Making Money

When I arrived home for the first half of the summer I started brainstorming every way I could think of to make money.  I was only going to be home for a little over a month, so getting a job was pretty much out of the picture.  I've often found that some of my best ideas come when I'm not trying to think of them.  

It was about 10:30 in the morning when my dad knocked on my door to wake me up.  He wanted me to come outside and help him trim our palm trees and do some yard work.  It was hours earlier than I was used to being awake and doing manual labor was not what I had planned for summer vacation.  I soon realized that trimming palms was something I could do to make money.  In South Florida people pay anywhere from 20 to over 50 dollars a palm to have them trimmed, especially before hurricane season.

I called up my friend Zee, and after a little convincing, sold him on the idea too.  We hopped in my family's Toyota Tacoma and David and Zee's Tree Trimming was born.
