    Sorry man, This was as much as a surprise to me and I should have known better! I like having peeps over at the house and I'll host many more if you guys want! Plenty of room for shenanigans and BS. Food was pretty killer as well thanks to @prise for making up some chicken and my lovely for the veggies! I know i have a shelf of thinks I could install and some hands and knowledge wouldn't hurt! Think we are trying for a meet-up @OHSO Arcadia on the 12th? @Supr4Lo and I have to meet for some tool boxes and figure we'd blast it to have some friends join. Ill add it tot the Weekly meet up and move it there for more info.

    I would have made it if I wasn't running all around AZ on Saturday.

    Was getting prepped up for interview round 2 on Thursday. @KingOfTheNorth , how was your interview, by the way?

    Yeah you missed out.

    Remember to clean and stretch before you go.

    It went well. Round one was mainly just drinking whiskey with the owner and CEO in Nashville to show I can drink and still stay professional. Round 2 I am guessing its going well tho with all the new emails I am getting CC'd into from all of our branches. No other branch manager is on them. Just me, the ceo, cfo, and owner.

    So, can you? :cheers: That's awesome man. My second round is at the Tempe office, meeting some more of the key stakeholders in the area for an informal meet & greet and lunch. So, sounds like we just flipped each other's processes on their heads lol.

    Mo' money mo' mods.

    Yep. Was drinking from about 4pm to 4am everynight then up to classes at 8am to do it all over again. Compared to some of the other stories I have heard of other people I did fantastic.

    Well now I can tell my wife I'm working on my professional development the next time I'm drunk and shitting in the yard again. Practice makes perfect after all.


    I have never shit in my yard, to be clear.

    Geez, afternoon coffee burns the nose! I started a reply along the lines of "I'm a Tread Lightly fan, didya at least dig a 6"...." then saw the the fine print. Nope, not a lawyer.

    No worries, just giving you guys a hard time. Hopefully Ill actually be able to show up for one of these meets or trail runs soon. Ive been so busy.

    In related news. Ive acquired a small shop space in Sunnyslope where I will be continuing my vintage camper remodeling and 4x4 RV creating. Its empty at the moment but I will be adding a lift and other stuff soon. Parking is tight but I hope we can have some mod days there. Weekends will probably be better since it seems a lot slower in the complex.
