It's been one heck of a year around my nano small business! Looking over my finacials and the biz has done over $35,000 this year!!! I know that is a small job for some of you guys but for me, three years in that's great! Another year like that and I can be an "official small business" for the government contracts! Finished off the year with two phone calls from some places to do repairs at some large chain stores, another perverbial foot in the door.

Got to say thank you to everyone on here that has offered advise, helped out and for all the great threads I have learned so much from. Hopefully the new year brings more opportunities for me and my new best friend, Sa250, and chances to meet more of you guys out in the field. Tommy, John, Al, Henry, Kaye, Cactus, Brian and others who have answered questions thru messages, on the phone without hesitation to help out. To Eric, a guy who has fielded several phones calls from me with the opening line, "Let me ask you something" and has not hesitated to help out with advise and information.

I can't thank everyone enough for the information, opportunities. So thank you again to everyone here!!! Hope ya'll have a great Christmas and an even better New Year!! I hope to meet up with more of you out there and one day be working side by side on a pipeline, a rig or crawled up in some nasty boiler.

Nice to hear you are doing well.

I too am learning much from this forum, it's a great community with very knowledgeable people.
