My G-mail has been taken over by AI. It wont recognize my email account or password. Anyone else? Also phone is locked but that will be a visit to ATT

That will probably be the way it will go for me. The glory days are done, and I am tired of being crap on by "family based" companies, that do not have loyalty. I am sorry for the negative post....need to forgive and move on and find the Lord. All that said, I don't trust many people in the industry anymore. It's just not the same. Or perhaps I have changed as well. Its weird but no one recognizes the talent and artisanship any more. I may just work in the restaurant biz part time here, so I retract the relo offer unless it makes perfect sense. I am a pretty good cook. Bless you all
October 2025, after 37 years, I lit that bridge on fire. The fire was gone, those years became the past, there was no turning back. It was a good run. Sometimes you gotta take that leap of Faith! Change course, change your life. That's what I did. Nowadays I can be found working the pits at one of our local BBQ establishments. Good luck to you all and may God Bless! #lifeisthepits

I think we all 60 plus are looking for a way out, last year was not a bad year but I can tell things are changing and changing faster than I like then to.

Thats for sure. Probably going next door to a meat and three and make breakfast and lunch. Then in the studio, walk the Beagle.

Remember how M&R used to be.

Yeah, Mark was emailing back and forth with me over the weekend...on his birthday. Everything is set, unit should ship out and arrive Thursday.
The plan is to keep the existing Amergraph cabinet, just remove the guts and put the new bulb in the bottom and a timer on the outside. The current unit does 2 screens at a time, and hopefully the distance is there for this one as well. If not, we'll just switch to one screen at a time and set the bulb at the appropriate distance.
It's not the cheapest route, but probably the best one for us.

And the support from Douthitt is top notch as well. Remember how M&R used to be. That's how Douthitt has always been.

Quote from Scott Adams - "your job is to find a better job"
My job is to finally actually retire! No website going on six months, and now I have to decide whether to keep my email and/or phone when we move this spring.
