Fleeting Entrepreneurial Contentment
Big Red Car here. Ahhh, The Boss had a terrific day of pressure washing <<<link here yesterday and is about half through with the backyard. Nice to see the Old Boy get his relaxation on from time to time. He seems so damn content.
So The Boss was visiting with one of his brilliant CEOs and with no prodding the CEO offered up that times were good and he hoped he did nothing to screw it up.

In Praise of Pressure Washing
Big Red Car here. Ahhh, lots of rain and a bit cooler. Hell, it’s 51F right now but it’s going to 84F this afternoon and the sun is going to shine for a week or so. Ahh, bring the sun to the Big Red Car and let me bask in its glory.
So, through the years I have watched The Boss do his thing. And one of the things The Boss does is pressure washing. [Haha, I know what you’re thinking but this is a serious matter nonetheless. Yes, Old Sport, pressure washing.]

Board Duties — Handle With Care II
Big Red Car here. Wow, we had a very nice rain last night replete with lightning, thunder and wind. Ahhh, it was the best. We desperately need water to fill the area lakes. The lakes have been down a bit since 2011 but they are building back with the recent rains. In the last month, water levels are up almost four feet.
So today we finish up our discussion on the nature of Board duties. We began the discussion here <<<link, so check that prior post before launching into this one.

Occam’s Razor — A Rule For Simpletons
Big Red Car here. The Boss was up very early this morning and out to the lakehouse and back almost before dawn. He’s been a busy beaver these days.
He was meeting with someone who was trying to explain something to him that he believed was very simple. The Boss likes simple. In fact, he often says that he IS a simpleton meaning thereby that he likes simple things.
