I removed the Jeep's turbo after the failure in September...

 

Looks mint, right?

Another stock turbo gets installed today, then I'm starting to piece up what I need for the VNT upgrade. Screw fixed geometry and small turbos

Need to do something we are more parents than a couple

Exactly why we waited 14 years to have a kid.

We had out 1st 9 years before getting married. Of course I was only 16yrs old at the time, so marriage wasn't an option.

I guess bright side is I get to enjoy more time later in life as an empty nester than you guys :P

New Ergo bed frame and mattress should be here within the hour!!!

Matt's the man!! Someone get that man a sammich.

Everything go smooth?
Delivery went great! Slept like a boss last night. Thanks again!! smile.png

I am so happy. The first few nights, Heck up to a month, can leave people really sore. Those bases will go a long way to making life heaven though. Did you download the app yet so you can control then from your phone/tablet?

 

Hadn't had the chance to connect the bed to wifi yet. To busy laying in it getting massaged in the reclined position. :D 

 

Can be dangerous in the daytime...will put your ass to sleep real quick.

I started early with kids so I could be young enough to relate with them. Always felt sorry for kids with too many generation gaps from their parents.  

 

I should be empty nesting it by 41!!!

Curious how you keep track of your potential customers as well. I couldn't live without a CRM tool, but I realize your business isn't quite like mine.

SSA is my potential customers.

I think we talked about this..... If I am to the point where I am trying to pull in more guests at any level other than a few basic things and meeting people at the bar etc.... something is wrong. I should be too busy to have that be something that would take my time.

If I'm really struggling with a bleeder store, then I might look at gurilla marketing, but it's more likely that me helping that manager close more deals is exponentially more valuable.

One thing I found interesting is the recruitment aspect. Corporate really looks for AM and DM roles to always be looking for potential warm bodies. Keeping those peoples info would be a big big help when out and about, but a digital contact would most likely be the bestest there.

I'm a customer. smile.png

You're a PITA!

 

You bet!

Arms are shot from a burn out session at the gym, and legs are shot from only having one sub last night at soccer.

Good times... Always fun trying to roll out of bed and falling on your face isn't it?

Guess who is hiring me to find aluminum noises.

 

And no, I won't answer the question even if you guess.

Seriously though, I take my daughters caveing, hike 14er's, to concerts, etc. Plus can relate with today's world. I just don't think by the time your in your late 50's with a teen that you really, honestly remember what the glory years are like. More importantly can contribute to making the glory years better, EVEN IF the culture changed from when you were young.

To many generation gaps and I just don't feel you can relate as culture changes rather quickly.

Exactly. That's my point.

I can guess you had super strict parents.
