Had a phone call with a contractor this morning and it did not start out pleasant at all. By the time I hung up the man thanked me and agreed to make progress payments on an order that exceeds $100,000. I gave him something that expedited the entire production time frame and only cost the company the time to do the submittals by engineering, something that was already complete, best part is the faster we build and ship the faster we get paid. Beauty of it is he is our biggest demanding a hole customer but he has agreed on the terms we negotiated this morning I never have to go back and negotiate with this customer after a d-ass sales person does not put progress payments in his quote with terms of sale.
Congrats. Not on the same level but there where I took my kids to 4 H quiz bowl practice. Their quiz bowl was based on rabbits. Had to have active parent participation, yeah in hind site it sucked.
Its really great when it seems like youve been sleeping forever and youve only been out for a couple hrs.
Thats what time i roll out of bed! Im usually crashed out by 8pm though. Clock in at work by 4:45 and out by 3pm
I start driving no later than 5:30 get to work by 6:45 leave by 3:00 go home and bring work usually done with that by 6:30. Summer is another matter I am not leaving a single day of vacation left, fridays and mondays. Watch covid will die and I will be traveling on Sundays getting home Fridays. With an accumulation of the work I usually bring home.
My wife told me that I need to do something go someplace to have fun and relax. I found it Park City Utah can go for a bobsled ride on the olympic course, recruiting 3 friends to go or a dozen.
I think they have or had that in Lake Placid NY also. Enjoy! For me, my ecape is running the western mountains after elk. And maybe 10-15 hrs a week (once our current front is out of here) trying to stay in shape & ready with the bow.
It's kinda funny when people tell me I should go to the mountains out west to experience it. Been there Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, got paid to go got to go places in National Forests that the general public will never see. My wife does think we need an Elk head in the living room. Need my new hips soon.
Tomorrow is me and the wifes 8th anniversary. Have a room at the casino and having friends join us there after our dinner. Had to start the morning off with a heart clogger brunch. Bacon and venison cheese brats. Dang good. My 2 y.o. Son ate almost a whole one
Try seeing the time at 2:45, having not slept they.....then spend another 45 tossing and turning before sleep hits. Up by 7:30...for 2 weeks
I changed my grandson's post nap crappy diaper yesterday didn't gag or puke, that is a big deal for me. I can't even pick up dog crap in the yard without puking.
The wife started gummies before bed in place of Ambien to deal with restless leg syndrome and night cramps in her back and legs. She is doing quite well so far!
