Get off my lawn!

My neighbor had tickets to go. I declined the tickets. Watching freakish oversize men play a silly game just does no appeal to me at all. It always amazing me how few free throw shots they make. It is always the exact distance, the exact same wind conditions, everything except noise is the same. And they miss as much as they hit. It should be 90% or better.

The company I work for makes valves and pumps that are used in gas and oil production. Barrel prices have a lot more to do with our business than pump prices. We are not making profit at the current sales level. Oil & Gas production companies we sell to buy a LOT less when the oil prices get low.
Have a hiring and wage freeze going for almost a year. Good thing, the company will not lay off anyone and has plenty of cash in the bank. Attrition has decreased the 900 employees down to 800 in the last few months. In the early 80's when oil industry crashed, we loaned workers out to the city and other local businesses and continued to pay them their current salaries. As business picked back up we just called them back in. Got lots of local community kudos for that.

That is just weird. Why would you think someone would buy an old iPhone box? And why did they?

There are iPhone boxes on Amazon for like $6. Said there were 12 in stock.
Any bids on the sweaty gym towel? Seem to remember something about someone making a lot of money selling pre-worn women's underwear.

Yep, super nice out and I am back in the steel box with no windows.
Maybe time for an early nap.

Beautiful day here.
My sister is bringing her car over so I can detail it before she trades it in a new one. It's only 80 miles here and 80 miles back.

Can nap in place. Desk chair is quite comfortable. There is also a Lazy-Boy recliner, couch, or 3 beds within 40ft of desk.

Hey Jim, we decided there was nothing to do in Minneapolis. I don't know if we will even get out of Wisconsin.
By the way, some of the places to stay in Bayfield do NOT have a full bath. Good to know beforehand.
