Thanks for all of this wisdom....greatly appreciated. Here's a story: Back in early November, our gas grille died of rust and I desperately tried to get one on Craigslist.... mainly because I felt I wasn't going to have the time to put a new one together. I couldn't find a decent used one to save my soul....so I went to Lowes and got a new one for just a little more than what people wanted for their used grilles. Last nite we had steak....cooked on a chincy electric grill.....the new gas grille from Lowes is still in the box....unopened and unassembled from November ! I do have plans to hire someone to assemble it...when he gets free. It's been 24x7 since November. In mid-March, it goes to 0x0....I've had little to no inquiries or calls in the past 3 months....and the contracting market's about to get much worse. My autobiography title: "Zero to 100 and Back to Zero Again"....my life as an IT contractor. What a wild and crazy ride.
