  let me know what i can do for ya'

car business may be like this for a bit. Sacrifice some profit just to keep things moving. I hope you don't feel it too bad though.

[Flynbyu]

We're feeling it alright. They let two hourly employees go yesterday.

~Brian

  your industry is not alone. Tightening the belts......  But...I meant you personally don't get hurt by it....

[Flynbyu]

Thank you.

I've definitely made some serious cutbacks on my part.

~Brian

[Peelz]

A few hourly folks i know around here, at various factories have had their hours cut to 32, in an attempt to keep them. Hard to swallow, but better than the alternative.

We are battening down the hatches at work, nothing extreme, just gotta keep our eyes open. We are busy now, but you never know......

Ironically, my wife reports much higher than expected sales (Target), at least for our area. Folks are out shopping...but they are just not shopping for the big stuff....cars, atv's, motorcycles, homes.. We gotta get this bank lending crisis in order NOW! Sure, it was a time of great growth, (too much IMO)  but now regular folks are paying the price for other's mistakes....It has to be drastic, and some will be hurt by it I am sure. For the rest of us, it is all about our attitude. 

[Krandall]

Yeah, places like target and walmart I can see reporting higher sales. people arent going to the big name places. savin some pennies goin to the family shops instead.

[Peelz]

3 of us are online.    you guys as bored and tired of the cold as me? It was snowing this morning...then it stopped.

[Krandall]

I'm waiting for more snow. 

I can't wait to get out and actually play in the stuff. It's been to long. I'm actually signing off for a bit. Gonna go down to the garage. Finish making my bench and take some pics of the rappy's new stuff that came in 

Catch you all later!
