Wow, never read this thread before....pretty cool! I guess my evening will be spent putting up a mailbox that someone knocked down for me last night.... Noticed that little gift when leaving for work this morning.... Looks like a visit to Lowe's for some Quickcrete is on my horizon!...

Welcome to the MCF Blog. Sorry to read about your mail box. Sadly, it seems to happen to many & it's sad that the offender(s) just takes off with no remorse. Was yours the only one in the area that was hit ? Time for steel & Rock hard concrete. It maybe just someone that jealous of your Super Monte S.S.

Wish you a easy repair. Look for you again on the Blog...

What are you going to do until Monday ? I sure don't like waiting about job news either. I hope you get the job `if that is what you want ? Do you have a backup plan ? Have you ever considered being a Over the Road Truck driver ?. Several driver's that haul to the port make over $75 K+ a year...That's close to my salary. I get more $'s working the islands.

I don't know what Sgt Major Drew is making & maybe he will share the highs & lows ?

Found the below on the web. Good Luck 4-Sure
Truck drivers wanted. Pay: $73,000 - Oct. 9, 2015 - CNN Money

I'm pretty confident i'll get the job or i'd probably already have been booted by now. Just need the district manager back so i can finish. Trucking was plan z for me, expensive to get your license and the money isn't great for the lifestyle.

Howdy yall. I just mowed the front yard. The back is off schedule. I will fix that in a week or two. I hope you all had a good day, I did.

Well back outside for me, it is too nice to stay inside!

Evening everyone. The daughter and I made it to the convention today for registration for the modeling and she is extremely excited about it and I am kind of enjoying it as well. Right now we are lounging at the pool while she awaits tomorrow's kick off.

Hope everyone enjoys their day

Cool U R the driver of your Life `amen

Hi `Keane, what type of life style do you have ? I know for me to make over $100K a year I have to work over 16+hour days, 6 days a week. I rather work less, and make less. I'm on a salary + bonus after 40 hours a week.

Good Luck on getting approved. Try to enjoy your time off while you wait...
================================================== ====
Hi `Tommy, I hope you are feeling better & your cold has faded. EnJoy the better weather & Life.
===========================================
Hi `Ken, enjoy your special times with your daughter. Take pictures to enjoy later in life. Capture the memories.
Good Luck !
=======================
Wish all a great evening & great dreams >EnJoy<
