Nicely done. I'm sure you feel much better about yourself for doing it right.

No, I would have been quite comfortable doing a truly half-ass job. It was the cajoling from the gallery that forced me to do a quality job. That, and I know Bob P. is watching and grading me.

If that's a quality job, I'm glad you're not a brain surgeon.

Forget Peter-you can buy his loyalty with a sub with the works on it.

Putnam only watches you because he has to jump to answer every ERA question directed to him, before you do.

It's Ted and Doug you have to fear. If you ever go near there again, they have sworn to bludgeon you to death with a third roll bar after you desecrated the car with the second. They are also puking over the license light housing with five holes in it for your Menudo light show. Can purple neon under the pipes be far behind...

Certainly not jealous of your building skills which caused the problem in the first place.
