Is it FriYay yet?!?

20 hour day yesterday closed out with vodka.   Need to try that more often.  Slept like a baby.



In other news (this is for Howie):
Last saturday, driving through the city, I see a crow launch from the middle of the tree-lined street full of houses 1/2 mile from 2nd busiest road in the state.... look more closely... two big crows (doing their job I suspect cleaning up road kill)....  wait, there's a lot of white on that black crow... that's one big ass cro....no, it's a freeking bald eagle flying at my car and lifting up before my windwhield with a squirrel in its massive talons...     Some badassery moving into the city.    :o

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.

Hello . . .

On other news, there is NO Ducati dealer in town anymore . . . Yes, they sold bikes, yes they had a shop, yes they also had a very high technician rotation after I left . . . All in all, the "new" management, let the brand die and Ducati Spa cancelled their distribuitor/dealerahip license; once again the brand is orphan . . . Now, I have just the tools to perform very basic maintenance operations and have an 8 to 5 job and WILL NOT work on Sundays for anyone . . . Seems biding is taking place to see who gets the new franchise . . . if they call, I will stand on what I think is just right for a salary

I'd think that selling cars might be more lucrative...if you're good at it.

Add 10% to that number and lead with it.  That way, you have negotiating room.  [thumbsup]

Fixed it for you Stu. The employers in Panama will figure out how to steal close to half.

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