Really Sears? How about saving some money for the same shit. I highly doubt you have ever bought any type of equipment or tools in your life. Gafj jackel. I have, granted not the tools you are talking about most likely but even I know Sears is overpriced in their hardware, very overpriced.

Craftsmen has a great warranty and on black friday sears had great deals. Sears also has great deals that you can actually make offers online for throughout the year. Gafj jackel

My tools for mechanical work I'm finding are rather limited. Gonna have to go to sears on black friday. I worked for a construction company when I moved to WA, and part of my job was ordering new tools for the techs. I found that Amazon Prime had the best prices compared to the big box places. Ryobi, DEWALT, the good stuff. None of that Harbor Freight quality stuff hahaha Oh and I really like this forum's thumbs up feature. I like a lot of the shit you guys say, but I'm usually not clever enough to think of a response. *THUMBS UP*

Gafj jackel Buy them online ya idiot. Save the tax and get a discount. If you have a prime membership and go through amazon you don't even have shipping cost on 2-day.

I'm usually big on craftsmen products because I like thier warranty and I haven't found better deals than on black friday. I'll do harbor freight for small crap like wheel chucks, tarps, multI tool blades, etc.

So this guy called in a wellness check during Hurricane Matthew on his grandmother. The police and fire department said they were unable to reach her place. He decided as a last ditch effort to order her a pizza from Papa Johns, they made it in less than 30 minutes from the order and gave her a phone to talk to him and let him know he was okay.
Exactly what are we training them to do?

There's a commercial exactly that.
Guy's whose house is on fire calls Jimmy John's for delivery, hands delivery guy a bucket for water. Calls delivery again, etc. Fire department shows up much later.

If anything it's worth a quick glance online to check prices because Amazon is the most competitive IMO.

Bought a fucking jack at harbor freight yesterday for my rhino. The thing is at such an odd height it's hard to find the right size. Went back twice to find the right one.

My back yesterday (with Flash) and today (without flash) after taking a cupping course, feels fucking awesome, although this is the worst I've gotten from cupping, but not usually done this intensely!

Finished a sample menu with potentially the actual prices. However I have no fancy formatting skills so it looks like crap What's it for? Are you involved in a current project or is this more of a hobby? Current project. Was discussing with people opening a few years ago opening up a development kitchen. We had a list of regions/locations where it would make sense to open up. Its purpose is basically to develop dishes to farm out to other restaurants in a group, or potentially design a new place around. One of the potential locations that is still available is next door to a bring your own food kinda craft beer bar (though they have liquor and your normal beers too). Was recently approached with updating the idea since the financing may now be available, but was told to figure out if it possible to generate revenue for the place itself. So I designed a menu of actual dishes that could be available to make/serve at the bar next door during all hours, without hampering the R&D basically, and without increasing labor by more than 1 part time hires. Some issues that need to be worked out, but it mostly in equipment layout for the space, but I'm not even going to bother getting into working on layout options until I have a guarantee. I gotta say though, I was really surprised at the profit margin on some of these things (I've always under-priced in my head). In this situation the cheapest gross profit margin item on the initial menu, I'd only need to sell 100/day to break even. That is break even for rent/util/msyelf (50k)/full-timer/2 part timers/ and a small experiment budget. 100/day may seem like a lot, but a similar item in a town less than half the size of the area sells 300/day and has competitors. And that just the one item. That number drops easily based on other dishes ordered, and that is all at lower-end price points. If I can keep the place running at under 30k/loss a year it considered a success for its purposes. So being able to show how realistic and easy even a break-even is (which surprised me), I can probably be able to negotiate out a larger paycheck.

So it'd be an r&d kitchen but you'd also be making dishes for the bar next door. I've always found it strange how in the US there are bars that don't serve food and an arrangement like this would not fly up here, far too many food handling laws would prevent it. Would it be picked up at your place by the customer and taken over themselves or would you have servers actually bringing it to them? If you'd ever like to run some ideas off somebody else if be happy to take a look, it's what I do.

Today is one of those days. Hard to get going, seem stuck in 2nd gear. Delayed appointments and random things being thtown on the list of "to-dos" hasn't helped much either.
Think I drank too much cofree this morning. Missed my morning bong toke and just got right out to the gym. Feel imbalanced lol.

Would it be picked up at your place by the customer and taken over themselves or would you have servers actually bringing it to them? If you'd ever like to run some ideas off somebody else if be happy to take a look, it's what I do. The whole base of it is yeah an R&D kitchen since already have 8 feeder restaurants for the dishes and a single dish at a single place can account for 50-70k revenue easy. But yeah there lots of places here that are bring your own alcohol or bring your own food. You can deliver it to places or pick it up and bring it over. In this case probably just have whoever one of the two that isn't doing active cooking run it over next door if they don't want to pick up themselves. At the location in question, the door from the kitchen to the side door of the bar is 20 feet maybe, and covered too so no rain issue. Less than 20 feet to the outdoor seating. Eliminates a lot of overhead for the place too not needing to pay for seating square footage and the decor that goes along with that. If I remember the initial layout correctly, should be able to get two 4-tops inside and two outside and a 2-top outside, then the bar has seating in/out for about another 100. The "permanent" menu is set-up to be pretty much turnkey as to not interfere with the purpose of the place in the first place. I can send you the mock-up (which is actually pretty close to what the actual one will be) if you want.

CB, by the way. I saw picture you posted. Looking good man (No homo). You should post it here and give us an update. as per requested: physically: my second Rnd of blood work came back great, all cylinders running fine, little hiccup with the diabetes, still averaging around 230, should be 70-110. its moderately high. thats on me though, night time junk food binges, IE: chocolate, so ive switched to almonds and walnuts. seems to fill the void. mentally: quite well actually, not much problem with the extreme highs or lows, no great peaks or caverns, basically ok though, they did add 20mg of Abilify to my 40mg of Paxil. basically to help with the early stages of recovery. I'll taper off the abilify slowly, under dr's care when we feel its time. Sobriety: still standing. 41 days today. longest in years. feel good about it, call it cautiously optimistic. in a somewhat controlled environment it easy to get cocky, ive been checking myself about 50 times a day concerning that. i very much enjoy the support at home, friends, family, all of you, my peers here, counselors, my God. considering a career in addiction therapy down the road, no rushing it, its 100% contingent on me staying sober, which needs to always be priority one. im not going to jump right into school, it could ultimately compromise my career choice and i genuinely want to help other addicts.....so for now, one day at a time and easy does it...... peace- bear. Congrats Jim! Keep it up bud!

Yeah I'm out, I'm back in Erie county, 25 miles from where I was, I know no one, don't care to. I'm alone getting settled in. Not gonna lie, the thought has came and went. I'm doing ok though. Talked to my sponsor. I look outside and I can see the casino, yes I have a gambling problem, its been under control for years though. I feel good tonight. Shits real, but so am I.
