State of the Economy--Lookin' Good!

My shop is a little more busy. Although on a sad note my buddy was let go from his job of 15 years as an hvac guy due to lack of business and we live in Northern Va. home of lots of jobs!?! He was given no severance pay! Loyalty is skin deep. I will keep my comments on the economy to myself until I see some constant progress. I am glad to see others are doing better. Now if we can get unemployment down we would be doing great. I guess we have to take baby steps.
