Thanks for the update bud, and glad your ok. Those pulled muscles can be a bastard to deal with. I speak from experience..I've pulled muscles many times in my upper core, and it isn't fun. Do as the docs say and don't cheat! Daily stretches will help sort you out and mend faster to. I learned that last time I eff'd up my back so bad, the doc had me in rehab/PT for 4 months. Not fun at all.

Again glad ya feeling better and good to know you been busy! Sucks the deal fell through tho.



Sirscrapalot - “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends.”
― Mark Twain
Yeah I was taking it very easy for a while. While doing that, I slowly re entered re investing, and about to break into that again. Still setting up my team of people, but so far things with that are going pretty good as well.

If the dude and his family were more cooperative with me, it would have been done (atleast a lot of it), but you can only do so much before you just have to say that you gave it all you could. I unfortunately cannot dedicate that much time to one single job and leave other clients hanging out in the wind.

Plus, I am not about to do everything myself for a 50/50 cut. If the roles were reversed, I wouldnt expect 50% profit when someone else is doing all the work.
