    You know what...good for you sir. You asked a good question of the forum members and you got all our input, even my off the wall one,think i was a six pack deep that night, and then made your decision. Maybe others would say you could have done better or gotten a better deal but i think that by being a stand up, honest man with this yard owner is something that no one can put a value on and which will probably pay off for you somewhere down the line. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

    Thanks alot Ray. One of the biggest problems i have with being a "business man" is that im maybe too honest. Ive often cut a little outa my pie to make sure i dont burn any bridges and keep my customers happy. One of my best traits is that i can read people very well. I played poker professionally for several years and became very good at reading people. I knew that if i threw out a crazy amount to this man that he would take it personally and would never forget the time "Mike tried to screw me" I am a big believer in karma and i truely believe i will get ten fold what i give, be it good or bad. I have to admit ray I almost spit my beer all over my laptop when i read your 15k suggestion. lol. I may not be much of a business man but i sleep sound at night with a clear conscience.
