Mary tells me that my cousin Ray is going to be buying some Houston Rodeo tickets for his family’s vacation Next March.  They want to get Action seats tickets and stay for the concert after the rodeo to see Brad Paisley perform.  Ray and his wife have been fans of Brad Paisley for a long time and have never seen him in concert before.  And they both love going to see rodeos, so this is a perfect situation for them! 

Ray has already arranged to get the time off of work, and is looking into getting the best deal on a place to stay down there.  We have some relatives in the area, so he might even be able to work out a free place to stay.

Action seats tickets to the rodeo are the tickets to the best seats “in the house.”  They are right up in the front rows alongside the rodeo ring so you can see all of the great rodeo action up close!  And the seats come with free food and beverage to boot!

I have to admit that it sure sounds like a lot of fun!  I’ve always enjoyed watching a rodeo, and the Houston Rodeo is certainly one of the best ones you could ask for!

A friend of mine told me that his female chihuahua is expecting a litter of puppies, and he wants me to have one of the puppies.  He said I could have one for free!  He said that they are pure bred puppies.  I don’t know how much money chihuahua puppies cost around here, but I am under the impression that just about any pure bred puppy is expensive to buy.  I didn’t know much about chihuahua dogs, so I wanted to get some pet information on the breed before discussing it with my wife.  After all, it is a good idea to be well informed on a subject before bringing the subject with my wife – she has a tendency to be quite knowledgeable about just about everything!

I have been troubled by how many phone calls we get from companies that are trying to sell us their services to get our mortgage modified.  I really get the feeling that they aren’t trying to help us at all, and that some of them might even be spam!  At this point, we are thinking that we should use a lawyer from the American Residential Law Group to help us if we decide that we need our loan modified.

This group is a group of lawyers that were showcased on several television shows as being experienced and excellent consumer advocate lawyers that will help with a lot of different types of consumer legal issues, including bankruptcy, debt settlement, foreclosure, etc.

I’ve been talking to my wife a lot lately about putting some Covert Cameras around the property.  I’ve been getting a little bit nervous about the rising crime rate lately.  I’m sure that it is directly related to the sad state of the economy; more people are losing their jobs every day around here!  And there are not very many job openings locally for these folks to be able to just start work right away.

I found a great website (www.spycameracctv.com/) that sells equipment such as the CCTV Camera and Wireless CCTV that I think I’d like to get to put around the house.  There is a system that they sell that is designed for home security that fits the bill perfectly.  The camera is about the size of a tennis ball, so it is not quite as visible as the big commercial cameras.  I was looking around the website earlier today and was quite impressed with the selection of day and night outdoor cameras that they sell.  Of course they also sell the cables and connectors needed to hook up the system.  Now I just have to figure out how many cameras I really want for our place!

Not very long ago I wanted to grill some steaks on the gas grill outside.  We had everything ready to go, all of the sides and the table set.  I went out to turn on the gas to the grill and was quite upset to discover that the tank was empty!  I don’t like using the broiler in the house, or pan-frying steak, so we ended up not having steak that night.

Well my wife decided that we need a back-up plan for the next time that happens.  We used to have a George Forman grill but my wife didn’t like it – she said it was too difficult to clean.  And even though it was the largest Forman grill on the market at the time, we could only fit one steak on it!  So we ended up giving that grill away and simply did without.  This time, however, she got online and found a large grill made by Hamilton Beach that has removable grids that can get put in the dishwasher.  I’ll be interested to see it when it arrives and give it a try.  I hope we like it!
