That is good news about Mike, glad he is hanging in there. I can understand the RL thing getting in the way. Thanks for the update Dan.

He's hanging in there, just has some other things going on right now and has basically had to put FTE way on the back burner. I asked him to drop by and let everyone know he was all right and still kicking, so we'll see if he actually does so.

Now to get hold of Karl and get an update from him too...!
I was hanging out at home most of the day, which is over on the east side. Coulda showed you the Cummins eater in the garage.

Update from the DR., I got a hairline fracture on my foot. They put me in a walking boot, and work light duty for 4 weeks.

That sucks about the hairline fracture, but it is cool that you can continue to work, can't have any disruption of income these days.

That is a very good thing, except our union contract is up on Saturday. A company that makes billions per year, and not willing to negotiate with our benefits yet. Possible strike very soon, 50k employees from at&t and verizon have unsettled contracts.

Wow, if it is not one thing, it is another. Do they honestly believe they can stay in business with no employees? Unreal....
