There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation.
One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

Re: It's gonna be tuff for me....
Thanks, I don't know yet but might be there today to see if things are in order over there with my friend(the son of the shop owner). Will take a few days to reorganize the schedule of operation. It's a family business. Still in the "what now?" state of mind. But one thing for sure is it needs to be "business as usual" come Monday morning.

Right now we have to keep our heads up, take what we got, move forward, make it work and make it work well and better than ever.

Thanks guys. I'm going through another one of those moments where I wish I was in Mexico right now. I just want to leave it all and go.

Re: It's gonna be tuff for me....
Been there, dude. I know what you're feeling. Lost some real good buddies over the years during different wars. No other way to slice it....it just sucks. Don't go to Mexico if you need to have the alone time, 'though. Gringos aren't fairing too well down there, lately.Pit Slave wrote:Thanks guys.
