Thanks Jim...lol I'm a decent guy...most of the time. I used to get pretty rowdy in here but not anymore.

Things are going well. I have 70+ applications and resumes out with only the your overwualified guy for an interview. The funny part about that was when he waked me questions about the 13KV switch gear that we used to do yearly maint on. I could tell that he was clueless. I will get something eventually. I even applied at Home Depot and Lowes

Doing well, lots of paperwork, having an employee is great, but his last day is coming up soon so there's some junk to do for that. I just bought him a couple tools online for being such a hard worker this summer. He's got a new makita impact drill and a bosch rotozip on the way right now. I treat my guys very well...

and my girls even better.... (see, there was a lil taste)

Hey John!
I bet, I miss Claire a lot, especially after this summer and being busy. Seems like she is growing so damn fast and I dont want to miss a second of it. Words are coming out of her mouth like crazy, she's running...wtf? seems like she was just born. She's 16months for those that dont know...

That makes it tough Loe said that he needed the generator or the info off the name plate to price out the parts

I can imagine how big she is getting. J-L is going to be 10 in a couple of weeks I remember when she was Clairs age. She has only seem her mother once since April and really dosen't care to see her either.

It's dark and boring here in CT. It's not even 10:00 and I'm considering going to sleep soon just because of boredom.
