So, thanks to XT4 – I’m it and it is my turn to spill 7 things about myself. I guess just random things that you may or may not know about me.
1) I wear sweat pants or shorts 7 days a week 365 days a year -- thankfully, I work for myself. I won't eat at a restaurant that has a dress code...
2) I only shave when my stubble begins to itch and then I just use a hair trimmer -- no razors.
3) I’m a water nut – not the drinking water, but the Oceans, the Great Lakes, etc. We have a cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan where we spend the majority of our summers. We have a 32 ft Trawler that we also keep in Sturgeon Bay, WI and spend probably 30-40 days/nights per summer on the boat. In 2006 we spent two months and 900 miles cruising to the North Channel (one of the top 10 places to cruise a boat in the world). All our vacations involve the Ocean – outside of Texas/Alaska/Hawaii, we have been to all the states that touch the ocean.
4) I'd cancel all my phones if I didn't have a Business -- even then I don't answer it often...
5) I've used the Internet to create multiple businesses -- not Internet based businesses, but used the Internet to research the business ideas. It worked pretty good seeing that I have been "semi-retired" for the last 7+ years.
6) Thanks to the teachings of my Dad, I have become a master MacGyver – there is very little that I can’t fix – sometimes with duck tape and staples, but it’ll work. Thanks to my Mom's teachings, I'm also very good with my money -- "it isn't how much money you HAVE/MAKE, it is HOW much you spend that matters".
7) I have spent the last 19 years with my sole mate and best friend -- and I compete in IronMan's to help extend the years remaining with her.
So there you go, not too exciting…

I thought this was awesome man! I'll have more peace of mind if we hit up some long rides this summer - if Ol' Blue goes awol, you'll be there to fix it up with some bubble gum and paper clips -
Wow!! Your my hero!! I think we all want to be that person. Don't shave, no phones and short. How do you top that? Great Blog!!
Some really nice thoughts. For 7, not quite at 19 years myself, but certainly can understand where you are coming from. :-)
