HVAC guys are the new outlaws. They do the same up here in Chicago. I had a 3 year old furnace that went out and the service guy said he couldn't fix it. He would have to replace. What he didn't know is my friend was a HVAC tech and he put this furnace in. I couldn't get him on the phone at the time and it was -10 that's why I called. I was able to contact my friend and he came out and fixed it in 10 minuets.

My old friend has since retired due to going blind so he can't help me on this anymore. My son took this in school and it's his job anymore. I can't see how these guys can sleep at night. I don't think there is enough work in that business to make an honest living so they turn to theft.

Ryan glad to hear your problem is resolved.

I am doing better. Going to rest until friday. Should be much better by then. I just worry about my job. I maintain the most systems on my team in Chicago. My backup is swamped. We are short staffed anyway. Oh well I guess I can worry about that monday.

I am a field service tech for a major corp. Computers, networks, radio. I don't want to mention the company name on the forum but I am sure you know it.

Coffee keeps me alive.

if you guys got those sun hats where the cloth hangs off the back of your neck, bring them. im tucking a kerchief under my hat and it dangles off the back of my neck for shade on my neck. what a difference.
maybe its a good time to review all 292 posts to make sure you can check off some things:
1. sun screen, hat, and good sun glasses.
2. your gun and ammo.
3. a cloth to wipe your bbl with.
4. your range cards.
5. cash. (for other stuff you may want to buy.)
6. my phone number / 417-948-0095 / 757-639-3087.
7. gps/road maps.
8. i have some lawn chairs here, but if you have a favorite lounger for chillin' in, bring it!
9. if youre gonna cook, bring your food.
10. camera.
11. a good attitude and a safe attitude.
12. and by all means, come ready to have fun! i'll set the pace so everyone will be moving along and we wont get stale and burnt on the range.
13. if you guys got shade umbrellas. bring em. my ground is super rocky, so be prepared to bend stakes if you pitch a tent.
14. review my website for directions and local info.

I was going to bring you guys a bag of Chicago hot dogs. They are the best in the USA. NY dogs can't compare. We have the best pizza to.

My wife said not to do it as they wouldn't taste good a day old.

We are in the Motel room now, 4:30PM. I might be seeing you on Friday, or maybe even this evening. I GOT TO HAVE MY COFFEE! Probably head out for something to eat, then a little exploring before bed time. No body said anything about bring food, so I only prepared for Saturday for the wife, and I. However, if you folks think I should bring enough for everyone, let me know. 903-263-9668

Bobski that would be NY dogs. It's against the law here. So is Ketchup. You could be arrested for that.

Don't worry about food Carver. Everyone can bring there own. I just haven't eaten much due to my tooth problem and that's all I can think about now.
