....Harry took off early today.
.
.
....He's going for 13 13s and only adds them on Friday the 13th.
.
.
....Harry's been working for me off and on for the last 30 years.
...........extremely reliable, honest, and productive.....
.
....I think he said he has 10 13s now, 
..............so it's gonna be a couple more years.
.
....there are at least 2 13s in the pix below.......
..........

.
...I'm only guessing....

..............I'll have to ask.....
