Thanks Lancer and Warrior..


Not that I am a Rolling Rock fan, its ok, I prefer stronger tasting
beer.


Haven't had more than a sip of my wife's beer in almost 20 years. But if
she gets something fun, I always take a few sips. I prefer
Octoberfest's as a first choice, and after than anything interesting.

Steve - how fast can you drive? Tonight is opening night at my NHRA
track. http://www.southeasterndragway.com/schedule.shtml

Hey, spring is here. Good luck!

Sounds like interesting work.


It really is. And no two companies do things the same. For example, I
have done both Coca-Cola and Cadbury Schweppes; and they were so different
in business processes and corporate culture that you would swear they
weren't even in the same industry.

I bet you really miss your family, with
you being gone so much.


It's brutal. Fly out Sunday night, come home Friday afternoon. The pay
is slamming, but it's all rental cars, restaurant meals, and hotel
sheets.

My wife and I used to do consulting work on
Cell site infrastructure. We would be gone for a month, back home for
a couple of weeks, and back on the road Even though we got a chance
to see the country, it gets old pretty quick. So I guess in way, I
really don't envy you.


I have seen some awesome places, but I would rather be home. I just don't
have what I think I need to retire, and I also am too young to sit home all
day.

IRS? Ever been to Texas for the IRS?


IRS is doing a huge ERP implementation using SAP to track funds. It's the
SAP Funds Management module on steroids; and it will track every single
dollar Congress gives them to operate on.

Totally cool. I did some work for Grain Belt beer in Minnesota. Taps
on the wall, was like a dream. Take a tour of the rum plantations in
Haiti. They have taps on the wall that dispense rum.


Minnesota must have been colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra on
halloween night.

Are you into NHRA? My wife and I have season tickets for the fall
nationals here. We have the absolute best seats, if you want we could
try and get you a couple of seats.


I race a 2003 Z06 with Lingenfelter heads and 250HP dual stage wet N2O.
I also have a 73 Roadrunner that I will run next year; though I had hoped
to have it ready this year. It will have a 472 Hemi crate motor, and
hopefully will be close to as quick as Steveo's Mopar. Though, I think he
has a ton of $$ in his. Mine will have about $20K in the motor and tranny,
and another $10K in other stuff. I am into the 03 Z06 for about $70K now,
so I can't really sink that kind of cash into a second car without my wife
killing me.

Yeah, pretty much. Winters are nice. I already have been picking
radishes out of the garden. Roses are in full bloom. Won't be long
before we have tomatoes. And then the heat, time to hide inside.
Good excuse for radio and computer time. Also time to finish that
600' v-beam aimed at Europe.


When I first moved to GA from CT, we refused to come out before the sun
went down for the first 3 months down here. Neighbors probably thought we
were vampires. And GA heat is nothing compared to TX. Not even in the same
league.
