Excellent! Bonuses are always nice but when its a surprise bonus it's even better! Good luck with the kitchen remodel and Mods on the Camaro!

I should clarify I knew I was getting a bonus what surprised me was how large it was. It was easily the biggest bonus I received in my working career so far. It was very generous of the previous ownership to give back to the employees that helped make the business successful over the years when they sold it.

The company I work for calls it profit sharing, not bonus. I left the Biggest medical device manufacturer in the country and moved to a small company. You are right about a company giving back to those who make it happen, we get quarterly profit sharing that is more than my yearly bonus with the big company. My yearly bonus now is the same as my salary with the big company.

I lucked out when I moved to a small company.

Bonus? Profit sharing? What? These are not concepts I am familiar with. Oh yeah, I work in the non-profit Community Mental Health field.

Good for you Zandron! Can't wait to see the new mods.

Well we dodged a bullet! Hurricane Hermine was the first Hurricane to hit Florida in 11 Years! It's still windy here in Jacksonville but we've had very little rain. Good news is that Hermine has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm and we're supposed to have Fantastic Weekend!

Hope Everyone has a Safe Labor Day Weekend!

Good news Trick.

I see a red storm zone over my buddy in St. Pete, but he said he is OK.

Have a great weekend everyone.

It came dead over my daughter in Havana but they are okay too, just no power. Her first hurricane. Not sure yet about her workplace, Ruby Tuesday Restaurant in Tallahassee.

That's great news Jan! That area was the hardest hit with flooding from the storm surge. Hope she gets her power back soon!

Hope everyone has a Safe Labor Day Weekend!

Went to a cruise last night, since it was below 100°. I took a few photos, and deleted all but this one.

Have a safe holiday everyone.

Do you have air bags on that? The back looks high.

Nope, stock suspension is on it. Might just be my shooting angle making it look high.
