I wanted to thank Rick G. for returning my call today regarding help with pricing a CC job.

I can’t think of anyone better to get advice from in this crazy industry that we all love.
Thanks again!
Tad

I can’t agree more, Ricks been there for me too. Like when I was a little kid, probably about three. He woke me up from a sound sleep and told me I was thirsty. Then he handed me the water glass from the bathroom that he had filled with tap water and then rinsed off the hand soap in to it. Or years later when we had an apartment together. We had been out working on a lawnmower I think it was. We both came in to wash up. He washed his hands first and then went to go get a handful of Oreos. As I’m washing my hands with them in the running water, he asked if I wanted one; I said sure. So being the loving, caring and nurturing brother that he is and me being the trusting (read not to bright) little brother I open my mouth and he puts in a cookie. As I’m chewing away he gets this smirk on his face and because of the sweetness of the cookie part I didn’t realize until just before I began to swallow; that he had taken the cream out of the Oreo and replaced it with the bottom of the bar of hand soap that’s kinda soft. I guess its all kinda clear now why Rick ended up in the cleaning industry with his use of soap in his early years.

You guys are welcome
...especially you Dave. And it's no wonder that you ended up in the cleaning business too, considering all the soap you ingested.


Or what about the espresso treat?
For those of you that don't make espresso... you can gently tap the grinds and they pop out of the basket intact like a little wafer. Well Dave hates coffee (I love it). You see I had saved one of these compressed chunks of spent espresso grinds in the refrigerator just for Dave. So he came by the house one day and I told him that Nancy had made these great little mocha torts - here you gotta try one. Again, being the trusting guy that Dave is, he took a big ol' bite of espresso grounds. I laughed my head off on that one! You should have seen the face he made.

Ain't love grand?
