Well, the storm has blown through. That was fun 30 minutes or so.

Here's some video of a good lightning strike and the ensuing thunder. The thunder was so loud it shook the house. You'll hear my reaction to it after it boomed.

That was pretty crazy Scott. To be honest I kinda miss the storms that Indiana has. We don't get that stuff here in California.

Good Evening Everyone!

The RFID system cut our mispicks exponetially. Our company is running at a 99.8% pick rate for 20,000+ cases per night.

He lived the farm life, was cutting down a tree and apparantly the tree fell down and either hit him, or fell on him, or something. Getting wood to heat his, and my grandmothers house.

Saddens me very much, I always got along so well with him, and had so much in common with him. Our love of vehicles, passion for fixing thing, and both being a little bit of know it alls. Im gonna miss him very much. I was really looking forward to getting this one old truck from him, and getting lots of parts, tips and advice from him regarding it.

I dont wanna sound to damn mushy/negative on here but damn, im one un happy camper right now.
Sheldon, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Brandon, do you have any idea if the warehouse is set up for SAP? I have no idea what that stands for,but it is basically a bar code scanning system that eliminates all paperwork and tracks each shipment. We are going through the training for 6 weeks is why I ask.
