Jake and I leaving work at 3. We have one manager in the building, 30 used cars on the lot not priced, and 8 new green peas watching training films on how to sell cars. Now Rick we're putting three more people in used cars. I want you guys to assist them. Show them where things are how we do things etc. etc.

Well, if I don't kill somebody by Wednesday I am going to Norwalk to watch the NHRA. My luck it will rain all week-end.
