    GM~
    • Anxiously awaiting to hear from my taxman today if I need to stroke a check or otherwise. Nervous!
    • Just finished a FIERY email to the dealer GM I've dealt with for 15 years (20 purchases) who I saw at our local pizzeria last night. He had some candid things to say that were despicable, unprofessional, and left me in a *kitten* mood all night. Needless to say, the ownership group knows I will not be counted on for future purchases!
    • Not much on radar today. Car wash maybe.
    • I hate starting a day like this......mad as *kitten*

    Wow. What a bad night you had.

    In the car headed to Chicago. I’ll have to take a nap later. The show starts at 10:30. Ha

    Good morning

    Safe travels Kelly, have fun with ds1 and gf.

    Go gettem Skip! You're spending a wad of money there, whats his problem?
    Too many returns or what?

    This morning, I already made old fashioned date bars and brownies (from scratch not a box!) for a 100th birthday gtg tomorrow night. We are meeting the birthday girl and extended family at an Italian restaurant for dinner. Then to her place for desert.

    I realized I got something going almost every weekend in March. Yikes. I'm hosting Easter Sunday as well. Now do I do a brunch or dinner?

    We got that half inch of snow overnight. Should be in the 50s tomorrow. Crazy weather

    Be well BBB

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • So let me guess Skip. GM dealer thinks he made you a special deal on the last GM vehicle and he thinks your traded in on the Waggy way too soon???
    • Automobile and Motorcycle dealers are a group not to be trusted.
    • I woke up with a sore back, but ibuprofen appears to be taking care of it. I'm looking forward to seeing the Doc next Friday.
    • Enjoy your trip to the big city Kelly.
    • What's the relationship with the birthday girl Mary? That's a milestone!
    • Let's hope Lou is sleeping in this morning.
    • They're going round and round in Atlanta this weekend Skip.

    Good Morning,
    Beautiful sunny day here, warming to 60's by Wednesday mid 70's
    Pablo is my shadow today, he really suffers from anxiety issues when left alone as we did yesterday when we went to Costco.
    There was a time we would be at NASCAR tracks, totally now content watching on TV or skipping all together; restrictions in racing now just equates to driver and how fast pit crew can be. Races back in day would show case models and manufacturer and each tried to outdo other. They would build brand loyalty.
    Agree Dennis, though I worked at dealerships for 23 years; never trust a dealership, they are interested strictly in profits. and none of them look at long term income from repeat business.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Many years ago, when I was assigned as an Army recruiter (a horrible job) I had a commander who made me read a book on sales, written by a very successful car dealer. His main point was that you made a living by selling cars, but you got rich by cultivating return customers. How that related to recruiting, I could never figure out.

    Cool but dry day, here. Plan a long walk and some shop time.
