  1. I’m expressing with my full capabilities now I’m living in correctional facilities.
  2. Update time. Rollercoaster year is an understatement. The Good: Got an excellent Service Manager in that runs the process we want on Maintenance and Service calls. High potential he becomes the GM. Fully integrated our management system (Service Titan) with his help and it is priced accurately for all jobs. This was a huge undertaking and if you don't have someone that really knows this system it can be a killer. Acquired a shop north of us that has about 3K customers in the database. Should finish the year with around 11% growth. The Bad: Parted ways with the seller of the acquisition at the end of September. He was very disorganized and highly emotional. Late night rambling email rants became ridiculous. He did not account for his time on many jobs and that did impact profitability to a small degree. Just would not accept our process and absolutely would not accept any responsibility on many issues we tried to resolve. Typical seller of a small business. Educating the new customer based has been difficult. It is pretty rural (Sherman/Denison area) and seller would often times bill them after services. We collect at time of service. I'm not a lender. Hired 2 absolute dudes for salesmen during one of the hottest summers in recent memory. This hurt and is impacting us more right now. The first was more of an account manager and placed little effort on outside leads and network building. I spent a lot of time coaching him, but some guys are hunters and some are gatherers. The second was placed in an involuntary hold a week after he started. We quickly found out he was drinking while on company time and in a company vehicle. He lasted less than 30 days and had over 30 opportunities for system change outs...Closed 1. Profitable production is really tight right now. This is expected during this time of year and the schedule is full but jobs are slowing and sub crews are coming in asking for work. This tells me it is across the board and not just here. Good times....good times.....
  3. Yes I'm behind but did anyone recognize the old man with Costner in the office prior to his Governor speech in Episode 1 of this season?
  4. If you order on the app there is a small chance it would be ready by the time you got there.
  5. Have a client looking for some McKenna 10. Haven’t looked for that in a long while. Is it pretty scarce these days?
  6. Was that not on Barron for letting him get inside leverage?
  7. Top left is a new one for me. All the rest are legit.
  8. We took our kids on a Disney Cruise in October. Ship was very clean and had lot of fun options for all of us. Booze options were pretty decent and not too expensive IMO compared to other cruise lines I have been on. The poolside options were great for munchies. Disney's island was really cool. I streamed the OU beatdown while hammering back beers on the beach that day. We didn't go anywhere near the pools that allowed kids as they were crammed. Our kids, 7 and 10, wanted to spend most of their time in the kids club once they found out how much fun it was. We docked one day next to a Carnival ship and it was like a Cadillac parked next to a Malibu. Even kids noticed how filthy the Carnival ship looked and that it was full of whales.
  9. I love dogs but nobody is bringing their dogs to my house. You are a saint for allowing that.
  10. Selling a sales truck from the office. I actually drove this one for a bit. 2018 Nissan Titan
  11. My wife makes turkey taco soup fairly often. It is ready in under 30 minutes...
  12. I don’t follow it that closely so when did he get to OSU? My point is that He has been in 2 college programs for well over a year and apparently not addressed his footwork or defensive studies.
  13. So he was at OSU for a year and now Texas for a year. How has his footwork and defensive film study not improved in that time span?
  14. Had The Dude in Mt Vernon last Friday before slipping into the blind. It was great as always but their fry game sucks.
  15. Been my theory for years. I’ve rarely stayed in a hotel where it gets cold when I inevitably crank it to 65 when I walk in.
  16. Yup. Daughter cheers for a local team so we have to pay to watch her. It’s ridiculous.
  17. Kentucky hosed my first one. Hit the second.
  18. Still have mine from ‘94. They need to be resoled.
  19. Whoopsies. I thought that was it.
