Since I've already made every possible wrong turn before, I think so!
I can't stand watching the glacial pace of the bathroom remodel anymore. I almost gave myself a stroke when I saw how little they did yesterday.

Gary,
It's simple. Go west I-66 until you get to exit 53 which is Hwy 28N. Go north until you get to Nokes Blvd where you turn right. At the first traffic light (Atlantic) turn right. If you look over your right shoulder you will be looking into the Chick-Fil-A parking lot. Hmmm, every turn you make is to the right - how can you get lost???

Not only did it rain, but one of our members (who shall remain nameless) showed up in a Callaway vert with the 560 s/c package!
I immediately started salivating, and planning how I could make this happen without my wife killing me. Of course, Ben got on the phone to my wife, and drove a few nails in my coffin trying to help.
Even with the reception I got when I got home, I haven't given up yet.
Hope I'm all healed by tomorrow.

sorry i missed it guys, just could not catch a break to save my Butt.

been dealing with this accident all day. Some fool in a F650/750 either on something or asleep or both sideswiped my employees this morning and pushed them into a passing car, then off the road into the trees. two are in the hospital, ones home and banged up bad. my crewcab is bent like a boomerang. The lady, who they hit says it my guys fault and is jabbering through a translator about a lawsuit...... aaarrgghh, man this sucks. They found the other truck, but not the driver, owner says it was stolen overnight. sounds like a crock to me as who ever was driving had the keys (no signs of theft).

I need a vacation like no ones business. again guys, im sorry i missed it.

Glad you all had a good time. My on-call responsibilities didn't end up panning out, if I had known, I would have been able to go. I got up early for nothing this morning

Oh well, maybe next year...

Obviously, the "member who shall remain nameless" treats Natasha better than you treat Margaret as she indulges him in his passion for Callaways. After all, he has several in his garage and she drives them as fast as he does.

So, as soon as you figure out how to bribe your bride, you too can have a Callaway 560 SC in the garage!

It was the Red one. He had it at the Chick-Fil-A gathering on Friday with all the rain. GM really wants to do this but needs to obtain concurrence from "She Who Must Be Obeyed" first!
