     It took a couple of weeks to get settled in.  There were chores that had to be done. Getting our son enrolled in school, getting internet, getting a PO box, getting business licenses for both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, business cards, magnetic signs and a host of others things that I won't bore you with. All of the time working on the website whenever I could.

   One of the first places we had to eat was at our favorite, the Original Oyster House. We ate out two or three times a week in the beginning. Places like the Giggling Grouper at Bear Point Marina, Big O's, Sea 'N Suds and King Neptunes and many others. As time has gone by we have had to scale back some. The reality of starting a new business on a limited budget.

   Having gotten most everything done I could then start on the Video Business. What a great business! Live in Gulf Shores and run around making videos of anything and everything.

   One good thing about it is that it makes me do things that I might otherwise pass on. An example is watching the Thunder on the Gulf offshore boat race. I am not a big race fan but felt that it is such a big thing in the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area that I just had to video it. That included going to the Wharf for the dry pit. A day where you can get up close to the boats and I was able to get some really nice video. Because of the large crowds on race day we ended up having to make quite a hike to get to the beach where I could shoot the race.  For  those familiar with the area, we had to park in the lot at Alabama Point and walk through the heat and sand all the way out to the end of the seawalls. We had to do this  carrying a good size camera bag, a large heavy duty tripod, a cooler, beach umbrella, towels and snacks. I would never have done this if I didn't feel like it was very important to get this video. For anyone who would like to see the videos they can be found at Alabama Gulf Coast Video, algulfcoastvideo.com

   There have been other things that I have done like this but I'll save that for another time.
