Default Let's go visit Derrick!

Road trip! Well, not quite - at least not till you land in Taipei.

Derrick get's married on Dec 28 with a reception dinner on Jan 1st. He'd like us to get there a couple of days earlier to paint the town red with him. There have been some ideas tossed around of stopping in Japan (Honda Museum, Spoon, Mugen etc etc) before going to Taiwan.

Any interest?

We are going to get into so much trouble in Taipei


Scott, I hear your customers are lining up out the door. Find some time and start spending some of that mullah stacked all over your house

Well, I think a round trip ticket to Taiwan would be roughly $800. Not sure how much more if we make a stop in Japan

Food Taiwan is pretty cheap... could get a nice meal for between $3 - $5. At fancy places... between $10 to $15

Hotel charges ($80 - $150/night) could add up if we stay there for the full duration between getting married and reception dinner - 5 days in itself + bachlor outings prior to getting married. I don't think I can stay that long in Taiwan by itself anyway so I have to figure this out myself...

Yes it has been crazy , but not crazy profitable .

Problem being is finding help that has a clue . Everytime I get some one to help to make up time I loose more fixing what they have done or have to stop what I am doing to give them a lesson on tuning a wrench .

This week I tried some one . UTI graduate and has worked at 2 dealers .........no clue ....in lala land half of the time . I can point everyblot out and hand them the tools required to do the job and they still cant figure it out ???? I think with the age of computers that common sense has left the building .
