    Gotcha.

    I could've used an extra hour of sleep last night.

    Unbeknownst to me, I had to be part of a meeting with 4 italians in addition to the top brass at my company today. I've been working on this project (quoting) for months, but I would've liked a a little heads up so I could have all of my info ready.

    I googled it also, it wasn't what I was thinking of. Google- "men's romper", that's what I had in my head.

    ..kinda looks comfy. I'd probably get one if I had hair. Seems you need a "man-bun" in order to wear it, but I've been wrong before.
    I'll stick with the -unitard-, 'cause I've got the 'tard part covered. :salute: :rofl: :lol:

    I feel your pain, seriously. Nothing worse or more frustrating than to go into a meeting with people that only have a casual insight on a project, when you're intimate with the minutia. A meeting coming up?- cool, just let me know when, I need a day to get my chit together. ( "Hey, we meet in 30 min...." not cool. )

    It was, "hey, we're meeting now."

    Oh well, I presented what I knew as well as I could. The owner, my boss's boss seemed pretty happy.

    I am waiting on answers to a couple questions that my fabricator has to verify. Overall though, I did as well as could be expected considering that our company is the busiest it's ever been in it's 50+ yr history in the Systems Dept.

    Is it coincidence that my wife packed me her homemade meatballs and spaghetti on a day I'd meet with 4 italians?

    Good for you, sounds like it went well. :thumbs: Spaghetti breath probably helped..- "Un mio amico!" (cough, cough..)

    Serious question- do you work on one project at a time, or more?

    I'd kill for one project at a time. There's seriously 20+ fires going in the projects now. We've got no floor space or people to build any more than we've got on the floor right now. There's months of backlog.

    My wife was raised by her Sicilian grandma. So she knows her way around italian cooking.

    "Good morning everyone....my name is Horkn and I'm going to get you all up to speed on the project in just a couple minutes! Before that, here's some pics of my motorcycle rebuild and a few species of trees I would all like you to do your best to identify! Questions?"

    Visiting with my Dad this morning. Caffeine and breakfast with him. Today he seems to be doing pretty well.

    I’m going to take their garbage when I go, and then load ours up when I get home, and head to the dump (transfer station). Then it will be off for a ride in the country to see some Amish folks at the saw mill. I need to return some plastic bags to them that I bought wood shavings in for the horses. And ask if they, or anyone else, has anymore for sale. It’s doubtful this time of year though.

    Then I hope to get out in the woods today.
