Sunday: Had a house fly in our Parmesan jar at the local Mellow Mushroom.

Monday: Posted "Gross. Fly in our cheese." on their site.

Today: Mellow Mushroom's area director called and gave me a $50.00usd gift card.

Given your recent experiences there, is this a smile or a frown?

No.

Word to Big Bird the President of the company called me, and we're meeting for pizza this week. I'm a happy duder. The guy likes my line of thought, and I like opportunities.

If it works, great! If not, another one bites the dust.

What kind of opportunities? Are you trying to own a franchise for his stores?

Aw crud... I accidentally installed the volume up to 11 mod. :roll:

Yeah... It's a Fender Custom shop vibrolux (approx 40 watts). I installed a turret board AB763 circuit. I don't think he quite fully grasps how loud 40 watts is. My lil 10 watt can cause hearing damage. There's also a thing called a volume knob.... which he can turn down. :wink: :lol:
