RE: A Dash of Sult N Papper 10/19/20> Thanksgiving planning… plenty to be thankful for here.

in #dailydose4 years ago

I hope you were able to take advantage of that discount and I really appreciate your patronage of both the blog and the guzbuck_shop.
I to have a couple of the mugs and they are exactly as you described. I got the same shirt as you purchased but it was a little tight on me so my youngest boy is now the proud owner of it and I need to order an XL instead of the L this next time. But that isn't uncommon for me on sizing, some brands the L is perfect and others its not, the shirt seems like a quality t shirt and he'll wear it until it falls apart or the printing wears off.
I'm sure the folks at the N B Smokehouse are going to pleased when I get done ordering ,with those two turkeys promised on here it makes 10 in total, last year I only purchased three. We have really been blessed this year and it is the right thing to do for us. The youngest boy volunteers up at the church food pantry on Wednesdays and the church has a waiting list of people needing food. We could just as easily been on that list if it wasn't for the grace of God.
Glad to hear you got to spend time with your brother. Hope your sister the best too with whatever she is facing on the health front.
Friday my partner has a meeting with some folks from the United Arab Emirates about licensing our product for use in their country. Hopefully he can nail down a deal as they have been negotiating for better than six months now. He tells me we are very close and the fact that they are coming here tells me that they must be serious to some degree. Talking seven figures up front money and royalty on each litre so it ain't Dup feed. My partner has already built a bio-diesel refinery plant before and he has the knowledge, contacts and experience to take a group over there and built a plant and get it up and running to produce it over there. So keep your fingers crossed when they aren't holding that guzbuck mug.
I think I've covered both of your replies in this one response and it is damn near midnight so I'm signing off.
Thanks for all the support, truly appreciated friend!

Wow! I really hope those dups come home to roost! 7 figures is a fair amount, hardly matters what the individual digits are :)

I drank my coffee exclusively out of a guzbuck mug this morning. First time in at least 20 years that I was at home and didn't use the Tweed Towing mug. It really is a comfortable cup.

My T shirt is a little snug, like you it's not out of the ordinary. I wore it this morning and didn't get a single comment. Next time out I'll force the issue :)

I did get the discount btw. All good.

Yes if those dups roost I'll be flush for sure. My partner has all the investment in the equipment and the testing we had to have done and he is use to dealing in large numbers. His specialty has been in mergers and acquisitions.

Back when I first met him he took a small software company the owner was wanting to sell and he grew the business to double the size in about 15 months, found a buyer for the company. The purchasing company retained him and less than a year later he flipped for them. When it was all said and done he facilitated the sale of the that company 4 times in less than 6 years and made a good penny each time.

He knows how to sell for sure, he got Disney to do a movie about his daughters that even up until a few years ago was the most watched movie on the Disney Channel of all time. Right On Track was the name of the movie. His oldest daughter is closing in on her fourth World Championship in the NHRA Pro Stock class. It will be close and probably go down to the wire, so I hope I didn't jinx her by mentioning it.
I never asked him how much on the movie but he did say one time that the girls were pretty well set financially from it. The wife and I went to the world premier showing of that film. Somewhere we still have it on DVD, the kids enjoyed watching it plenty of times because it was part factual and part fiction so I had to tell them which was which.
Damn, I am rambling on and it is 12:20 AM , adios amigo,
