One of the things I did Shawn was to "lease to own" I am paying out 3800 a month for the lights and fixtures, I am saving 4800.00. SO, truth be told, it is cash in the pocket right from the get go..
I worked that angle pretty hard. The deal was I HAD TO BE ABLE TO APPROVE IT. So I played hardball with this. Especially since I am only able to approve $250.00 per purchase. Being as this is 1000 to the plus side per month.. I was good to go.
Dont get me wrong, once I had worked out all of the fun stuff, it still had to go to the powers to be, so I wasnt the final signature on it, but I did get to get my .02 in on it.

Yes Sir.. It has been a riot just the light changing from the yellow ting to this White Light. S that was a bit of a rewarding feeling when it was complete, but for everything to come together, it just feels finalized.
I could go Christmas shopping for the kids and wife..we all took a 20% pay cut this year, and the wife had her hours knocked back 50%.. so yeah.. I to could use a check like that... There went our savings..I have always lived on 40 hours and banked the rest... well anyhow.. at least booze hasnt raised in price, lately..
It wasnt all me, I had a lot of help from people, such as the GE rep, the sales person, and my DTE primary power Rep. I will be taking him out to lunch tomorrow when he drops off the check for all that he had helped me with this.

Welcome Ice! Where are you that you'll be getting snow? I'm still in SU¢K@$$ Maryland where we've been getting ridiculous amounts of rain.... PLEEEEAAAAAASSEE let it snow here!!!
I know of 3 lawyers I'm cool with; Lucaslaw is one of our own, plus 2 others. The rest, generally speaking, I could do without.

lolI agree I need/want it to snow so bad.
Speaking of snow, I tryed to call you the other day since you mentioned you might be interested in doing some snow removal. I think all you would be able to do (I dont think you have a plow truck or do you?) would be shoveling sidewalks in shopping centers and such. If your still interested give me a call later today.
they are saying the its going to be pretty average most of the year here, but with a BIG storm mid feb.
Welcome to FTE, there are some great people on here.

Hell no. I don't get my feathers ruffled easily.... Especially not from such a lame cut down. 
Besides, when you make fun of yourself it makes it harder for people to make fun of you. No new material.
Tell me something I didn't already know.
