To get the Jeep that I want? The guy I ranted about last time, "Jim", finally called back. (On MONDAY!) Got a chance to go look at his mighty machine last night and wow......just wow. The frame is reasonably solid ( I think, I didn't go over it completely), but the body is shot and we had to pour gas into the carb to get the engine to fire. For only $1,800 all this can be yours. By my back of the envelope calculation, I would then have to get a new body, a new wiring harness, at least 2 tires, 2 seats, a fuel tank, gauges, possibly a new dash and a bunch of small body trim pieces. So......$1,800 plus another 3 - 6 thousand just to get it running where you could put it on the street. Oh, and he doesn't have the title either.
On to Work.....we do way too much of our reporting and analysis in spreadsheets. For Pete's sake, we're a $400 MM dollar company. WE need to grow up and act like it. I'll continue to push on the financial end, we're working very hard on the system generated financials and hope to have that working right in the next couple of months. Not too much drama at work other than that. I think we have a pretty good group of people in the senior management level, and a good group in the PM/APM level as well. Looks like we might jump into the CRM pool, using salesforce.com.
got the girls back in the house after a week up at granny's. I have to admit, it's nice to have them back.
Went Jeeping and shooting up at the WMA while they were gone. Ian just got a new JK Jeep and was just dying to take it out. Lucky for him, I put the winch on my jeep, because numbnuts went charging into a swamp and got stuck. I introduced him to the real world of Jeeping, by making him walk through the muck to hook the winch cable to his jeep. No problems pulling it out, and we had a nice relaxing ride after that.
