Better get to the convention and pick up as many tricks and techniques as
you can to increase your income.

> If I hadn't beat my chest so loudly a few days back about the terrible
technicians that rarely or never go to PTG conventions, I would not post
this. But because I did, I will post and say that, unfortunately, I will not
be going to Chicago as I had originally planned (and registered for and
reserved a hotel room).

> Excuse #11: I was planning of driving my 1983 Mercedes sedan from Florida
to Chicago. I took it to my mechanic Monday, and he indicated that there
appeared to be a bit of "deferred maintenance" due. Repair estimate: $7,000.
Car value fixed: maybe $4,000. Result: junk the heap - I gave him the title.
I now have no car and have the immediate need to spend thousands of dollars
I simply do not have.

money that could be made during that period would be in the $2,000 range.
Significant in light of the immediate vehicular crisis.

already checked out the North Carolina Regional Conference in October in
Atlanta. I figure I should have my act together by then.
