of the restaurant biz that is. Seems my cook wants the place and has the money, so stick a fork in me. He's going to lease it for six months and then hopefully a complete buy out.

Looks like my next business venture will be a margarita machine rental thang. I already own one and a two tower beer tap, so I might as well use them.:happy0002

If you're happy....then CONGRATULATIONS! The guy knows a good thing when he sees it. Although I love the margarita idea but I'll bet you'll soon have another.

As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

The offended remind me of thieves. They take offense when it's not given.

I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I caught the lady I had running it stealing from me a few months ago and kicked her out. When I did that it made me spend more time in it than I wanted. I was in the process of putting it on the market and he jumped in.

I'm not going into the booze end of it as there's a lot of liability involved. I'm just going to rent the machines and sell the mixes.

Best of luck. You'll kick butt at any venture you try. You're like that. Smile

What Sara said. And if you ever need a professional team of margarita testers, you know how to find all of us.

In this case it's sorta one flows over into another.

Thanks! Right now it's Tracy wanting to kick my butt. She's wondering when I'll stop all this and really retire.Big Grin

You'll stop when it's not fun any more.

Yeah, retirement ain't exactly all that much fun. I need to be doing something I enjoy.

Thanks, JP.

That sounds like a whole lot less stress. Will you still be doing any catering?

Oh yes. I have several signed up into November. Catering is something Tracy and both enjoy, so we'll keep doing it. It's going to be a little harder not having a large commercial kitchen, though.

Good luck to you in your new business venture. I know that the restaurant business must have been pretty time-intensive, and hopefully your new venture will allow you a little more time to play.

When a thought takes one's breath away, a grammar lesson seems an impertinence.
