WOW! I just can't say anything else!!!! I really can't. Fine work speaks for itself & man, let me say....Some fine work! Kaye, you're anything but ordinary! :-) You truly are a benefit to this forum, as well as all the customers you serve with your excellent business. Not to mention that you look real nice sitting on that super bike!
Always a pleasure to talk to such an excellent person! BTW, My wife's standing over my shoulder!! I got thumped on the head! :-) I get what you mean about the "help mate" thing. I gave up a really good paying job to be home with her & my boy. I have NO regrets!. Keep those SA's running! S.W.

BTW, I read your prior post & never, in any way thought you came across as "flirting" over the phone when I talked to you. You were most professional & helpful. (You told someone while you were talking to me not to "touch that dog"...Guess he benefited from that info too!) :-) I wouldn't have cared if you were a woman or not when I called. You answered my questions & were most knowledgeable about what information I needed.
I do, agree with you that when a woman is working alongside a man in "his" line of work that it can create friction. I dated a girl for some time & we worked doing pretty much the same job together. It was difficult, to say the least. Not that I'm chauvinistic, I just know what you're talking about. I'm blessed to have a fine wife. One who knows nothing about the line of work I'm in, but is supportive & respectful of it. Yeah, I kid about a woman being a greasemonkey & how sweet that is, but I understand your point of view on it & know that a woman in a "man's" field has to work twice as hard to get the same respect a man would. Well, I tell you what...YOU got mine. give that kid of yours lots of hugs this weekend & keep "walking tall" S.W.
