Heading to Sunny San Diego this week for some business training. Can't wait!

Happy birthday to Gonzo today! Hope you have a great day!

Getting ready to head to lunch with family. We will eat Italian and then head to candlelight church service. Tomorrow us the big christmas feast with presents.

9 degrees this morning here in Indiana. This is the coldest I can remember for this time of year. I guess it is just global warming.

Five inches if snow on the ground here.

Woke up with 1/2 inch of snow on my lawn. Not ready for this!

Had a rather interesting week. Hardly any work, the big lift blows a seal, and the heater goes out at the house. wonderful ...

My former service manager for eight years, retired army ranger, and good friend who was diagnosed with lung cancer in May, 2013, died this morning. It is a very sad day.

Shop is SLAMMED! Gonna be here all weekend. Make hay while the sun is shining. First time in years I haven't had the smoker fired up for Labor day.

June has been running strong. We will be up between 25-30 percent over last year.

We finished May up 12% over last May!

May is going really strong and I am pleased!

May is going really strong and I am pleased!

The end of a real tough week. I thougt it's supposed to get easier as we get older?

Missed two days with stomach flu! Caught it from one of my guys. Nasty stuff!! Stomach is still uneasy but I am keeping food down.

This week is going to be short for me. Helping the wife carry 50 (yes 50) show quilts to a convention at the end of the week. I'm the mule....dah not the quilter, that's the wife. Then when we get back this coming weekend I only have two days at the shop.... then VACATION!!! First time I've taken two whole weeks off, closing the shop (not the office) for those two weeks. Heading to Mexico, golf, ocean fishing, lay on the beach...and uhm...lots of Tequila.
