Maybe in YOUR circle of friends that's what it means! In MY terms, it means a place of impeccable quality with outstanding products and service!

Hmmm, Freudian slip maybe? It's usually what you REALLY want that tends to just slip out!

Should work ok, they use a hot knife on the stuff to run wire in the house they build with it. Also, if they're not pass the point, they need to leak-check the firebox before they install it in the tank. They can inflate an inner tube in the chimney stack and fill the box with water.
That sounds like it should work just fine! Got any pics yet??? We're all patiently waiting!

Now, there is a MAN that knows good things and appreciates them. I take back all that stuff I said about you.

Hey, I love the new look, Scott. Adds some - - some - - - - - - some ???? well, the coffee was OK anyhuu. This will get me going and hold me until my venti caramel/mocha frappy with extra whipped cream and chocky sprinkles. Ah, now that is coffee - - YEH.

Lazy day today - - got most of the CHORES done last week. Have to show the yard guy how I like some of the bushes trimmed. Also having 9 Washingtonia palm trees changed out this week. Durn things have grown so much I can't trim them from the ground any more and the lightning has taken out four of them plus a bunch of other stuff. Get on a ladder to trim them and you can't dodge the falling fronds. These things have alligator teeth lined up along the frond and slice you to pieces. Don't need that stuff. Need to get them lightning rods out of here. Putting in smaller, slower growing fuller fronded palms. Should be a nice change.

Oh well, off to my oatmeal and that venti caramel/mo - - whatever coffee. Have a great day.

I just have to remember to put the darn camera in the car so I can match a USB cable to it the next time I'm near an elctronics store. Sat around drinking a few beers in front of the verticle stove I sent you the pictures of last time. He built an insulated shed around it, and we sit next to it on a picnic table like a fire place. He's in a mobile home temporarily while he builds his log home and it's too much for the mobile, and it cooks them right out with windows open if the blower is on. In other words... I can't wait! Also, tell them not to worry about putting a grate in, it'll just melt away, a good bed of ash is all it likes.

Yeh, weather report says they are due about 12" of rain in the next 12 hours just north of you. Seattle has activated their emergency flood plans. Not bad for Seattle - - it is usually just a heavy fog falling there and they call it rain.

My Mondays ain't that bad i work alone and i mechanize 5 stores and i spend as much time in each store as feasibly possible rotating,facing,stocking,and spinning labels so the store looks like a million bucks when I am done. I also clean out all our back stock so all the little single bottles n cans are either ringed up or 6 packed up to be put on the selfs and i re stack my displays to make them look better

Tuesday is just a plate of leftovers of Monday's issues.
My DWI* meter was off the scale last night.
The level of importance of the tasks assigned was only exceeded by the level of incompetence of the people on the other end of the phone line whose job it is to resolve their problems and give me the necessary medium so my users can communicate.
Contacting folks at the Stupidvisor level was fruitless as well.
Time to go a little further up the food chain.


Just Another Day in Paradise............

Thank God for coffee.
