I sell ambulances for a living (we also sell fire trucks, obviously), so I definitely understand what you’re saying. I get to work with a lot of different personalities, some good, some bad… but you learn to deal with them. I take it you work with a graphics company? ---

Lightbulb seems to be the culprit from most sources. This is one cheap way to get around the Asbestos abatement laws in NY that prevent most of these older structures from being torn down. ---

This is right next door to my office. I didn’t get in until 2pm so I missed most of the fun. I guess that they house a lot of really nice boats from Small Boat Harbor and RV’s etc… There are some hefty insurance claims en route. ---

There are finance companies that specifically will NOT finance a truck with a Max Force engine. The whole world went one way for a re gen system and those shit bags at International went the other way, and it was complete shit. ---

This is only about a quarter mile from where I work now. Luckily the winds have been kind and we’ve had no effects, other than the inconvenience of Rt 5 being closed. [ATTACH=CONFIG]36881[/ATTACH] ---
