with the local club, I was hit by the desire to sleep somewhere cool, so I went out to Folly this afternoon to catch a nap, stare at the waves, and veg out. This is what i woke up to
First Photo
Ok, i think i have this down. 10 bucks to anyone (besides sara )who can guess what this photo is.
ahh, yes, having girls around is good.
New Years
Ok, learning the ins and outs of blogging. Photos are currently uploading, and I will figure out a way to get them on here.
So, some background - since most of the people reading this probably know me, here it is in a nutshell.
Just sold my half of my first business, which Bob and I started with the ebay cab. Bob now owns the company, and it is managed by Josh, a friend of his.
Houses: dear god, this is the most frustrating thing I have ever done. As anyone who lives around good ol' Chas knows, the real estate market is fierce as a school of pirhanas in springtime. Houses here are expensive, and plagued by title problems and legal disputes. Many of the houses here have been handed down through generations with no legal documentation, and the probate process is over a year long.
the latest house that I lost was 381 square feet, yes, you read that right, and was listed for 65 thousand dollars. you can also buy crack around the corner. Jesus.

New Years Day, 2005
Sooo, decided to try a blog for the new years.
First entry - 32 miles on the bike this morning, fueled by cheap vodka and rebull, with recoveries by Andre champagne. I didn't win the sprints.
Spent my first new years in Charleston at this bar, seeing these guys.
Because Waldo is a bitch, he didn't come up here, but we had a good time anyway.
Evidence of this can be found as soon as I can figure out how the hell to post pictures on this stupid web log.
