I got an e-mail from the home office saying something to the effect of, “We haven’t gotten anyone’s vacation requests yet. Remember, these are first come, first served so…” and so on. I replied with a request for the number of days I had left and was told I have ten. I immediately asked for December 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 26, 29, and 30. Yeah, they didn’t go for that. I revised it to November 24, 25, 26, December 18, 19, 22, 23, 26, 29, and 30. I haven’t heard back on that request though. We’ll see. Perhaps I'll go camping. Anyhoo, I also got a call from Kevin asking if I knew anyone who wanted an alignment machine. I asked how much and when the owner heard it was me he said, “Come get it.” Ok, so that might have been the price for anyone, but I choose to think of it the other way. I told John that we might have to make a run to Kevin’s with Fifi to get it this evening. We’ll see. I do want to stop by the range to see where the guy’s head is at on the 1911 still. We may shoost and we may not. Well, I'm bored talking to y'all right now. I think I'll go play solitaire. Well, I'm back but only because I needed to save this as an older Word file. In case you missed the memo, Windows Vista sucks ass. In order to make everything incompatible with each other, they changed the way Vista’s version of Word saves files. In order to send a file to someone with a working OS, in other words someone who isn't using Vista, which sucks ass, is to save it as a Word ’97 file, or some such bullshit. [ Or copy-and-paste it into an email? - SM ] Anyhoo, I didn’t have anything else to say this afternoon so that’s that. Yarp.
