How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?


I have not posted much lately, it's sort of like the tree that falls in the woods though, nobody is here to notice. I have been mired in a grand project at work. We are having the clutch and brake rebuilt in our 500 ton press. We are outsourcing the heavy work. When I went out to the press and saw the two greasy angry looking guys hammering on the clutch, I knew I had made the right decision. The grinch style repair will take about 3 weeks and while the press is down I want to get other systems like the lube and air back to tip top condition. Other parts are getting souped up. When we are done, this press will either be the pride of our fleet or my greatest failure (that business on Cato Nemoidia doesn't count).

This past week I have been working long hours and have been distant even when I'm home but like other projects that have kept me away, the final result will be improved productivity which means less work for me.

Darn right. Work hard now so you don't have to work harder later.
