> I've been a little slow but some of it is due to the crappy weather. NY has been on the hairy edge of all the snotty weather lately and the Weather people can't tell if it's going to rain, freeing rain, sleet, snow or any combination of the above. So everyone doesn't know if they're going to be home or at work or businesses opened or closed. Menial service calls keep coming in but nothing big. Although I've got this one lady who's been after me to come and start putting in 1) a swimming pool audio system on one side of her home and a patio audio system on the other side of her home. I suppose I could go over and start the inside wiring but ---- weather still plays a factor because she lives where there's a lot of hills and back country roads so I don't want to take a chance of getting stranded.

Hey Jim, sorry to hear about the slow times.  I have a few jobs you
could handle here is PA!!  However, the travel time would kill us both.

Yes, the weather has been nuts.  I convinced a customer that mounting
the outside camera will have to wait till it gets warmer!!!  That will
happen next week with a high of 46F. :-)

As for politics.  I have said for years.

"It doesn't matter who wins, the other side will complain for the
next 4 years."

Some people get it and others get ........................ upset.
