Surviving Minnesota!

Morning . Ralphie say something . No campfires this summer at the lake . Too dry . Since Ralphie has no adventure stories or winnings here is a true story . Last year up north I was in the hardware / lumber store . The clerk looked a little sad . So I said you know I come in here several times a day just to see you smile . She said you are so full of it . I said you are right but I got you to smile . So since then I get a smile and good service . I even tell her how helpful she is . I have worked retail before and know some people can ruin your day and others brighten it . A little kindness cost me nothing and was not painful .

Jerry you are so right in this. I was involved in retain sales for over 30 years as a salesperson and manager. 90% of the customers are very good to deal with, but the other 10% will wear you out. That 10% was a reason I retired at a relatively young age and is part of my decision to not sell birds.
 
Quiet on here . Everyone must be enjoying the last long weekend of summer . Ralphie might be in Togo drinking beer with Sasquatch .
Nope.
Been sickly.

I got something last November. I thought about going to the hospital a couple nights but who would take care of my birds... I was so fatigued had to rest every 15 minutes for months afterwards. When I got the 2nd shot, in May, about 30 hrs later I started feeling better. Still not right, but I can work about 45mins on a good day.
 
Got to shop for a new washing machine today . Old one will not run on first cycle . Only starts at first rinse . Repair clinic video says circuit board . None available . So I guess they no longer make them .
