Last week in Baltimore, Uber charged me $85 for a trip that usually costs $20. So today, I called Lyft and was picked up by a guy named Mike. He was driving a red F-150, clearly a work truck, full of tools and lumber... I sat up front. “How far to the airport,” I asked. “Fifteen minutes,” he said. “You in a hurry?” “Not really,” I said. “Are you?” “Never.” As we merged onto the road and settled into the slow lane, I asked Mike if he was a carpenter in real life. “Among other things,” he said. “Jack of all trades?” “Well, I don’t know about that,” he said. A while ago, I was a plumber’s helper. Then I worked in the heating and air condition game.” “How was that?,” I asked. “Hot and cold,” he said. I couldn’t tell if he was making a joke or not. His voice had a midwestern drawl with no expression on his face. “After that, I started carpentry. Trim, then framing." “You retired now? “No. I build campers these days.” “What kind of campers?” I asked. “I build them small ones you can tow most anywhere. They call ‘em teardrop trailers. I build ‘em by hand, one at a time.” “Yeah? How’s the quality,” I asked. “Pretty good,” he said. “Got a website?” I asked. “Sure,” he said. “What’s your website called?” I asked. “Mike’s Pretty Good Campers.” “Your company is called 'Mike’s Pretty Good Campers?'” “I like to manage expectations,” said Mike. "Under promise and over deliver?" "That's the idea," said Mike. "Is that what you were doing before you picked me up? Building a pretty good camper?” “Yup. But I was frustrated. I don’t work when I’m frustrated. So, every now and then I step away.” “And drive a stranger to the airport?” I said. “Never too frustrated to drive.” said Mike. “Driving relaxes me. Besides, we ain’t strangers no more, are we?” “No,” I said. “I suppose not.” As we turned on Airport Road, I said, “So what’s the plan? Wait for another call? Or head back to the shop?” “Ain’t decided yet. Guess I'll see how I feel in a few minutes.” “Good plan,” I said. “By the way, if I like your website, do you care if I share it on Facebook?” “Why do you want to do that?” he asked. “I’ve got a few people who follow me on social media. Maybe some want a pretty good camper, custom made by a quasi-retired carpenter who drives for Lyft when he's frustrated?” “Can’t hurt,” said Mike. “Once people see these things, they fall in love with ‘em. They got conventions all over the country for teardrop trailer owners. Thousands show up.” As we pulled up to the airport, Mike asked me what carrier I was on. “American,” I said. “Right here is fine.” “Pre-check?” he asked. “Yes,” I said. We pulled up to the curb. I hopped out, as Mike dragged my bags out of the bed of his truck. “You look familiar,” he said. “Have I driven you before?” “I don’t think so,” I said. “I would have remembered. Thanks for the lift.” “No problem,” he said. “Was the ride okay?” "Pretty Good" Source: Mike Rowe

Equipment

@GoldenKnight_II @UCF_MBB @SonsofUCF Missed layups and free throws

@UCF_MBB @SonsofUCF Another embarrassing performance by a poorly coached team. JD needs to go

Got lost in the fight in Philly

@BleacherReport That and 50% or less from the FT line and 12 missed layups = defeat ripped from the jaws of victory

Own goal 😬 UCF's John Bol accidentally scores on his own basket... Watch March Madness on TNT Sports

@SSN_UCF Like missed free throws

@TopTierUCF 4/14 from the line and 12 missed layups ! Inexcusable by UCF, and not looking prepared

Literally and figuratively just throwing this opportunity away. Ugly ugly game all around. It's a miracle they're not up by 30.

Sad to see @UCF_MBB go down like this - very winnable game ! Too many turnovers and bad shot selections..

If you remember what movie this bad guy is from, we can be homies.

@CoachKeepitReal It’s a great area !

I am moving permanently to Florida very soon. Been spending a lot of time in Orlando / Tampa area. Texas and California it has been real.

@CountyPolk @Hoops863 @PolkSchoolsNews Love hearing about some of those who set the foundation here at ASA

@AndrewRamjit @UCF6JB Congratulations- hard work paid off !!

They said it could not be done. That Florida would never change. That unions and school districts would never allow it to happen. They were right about one thing. Systems like that never change on their own. But here is what they got wrong. I was never going to take no for an answer. For nearly 50 years, Florida high school coaches put in hundreds, even thousands of unpaid hours. Time away from family. Long nights. Early mornings. Unpaid summers. All for the kids and the profession. These men and women give everything to our students, schools, and communities, yet for decades they were treated like they did not matter. Today, that injustice ended. 4 years of advocacy, sacrifice, and relentless work. Hours of research. Hours of strategy. Days without sleep. Every single moment led here. It was not easy. But it was worth every second to know tens of thousands of lives are about to change because we refused to stay quiet and we stood together. This was never about personal legacy. It was always about the profession. No matter what unions or school districts claim, coaching is a profession, and those who give so much will finally get the respect they deserve. To our team at @PayFLCoaches, the thousands of coaches who believed, the sponsors who backed us, and my wife and kids who carried me when I was ready to throw in the towel... WE DID IT! #PaidFLCoaches

@GatorsFB - will coaches be able to see practice the night before the coaches clinic ?
