Random Words
I was standing in my kitchen. I suddenly started to speak words at random such as "Cheese" and "Bag". I continued to do this for a few minutes, then went back to my activities.

Tidying up my desk
I noticed my desk was a little cluttered. I had many papers and pens on my desk. I grabbed the papers and placed them one by one in the trash can. I then proceeded to place the pens in a cup, which is where I store the pens. Once this was done, I then proceeded to my normal activities.

Happy Friday Everyone!
So it's Friday again. And the minute we walk into work we start riding out the rest of the day. Me, I'm just riding it out until 1, and then I'm gone. I decided to take half a day today so I can help with the family at home. Chels has been feelin overwhelmed a little this week, so I'm goin hom to get some stuff done to relieve that feeling.
Also, It's been a lil while since I posted. I wanted to wait until I wrote up my Birth Story for Kylie, but I've been super busy with work, I just decided to let you all know I'm Alive! Lately, things have been crazy at work and kinda busy at home. Two kids are hard to keep up with and I'm only there at night! We' ve been trying to teach Carson to put his toys AWAY when he is done with them, but that means just putting them under the baby swing and then it piles up. We bought him this somewhat expensive Thomas the Train set (the nice wooden tracks with the magnetic trains instead of battery operated ones) It's just a oval track but I taught him to use a book as a bridge so he has something to go under, and put cans or other toys in the middle for scenery. (He calls them mountains) I plan on buying more of these trains tracks so we have a bigger one for him.
Found out this week too that this or next month will be my last doing the Musco vans for Doak's Details. I guess they are hiring a guy to do car cleaning, vehicle maint scheduling, and grounds keeping (which I might apply for). But i've been having people ask here and there about detailing so I hope I pick up a few there.... I have plans in place to maybe build a garage in the back and set it up to do details efficiently, and then pick up Carriker Fords cars and possibly overflow for Osky Motors and such. I hear Carriker needs help for their cleaning!
I haven't posted since Kylie was born, but I'm sure you all are aware of her now! She is a beautiful little girl who is pretty content most of the time. She has let me put her to sleep a few times, but other than that she is a mommas girl! (that is until she realizes she can sucker her Dad, stickin out that bottom lip). I seen her do that the other day and I told Chelsea, "That bottom lip is gon cost me a lot of money!" But it's all good. I don't mind it. I'd rather be spending money on the people I love than being addicted to expensive stuff like smoking, drinking, drugs and etc.
But anyways, I hope you all have a great and safe weekend. I am going to be cutting down a tree hopefully! There's a evergreen/something tree in my back yard that I have been wanting to get out of there! Eyesore! See you all later!

Golf!
Happy Friday everybody!
I love Fridays... Looking forward to the weekend, relax tonight, watch a movie, play with Carson, get stuff done. Well this Friday had a change of pace. We had a little girl this morning!!!
Just kidding, but it was a different morning. I got up at 5:15AM and met my dad at Harvest Point Golf Course and we tee'd off at 5:30! I tell you what, I think I had my best round EVER this morning. I shot a 6 over par, and par was at 35, so I shot a 41. For all of you who read this (if anyone) and is wondering, "What the crap is Par?" Here's what it is: If a hole is a Par 3, that means that your goal is to get the ball from the tee into the hole in 3 or less shots. 2 shots is a Birdie, and 1 is an eagle, technically a hole-in-one for a par 3, but a par 4 and 5 are the same concept. So, you add up all the pars on each hole and you come up with 35 for Harvest Point.
On each hole, you have Double Eagle, Eagle, Birdie, Par, Bogey, and Double bogey. Double eagle is 3 under par, eagle is 2 under par, birdie is 1 under par, par is par, bogey is one over par, and double bogey is 2 over par.... Anything after that is just called +x...
Anyways, so I shot a bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, par, par, bogey, double bogey, and birdie... All equaling up to 41 strokes, par is 35, 6 over par...
All in all, I did pretty good (for me anyways) Some people would consider that bad. But hey, I hope to get better! my goal is to par the course by the end of the year! I used to have a really bad slice (hitting the ball straight and then it curves hardcore to the right ) so I asked a routine golfer here at work about it (Kiley Broadway) and he gave me some tips and it helped tremendously!
Anyways, still no sign of baby yet... I am hoping this weekend and then take all next week and then through wed of the next week off work, but who knows. This baby obviously is as stubborn as his/her mother and father! So keep my wife Chelsea in your prayers! She is getting impatient! So am I, but it will happen when it's ready. I trust in God to make the best decision for me and my Family in that area!.
I hope you all have a great weekend, and stay safe!!

