Someone should send that to Howie Long!!

Here is a cool old video. It's about 11 minutes long and a little redundant but still cool. All you tractor lovers should get a kick out of it.

I guess thats pretty good, since the top score you can get is a 190! I'm pretty happy with that, seeing as how I haven't been in college for 4 years....and I didn't study for this test. Apparently you're supposed to study for it, and I didn't know that until this morning when I started the test. Oops.

I was almost late for it..which is bad because I paid $180 to take this freakin thing. I almost ran out of gas in Randy's Jeep on the way there. :-)

How is everyone else's day going? Nice pull there Pat!!!
Congradulations!
Diesel lover, smart, and purdy! You have any sisters on the east coast?!

I spent my day at the bank trying to get them to put my business name on my account so I could deposit my checks. Man I was pissed. Had to wait til the CEO got back (family friend) and I was out in 30 seconds after that. No hard feelings for them if they told me they didnt know what they were doing but when you give me the run around for an hour it pisses me off a little.

Hope everyone is havin a good Friday thus far! Im doin great now Im home and got my 1000 rouds of .308 in!

When I was getting my free oil changes I always made an appointment for a few days down the road & would even remind them to get the filter & proper oil. Only once did not have the filter on-hand.

My jeep was the same way, free oil changes I bitched about having to drive so far to do it but when its free oh well. They gave my free oil changes with the truck also but I have to take it to a Chrysler stealership to have it done. I tried that once....... I waited for almost 2 hours before they came and told me they didn't have a filter for my truck and it would be another hour before they could get it. Needless to say I was a little pissed off, got my keys back, said a few choice words to him and never returned.
Thanks Cris! You know, at that dealership, you are probably known as the little fiery b*tchy lady in the big Powerstroke. I bet they still talk about you.

All of my sisters are in Colorado, and either married, or too young for you! Sweet talker.

People hate to admit it when they can't or don't know how to do something. They stalled because they didn't want to tell you they couldn't do their jobs.

Check this out. Here is what Randy did today. Cleaned up this mess: This bad boy was hit by a train. I have no idea how fast the train was going..but the farmer is alive and in stable condition. It was his lucky day.

Man, that's a lot of hay in the background.... glad to hear the farmer is OK. Bet he had fun out in the cold!

I guess there was quite a bit of blood on the bench in the tractor..so he cut it close today. Maybe Jacob can stop in and let us know what kind of machine that is.

That's one lucky farmer, Lisa!


My day wasn't near as exciting but something really funny happened during a meeting that I was in this afternoon.


We had our monthly field failure analysis meeting today. There are half dozen or so engineers, me (production manager), the plant manager, QA manager, a couple of analysis techs, and a sales VP all in this meeting. The enginner that was hosting the meeting presents a slide show of data for the past three years and at the end of it we had a Q&A session. The plant manager asks, "Do you have the minutes from last meeting?", to which the engineer responds, "Yeah, let me pull that up". He minimizes the Powerpoint presentation and starts going through folders on his laptop looking for this document. While he's doing this, we can all see the contents of his laptop up on the screen. He opens some folder and all of the sudden all of these thumbnails open up and are on the screen.

His wife....butt *** naked. I recognized her from the picnic last summer.

Everyone was like

She looked pretty good too.....

I bet he's in HR right now.

Oh trust me, he didn't offend me, not at all. Problem is there are lots of snitches there and I am sure that sales VP ran straight to HR and IT.

I thought it was cool.
