Spent most of the nights this week trying to get rusted or galled bolts out of the truck front end. Trying to replace the hubs and struts as the ones that are there are shot. Resorting to heat as nothing else seems to work.
Buying a new vehicle usually works for me. . .
My friend has a dealer license so he gets me a "new" vehicle from the auctions at dealer cost. He was able to get me a salvaged vehicle of the same model/make/year as I have now, the engine and transmission were good, put in a lower mileage engine and the transmission all for $1,500. The new engine/transmission had 120,000 fewer miles than what I had.

I usually just pay someone to do that. Could I do it? Yes. Do I want to....HELL NO.
Mechanics aren't cheap up here. We'd be looking at 90-120$ per hour depending on where we go. Plus, as a benefit, my father restores old Volkswagens, so he has all the tools we need to get this thing in running order.

I have helped enough mechanics out with their computers/surveillance for their shops that they don't charge me much, as I give them a cut rate as well.

Lucky you.

Looking at potential softphone software. Bria's single group licensing has intrigued me from a management perspective.

Catching up with work and now back, trying to pack the house to move.

@EddieJennings how has twilio been as a trunk provider? Is your install of FreePBX ready to be used in production

It is. I've been pleased so far. I've had a couple of users complain once in a while of "blips" in audio, but there are a myraid of things that can cause that. We've also used Twilio for programmable voice recording for mystery shopper stuff for years with good success.

I just learned that SW can't install on Server 2016 yet. I had no idea.

That is interesting. I didn't know that either. I am guessing version 8 will allow that.

Just got some graphics put together that you all will see soon. Keep in mind, I'm terrible at graphics design, please!
Now off to meetings.

Today was "Lunch & Learn" day, which is typically a full day for us (prepare room, get food, bring in speaker, have lunch and learn, clean up, be a good host, kick host out, leave for the day).
Right now, I'm in the "be a good host" task. Speaker will typically stick around for a while in case somebody has questions and need more 1-with-1 time. If nobody has any questions, we kick out host and go home. People have questions right now.
-
@nerdydad so kick the people out and drink with the host.

@scottalanmiller YEs, that's the truth. It will run but it is not supported yet or Windows 10 for that matter.
