Last day of the month!!

My wife and daughter went and looked at cars yesterday, My daughter picked one out so her and her fiance and going to buy it today. We have family that works at a car dealership in Rome and they gave her a great deal without a trade in so I get the Suburban back! My wife thinks I am nuts for wanting it back. This way I won't have to drive the Lightning everyday and I can start rebuilding the front end on it. Once I get the Dodge where I want it and I think it will be dependable I will sell the Suburban. I got the tickets for Disney Animal Kingdom yesterday and reserved our fastpasses.

We have been busy as heck at the new store. I built the shelves to put the work order parts on, now I just have to label them. I got side tracked from finishing that up because we received our first shipment of Stihl equipment yesterday afternoon. I did manage to finish labeling the special tool room shelves and now waiting on the special tools to arrive. The Stihl people finished installing the display racks in the showroom and then we started putting up the display equipment and inventory. We put up another TV in place of the one that got stolen. Our first refrigerator for the break room was totally dead on arrival so they delivered a new one yesterday. The fire department did the final inspection yesterday and issued a certificate of occupancy. The fence guy is behind but steadily working on getting the perimeter fence installed. It was supposed to be completed by tomorrow, but that's not going to happen.

I may end up shutting my phone off this weekend for 2 days. Im sick of it ringing, alerting me, people wanting this and that, asking for **** and calling during weird hours.

I may cut ties with that custom shop for a while too, im just tossing ideas around.

The last major wall work ill have is the furlow downs in the bathrooms and master bedroom. For some reason they were added after, I hate em. I need to calculate hardwood cost too.

Yay for new tires!!
I am going to get some for the Dodge but waiting till after my vacation next month.
I think Hugh found an aux fuel tank for his truck on craigslist.

Jacob I know the feeling, especially on robocalls,.
Almost everyday I get a call about an extended warranty on my vehicle, or credit card something or I need a free brace.
The worst one is a missed call on my work phone, I call the person back and I say I'm sorry I missed your call and then they say I didn't call you. Yes you did!!
