Well day one was yesterday.

I got up early, went grocery shopping, cooked all morning, cleaned the house, hung an under the cabinet radio in the kitchen and worked 15 hours in the shop.

Dang, I worked harder than I did at work

Oh well, the good news is the wife got a 10% raise at work Friday

The check engine light came on in the SUV Friday and she freaked out cuz it stalled. Last year at this time we had to replace 2 of the coils and that was almost $500 so she was all upset. A trip to the local auto zone and a free check, a $10 gas cap and all is well again.

I gotta go do my chores before going to the shop or the "queen" will whoop me

Chas

You saw the right thing to do, then did it. That's a rare trait.

Charles,

"Taking the bullet" for a co-worker is very admirable.

I don't know you other than admiring your work here on the forums. But I will say that to do something like this speaks volumes about the level of character you possess. I tip my hat to you and wish you good fortune in the future.

It's all been said already, but good on you, my man.

May it come back to you a hundred-fold.

So sorry to hear the bad news bro. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Many people I know are currently out of work. Hopefully the economy will pick up within the coming months.
