Chair Repair...

That's Lorrie's chair.
That is also Lorrie's repair job.

Lorrie is at it again!

So, I thought I had to sneak up on Lorrie but as you can see I was pretty safe
over by the calender... Once in awhile he'll wake up to catch me oddly close to his
sleeping brother. He wakes from his slumber to see me, with phone in hand,
hovering over the defenseless Louie. I weasel my way out of the situation, usually
without a photo...

Tower of Power

The Tower Of Power.
One day I'll open one of these and take a look. As I understand it these are tax papers. I think there may be enough of these to build a modest fort. And what is that case? A plane's missing flight recorder?

This is the type of shit...

This is the type of shit I have to deal with here at Prime.

David,

I am adding another Team board to the order below. This time do not ask our driver"What do you want now". I do not understand why you always give people attitude, many of our shops owners would rather have Prime ship their orders instead of picking them up because they do not like dealing with you. Try smiling sometime it may improve your overall personality with the public you deal with . After all without their business you would not have a job.

Diana

This was in my mail box this morning. If you are reading this chances are you know that I'm an ass but I would also hope that you would know that I'm just a sarcastic asshole. Not sure that makes a difference and maybe I should tone it down at times but in this case I say fuck it. Diana works for a skateboard company called Armada. She is the mother of the owner, Al Garcia. She felt the need to step in to deal with me (and Prime) because Al was upset with my honesty. Without going in to a long back story I will simply state two examples that will explain my shitty attitude, or non-smiling, as Diana might say...

#1: Armada has bounced a check for $20. Not once but twice.

and

#2: Armada orders are usually in the ball park of 1 or 2 decks at a time. I do not have time (and believe me when I tell you how much of my and Erika's time they take up) to deal with a company or shop that can not produce orders of any quantity let alone pay for them...

This is some kind of hobby time and should be treated as such. Did I ask the poor kid "what do you want now?" You can probably guess that I did but as I said before - fuck it. You have to be kidding me when you roll in for 2 boards. And these orders, for the most part are for the "team". It is rare that a shop places an order. I know I'm a little rough but I do have a number of customers that have stuck with me over the past 10years of skateboard sales excellence. That's got to count for something right..? Why Phil (the missing Prime brother - he's not here often enough for me to take a photo) deals with Al and his Armada I'll never know. I just do not get it....

Abrasive Specialties!

So, the best thing going in the damn place is on the side of a box. A box.

Hu?

Found this chillin on the drill press. I don't know.

LORRIE!

Here we have Lorrie in his youth. Of course this is a photo of himself on the wall behind his desk.
You smooth devil you.
