March 26th, 2007

Made some progress on a number of projects today. My only day off this week. Not to miss taking care of Revel we got in a 5 mile walk this morning, more of a wander than a walk. We didn't really go anywhere, we just wandered.

I completed the sign up process for Watsonville Community Hospital (WCH). Passed the physical, at least I assume I did (vitals were all normal). Filled out all the papers. Had to laugh its been 17 years since I did a pre-employment physical. It was my first drug test. Very exciting. Orientation will be next Monday and my first work day is Tuesday 4/2. I will then be working one day a week for WCH.

The next thing on the agenda was to complete the loan papers 1hour and 20 minutes of signing my name. Very scary. How many pages did I sign when I bought my first home. What happen to people agreeing to things with a hand shake. I must have signed 50 pages. Loan should be funded by Friday.

The last order of business was evaluating the Solar energy bids. They were a disaster. One states it will cover 62% of our energy needs and cost 35,000 the other will cover 74% and cost 60,000. on the surface this should make it easy to decide. but the numbers don't match watts/system cost. I asked them both to explain. I also asked the $60,000 company to make it $35,000 and no more. Both of course say it will pay itself off in 6-7 years. More about this later. Might call Gary tomorrow and see what he thinks.

Got Teddy working with Wells Fargo with a Check book and Savings account tied to a web editting system. He got a lesson today on use of the ATM card. That one is growing up very fast.
