I agree. I always thought family was sposed to pull together during hard times so nobody ends up suckin' off the tax payers dime.

what's happened is that even with a mom and grandma working there is not enough income to sustain a family. The reason is simple wages are at an all time low in order to keep profits at an all time high.

I had a kid who worked for me 40 hours, went to college and lived at home with his mom, grad mom and little brothers. Grandma received assistance, his mom worked and they qualified for subsidized housing.
See what I figured was wrong was not that they received assistance two ways but rather that the wages they received were so low.

Again it appears I am not way smart like Sarah who understands that hard working folks should live on the street rather than lower the income of the investor class. Heck some Obie socialists even what to make the robber barons socially responsible to the society that provides them such wealth.
Can you imagine?

No need to. I'm making shitloads of money. Let's see, today was doubletime so......hmmm, bup, bup, bup,---that's $530 in a single day. But, I am filthy, stinking, tired and ready for a nice shower a cold brew and some sleep.

I guessing that there's not a run on coffee when the temperature is hanging around 100 degrees.

Good luck with this week. Pace yourself, drink plenty of water, sleep as much as you can, and reward yourself with something fun when you get all of that OT on your paycheck.

Maintenance shutdown. Fixing, modifying and some new installation.

Demand for the coffee has been a bit slow, somewhat due to the economy, and yes it does slow a bit in the summer anyhow.

I have already called Terry Dewick about that HK preamp. Looks like I'll have the cash to get that done now. A total restore. Woo Hoo!
