Got the Escape Trailer generator problem solved yesterday. I had looked at the different brands that make a generator that puts out 15kw continuous and decided on the Generac brand. Only problem was we didn't have the kind of money they wanted. I also wanted to physically SEE one to make sure it would fit on the trailer tongue, and hear it run to determine the noise level, so we went to a local dealer. I told the owner why I wanted to hear and see it and he asked all kinds of questions about our program. After about an hour of talking, he decided to donate 1/2 the cost to us and become a program sponsor! We got a 2500 dollar gen-set for just over 1200 and we are quite happy with that, not to mention it looks like we'll have a long term sponsoring partnership.
Handed to me? I don't think so. I've worked long and hard to get to the point where I can feel confident enough with the success of the program, and with myself, that I can approach people with at least a little confidence and pride in what I am doing. 10 years ago I'd never have been able to do this. Heck, 10 years ago I wouldn't be able to speak in front of a group of more than 3 people without breaking out in a cold sweat! 
Morning, just a quick check in. It's raining and Hunter has plans for Pawpaw.

Thanks, Cin!
I am sure it will go well knowing you - - unless you get all "manly" and start pushing it too fast. 
You're just jealous!!!
Mornin, DTR. Slept better last night, so did the wife. Leg feels a little better this morning, better range of motion. Just had some breakfast and pills, sipping on some coffee right now. We're calling my buddies at the church to see if they'll come pick up my extra recliner and take it to the church so I can be comfortable tomorrow.
Best seat in the house! Ok, back to play

You try living life in unexplainable misery and we'll see what your mood is like!

I know that if someone says something negative about my wife and I ask them in a mature and polite manner not to, and they do it again, in the very next thing they say to me, then they are probably not my friend, and I should probably stop talking to them.

I publicly and sincerely apologize for my vast lack of respect for you, your wife and your wishes. This was unacceptable behavior on my part and will not happen again.
