Well, all, been a bit since I was last in here. I see the coffee is still hot and as strong as ever. If FLO ever has trouble selling it maybe it would remove paint from HO engines.(ducks flying coffee cup)
Phil, glad to hear the wife is doing well after surgery. If'n I was closer, I'd come to the hospital to keep you company while the boy has his done. I no Momma would rather stay home and recuperate. I'd bring a couple of rail Magazines and we could sit around and lie to each other about fishing or something. Maybe even have a bit of train talk to pass the time. My prayers are sent none the less.
Chris, sounds like you may have struck a gold mine. 14 down and 56 to go.
Jeffrey, you may be feeling better, and have a itch in your butt to do more, but please take it easy. Being diabetic, I know of the complications of our illness. And the extremities are at risk. Just be careful!!!!
Sandy, I think you may have missed your calling. The pics are fantastic. Cameras and me just don't mix. I've lost 4 in the past 2 years, or so, to Neptune. They are somewhere on the bottom of Lakes Erie and Huron. Luckily the expensive one isn't allowed on the boats.
Mike, glad to see you made it back. Smoke signals aren't real efficient now that we have internet.
Tom, I've been having a bit of the same breathing problems as you. Though it hasn't affected my sleep, any prolonged, strenuous activity leaves me a bit short of breath. Been going on for about 3-4 days now. But, I have the cough, though I don't feel congested.
Well, after, two years of being unemployed, I have a big interview tomorrow. And at my age, my old job is not one I think I can handle anymore. Running a garden center is just too rough on the old man. It's hard for me to admit that I am 56 and not 26 anymore. Back and neck problems, the diabetes, and just plain gettin' old is finally catching up to me. Now the many knee surgeries are starting to be more vocal too.
The interview is a with a life and casualty insurance company. I've had sit down desk jobs before and never really cared for them. Guess it's time to learn to start appreciating them more. And I think that a 6-digit income will ease the transition. My interviewer used to be one of my employees while she was in college. I talked on the phone with her a bit today. She said she was always amazed that I never showed frustration or anger when it seemed everything was not going well. Her most epic memory was when one of the guys dumped a half truckload of mulch and we had 6-7 other trucks waiting to be unloaded. I remember that day too. I went behind the store, out of sight, and went ballistic. Cussed, kicked and threw things for about 5 minutes. Luckily, she didn't get to see that tantrum.
My boss missed me and came back looking for me. He knew my routine. We smoked a cigarette, went in and got a soda, then drafted three people to come outside and help with the mess. I had a good group working for me though. We had everything under control in a little over an hour. The problem was that every year I got greenhorns to run a business that made $4-$5 million in a little over three months. That was intense.
Hopefully, this job is a good fit and I get hired. A bit of a drive though. Luckily, it's almost a interstate driving and about a 45 minute drive , one-way. Gives me time to plan my day on the way in and wind down on the way home.
Bob
then I gave out the other 5 Quotes. I should know something by next week
. BTW, Thanks Everyone for the Prayers......They seem to be working good, just remember the golden Number is 80 to 100!
If all the quote take well it should bring me to 14 or so customers!
Actually I'm getting a little better---I like some people here---they apologize for their fuzzy pictures---they should see mine! lol!!
If it's a clear 5 that has been kept up with and the guy wants a rough cut I can get 5 done and still make a profit! Let's first see if the guy calls and if he does let's see what it is! the toro5900 is a truely handsom beast but i have fine mowed 10 acre park with crap all over the place to have to go around on a 72" deck ZTR with dull blades in 4 hours.......And one time I pitted my 2348 against this mower in thick grass sad to say my 2348 was a tad bit faster in thick grass...Let's see first if the guy calls! 
Dang thing felt so heavy and bulky. It's kinda like slaping a mowing deck on a tigertank! I'm a big fan of front mowers.........I have always liked them the most!
