Wesco boots are great for a lot of things ,but not so for keeping your feet warm
Character is who you are when no one is looking

I got a registered letter today from a law firm...I am apparently being sued.
What's that you say? Apparently some other dude with my name is defaming some racing parts company and it's owner. The law firm has not done the due diligence to even find out who they need to sue. I see this as a potential revenue stream for wrongful prosecution; it will certainly be entertaining in any event.
It only took me about 1/2 hour to find the correct person's name and address, so I don't see any risk to me. Damned lazy lawyers.

Waiting for tonight. They are calling for up to 14" of the white stuff. Two packs of Marlboro reds, thermos black coffee and one nutri-grain bar. Good to go.

No doubt. The little coding at the end of the letter suggests that it was a minion that typed it up; I wouldn't be surprised if the minion signed it too.
I had to call them twice today before I got the lawyer. It turns out that this other character did some sort of tree work for the defamed victim. After assuring the lawyer that they had the wrong man, I volunteered to do tree work for the victim, or perhaps to serve as expert witness in the dispute, providing the client didn't have any grudges against my name.
The lawyer agreed that having a witness for the plaintiff with the same name as the accused would be rather unusual. I'm thinking "What the heck, maybe I can still sell some services". After all, EVERYBODY is a potential customer from my perspective.

I just BARELY got 4 ton of magic in today on the F600. When I say barely, the yard told my guy to go screw when he showed up. I had to comtact the owner of the salt dump to get my truck in. SHITE IS TIGHT. No more salt coming in to MA till next week!!Just for piece of mind I had to go check 1 of my properties today to make sure my stock was still there! Hopefully it's still there tomorrow night and Thursday. I got a bunch locked up in my shop but would suck to lose any at this point in the season.
Looks like we're going to be right in the middle of the highest accumulation for this storm. Bring it on!!!!!!!!!
4 tons wouldn't do me much good. That would only diminish the number of customers that are mad at me for not salting at all.
I'm only about 150 miles from one of the biggest salt deposits in the world, and I can't get any. My last truckload disappeared after the first icestorm: 30tons got eaten up by a heavy freezing rain turning to 3/4" of sleet. Too much to melt off economically with salt, too little to plow.
I hate snow removal.

30 tons on one event? Must be making a ton of $$$$$$$$$ ????? At that rate you should have more than your DOT on hand with your own salt dome!
Just hate the waiting, sitting here waiting to decide when it's time to call in the gang.

Letter: Strangers went out of their way to help 02/12/2014 4:30 AM
To the editor:
Last Saturday, I came to Beverly to look at a condo at 12 Lothrop St. In descending the front stairs to the street after finding the door locked, and since I use a cane and there is no railing, I lost my balance and fell backward and slammed my head against the door, causing a 3-inch gash on the back of my head.
A young couple were driving by and saw the whole accident. They stopped their car and rushed to my assistance. The young man ran back to his car and got a first-aid kit that he had. The two of them attended to me, and a tenant, who is a nurse, saw the commotion and came out with towels and a blanket. They also called 911 and called my wife in Gloucester. They took wonderful care of me until the ambulance arrived.
I was rushed to Beverly Hospital for a nine-stitch repair, and Susan, the tenant nurse, drove to Gloucester to bring my wife to Beverly to pick up my car. Susan showed my wife the condo, which I still have not seen. I want to thank Susan and the young couple, whose names I don’t know, for possibly saving my life, because I am on Coumadin and could have bled out.
There are still warm and wonderful people out there, even with the terrible things we read about. Thank you again.

Bid on a job today and the guy starts trying to load the truck up with freezer burnt deer meat. Packages were marked 2007 and I saw a couple 2006. What is wrong with these people?
