Went to IWF in Atlanta a week or so ago and had a great time. Today, a big,
heavy box showed up on the doorstep. My initial thought was "oh, crap, did
I order something and forget to clear it with "the boss"?". Couldn't think
of anything, so I opened the box right there in her presence. Lo and
behold, the box contained a brand spanking new Porter Cable 894PK router
kit - motor, plunge base, new GripVac base and assorted other little
goodies. And then I remembered - I had taken a survey at the PC booth at
IWF. They wanted to hear from users of their industrial quality tools. The
survey took 15 minutes and the drawing every day was for an 894PK. They
didn't notify me I had won - it just showed up. What a pleasant surprise!
Next week, I expect they will be delivering the Viper I registered for at
another booth.

Sorry, I'm expecting the Viper and the PT Cruiser sometime next week.
If only they'd go ahead and notify me now!....

In heaven, there is no beer,
That's why we drink it here,
And when we're all gone from here,
Our friends will be drinking all the beer!
