That does suck. Especially for you, but hey it sucks for us too. You've been a big help around here with inside informatiom. My dealer is always asking me how I know all this stuff. LOL

Good luck on the rehire.

You'll still have your wealth of knowledge, and now even more time to spend giving it on here; correct?

Sorry to hear that. Especially since Xmas is coming and the extra $$ comes in handy for that.

On a good note, you should have 20,000 posts by next spring now

Sorry to hear that Dawg. I know you probably enjoy the extra cash, but at least it wasn't your full time gig. This economy will ensure your full time job will never go away. Not that it ever would anyway.
