I am sitting at my desk watching the clock tick away at my state job, waiting to get the fuck out of here and actually get something accomplished at CRC. and yes we are… been there over a year, dont advertise anywhere but here and my fb page… and if you look at the stuff I post there it doesnt add up to a full years overhead, and none of the owners took a dime out of pocket to stay afloat either. So yea, we are busy ya’ll might not see it though. 😛 ---
