I think along the same lines tho I`ve noticed that by 30 most have learned not to expect everything handed to them, there some of the blame rests on the parents up bringing.

I never had the luxury of blaming anyone but myself. I moved from home when I was 14 or 15. There was tough times when I HAD to bust my *** off so I could eat... and drink beer haha.

rule of thumb for family run businesses... 1st generation builds it, 2nd generation enjoys it, 3rd generation destroys it. Watched it happen many times. With my kids both being girls, I doubt they'll take over my business so I'll enjoy it and destroy it all on my own

I was up awhile ago, always seem to wake up bright and early on the weekends, not much of a day going on here though, Sandi is at class (she is finishing classes for her masters degree) so Im home all alone today!

Thinking bout heading into Saskatoon to cash some big cheques I have sitting around, might go browse Princess Auto, or Wholesale outdoors, and thats about it.

What about yourself Morris?

Be sure to go to Princess Auto before you cash these cheques, you don`t want to be wandering around in there with a pocket full of loose cash.
This morning the electrician and plumber are coming to my rental house, I`ll be glad to get that part done.

I hope most of the -30`s are now behind us for a while, I certainly won`t miss it.
Once in a while I tune into BJ on this site: SPEED's Live Streaming of Auto Auction Scottsdale 2012 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company
Unfortunately this site freezes up alot plus I can`t get excited over vehicles like a Tucker Torpedo selling for over $2.6 million so I`d rather scan thru the sale results once in a while.
