Maybe. <br />Way back I would not on a Friday night walk into work & say "I didn't bring a dinner cause we're gonna get out of here early tonight!" <br />That would cause the helicopter higher power to break one of them and we'd be there until 4am Saturday morning getting it fixed.<br /><br />If you didn't say anything we might get out early on a Friday night, happened often enough. But if you did say something all bets were off, I'd seen it go bad more than once on a Friday night. <br />Is that superstitious?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-66200418090746476312013-10-30T16:20:31.810-05:002013-10-30T16:20:31.810-05:00Hoping that pond of yours gets some water!
