    Every year, this time of year is my favorite.. getting ready for the holidays and ski season too!

    So getting psyched up for it and letting go of riding season, only really takes a couple hours, or going back to 1969 and watching Downhill Racer. DHR has been re-issued in Blu-ray and it is fantastic. Multi-channel Surround sound and interviews with the Director, the Robert Redford stunt double that did all of the fabulous downhill racing shots and many of the major actors, all now in their 70s. Consider this the Steve McQueen/Bullitt of the ski racing crowd. It has everything, all of the ski racing gear of 1968, a PLOT!, on location shooting at the finest ski resorts/mountains in Europe and a morale.

    This is worth watching even if you don't ski. It has withstood the test of time and is classic movie.

    Last time I had to do it was right before i planned on putting in my 2 weeks notice. Good people working for a chitty company. Everybody got the maximum raise which still left them well below the poverty level. I'd like to think they appreciated it.

    Off work today so the propain man can come and take the pig. They filled it against my wishes. I called them and they said they will bring me a full 120 gallon tank (still want furnace backup) and credit me back for my full 500 gal tank. Half of the propane was purchased over a year ago so I thought that was a great deal.

    Gonna spend the rest of the day with the gf. Haven't seen her in a couple days. I'm sure we'll find something to do.:whistle:

    Mutleys fed, boiler fed, battery for tractor put back on charger to finish charging. Caffeine and computer time. :D Then time to make the wife's coffee and breakfast for all. I do this every morning. Best time of the day, and it makes the wife's mornings easy for her. :thumbs:

    I won't go there, because you know what might be just around the corner.

    I've never had to have to do it, since the owner usually does them. But since he's lost contact with the plant floor I get the duties. We are going to try to figure out how to get more off my platter, so I can work on more pressing issues. More or less taking a step back to get the model realigned.

    Propane pig swapped. Got a full 120gal, and credit for another FULL fill. Was hoping for a check for the balance, but I guess I don't have to worry about gas for awhile. Only use it for back up and the occasional quick warm if I've been gone awhile while the stove warms.

    Now on to the festivities. No kids, no work, no chores today. Just a quiet day alone with the little lady. What else could a guy ask for?

    Our business model needs to be realigned to what we need to focus on... Our business has shifted from relying so heavily on the automotive market to other markets. Hopefully to a more stable market.
