Just wondering if you still have a job with Briggs and Stratton going to China? Hope you are OK!
 
Official word came down yesterday.

All production is to cease on Sept 22nd 2007 at the Rolla facility. I might be here as long as December or might be tossed out with the garbage in Sept. depending on the way it all goes down. It was pretty sad. Everyone knew it was coming it just became a reality. I run a crew of 46 people. Over half of them went home after hearing the news. Way I see it China can have it. Looking at my options. I was thinking that I could be capo's understudy? What do you think? Not exactly sure what that is but it's working for him right?:cool:
 
OK Mike....but you have to understand that mine is a tough job and not everyone can do it.

I've had a few understudys fall by the wayside before..........:D
 
It's not all doom and gloom.

At the end of may I should have a litter of puppies. Would you be interested in puppy sitting for me? I'll also give you a good deal on a playmete for that little toy poddle you own.:D
 
capo,

I'm not the sharpest knife in the tool shed but I put forth 150% effort. I think I'll be able to handle anything but another night at griss's house. His boy scares me.
 
You mean that vicious, blood-thirsty Satan spawn called Bogie?

I personally have witnessed him eating neighbors and friends. I don't go to Nooks unless I'm packing a whip, gun and chair. Siegfried and Roy would'nt even attempt to use him in their act!

Puppies would be nothing but an appetizer! :D
 
Damn, Pick! Sorry to hear it....I first heard it yesterday on the news and figured it would be bad. They said that 2 of the 3 motors would still be built here in Potosi, but I thought you would be out of luck:(

Maybe we can get your countrified butt out of Rolla and into the city of Saint Louis:D Let me know if I can do anything to help you out, or if you need tips on being the understudy of Capo, then I have a LOT of experience.

BTW, Bogie likes you so all is well;)
 
Hey cap,

You might take bogie in a minute but he would already have you in a second. I miss the little guy.


Nook,

It might be harder then you think getting the country out of me. I hear people in St. Louis don't like it when you take a leak off your back porch. That plus I just started getting use to the sound of banjo's playing.

What kind of puppies?


And Nook, who are you kidding when you say that Bogie is harmless?! I know first hand that he prefers rump roast!
 
Chelsey,

The pups I'm expecting are American Bulldogs.

The pups should have some interesting markings. The female is white with two brindle eye patches. The male is just the opposite with most of his body brindle with white on his head. Both dogs are very socialized and 90% of the time they are hamming it up. Female is about 85lbs and the male is about 110lbs.

BTW. I loved the pics of your two dogs the min pin playing with your dobe. :)
 
Please remember to post pics of the puppies when they come. They sound like they will be some sharp looking pups.
BTW Pick, Sorry to hear about your situation. I really hope things turn out for you and your family.

Thanks! The min pin still thinks he rules the roost...he struts around constantly and bosses Gretchen around. It's kind of sad that my ~70 lb dobe takes orders from a 2 lb min pin, but I guess I'd rather have it that way because the dobe could really do some damage to the little guy.l

Jean,

Thanks for the concerns on my situation. I'm sure everything will work out for the best. Who knows maybe I'll see some of you this Thursday night. :)
 
I sure hope to finally see you also. I will be off work on
Thursday night so I will be free to go, just getting my chicken butt there.

Those are beautiful dogs. I would believe their pups will make you proud, and be very hard to let go.
