aren't you guys brothers, or related somehow?
yeah, Ace, since you are working & trying, if you need a place to do some work, just post up.
since you are working to better yourself, we will help you along.
but you gotta buy the pizza
we always had guys up to house when we were active duty, putting in stereos and stuff, long as they bought supper, we worked till they were done.
one guy stayed till 3am putting stuff in. we went to sack ~11:30, left him out there.
wife had cooked good supper, put leftovers in fridge,
he ate ALL the left overs ~2am to recharge his battery.
Steven Manes, IIRC, was a good guy.
