About time to actually drive to the office for the conference call meeting. Hope consultants don't fumble around for 2 hours again.

Sounds to easy for them to keep the core and the $100.
Last year I exchanged an inertial reference unit for a Challenger jet corporate aircraft, the core charge exposure was $487000 USD. It was a tense 60 days waiting to find out if the core was rebuildable....

Holy ****! How much did the new one cost if the core was a half million dollars?

The exchange was 78K if I recall correctly, so an outright would be approximately $550000 USD.
They have a 44000 overhaul allowance built in, if you exceed that they call your core BER and you owe them the balance.

Well a pellet can ricochet off the ball. A powder burning spoon wouldn't have that issue.

I can't touch that, BUT...

We just did an engine swap with a fresh re-manufactured engine for our C-206. The engine was running just fine when we took it off but it was already over TBO. The core charge refund check would have paid for my entire 911 engine build with a lot of room to spare.

Evening Y'all
Well lets see, Mr. Polite from yesterday came in to apologize today, that shocked me.
16.000 bridge? Pfffffft I have a truck sitting in my driveway that weighs more than that.
When Beth and I were taking the failed trip to Tucson back in Jan we each had two separate weather apps on our phones so we had four total running, it was funny when they would go off, all at the same time, it was a circus

Just got home from meeting. Went into meeting with 2 issues that prevented migration. Left with 5 total issues including the first 2 AND one user's email all deleted. Seems it was a good idea I suggested the user archive their email before we started their migration. Now THAT'S productivity.

It's officially mud season.........my sister took this pic. yesterday.
It's a little warmer where she lives but it's just 12 miles from here.
My driveway is about half snow and half mud.

Grrrrrrrrr

Have any of you noticed that commercials are getting back to being louder than the program?

It doesn't seem to be 1 station, either. ****** idiots...

Been a long day. Just venting.

My gun nut buddy has a threaded golf ball adapter for the end of his AR. Twist that on stuff a golf ball in and load up a blank. Pretty sure you could turn a par 5 into a single shot hole with that thing

I've heard of skeet shooting, is that where you go shoot golf balls as they fly down the fairway?

Sid, here's your chance to dive headfirst in to the awesome world of El Camino ownership! 350/4-Speed: 1967 Chevrolet El Camino | Bring a Trailer

If only I were there...

Holy cow, Pete, that mud really looks like a crappy way to wrap up a long harsh winter!

Tweze would never allow Sid to have that Elky. He woul be like James Bond cool and the ladies would be chasing him down.

It takes stamina and lots of will power to fight off the young hotties and coeds. It gets tiring being a sex symbol. I don't think he could handle it. I was in my 30s before I could handle the pressure of all the women.
