Default Dang good day for a Monday

I do some angel capital investing. In January the best deal I have ever seen was pronounced dead to us b/c they found a fund that wanted to give them 10× what my group could afford. I did not take well to that and called the guy and offered a different take on the deal. During the conversation we realized he didn't need as much capital as he thought he did. We hammered out the details on a new deal today and it's a go. Then my neighbor called. My driveway connects directly to a 4 lane 50 mph (ostensibly) highway with no merge lane. It has been under construction for close to 8 years now and the original plan did not include improvements to our drive. TDOT has rethought that position and now we are going to get a protected access road.

thank you for investing in Brinkman Industries. we hope to bring product to market by 2023, at which point you'll have forgotten about us, and we can skip town with most of your money and our place in Brazil will be done by then.




sorry, wrong number....

A really big save for you both; well done!

Being able to offer accurate guidance when somebody is offering an open check book is a real blessing/gift.

That driveway of yours was the suck. Guessing this will be completed in another 10 years?

Currently still is. This is a recent view trying to gauge oncoming traffic for the scratch-off start into (ostensibly) 45mph traffic.
