Well it is Hump day! Over the hump and on the downhill slide to the weekend.

Rick, that will be a fun toy but what the heck, did you find a source for free diesel fuel?

Thanks Jim.

I received an email from a customer yesterday. He attached an AutoCAD DWG file and his entire email was the single word Thanks!

He is a long time regular customer and I knew what he wanted, I did my part made the files he needs, and uploaded them to the FTP site. Wrote an invoice and sent that via email. 100% done and not one physical "thing" was produced, nothing analog.

So Glen is a bit mover and electron disturber.

It is good to have a vendor/client relationship like that. Really stress free.

So Rick, out doing do-nuts in the snow with the new toy? One thing about it, if Beth squishes anything, she wouldn't feel it unless it gets up to Escalade size.

Yea, sometimes I almost feel guilty charging our prices for a few dozen clicks of the mouse. My paycheck just digitally shows up in my checking account and that makes me feel a lot better about charging the customers. Just a few more electrons in the right place.

Speaking of the Army, anyone hear from Rick? I'm looking forward to seeing his new arrival.

This thing purs, I mean fires right up and sounds awesome.
Just for reference we have a small medium and large pic. I truly hope Peggy doesn't get ticked off and chew this thing in half during the night. I wonder how much money I could make in Boston?

It was recently serviced including new brakes on both axles, new U-Joints and it sounds great, fires right up, the CTIS is fully functional, still has the M-16 rack in the cam, gear tethers in the bed, new batteries, it is turn key, well you know what I mean
