Did you hear that thunder?
No, I think it's the wind.
I know thunder when I hear it.
Ah I guess we're both wrong.

Another pine bit the dust.
Across the road from the house.
Nice fall, if it would of dropped 45 degrees it would of made a awesome road block.
Darn it, the township would of cut it, chipped it up for us.
Wonder if I could drag it over?

You could always say it rolled over there, around midnight.

It's so quiet now I could probably do at high noon and nobody would know the difference.

Just wanted to thank Jim, Bill and Rook for the good wishes and to let you know that my interview at United Rentals went well yesterday, the only issue was the pay they offered me.
I interviewed for the same job in 1999 and the salary they offered me yesterday was $10K less then it was 21 years ago... needless to say, I was very disappointed.

On a happier note, I connected with the head of HR at Generac Generators in Wisconsin yesterday and she asked me to apply for the job below.
After I applied, she again responded saying, "A recruiter on my team is going to reach out. Her name is Christianah Ajanku."
This certainly sounds positive.

Sounds like United is either low-balling or they're not holding market share and haven't the budget for recruitment.
The generator position sounds more like what you're qualified for Dave, best of luck going forward.
