WOW, seems like life will never slow down.  It's been nonstop since my last post with the exception of our vacation to Sanibel for a week, which was way too short.  Work has been extremely hectic since I got back with school starting, a botched upgrade to one of our lab systems, an automated process that decided it wanted to have problems for some reason this year, major hardware & OS upgrade to our student information system and all the other daily activities. 

Even though all this is going on, I'm enjoying being with my family immensely. Here are two pictures of me and Caleb recently taken. 

At a park in Altamonte Springs a couple of weeks ago.

Outside of Epcot, earlier this week.

 

Today starts my favorite time of the year.  College football starts tonight.  I am a Florida Gator fan but I'll watch almost any game that's on and on Saturday's will flip through as many as I can.  I just really enjoy college football.  Here is a list of all the games that are going to be on TV this season thanks to NBC Sports:  2009 College Football TV Schedule

One last thing.  CBI Sports has launched a sister site CBI Marine Supply, while we are still finishing up on the main site.  CBI Marine Supply will be selling name brand GPS systems, chartplotters, fish finders, EPIRBS, life vest, anchors plus much more.  More than I care to type here.   So check it out.  There are a few design issues that I'm still working on so some things may not look correct.  I'm going to try to have those resolved by this weekend.

What a fiasco.  We've been waiting for our business credit cards to come in before we finished setting up our accounts with distributors.   Well after 2 months, we finally got them.  So we are back on task again.  We didn't make my original deadline for a Grand Opening, but that was just my timeframe.  We will be up and running here shortly and I'll give another update when we have a set date for the Grand Opening.

This has been a really interesting journey so far and there is still so much to do.  Two friends and I have started a new business venture.  It started last year and we had a really good idea.  However, it's seems that every door we tried to go through was slammed in our face.  So we re-evaluated our goals and have started moving forward with another opportunity.  In the next few weeks we are hoping to go live.  We are opening our own sporting goods store online with emphasis on home rec rooms.  We will be selling billiards, table tennis, foosball, game tables, poker and casino equipment, as well as hunting, fishing, marine, outdoors, team sports, etc.  Pretty much a fully stocked sporting goods store. We have been contacting suppliers for the last 3 months and have finally got enough products lined up where we can "open our doors." 

On June 1st we will be starting a Grand Opening sale of 10% off everything on the site and an additional 5% for friends and family with a discount code.  If you are interested in finding our more about this, send me an email and I'll send you the code when that time arrives.

The site is www.cbisports.com.  Take a look around and let me know what you think or what we can improve on.  Currently there are not a lot of products listed to the public but as we get them all lined up, we will begin displaying them so keep checking back.

I'll be saying more in the next couple of weeks and I look forward to hearing some feedback.
