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.

Afternoon.

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Couple inches.

Not too warm so I should be able to take the boy sledding.

So . . .

"Test": Honda XRunner 800 was running and suddenly, went to "check" bike, sidestand switch was "shorted" and neutral switch "connector broken" . . . I asked if I star the bike NOW, how much do you pay me? MY hourly is $45/hr ... They said "$150.00" I said, OK . . . Bike stared 5 mins later . . . Now, I've got $150 and still no permanent offer; servicie mngr (IMHO) wont have a tech that "knows" more than him . . . I basically diagnosed a bike he has had for 3 months  . . .

Now I will just wait their call

This is when you call the GM and tell him that he really should make you the Service Mgr.

That way the tech won't know more than the mgr. [evil]

I told him that . . . Actually, I told both at the same time....   [evil]

At least they did ask me to do some independent jobs in the meantime

You'd think I would know better.

I was going to buy something off craigslist that was in Milford, all of twenty mins away. I told the seller I was nearby, in Hopkinton.

I forgot there is also a Hopkinton and a Milford in NH. They ain't in the close one  :P

The seller was very understanding. I did suggest to her I was only buying it to resell, and that checking out the ebay prices might be beneficial.

Buyers should refrain from educating sellers about value. :P
