Hey Mark,
I’ve been so busy the past two weeks with my second career and the most awaited moment in the CBB house. I’ll be chatting about that in the next week or so. Now that the weather has finally shown us some spring like temps I finished swapping over the winter tires and put on some new rotors. It’s a never-ending list for me. Hope you enjoy your weekend mate. Thanks for sharing CBB. Mr.CBB 🙂
Second career? Not blogging? Awaiting moment in the CBB house? Sounds exciting. All the best.
Thanks for including me, Vegas IS Customer Service, how else do you keep people who you are ripping off continue to stay (and come back)?
100% true Vegas is built on making your dreams come true and hopefully they’ll take all your money while doing it
Ha. Yeah, I’ve been to Vegas a few times. They take in lots of money and are only more than happy to do so. #sincity
I’m not so sure Vegas IS service, rather Vegas is very good at taking your money and you don’t recognize it.
People go for the brights lights and all the bells and whistles. It’s entertainment, it sells itself. 🙂
