I wonder if a parachute would open in that short a distance?  Or, I was thinking that if I got a bucket of cement and put a rope tied around me through a pulley attached to the roof of the building, If I fell, it would let me down easy. But I calculated that the cost of that much cement was too much ^ v ^

Hey Jim,

Well I will have to say that every day is a Saturday!!
Although my daily work load is nothing like yours..............
I must say that you need to find a way to slow down........ a bit!! :-)

My biggest frustration is that my phone won't stop ringing with calls
from previous customers.  Wanting help with this and that!!!  Or to
complain that I should have forewarned them that I was quitting the
business!!  Or that the new guys don't answer or return their calls.

So other than all that stuff, I have managed to get my 92' Honda
Goldwing out of my garage, removed the OLD gas, loaded new, and it
started up and runs great after I creatively fixed a gas leak from
the carburetor.  It hasn't be running for maybe 11 years or so.
Now I am in negotiations to either convert it into a Trike or trade it
in on a Trike.  I should have a plan by the end of this week.  I would
like to take a few road trips just to enjoy the freedom of the ride.

Other than that I have been fixing up things around the house that I
have been putting off because I was too busy with business.  N-O-W I
can spend the time doing those Saturday jobs on any day of the week!!

Then there is the..........................................

BTW I need to ask!! Hey Bob, what is your local temperature and is it
too much??  I hope you have your shop with a cooling device that runs!!

Later all,

Les
