thanks for the encouraging words guys... I'm a pretty strong-personality type of person, and this kid & I had a little showdown last year, but I stuck to my guns & made him kinda straighten up, so he respects me & understands that I'm not going to put up with any bullshit....

but the way I see it, I live a very charmed life. I mean, shit... I own my own business and make a pretty decent living doing what a lot of people do just for fun, I have a boat & surfboards to play with, and I generally have a lot of fun. I can share a little of that with him and give him something to look forward to, and give him a reason not to act like a little asshole... lol...

His mother texted me this morning and said he's so excited about working with me that she had a hard time getting him to go to bed last night. Hopefully I can leverage that to get him flyin' straight. :)

anyway, this lovely piece of cedar is going to be some kind of sales trophy for corona beer... let's do this...
