It was good.....

Yesterday was a bit easier than I expected....and that's a very good thing.

While we were waiting for the truck to arrive, I got the chance to talk to the guys that work at this store. I've been up there often, but it's never really a good time to sit and talk. That's exactly what we did yesterday.

It's a great group of guys. As we were at that "introduction" part, one of the guys mentioned he had been a Marine.

I immediately corrected him. "No, Sir. You ARE a Marine."

That got a big ole smile, and he agreed. He was just afraid I wouldn't understand the whole "once a Marine, always a Marine" concept.

THAT got a big ole smile from me.

At that point I took the time to thank him for his service. Without realizing it, I guess I made him uncomfortable. You see, he served during the Clinton years, and didn't see any real action. He actually thought I would think "it didn't count".

When I had the opportunity I made sure he knew that his service, during peace or war, matters. I appreciate the fact that he stepped up.

That also got a big ole smile.

So yeah.....I spent some quality time with one of my dealers, got to thank a Marine AND had a beautiful new line-up finally installed at one of my better stores.....I'd say it was a very good day.
