I am still exploring my options (as I am not 100% I want to keep doing the same job), but at worst case, I have this offer and I'm taking it.
...It's always great to read good news on our MCF Blog..

COLD!!! WINDY!! When I leave work, I have a 10 minute walk to my car and there is NOTHING funny about walking against the wind, especially when you're freezing. Today, is less windy and I think a touch warmer....

I envy those who live in regions that don't get snow.

Afternoon Everyone.

Just got home from Wally World and have been dealing with problems at home. But it will be OK.

Justin, you can always buy a 1st S10 Blazer/S15 Jimmy.

Taz, that GM site works fine with me. I have FireFox and instead of using the Adobe Reader, i use Foxit Reader Lite. Works perfectly.

Everyone have a great day today and remember to share the road with Santa.
