Shucking and Jivin thread -- don't waste your time if you're looking for Excel information!

Copied from another thread!

Now it's my turn to sing the praises for Rockintom & DW (Tom & Donna). We spent the last two evenings with them & had the best 4th I can remember in a long time. Laughed, did a little "shuckin & jivin", and just got to know one another. Tom definitely can make great beans and Donna's got it down right for potatoe salad.

It was a real learning experience to be in the presence of someone who is so humble and yet so knowledgeable about Excel. Tom is truely a great ambassador for the Excel. Roseann & I look forward to meeting them and sharing / learning more down the road.

Next time though, I'll make sure Endeavor II is totally washed & waxed. The "walk around" was not anticipated and I was only half done. He was very kind and gentle though.

See ya down the road. Tom & Donna, thanks for a great time.

Bryan,
Don't you think you could build me a fresh demo to share my wonderful marketing skills with the world! Oh...I'd even let you put your advertising stuff on the side of that custom built rig! Humble....you bet! S&J Thread

Bryan,

I think you'll have to make the door a little wider though for Tom's head to get through. I think it grew a "little" since he read my kuddos about him.

Great! May want to include Miss Duana in that discussion! If they say "who?". Remind them I'm the goof ball that always rode his bike by their rig at Vic Palms 'bout happy hour time! The one that humbly suck down their beer....then they'll remember me! A great ambassador!

Folks we GOTTA keep laughing...I just received our monthly statement from our financial advisor.......not a pretty picture. Workamping here we come. Wonder if there is a large need for a B/S coordinator?? Oh yeah, with a big head and tiny pocketbook.

Tom, you are going about this the wrong way. You have a lovely rig, and as an ambassador, I would think that the folks you greet might want to see how well a few year old Excel holds up, as apposed to a shiny, brand new rig.

See if Vaughn will just pick up your fuel tab!! (at the rate fuel is climbing, this might be better deal than a new rig!! )

Doug

Doug,

Your idea makes sense....but you know rockin'...always wanting to be on the cutting edge of technology. Remember my electric wine opener when you came to the rig. It a "guy thing"! Speaking of wine...Oakpoop is chilling in the freezing!

OK,I'm confused. I thought this was a serious thread.

Doug,

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder if my 5 year old unit could get a piece of the action.

Doug,
Cloud's heep is a fine and old vintage piece! I ain't never seed a nicer '04 nowhere! Carpets gettin' a little thin though..... don't ask!

P.S. Gary don't get your bowels in a uproar....yours is very nice too. Cloud's still has the "new rig" smell in it! He and Cheryl will barely allow fresh air in it! Enough for now!
