Hey Kendall, ya ol' rock piler !!! I been lookin' fer snakes ! Well, actually, the business my buddy and I started took a dump when the main investor took a heart attack and cut off further funding when we had half of the stock required to service our customers. We valiantly tried to keep it going but had to find a new investor. The new investor bought everything outright, kept my buddy to run the shop, brought in his own management, and let me go mid-summer because (and rightly so) I don't speak French well enough to serve those who can't (or don't want to) speak Anglais. Unlike my buddy, I had no shares in the original company so I had no bargaining power for staying on. At least I still have my Hoser Certification (diploma and all), even though it cost me a pretty penny in the end. And, I did learn a lot about running a retail / manufacturing business. I had closed my engineering business last December, hence no internet at home, and decided to wait until I closed the camp for the winter to get back on the net.

Hey, you asked ! Hope all is well with you. Merry Ho Ho.
