+++ MLK JR Day Check +++
I am working tomorrow, as my employer (based out of Sweden and not the U.S.) does not have it on the holiday calendar. Wife and kids are all off. I expect it to be quiet at work since many or most of our customers will also have the day off
Re: +++ MLK JR Day Check +++
I'm off ( I feel like I should add something here but that would seem daft )

Off? I’m reading this in bed!
Yes I’m off but it’s because it’s January

Our office is open, but I no longer work Mondays, so I'm off.
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste

No, we do not. I made a similar comment at work. I don't know who MLK's Swedish equivalent is.

Fman probably works for Kran Pool Forum Internationella Huvudkontoret.

I actually work for a company most folks have heard of, as they manufactured automobiles that were sold here in the US for many years, and are generally one of the two company names most associated with Swedish cars in the states.Benjamin Grimm wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 8:54 am Fman probably works for Kran Pool Forum Internationella Huvudkontoret.

Even duct tape can't fix stupid. But it can sure muffle the sound.

Saab had cool designs back in the day, the big wheels dated to their origin as an aircraft maker. But zsaabs also had a reputation as troublesome cars to repair. My old boss had one and would only trust one mechanic in the city to fix it
Re: +++ MLK JR Day Check +++
Volvos and Saabs were always expensive to maintain.

I hadn't realized that Saab was no longer putting out autos.
Didn't Ove* think -- not think, Know! -- that Saabs were superior to Volvos? (or was it the other way around?)

According to Car and Driver, although Saab and Volvo came from Sweden , neither were particularly good in the snow.
Saab continues to design and produce some of the best fighter aircraft in the world and Volvo never got into that business.
