2008 Comes to an end...

I was just sitting here, looking at the past season's blog, thinking about the year as a whole, and also contemplating what 2009 could bring.

Talks of adding more scooters to the fleet are in progress.
Wondering what the economy will do to my fragile little business.
Thinking about having a National Scooter Rally organized around Estes Park next fall.
And stewing over the fact that I can't make my little scooter zip across a web page yet via FLASH. (so much to learn...)

One thing I do want to say tho, is THANK YOU ESTES PARK! I can't tell you how many times I have been given a break on a meal, tabs on gasoline, not been charged a late fee for something, been helped by a local, or, have had other businesses and locals recommend my scooters.
Oh... you guys...*sniff sniff* you guys are the best!
There's nothing better to restore your faith in humanity, than to have a town, in general, support what you are doing.

..if only I could figure out how to live up there in the winter time... I'd just stay. One day... However, I should say that the job situation where I am isn't much better than up in Estes. Things are tough all over, as everyone knows.

In the past, if I handed out 2 or 3 resumes, I would get 2 or 3 call backs. In the last 2 months, I have handed out over 40 applications and resumes, and have gotten 3 call backs. I took all 3 jobs, and still didn't piece together full time hours.

And I will wade thru it until May, and hope that things won't be horrible this summer.

As usual, I will be optimistic, knowing that I am providing a super cool thing to the area, and people will be back!!

So hey!! Happy Holidays.. Happy New Year!!

5 more months until I open again for another season. #4! #4! #4!
