He said that he was going to give us a week off, with pay and we were to go buy a house. He told my fellow employee that he would personally loan him the money for a down payment. I was all set in that department, because I had the GI bill. By the end of the next week, we both were under contract to buy houses. I bought a brand new house in the southern part of San Jose and paid $23,000 for it. The year was 1968. Last edited by humfrz; 12-05-2020 at 02:13 AM. |

Has anyone here added a hidden door to a room? I'm trying to make my work from home room more exciting. It's just a rectangle that's drywalled now, but I thought it might be cooler to replace the door with something more incognito, like a false book shelf or something. I know there are DIYs and stuff online, I'm just asking because I have nothing better to do right now

No. I knew there was one, but never was able to locate it. I'll see if there is still a payout, may have missed my opportunity there.

Sooo... Apparently Porsche and Siemens are going to try and save the internal combustion engine by manufacturing renewable carbon-neutral gas...

Hey, I'm all for it if it keeps our current cars running in a cleaner way though. Given we us about 390 million gallons of gasoline a day just in the US, everything we can do will help.

This is especially annoying since we have lead the company in energy reductions for 8 years. When the German plants were doing nothing we were spending a pile of time and capital and reduced our energy use by 18% between 2008 and 2018. Now all of a sudden it is the CEO's pet so we are expected to drop 20% more it 5 years while using 2018 as the base line. Easy if you have never done a bold thing but damned difficult if you have been working all along. On a related note does anybody know how many squirrels running in a wheel are needed to spin a Hessop vertical lathe?
