I suggested modifications where the side doors became fixed and the windsheild swings to one side. This makes fishing easy. I actually suggested that to the factory as an option and they did it. I kept my removable side doors. I also suggested an easy folding wing modification which cut down on hanger space. The bird was 24 feet long with a 31 foot wingspan. They offered that later too.

The really miserable boss is at my f.t. job., which is government (that explains it, huh.) Our dept. was loaned a shredder for 2 days, so had to get it all done in those 2 days. During the afternoon of the 2nd day, this Tues., still had a lot to do, so I was motivating to get it done before quitting time (and we did, too). She came up behind me and joked that I was taking it too seriously. Then yesterday I teased her about giving us more work and got a short lecture. That's just one instance, she's like that all the time. (Her nickname is the 'Gestapo'.)

The place that is monitoring employees talking is part-time, my 2nd job, which is retail. They have had 13 employees either quit or fired in the last year. More than the old timers there have ever seen. They're probably financially nervous cuz they moved to a new larger location about 1 1/2 yrs ago and just enlarged the store just a few months ago. Still good to keep retail employees happy to ensure success of the store.

Thank you!!

Billie provided the graphic and NicknamedBob wrote the beautiful poem. Together, they provided a wonderful opening for Amy's this morning.

Hope you are having a great day.

[JustAmy]

Thank you.

I thought that NnB wrote a beautiful poem to accompany Billie's Welcoming Graphic. Combining the two works of art made this morning's opening lovely. (IMO) LOL

It's great to see you today. Hope you are having a wonderful day.

[Billie]

Thanks for that ping, Amy. I read the post, and thank YOU, PAL! Also saw where CG mentioned that it would be pretty difficult to fly/land/maneuver the way I put it in that beach scene! LOL! (Shhhhhh! PAL and I don't know 'bout those things - I just wanted a pretty blue sky and some water for background!)

That's called 'artistic license', is it not?

[JustAmy]

It hasn't been too slow, but I may catch up with myself before I need to head out for some errands.

Sometimes making all the preparations for a vacation can exhaust a person.

I got a perm on Tuesday; I really need to buy another pair of shoes; that may have to wait until next week!
Last week, I bought a light weight jacket and new slacks and top. Hope the shoes is the end of the shopping. LOL

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

There is an end to shopping!?! Say it isn't so!

Have a wonderful vacation, Amy!

Will someone be hosting the thread while you are gone?

[JustAmy]

LOL

Don't worry .... I don't think you will get much silence from me. ; )

[Billie]

That's called 'artistic license', is it not?

Right! LOL! Hey, I read he didn't 'really' build it out of old used truck parts either, so if he can have a "poetic license" to change a few words 'n things around, I surely have the same right! LOL!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

I liked it. That dude has all kinds of toys for havin' fun, told me so himself today. So you can have fun too!

[Alamo-Girl]

Kudos to you, Billie and NicknamedBob! I have often enjoyed your creative efforts.

Wishing all of you a beautiful day!

"Will someone be hosting the thread while you are gone?"

I'm working on it!! Heck I have another week. LOL

[Conspiracy Guy]

It looks great. I can't help it that I am a detail-techno- nut. Sometimes I get on my own nerves with my babbling.

[JustAmy]

Good ..... Cause I didn't spend much time looking.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Billie

It is always great to see you at Amy's Place.

You and Lori are not thanked enough for the time and effort you use to make Amy's Place beautiful!!

[JustAmy]

Hey .... I caught up with myself .... now I need to duck out for a while to run some errand.

See you when I get back.

Have a fun day!!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Oh, well go do more shopping then.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you for pinging Billie to #218, I've been busy today.
