Over Time?

     The craziness at work has settled down a little, maybe.  Everyone is settling into new roles as we get ready to turn more of the department topsy turvy.  We are even working overtime as we continue trying to catch up before things go crazy again.

     As for myself, in all of this, I've been working on our standard work procedures - trying to figure them out so we can track everybody as to what they are doing.

     Here at home, the kids finally got their ski trip in after canceling three times and now the oldest boy is waiting to go to the chiropractor to be put back in place.

Crazy Work

     Work has been crazy as of late.  We are in the middle of a major re-layout involving moving our clad double hung windows to the Grafton plant, while moving things around and bringing into the plant the ultimate casement windows from the Grafton plant.  And we are doing this while keeping production running - at higher speeds or at least trying to.

Book Worm-ing

     For Christmas this past December I received gift cards from Amazon.com - a favorite shopping spot of mine. I like shopping there because I can often find used books in good shape and this year is no different. I decided to again increase my library and this time I chose the following:

• Mysterious Universe - A Handbook of Astronomical Anomalies

• The Ultimate Proof of Creation

• The Mythology of Modern Dating Methods

• Genetic Entropy & The Mystery of the Genome

• Why People Don't Believe: Confronting Seven Challenges to Christian Faith

• Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design

• Dragons or Dinosaurs

• Creation: Facts of Life (Revised & Updated)

• The Questions Christians Hope No One Will Ask: (With Answers)

     I'll be reading for awhile - If I can find time.

Shoveling

     This past weekend we got some snow and as a result we needed to have our driveway and turnaround cleared out.  No problem I have a snow blower that doesn't want to start so with the help of my oldest boy, we shoveled, and shoveled and shoveled some more. Now if it warms up above zero I might go out and finish it.

     In the mean time, the temperatures here have gone from 50.5 on my new thermometer on Thursday to -22.4 Sunday morning.  It doesn't sound like well get much above zero this week and next week it sounds like the cold is suppose to come.  -22.4 is not really that cold for this time of year..

New Computer

     I've been wanting to upgrade the computer in our living room for a while for my wife and early last week it started making funny noises and shutting down and not starting up and......  I think it was the hard drive going.  So, I found an excellent deal, ordered up everything I needed, and on Tuesday, built a new computer.  I have most of the software that is needed loaded back on and was able to retrieve all the needed files, pictures, etc from the old hard drive.  This time I actually built the new one and it wasn't for me......
