on the manufacturing side, I think we should have honestly shut the doors for a month or two. We are down to nearly a skeleton crew in the shop and the work they are doing is busy work building inventory which is just gonna slow our pickup even more. We have just over 10 times the inventory we should have at the moment.
I have been watching the corporate internal (get your buddy a job) list and its been growing for the past few months. Lots of work in the north east.

thats old news...

 

G'night DTR.

 

Ya thats a tough choice, No matter what you do, it is hard to sleep at night.

Ouch, that is gonna hurt come tax time...

My company is down to 8 drillers, but new contracts are coming online as we speak so things should start picking up. I have a sneaky suspicion that they will watch things a little closer this time!!!!

That would be great except that the work would be in the north east!!!!


G'night Matt

 

Night Shift on deck, fresh coffee brewing, wait for the Klaxon to sound and the cooling water to drain before opening the Coffeemaker...

OK, out of here, too much on the agenda today including a difficult tenant. Oh well, such is life. Me be gone,

Bob

 

Mornin" All!

Back in the slammer again.......

I actually got a second cup of coffee outta the pot today before all of the sergeants and admin staff drank it all up. Yesterday was horrible. I'd brew a pot and when I turned around, it was all gone. Made about 6 pots and only got a cup or 2. I don't mind sharing but man you would think the guys in the higher paygrades could pitch in once in a while....... Might have to give up caffeine again for a while.

 

Thats the colorful response I was thinkin you'd give!

It wasn't what I said...she was mad at my brother for running late.


JUst use one of Scotts socks instead.

Yeah it went very well. Mexico has alot of pretty spots and they know how to relax there! The water and beach look like they came out of a corona commercial. We're already thinking about planning a vacation next year to go back to Riveria Maya.


Morning DTR. It started raining last night and is still raining now. Got some standing water in the yard in a few spots. The sump pumps are running every other min. I think we have enough rain now. Parts for dads honda should be in around noon. Gonna put that back together then meet the wife for lunch since she is out early today.

 

Night shift finally dragging its sorry hiney to bed... Night all, someone power up the reactor this evening so as I got some coffee when I come back in...in about 7 hours...


Do you say "good night" when its mid-day???


ponderingthatwhilesnoring...........CD

 

No it wasn't!

Just got back from the TV station... Michael was on. Jake was on. They told me I had a face for radio and made me stand off to the side.

One more BIG event tomorrow, then fire safety stuff is done for awhile. I think. We'll probably give away upwards of 5000 smoke alarms tomorrow and countless 9 volt batteries.

Raining here now, HARD. Got to go pick up around the sawmill and bring in the water lube jug as it's supposed to get cold tonite and I don't want it to freeze.

Later,

chaikwa.

 

I do. It ain't tomorrow until you wake up.


Beauty sleep only goes so far then you have to get out the clippers and a razor........

 

Our propaganda;



chaikwa.

 

Try to get into Chitzen Itza and Tulum - - quite amazing - - reminded me of Egypt. Great diving right along thru there but watch the sharks.

Gee, we could use a little around here - - been dry. Supposed to "maybe" get some on Sunday eve. Hope so.

Grabbing a cup and get out of here. Be good,
Bob
