It's amazing the positions you can get tools and yourself into when you don't want to get out more crap.

So 2 days ago my neighbors battery died because she accidently fell asleep in her car with the radio on. She knocked on my door as I was about to leave for pool, A min later and she would have missed me. She asked me to jump her car because she had somewhere to be. I gladly did it and she said thanks and we went on our way. As Im leaving my place last night, I see something sliden under my door, I pick it up and its a gift card to Starbucks with a note saying thanks for the help score!

it's actually because i have a set of double flex head racheting wrenches from matco. without it, i probably would have had to go from underneath.

1. Good Microsoft convention in Las Vegas (great weather, great location, great sites)
2. Getting XBOX 360 250gb with Kinect as a free parting gift for attending and speaking for half an hour at the convention
3. Great win in Vegas at a Blackjack tourney.

All that for an $1800, 3-day conference; $400 plane ticket, and a $1200 hotel stay....that my employer and a vendor paid for.
