Water - No Ice

Last week I flew back from Europe and had been upgaded to first class. I was sitting relaxing in my seat and dosed off....... I was on Cedar Lake on my snowboard with my big red Ozone kite overhead cruising down the lake. Suddenly I heard a loud voice " Water - No Ice ". My worst fear had come through, I was going into icecold water! My heart was pounding, I woke up and stared into the face of a stewardess. " Are you OK sir" she asked. I looked at her with the deer in the headlight look, and then at the guy next to me who I then realized had just ordered his beverage. I sunk back into my seat "Yea, I am OK"

Kiting does cause serious brain damage!

I prefer to think of it as Brain Enhancement...there isn't any danger in thinking about kiting is there? Escaping from real life for a minute or two when you remember a great session...or maybe your real life close-call with ice cold water.

my wife made me go to a class on relaxing and how to give back rubs last night. It started out with us laying our back relaxing for 30 minutes with ocean waves in the background. As hard as I tried (not very hard) I couldn't get the visualizations of me out on the water out of my mind and the ocean waves just made it worst. I am so ancy to get out on the water, it is consuming my mind while I am supposed to be studying for a upcoming NASD series 7 exam.

Have fun with that. I have been studying between 10 and 14 hrs a day for the last 2 weeks for the series 7 and I had 3 weeks of class and studying for my Health, Life, Accidental license. The Options and Debt section in the first halfof the material is by far the most painfull and time consuming part of the series seven materal. I have my exam on the 27th and the 66 the following week. I am buying myself new toys this summer with my sign on bonus money as a reward for my mental work out. Who are you working for? I will be working for Thrivent Financial as soon as I pass my exams.

I am taking the Pass Perfect Web 7 online course as well and that is really good and has a huge question bank to test yourself against.

You have to be sponsered by a Financial Group. For me it was Thrivent Financial, for yo uit would be Capital magt. Sec. I called up Dodd financial (company that distributes and runs it) and they gave me a window to sign up online and a bunch of thick books to go through. The online course makes the process a lot less painfull then it could be.

I just passed my series 7 exam today. My brain is so fried after really stepping it up this week. When they tell you to take 8-10 practice exams they really mean it. That test was a brute. Good luck if you decide to go that route. I am guessing I put in around 200 hrs of prep time in about 4 weeks for it, which I am told is about right.
