If I'm feeling really businesslike I mosey down to my office and do it from there. I do about 4 visits per project, so there is some travel. I can usually be in and out in a day, so not so bad.

Lately I've been focusing on VAs. The one in Sturgis is a VA. It's nice to see them (VAs in general) stepping up their game. They were lagging behind the industry pretty severely until recently.

I'm with you Tracy, they're meant to be ridden, although Pearl is probably pissed at how dirty she is...

Off to shuffle. Well, not really shuffle but shuffle related. Meet and greet, bid on a job, pick up material and do payroll.

Yay, woo hoo...

It's all about the ebb and flow Jack - like riding a wave.

Naw - I think that's (supposed to be) the chick (but really a stunt rider) from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo chasing down the bad guy, if I recall correctly.

Good to be here among friends.
