Friend's,
I look like I got hit with a few Sound Bombs since last Friday.
Let's review what I have done in my life and expect out of my remaining life!
I am about to run out of time to as close to 100 % as I can due to one of the most if not the most barbaric ADHD training programs we have here in Alabama or maybe the Country where they use hearing as a Weapon when it is one our most important senses.
I consider the sense of smell to be pretty important and taste to be pretty important as well not to mention Eyesight pretty important which if not destroyed by God's mighty Sword of sound waves or light which travels at such a high speed it would be most likely the weapon of choice against his enemies across the Universe maybe beyond who are we to know!
I walked into this house last night and it smelled like Dog Piss and Dog Shit after Visiting with my Son for his Birthday only to get hit some kind of bull shit that put me in a daze that wore on and off even when I was in the bed.
I woke up this morning after several days of fighting some people
That is why when they sounded trumpets on me after a little over 11 year's after I began taking "White Crosses" on the Damn legal side by way of simply thinking that I needed energy to finish an 18-20 hour day in a One man operation on Battleship Marine on the Causeway!
Southern Foundation Drilling Company of which I owned Stock and was Operations manager after my Dad was Injured in 1985 on a job I should have worked more but I get an answer on one question from my mother that I probably never asked for was what is the average daily operations expense figure x 365 divided x 52 divided x 12 less 104 Days.
I wanted to run 3 Crews Continually across all 10 Southern States. I personally worked in 6.
At Battleship Marine I needed that same figure in my mind but I almost made it work without remembering that I had the initial figure in my Business Plan. I just didn't take the time or know to break it down on a monthly basis.
Dobbins Homes to become Dobbins and then Dukes after January 1st 2000, Elizabeth Homes of Montgomery and Rhinetta Homes of Biloxi were all owned by Two men and their Wives.
Bill Dobbins and Charles Dukes.
Bill Dobbins would eventually own Dobbins Homes.
Charles Dukes would turn over the operation of Dukes Homes in Spanish Fort to Hayne Dukes and Rhinetta Homes already in Operation when I joined the Team in July 1996!
When I joined the Team the prior record for total for completions at Dobbins Homes was 60 in 1994.
Dan O. Garroway sold 40 in 1995.
Dan and I had reached 80 by 1998 and 1999!
I sold 3 for Elizabeth Homes.
Dan and I had the contracts to do it - reach 100 maybe more completions plus whatever number of homes Randy Dobbins the Superintendent and Electrical Contractor had under construction going into 2001.
I sold another 24 for Hayne Dukes in Robertsdale. I don't know what Dans figure was in Spanish Fort and to be honest we hated our separation from each other which would only last a few months shortly after the NEW Model Home was Completed!
I sold 8 in January.
I put in 80 hours a Week in 1999!
I left in the fall of 2000 to begin preparations to open my own Sales Office in Daphne.
The Office was Opened on July 15th 2001 after I had studied for and completed the Licensing Exam and Preparations to begin Operations.
I put in the Standard 108 Hours plus even after my wife began working with me January 1st 2002!
We completed our record year in 2004 of 24! It should have been close to 40!
I needed it on a weekly basis or even a daily as available in Quickbooks for Contractors.
I have the software that was never installed because my bookkeeper that worked in house resigned a couple of months after Hurricane Ivan.
The office was at home. I ran the daily bookkeeping from milk crate filing cabinets and a briefcase from 10 pm - 12 pm!
I have the software that was never installed because my bookkeeper that worked in house resigned a couple of months after Hurricane Ivan. Leaving me to make a crucial mistake.
It was turned back over to my poor wife without having had her properly trained by him prior to his leaving on the updates to that same program installed prior his Hiring.
I should have turned it over to our accountant in Mobile but it would have added additional time which was in short supply on the 24 hour clock after Ivan.
I needed every second. We collected work completed by Noon on Wednesday and Paid Out by Noon on Friday!
10-14 jobs in 3 or 4 Counties with 20-30 Contracts on the backlog or within weeks of being on the backlog were pretty much where I stood in the fall of 2004.
My God! I put in a 126 hours a week at Classic Southern Homes, LLC and I remember thinking after Jamaica in the Spring of 2004 and after Hurricane Ivan that I would have to step it up a notch.
In Fact that was exactly the reason we went to Gatlinburg in 2003 and 2004. I booked the Jamaica trip as a Christmas Gift in 2003 but I needed the Rest!
I really don't know why anyone bitched at me about how many hours that I worked and I wanna take a swing at it again!
This sounds terrible but I would like to cut it 80 hours on a NEW project combined while continuing operating Battleship Marine!
Unfortunately some people came in here and messed up the few days of my life so bad that I didn't even get a chance to sit down and watch the Alabama game from Kick-Off to Completion without Interruption after holding me in a daze until 4:30.
The plan was to watch it at my Son's and I did call him and I did make it by 2nd half.
Monday I started the day off ready to put out a display for the 1st time on Monday in months with Medicine still in my pocket and got gang tackled.
I have been upset ever since and will be for the rest of my life that I have to be told what to do to do what I obviously have the Discipline to do for God Sakes if I hold it too 80!
I am working on it slowly but surely if my doctor will cooperate.
I sat in the Burger King parking lot for a few minutes yesterday next to his office and actually made into his parking lot this morning but I just couldn't bring myself to do it because of the dosing.
It's too low for anyone in my physical condition.
