101 ways to say, Good Morning to All!

It's a clear 68° on the way to 84° today.

I wish you luck, but I think it is impossible to finish an Infinity Bottle or else it ceases to be an Infinity Bottle.

91/73 with 50% chance of rain by 1pm. Lawn could use it.

Wiating for wife to get ready for lap pooli. Will have 4,400-46 yards since monday. If I swim saturday I will end up doing 5,400 4,800 yards- that is 2.5 to about 2.75 miles for the weeK!

Last night wasn't too hot outside, but when I walked out on to the back patio the humidity rate was high eneoug relative to the temprature that I gasped from the humidity. No breeze at all. First sign summer is coming soon. Within 2-4 weeks, then it is like winter for you northern guys in the sense that I do not want to leave the house like you do in the cold and snow.

Aren't you glad you know you can afford to live a good quality of life while not working there?

Yes, and you're correct it is better, Boreshead has some cheeses that are not bad either. Lucky for us our store also has a couple of good sushi makers.

Our Publix still does they senior discount on Wednesdays and their two for one sales are nice.

Just had some nice watermelon, picked one up at Shoprite yesterday. First one of the season, looking forward, to many more.

A win is a win. I’ll take it!

Caught my limit (5) of vermilion snapper, then caught some more to fill the bags of the people barfing.

Tried to catch a bigun after that but when I hooked one the taxman came to collect (shark). I was going to make another attempt but I could see the bastiges swimming around us.

Boat managed to land 7 nice amberjacks and landed another with some big shark bites taken out of it.

Nice! Generous too.

Sounds like a successful fishing excursion but I bet the fish still taste like fish. {puke}

I enjoy fishing but do catch and release since I'm not a fish eater. I typically fish in local fresh water lakes or ponds mostly for large mouth and small mouth bass, pickerel) for fun. Sometimes I get a trout on the line at this time of year (they stock the lakes around here in the spring). If I were to land a trout or a "good" eating fish I might keep it and give it to a fish eater.

Gaff the puppy-dog of da sea..??

Waiting for the prices to come down. Probably Memorial Day weekend.

Pops was always a fan of that one

Morning, Friday folks. The boy comes in tonight. A nice, early 1145pm arrival. I'm excited

Welcome to Friday youse workers. Just another day to us layabouts.

Good Friday Morning to All! It's a cloudy 72° on the way to 83° today. Going to Mother's Day lunch with my wife and oldest son.

Probably while watching "Happy Days".

Mornin Ya'll... High of 80 today... Sunny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this weather...

UPS driver dropping off packages at the neighbors, her dogs were out "Invisible Fence" he got out and gave them a treat, they barked at him as he walked the package up to the door. then they let him pet them... our dogs were out back by the fence barking so he come over to give them a treat also... I stepped out to talk with him and gave him $5 bucks, told him that's awesome he's taking time to get to know the pets on his routes... not many nowadays give this action a second thought!!! use the 5 to stock up on more treats in his travels!!!

Going to pretty much home all day.

So, weather doesn't matter.

Might do some weed spraying and house claening, but either way I am taking it real easy. Already swam 3,600yds this week with tomorrow to go 1,000-1.200 yards more. Body is just tired from the workouts 5 of the last six days. I could end-up just shy of 3 miles this week.

Wife and I plan to go Saturday to what my doc told me was the benst Italian resteraunt he's ever been to- including many in NYC. Thankfiully, it is not very expensive. We are each going to order two different things and taste everything before bringing leftovers home. I'll be able to tell my doc if I think he's right next time he asks me if I have gone there yet.

Gonna be a relaxing day!

Been awhile but I think that mighta been the last time.

Ya, that was a very nice meal...

I'd be willing to give it a try but just don't tell me it's fish so I can report with an unbiased and open minded review without preconceived prejudice. A blind fold test, if you will.

It's going good. I think I made the right choice in rejecting a previous offer and another one that was in the works from two other places. Things happen for a reason.

I still have a lot to learn though. How the processes work on all the stuff. Even stuff like all the part numbers from finished product to the hardware that goes into them (nuts, bolts, washers). Probably 1000's of part numbers. The part numbers have sort of a cryptographic thingy built built into them.

For example: MSB-4201BHB-SLOC.

MSB = the Moxie product line, slate blue color for the plastic color for the chair, bed, end table or whatever
4201BHB = quarter 20 bolt, 1 inch long, button head hex bolt with black oxide coating.
SLOC = Solid (wood) Light Oak, with Clear finish for any wood members in the assembly.

Folks that have been there for years and decades can rattle this stuff off easy and can decode it easy. Me, not so much right now. When they rattle it off, I'm like a deer in the headlights but they understand that, recognize it, and are patient with supporting the new guy in town.

It's a very warm family business feel to it rather than cold corporate feel.

$hit, we spent an hour the other day testing out rocking chairs. How does feel to rock in it? Is the seat or the back too soft or too firm? Is it easy to tip over. Is it easy to get into and out of?

Color matching is also a big thing. If we sold a product that was Cocoa brown years ago and someone wants a replacement unit, will the replacement match the colors of the stuff we sold them previously? Seems like our suppliers colors tend to drift a bit over the years (be it the stain/finish on the wood products or the plastic on the molded products). So we need to be better at establishing standard for incoming raw materials.

The owner of the company has no problem with investing into the company. He's very open to looking for improvements, feedback and willing to buy new equipment or hire new people as long as you can justify the request. He's not an ivory tower type of guy. Easily approachable and to talk with on all levels.

One frothy NINE!

Kuba gave us a reason for concern. Found an imbedded wood tick on her we couldn’t get off. Wife doesn’t handle greyhound adversity very well. Vet assistant removed it in less than 5 minutes and didn’t get charged for it.

It’s a prett good day when the worst news is losing to cigars and my one drink for the day is almost done.
