You have to hold your tongue to the left. It is like bowling, it takes body English.

Only bloke in Australia.
Anyhow, I finaly get on to this guy, you would not believe he lives about 5 mins down the road.
I went over to his place yesterday and they are awesome.
Welded one piece wheel and as light as a Fuchs.
Made an order on the spot.
This is the man that makes them for all the rally and race 911s out here.
Great old guy with heaps of knowledge, we talked for hours.
Some of the old parts he had was a set of 934 manifolds, who has them.
+ a 600hp turbo.
Very cool, Vas. Glad to hear it worked out for you.

Oooooh, my spider sense is tingling. I'd be willing to bet that my former employers general counsel will be contacting me about my happy little blog very soon.........which, under sc law will make harassment incident 3 after notification of desire to cease contact, thus upgrading the happiness to a felony.

During my lunch time I made a side visit to the city hazardous waste disposal site. I dumped off my old anti-freeze and motor oil. They handed me a flyer for an upcoming event they hold where people can bring in old tires, computers and ammunition. I understand old tires & dead computer components but ammo? I asked him if people really bring in old ammo and he said they had two 55 gallon drums of ammo last time they did this. That is amazing that someone would have old ammo and take it to a waste disposal site. I am sure almost any ammo is good enough for shooting holes in paper.

Dave just get a dog. Any dog will chase away squirrels. Our two dachshunds managed to kill a squirrel in our back yard. It must have been an extra stupid squirrel to get caught by a pair of old dogs.
I'm well aware of what dogs do. I grew up with great danes. I don't think my parents would appreciate me getting a dog that would live on their property and they would have to take care of.

I don't remember in what capacity it was in. I really only saw the ordained leaders and volunteers at church. Never anyone that was obviously just an employee.

So you were fine working for them, untill the tiff with you and that woman.. And only then did you start a blog to point out their problems with accountability and morality?

No offence, but that just strikes me as rather odd.. and i'm putting it nicely.

It was only after they wrongfully terminated me and I found out that they have a systemic problem with treating people like **** and acting as if they are above the law that I started the blog.

I've got one more carpal tunnel and I'm done for the day. 30 minutes. OK, 45 including the dictation & paperwork.
