Hopefully if the franchise starts making money, you can hire a manager and start getting a little time off here and there.
Morning,
Im hoping thats the case, the center if finally trying to help us out some. We are working on getting some things aproved to get people into the center as a whole not just my store. Plus they are finally talking about reduceing our rent since the center is only 1/2 rented. I am pretty sure Im headed to Tenn in aug, and Ive got to be in MD for a week at the end of aug or Julie will kill me lol so I FINALLY have some time off.

my truck hates me!!!
i had a nice easy day in work today. all i had to do was make a 60 mile run, pick up some parts, and then make 2 side stops on the way back to the shop, so i took my 02 instead of one of the shop wrecks.

for the past 7-8 months, every once in a while the alternator light would flicker when cold, then go out and stay out.
yesterday morning it cranked a little slow, but was fine the rest of the day. this morning, it fired rite up, and off i went. 65 miles later, i pulled up to the loading dock and shut the truck down. 45 minutes later i come out to leave, and got click click click.DEAD BATTERIES!!
and they are less than 5 months old!!

oh poop! i am 65 miles away from the shop, and have dead batteries, and no one will give me a jump start!

the kid i was with used his AAA card, and they sent a non english speaking idiot mechanic wannabe out with a chevy astro van to get me going.

it took 30 minutes of charging off of the chevy to get the truck to start.

that was when i looked at the alternator, and saw the plug was popped out of the alternator.

i plugged the wires back in, and off i went, not shutting the truck off just in case until i got home.

and it now fires rite up.

Hey afternoon everyone!
Got the three puppies taken to shelter. Whew that is such a burden off of me. Now there is another from the pack loafing around. Picked about 70 ticks off that lil guy. I gace the shelter 30 pounds of Purina One puppy food, toys, leashes, collars, cat litter, bowls and some money. Holland is going to volunteer there while she is here. At least no more pups at motel.

I have been changing out ac units and trying to play miss fix it around motel. I have redone three bitchen chairs I found at yard sales and BAM BAM BAM the heavier women in the rooms have broke every one of them. So now I am going back to ugly motel chairs. Just cannot have anything nice. GRRRRR!

Does anyone else in here twitter? Does it make any sense? My daughters have me going on it and I just dont get the gist of it. Tagged is just crazy. Too much internet stuff.

Jim in case you didn't get the context clues..."I miss you"
