Anyone who is able to rally a team and turn work into fun has a talent not often found nor appreciated enough. Sorry for your loss Marc.

Sorry for ya', buddy.

As Sean said, some just have that talent, and to have worked with one of them changes your attitude about work.

You always end up looking back to that magical time with a special fondness.

Again, sorry for your loss, Marc.

Thanks Sean and Pop and anyone else that responds that I didn't see.
Come to find out he had been dealing with stomach cancer for 4 years and we never knew. What a freaking stud.
So much respect I can't even say.
Again sorry to dump but am here in a hotel room and you guys seem like the best candidates.
Thanks

I do both. The funnest/most rewarding part is catching it. I figure if I let 'em go, I get to come back and catch 'em when they are bigger. There are also some species that are fun to catch, but taste like crap. lol

He didn't want anyone to know he was sick cause he was that kind of guy.
He made it fun.
If he knew I was unloading on you he'd be pissed.
Loved him.

As a kid we'd catch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carp out of the new river, never did try to cook one. Years later I tried one in Hungary (maybe not the mud carp?) with paprika, still
had the consistency of jellyfish....

Looks like Janos caught one.

Not to jinx things, but ...

I love the way my truck sounds when it is running well. I had been running the truck today for various errands and seemingly worked the cobwebs out as it had been sitting for about two weeks. When I started the truck this evening and rolled down the window, it just fired up like it should, accelerating when I asked it to, and making its way down the road without any of the problems we read about on many of the forums.

I have dealt with so many items with this truck over the course of the last year (since I bought it) that it's nice to have had this evening's experience.

Anyone have any recommendations for a mobile RV detailer? Looking for someone who knows what they are doing with the fiberglass. Just got the stickers removed and the rig all washed up, but not sure I want to tackle waxing it. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

Never used them myself but I have a business card from an outfit that does work at Newport Dunes: American RV Care, 714-926-7395. The business card indicates they are "mobile" detailers so I suspect they may travel to your location.

They submitted a bid to compound, polish, and wax our boat but it was a bit high. After a bit of back and forth, they came down in price. However, ultimately, we ended up doing the work ourselves. It was a lot of work, but I would do it again.

Again - I never used American RV Care - just have their card.
