Hey I just found this website. Seems pretty cool.

Drink Recipes, Virtual Bartender, Cocktails | TheBar.com

If i'm looking at drink recipes at 8:30 in the morning, does that make me an alcoholic?
Nope, not until you start going to meetings.

Thanks for the tip on buying the Stang, I'll need to save for a little while, since we just had a baby, built our dream house, and trying to run a business in a really tight market. Maybe spring time.

Everyone have a great day!

Now thats a cool car. Ever seen the movie "Bad Boys?" They have that car in the end, only black if memory serves. I always crank the surround sound for that scene.

It's a replica of the 67 Shelby Cobra - those kits typically use a 'donor car' to get a Ford 5.0 drivetrain and I'd be cool with that - though having one with the real deal 427 side oiler would be BADA$$, the engine alone would cost over $10k nowadays.... I can probably buy/build that for mid 20's

You seem like you're doing pretty well for yourself, despite the economy.

Thanks, I'm trying. Been working since I was 14 to get where I'm at. I wasn't trying to brag, just saying that things are tight these days. People arent as willing to part with their money as easily as a few years ago. I just took out a half page add in the local phone book to try to gain some business. I still need you to glance at my business card idea, when I finish it. I'd like another opinion.

Its cool, I didn't think you were bragging. The world has gotten a lot tougher, for just about everyone. But, we'll bounce back.

Money is tight but if you get your name in front of people, they'll be more likely to call you once they do decide to spend. Market research shows that people have to be hit with a message at least 6 times before they retain that message. There are probably people out there, looking for the same services you provide, that don't know you exist.

Happy to look at your business cards. My email is dryerlisa at gmail dot com.

Got it saved thanks. So if it takes 6 times to retain a message, you need to smoke the lady in the suv 5 more times? Well, Lisa, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Happy hunting.

It's Friday....finally.

Just came from my first Management review meeting. Went well, I had an answer for everything and I didn't take near as many hits as some of the other departments. IT got their butts handed to them and it made me smile. Barry knows why. I loathe the little worm that manages them.

I have Mexican food being delivered to me here at the plant, hopefully it should be here in a just a few minutes. I'm starving.

I've got a date with a bottle of Patron' Silver when I get off. The bottle doesn't know it yet but it's in trouble....

Hope everyone is well.

Lisa, did you see the dually girl this morning? Did she play nice?

Brendan

Brent, good job man keep up the hard work.
Scott, Mexican food sounds great right now.

Agreed! But I'd go for both in that other vibrant tangerine color.... oooohhhh that would be sweet... and definitely with a 7.3!! Although, I think I'd rather have my dually sitting up where my SRW F250 does now.... time to buy a powerball ticket!!
