Just found out that a friend of my Wife & I just took her life.  Wow...  late 20's and had a lot going for her.

What a funked up morning...   :'(

Find what makes you happy and smile today.  We only get so many 'todays'...

Again to be continued.  The new controller found so many accounting issues involved with not only my commissions (aside from the fact that the boss moved expenses) but within every aspect of each entity (there are five).  She has to go back several years, the auditor has been put on hold, and an accounting temp is being hired to manage day-to-day operations so she can figure out the cluster of all clusters. 

And when I pointedly asked about five figure "donations" I found as "expenses" in my entity â€" which dings my commissions â€" he waffled and talked about their necessary placement (legal but not ethical per an employment attorney I consulted).

IF I do see any money coming back, it'll be a long, long time from now.   [bang]


It's sunny and beautiful and I'm thumbing my nose at the office and from local work travel today and working from home with the fur faces farting by my side.   :P [thumbsup]

Sorry Stuart. You never know what demons people are facing.

On a happier note...

my 996/853 runs...and runs pretty well. Eric thinks it would benefit from some dyno time and fueling adjustment, but running with the FBF chip, which he can't do much with, that came with the motor it's putting out 107 hp and 64 ft/lbs.

I can crash that just fine. ;D

Enjoy the furry farting Stella...  Sorry to hear you're going through what seems like a huge mess!

Congrats Nate.  That'll crash just fine.

You afraid of Stella?
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Thanks all.  I'm coping OK...  She was a closer friend for longer with my wife so I'm mostly dealing with that. 

Right now I'm at the 'WTF?!?', 'Why?' and dis-belief stage.

There are no answers to some questions...sigh.

Sorry to hear your news Stu. We never really know what is going on in someone else's head.

Stella - It may take a while, but I hope you get every penny coming your way.

Class went fine!  One more tomorrow and then home  [thumbsup]  I am just glad that the Lucy dog is here with me. Makes being away that much better.

I really hope I am not teaching every day next week. My voice is shot.
