We have had the Bud Light sign for a long time and we had an
assortment of poster size pictures in it. I came up with a 20" monitor I wasn't using so I cut it into the sign and hooked it to an old laptop. Now we can run slide shows, videos or even streams if I like. I am sure Harry thinks it is a silly waste of time but it is my time and I like making things a little different than what everyone else has. Once I get everything running right I can hide the laptop in the garage. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/New%20tiki%20screen.jpg |

We have our own 'Canadian Pickers' show and the characters from Alberta travel all over Canada looking for interesting articles to buy and sell at a considerable profit. Unusual old popular signs (Coke, oil companies, beer etc) seem to be high on the list. |

The sign was a gift from a bar owner that my wife sold an air conditioner to. She was drinking Bud Light in those days. He was happy that she could get a unit installed the same day and he did not lose a few days of business. Most of the stuff out there was collected on vacation. The license tag collection started in Nassau when I found that tag on a junked truck bumper that had been parted out on Arawak Cay (west of the docks). Some of the others were collected in the wild, most came from junk yards and the one from Juarez may have been stolen to order ;-) I was sitting in a little cantina, I asked the server if he knew where I could find an old tag and a few minutes later a guy showed up with one. It had a current sticker on it. We always try to find something unusual wherever we are. |

Probably correct for 3 weeks. E1.30 vs E1.18 liter. Stick shift. Left hand shift. |

Probably correct for 3 weeks. E1.30 vs E1.18 liter. Stick shift. Left hand shift. We spent a lot on fuel in NZ, compared to a US trip but in the overall cost, it was insignificant. (Had a Santa Fe, huge compared to the average car there) I haven't really looked at the money thing but in NZ my Bank of America ATM card worked at Westpak bank with a reasonable transfer fee and they were everywhere. In these kinds of vacations you have to put frugality on hold and just have a good time, otherwise, you should just stay home and catch the early bird at the Olive Garden. |

I have a Chase Sapphire Visa, that has no. Foreign transaction fees. So charge everything I can in Euros. No 3% fee, and a good exchange rate. Probably save the cost per year. Free first year. Probably should negotiate. Food was the killer in NZ. Had lamb chops last night for e10. Ireland has a Heritage Card for E15 which gets you into lots of stuff for free all over the country. Cornish Island today. Bought at Dublin Castle and got in gratis there. As to spending, I watch out for stupid spending, but do enjoy ourselves. Very rarely eat Olive Garden. |

Margaret may be the main name on the business, but it is joint property. Like a friend of mine, who has a huge income electrical contracting business. Lots with the government. Wife's name is on the business also, so becomes a female owned business. Preference is given in hiring. |
