Well in that case….
I guess I’ve really said all I can anyway. (Speaking of nailing jello to a tree.)

I’ll back out, and we’ll see if it stays open long enough for Ted to post the video for you.

Time to go burn some Jet-A chasing down cows again, anyway.

(I must admit, it does beat the hell out of flying the press over weather destruction.)

He's not my nephew, but the neph of the guy who used to work for me.

This nephew is also a 1099 employee, no benefits etc. He has no friggin' money and lives with his aunt. 33 year old lazy-ass.

I spoke with the owner of the biz/check writer. Told him about the $200 deal with his employee/my ex-employee/uncle. Didn't seem to know what was going on, but did say he'd drop off a check today.

...I have yet to see it.

You may call his bluff if you deduct the $225 and it wouldn't be a wage & hour violation under FLRB, and if you lost a subsequent small claims battle, who cares?

Wonder if it matters that he's 1099'd?

He doesn't have a leg to stand on financially, so no need to worry about a legal fight. Problem is that this biz that I bought has been family owned since 1955 and he's the grandson of the founder. Good guy, but he had a serious gambling problem.

I’d sooner be able to tell you how and where the airflow on a rotor system is actually flowing backwards over the blades in forward flight, than try to explain who I think is who's who in this 225.00 cat and mouse game.

Bottom line – Glad to hear you may be getting somewhere with the money. Let us know how it turns out.

Have a great one with Dee8go and all this weekend !!
