oh boy, for printing out pp's you've just got to have a laserjet, those inkjet type printers just won't don't cut it.

i have to agree though, the office paper/printing is a nice fringe benefit. i give my office printer a good workout.

Yesterday my printer printed things faster than it ever has before.
Therefore, it is sure to bounce today and print my Saturday PPs very slowly.

No one brings their laptop to the track? It's funny when I bring it to my local simulcast place. People constantly come up to me and are amazed that the PPs are on a computer.

well i'm afraid that was just a poor training job, you know you can't bring them back on only one days rest. most likely it may need to be turned out for a freshening.

I have brought mine before, but in the past, I was afraid of it getting stolen because I am never really sitting down, I spend 75% of my time in front of an Amtote, another 10% watching races, and then the final 15% at the amtote while watching races.

That worked real well for my Dad when I was 19 and dating an 'older' man of age 28. LOL

Good luck on that one! Haha!

Not looking to marry her. Just painfully obvious to me the girl is in need of some "guidance" after finishing up her first year of college. It can be a confusing time in a young womans life and I just want to make sure she is able to experience all of life pleasures that she may be curious about. It is my duty as a man...


besides...my intentions are pure

Only Top Shelf for ya, huh Kev? We used to have a crew at the simulcast parlor we called the "Heineken" crew. They would show up only on big race days, order dozens of Heinekens, then argue about who lost the most money. Haven't seen them in a while.
