Two Thoughts on Importing

So I am trying to import some items from China… I know what the heck!?!

If you look at the labels on almost everything it is from China, I never saw this until I started this whole process.

Ok. So you want to know what it is? A wind turbine, yes and it is a big one. I just can’t help it it is a good price and it is the same one they sell in the USA for six times the price… Go figure.

The wind turbine at this price will pay the money back in ten months, not bad.

First thought on this is:
Should I learn Chinese? The emails might be much easier to understand and I could learn something at the same time. A lot gets lost in the translation and I have to ask so many questions that they are probably sick of me by now!

Second thought:

I have never done something like this before and I am scared to death they are going to rip me or something will go wrong and I am waiting for the other shoe to drop!!!

If it all works out though I will start importing them to sell through our company. This is a good product and at the right price (Not gouging people) they will save money in the long run and I will continue to be my same ol’ self employed person… company motto… Larry Darrel and Darrel – anything for a buck! LOL

So I will blog about how this adventure in importing goes – the good, the bad or the down right wonderful, you just new I was going to write ugly… hehehe! Think positive 🙂

Have a great Tuesday!

Two Thoughts On Tuesday

Where to begin… We have cleaned out the farm house and have thrown away most things that were never used or had not been used or missed in years. The rest went into the building we have here on the farm. To give you an idea the building is 32 x 100 and it is full of “Stuff”

Thought number one today! Where in the heck did we get all this “Stuff” I would call it something else but I am going to keep it clean. From the front door all the way through is like the mall if you need one or two of something just go to that department and you can find what you are looking for. 25 years of collecting has created one heck of a pile of $#!^

So my next thought is It’s a great idea to rent out the house and keep the farm move into a smaller place and downsize. I am ready to do this but what I see is a catastrophic event unfolding. What do we do with all this. I don’t want to store it. I don’t want to move any of it again… OMG it was the worst ever to move it into the building let alone do it again! Maybe an auction would do. I really need to get my building back so I can do my work and put the tractor and implements inside. I hope nothing breaks as I work the land here or I will have to repair it in the driveway. I guess the thing to do is attack it one area at a time but it’s going to take awhile!

So here I am sitting in the office of the farm looking at all that has to be done and I have to leave to go to work. Our construction business is in full swing it’s that time of year. It’s hard to just walk away with so much to do right here to clean up let alone get the fields planted.

I am sure it will be as good a day as yesterday. Any day one can go to DMV with an out-of-state title missing a number on the VIN and still get a title transferred and walk out in thirty minutes is a good day 🙂 It’s all in how we approach the day at hand so I am thinking positive but still overwhelmed…LOL

Have a great Tuesday, and push my button. I know if my kids can do it so can you… LOL

Two Thoughts

Today is Tuesday and I have so much to do this week I almost don’t know where to begin. Monday was a bear I worked a super long day and I am trying to fix my lap top as I am going to need it next week. I hope I can satisfy all my customers and get to a stopping point so I can do this next job that takes me out of the country. I am going to have to work double time to get it all done and change hats a few times this week.

I was on Google and I went to a webpage and I got a virus on my computer, I know just great. It’s the XP Total Security virus – really annoying and hard to remove.

See, next week I am leaving on Monday for Cabo San Lucas, Mexico… Yes, I am off again to bring a sailboat from there to San Diego, California. I will post Top Sites Tuesday on Sunday and it will resume as usual and I will let everyone know if we will have TST #102 I may be off the coast with no internet.

I am hoping the weather is good, there is nothing worse then a nasty sail north up the coast. One must stay close to land with the ability to hide from bad weather in a cove due to the steady northerly winds that blow and the north swell we will be beating into on our way there. At the longest it should take two weeks to get this done – that is if we have good weather and get to enjoy the trip.

What to bring other then offshore safety gear… I am sure by now it’s super hot down there so I had better bring some shorts and UV outerwear. Ah! I need to break down the heavy fishing pole and bring it just in case. Oh and I need to go to the grocery store for some things you can’t get like good coffee, Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, and some small chocolate donuts, yes I said it, I love those things especially with some hot coffee 🙂

So we leave next Monday on the red eye and we’ll get on the sailboat the same day so it’s going to be a long day for sure. The flight is eight hours from here… boring and no drinking on the flight either, not when you have to get there and be ready to move out. The first leg is four days offshore in the middle of no where, no cell, no internet – well we do have a satellite phone just in case we want to make a call for some reason and it does get the internet… Talk about costly though! Limited use on that baby for sure it’s like five bucks a minute so I guess we will save the for the important call like – HELP!… LOL It’s not as bad as it could be, we could be delivering a boat to San Francisco that’s a real trip for sure I have done that one a couple times.

Have a great Tuesday

Two Thoughts On Tuesday!

After such a long Monday… I didn’t finish working until 9pm last night and I started at 7am, needless to say I am pooped! I could go for a nice day off but there is so much I have to do and it’s only Tuesday. I propose we work the weekends for the same pay and take the week off… LOL

At least the weather has been nice the last couple days so it hasn’t been hard to work such long hours just tiring. I will take some photos of the latest project I am working on and post them later when I get home. I was going to do this yesterday but I was so dirty and covered in the mess from the job I didn’t want to touch my phone. I finally have a good phone and I don’t want to mess it up. It’s a touch screen and I am still getting used to it – I call some people by accident…

Today should be a much easier day I really want to get going early. All the parts to my second windmill are in and I want to start fabricating them so I can fly it. I think if I hustle I can get home in time to have some fun with it so I am going to hurry with my chores here on the farm and get outta here so I can get back early 😀

I would like to pour the concrete foundation for the windmill – it takes a three foot by three foot piece of concrete for the base! I know that’s a big piece LOL The last one I couldn’t even pick up with the tractor, I had to push it into place.

Have a great Day!
