New England B.S. Thread

Leaving work now, my son just sent me a text, he's taking me to the Sox tomorrow! YES!

 

Gotta be invited first

 

Exactly and just gets more separated as time passes

 

Anyone around in NY (Queens area) or western CT coming close to the Cape anytime soon?

I worked for a large office supply chain when I was in high school/beginning of college. Typical closing on week nights was 9 PM (still late enough where it was pointless, store was dead after 8). During back to school, we'd be open until 11 instead. Total sales between 8 and 11 would be maybe $250 on a good night. Almost no one came in. And, you were paying four people to be there for those three hours.

So, average maybe $12/hr between the four of them times three hours and you're at $144.

I'd say typical margin on non-electronics stuff probably averaged 30%. (Electronics were typically barely marked up and sometimes had negative margin). $250 in sales meant $75 profit. That's only half the salaries, not to mention the extra cost of the lights being on full power, heat/ac, etc.

It was fun on slow days to go around with the handheld inventory gun and see what cost and margin was on things.

 

Western MA coming to the Cape June 26th.

 

I'm gonna die waiting for a free weekend to get my front end parts installed so I can get these mounted up.

 

Should be bringing my bike home tomorrow. Quite excited

 

Drive to cape took about 2 hours and trans temp got a little hot on a hill in traffic. 240.

 

Morning all

 

Morning!

 

Awesome!

 

When my wife asks where something is, I always respond with 'it's right where you left it'. She keeps saying something like that's how spousal abuse starts but I haven't make the connection yet

Ouch, that's a little hot. Dragged my trailer to VT yesterday, cruise set at 70 most of the way, 210 was the hottest I saw and s whopping 9 MPG.

 

One day she will. With your head.

 

Freetown was a good time!! Next time more people need to come it sucked using a jeeps winch!! Lol
Stuck!!!
Worst of all pulled by a jeep

Ahhh much better cruising now.

 

Haha yeah, that happened....
I'm just glad I wasn't the only one that got stuck

 

Show what got me stuck! Lol
