Stan, how could you read my mind? I was going to ask if you wanted to come and visit ME in paradise. Weatherman predicting 82 for the rest of the week, 60 at night. How marvelous. Wish it would stay this way all summer.

Cleaned out the storage room today and turned in the key. Finally sorted through all of mom's things. Think I will build one of those storage complexes. They get the same rent per sf for no AC, no plumbing, no electric, no interior finish, no maintenance, no windows, one roll up door that I get from my office building. Something not right. Maybe not enough competition. HMMMM.

Gotta go smell some diesel fumes. See ya.

I only saw a few items omitted from the List of Qualifications.

"Must be able to make a decent cup of coffee, and know how to properly barbeque a hog."

"Must be able to change the oil & filter in a Dodge/Cummins without causing a Hazmat Clean-Up situation"

and most importantly,
"Must be able to put up with a cantankerous short timer, who has been cooped up too long in the BatCave with out sunlight, or human company".

edit:
Must look good in "the Uniform"
