I just got home from what I though would be a quick trip to get our nephew his season rentals. Turned into a full day trip at the in-laws :smash:

dont you just love that.

Yeah, we left the house at 10:30 this morning and got home at 9:30. Let's figure this out...

Drive to Bangor PA - 1 hour
Bangor to Tannersville - 30 minutes
Get Rentals (and take the kid up to CB for a quick look around) 1 hour
Drive back to Bangor - 30 minutes
Drive home - 1 hour

so by all rights, I should have been home 2:30 - 3 at the latest. 6 hours later...uke:

Um, wow. Interesting night for you!

I have discovered that it only takes 2 of those Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stouts to get me drunk... not buzzed, drunk. I'm such a lightweight. When it comes to drinking, anyway.

naw i get a wire transfer on monday. but i am just teching the event. tey guys that own the place pay me and they have a management company run the place for them. so its kinda a weird deal. i dont work for the people that run the place. i work for the owners so the managers just let me do what ever the hell i want. the other night i had a bottle of vodka in the booth with me and one of the managers was like you can't do that and i politely reminded him that i dont work for him and he could take it up with the owners. i then dialed one of the owners and handed the phone to the manager. they managers mouth just hit the floor. i did just get the service and tech contract for another huge club thru them. now i just have to find someone to work the shifts because i dont do the big late night clubs anymore.

I hear ya...there's plenty parts of my job that I've grown out of so I've hired someone to do it for me.

o aint it the truth. i still like the social aspect of the job but being a club every night aint fun no more but it is a fun ass way to make a living. every day i find a way to streamline my job so i have to do less real work so i can just work from home. when i retire at 40(would like 38) i will only do pure consulting.

 

[hardline]

and i just piged out on food from the first event. i am completely stuffed. time to go get small before i have to do run a ppt presentstion then i can leave.

 

[Glenn]

I wish I could do that...leaves are still pretty wet here. Tomorrow isn't looking any better. I might lose the battle this week.

I bought one of these this year:

Well worth it! It's got a 6hp Subaru/Robin engine. The leaves were pretty wet yesterday, but it had no problem moving them around. That thing moves so much air, it was blowing the water right off the grass. Along with the leaves, the thing was kicking up a nice "spray" as well. Hauling the leaves was another story. Talk about heavy! I have to heave them over our fence.

 

[o3jeff]

I was using one of those blowers like Glenn has at my fathers yesterday. We only have to get the leaves to the curb so we started in the back corner and by the time you get to the road everything is dry.