July 1st
Hello all. I hope all is well with everyone and this week will be a good one!
Right now, I am at work making call after call, doing my daily follow up calls from previous reports I have started. There are about 50 I would say. Not too but, but 4 of us have about that many, so I try to help all those too!
Well I started my first furniture cleaning last night. A buddy from work asked me to clean some furniture he has. I told him I wouldn't charge him normal or at all since this would be my first time doing it on furniture, and it is more like a test run. And thankfully they were really bad! (I know that sounds weird, but it is good) Having really dirty and nasty furniture will let me know how much I can get out without using heavy duty cleaning materials. The chair was the worst. It had mold spots and was pretty bad. So, i got out the $4,000 carpet extractor and put it to use! I have this cleaning solution that eats organic materials (aka: mold or anything that is produced naturally from bacteria and waste) and it worked amazing! It got most of the mold out and it gave the color back to the chair, got all the dirt out and it looks awesome. I was impressed. I got about 3/4 of the chair done, and I would've had it all done but my garage doesn't have much space right now and I was on and off the phone quite a bit. But after about 1 1/2 hours I got most of it done. It looks awesome! I hope he spreads the word, cause it was kinda fun to do. Both my good friends do stuff like that for a job so I hope they don't feel like I'm the enemy. HAHA, right, like I threaten Craig;)
Quick update: Finishing the drywall in the bathroom this week, then it's painting bathroom and second bedroom. Think all we are doing is the living room and kitchen wall then all the house stuff is done on that... I will need to do tile and stuff in bathroom sometime too, but better than have it all "unchecked"!
Well, have a good Tuesday and rest of the week, and keep my good friend Ashley in your prayers. Thanks!

The Tour!
Hello everyone and welcome to the mind of Alex Doak. Today, we will be touring three components in Alex's mind: Thoughts, Work, and Fun.....
Our first stop today is work... Oh the joy in work. Alex likes his job but gets tired of the repetitiveness it offers. It seems every day there is the same problem of that dang control module going offline. And the remarks here and there from his co-workers about how red dye is great for you! (not in my eyes) and of course, the weekly trip to Dollar General to satisfy his sunflower seed addiction. But despite the ups and downs of work, the things Alex enjoys most is the interaction with customers all over the country, and even outside the country, and of course, the people here in the office. Even though it is repetitive by nature, it is still enjoyable and he still finds joy/rewarding to fix problems or find solutions for problems.
Our second and most exciting stop, is FUN! Alex enjoys movies, video games, working on his house, golfing and especially, playing with his son Carson. Carson is one cool cat! Alex can't wait until Carson gets old enough to play games with, go to movies, teach him how to golf, play baseball (even though his daddy sucks) and maybe even driving cars. He also enjoys the rare dates with his wife and hanging out with his friends.
Our third and final visit today, is the Thought department. Over the course of each day, Alex has these thoughts... Most of the time it is about work, Chelsea, Carson, friends, sex and video games. And also thinks allot about ideas that he would like to do. One time he brainstormed with his buddy Austin about a shopping cart design for grocery stores. It is a GPS assisted, USB Drive enabled, touch screen shopping assistant where you can type in how much you want to spend and has a built in scanner, so you can scan each item as it enters the cart, and it will tell you if you exceed or are under your wanted spending limit. There were other things to that, but there are tons more ideas as well. Alex also thinks alot about Golf lately. He wishes he could play every morning before work and a round after work. Become good, and potentially play in tournaments and stuff. (Trust me, as the tour guide, I've seen allot, and I'm not so sure his slice can be played that good)
Well that's our tour of Alex Doak's mind... Thanks for joining us and I hope this was a pleasurable Friday afternoon for you. Feel free to come back anytime and ask more questions about Alex's Mind!
Be Safe!!!!
