    Good wishes please...

    Well my boss keeps cutting my time, and the A.R.M. keeps going up. We won't be able to cover all our bills.
    So please send good wishes, prayers, vibes, and so on, so that I may find a part time job to help cover living cost, or a better job. I don't live in a grand house, but for now, My family and I are in a house. Let's hope it stays that way. Can't seem to find another mortgage co. that can lower our notes...
    So any positive feelings would be GREATLY APPRECIATED>
    Thanks, Michael.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Unfortunately the locksmithing trade is not what it used to be. For many a year, I would do very well rekeying houses as they changed hands. Made some good money on it. Now the fuel costs are high, the protection racketeering ( misnomer "insurance") rates are high, and the imported locksets are only ten bucks. Most people today don't know or don't care whether every door of their house is a separate key. They just go to Agent Orange and buy however many sets they need, change them out and throw the old away. Makes me sick to see top of the line locksets trashed for cheap low quality imports to be put on a door. The real kicker is that they do this to high end designer houses. I now see them only when they can't figure out how to put a cheap key in knob in place of a three stage mortise lock. After a visit to one of these that I redid all the locks to one key, including the original front door mortise set, the homeowner asked me how this could happen. It took three quarters of an hour to explain that what we do is make locks work correctly.
    We need to return to local business with local (kilted?) tradesmen.
    I hope all improves for you. I hope that that you will soon be able to sponsor a mortgage burning party... I know ours was the best day of our financial lives.
    Cheers, and love.

    Thanks for your kind regards. Unfortunately my boss told me "if I wear a kilt to work, go find another job!" I'm looking...
