4 treadmill miles here. Since getting the machine fixed, I'm loving it more.  I met with a new sales rep who's company had been a staple as long as I can remember. In the three + years that I've been back with the company, their quality has plummeted. Has getting the issues from the material side of things addressed, the craftsmanship had taken a dump. They're on the rebound now. A lot of damage has been done. I told the guy that we will have a working relationship. I hope it's friendly, but it doesn't have to be. Six months ago, I was unloading full semi trucks for our property. Then I told him that he should know where the numbers are now. Now it's about 13% of that.

We still have no GM. My department is getting audited again before the 31st because it's the easiest one to generate a paper trail. . I told the acting GM that's I'll do a random 50%.

Mornin' everyone.

Great GGKP, Steve! I'm glad that supplier is on the rebound - hope they keep up the good work. Good luck with another audit.

We've been trying to get the phone co. here for the last month 'cause our internet upload and download speeds are less than half of what they should be. They didn't show for the 1st appointment, rescheduled the 2nd an hour before their window closed on that day, and didn't show again for the 3rd. When we called, they didn't do any more than try to reschedule again, with no assurances that someone would actually show up. This is really customer service at it's worst. So we're looking at other providers.

I was dragging through the day yesterday, so opted to sleep in this morning. Really, it was doze in, but it still felt good. Now I feel guilty for not having gone out for a few miles, but that'll pass.

Have a greta Friday, and I'm wishing fleet feet and big grins to this weekend's racers.

Thanks, Steve.  Cute baby!

2.5 on the treadmill this morning.  Our department party last night was fun.  We really have a great group and we all adore our boss (EVP/General Counsel).  They have (of course) a gorgeous home.  We were home by 9:30, but all the after-work stuff this week has worn me out.     My staff has our Christmas lunch/party today at the office and we are doing some sort of games and a Secret Santa gift exchange.

Will check in later.  Joe-  since I went to IU (where I developed my love of college basketball), Purdue is the enemy! 

Quite the happy baby!  It seems like all they do is audit you, Steve.  That's what you get for being so good at it.

More dog walking for me.  have to figure out how to squeeze in a run here and there.  I think you're supposed to wait until at least 6 months before any major running with your dog.  Have to work on a little more even pace training before that will work, though.  DW is averaging around 15000 steps a day with her new training partner.  I'm impressed!

I'm joining the walkers this morning. A little 4-mile hike down to the riverside with TriBee. Beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks, Steve.  Cute baby!

Adorable baby, Steve, thanks!

So funny about the IU vs Purdue thing, Karen.   It's intense.   Yet, interestingly, the acidity is much less now than it was in the Bob Knight vs Gene Keady era.   Both programs have morphed quite a bit.    That said, there is still an intense rivalry and it's a good year when both IU and Purdue are competitive.   This year, looks like both will be battling for a spot in the middle of the Big Ten, though.    I have a degree from both institutions, yet my emotions are totally Purdue.   Even found a wonderful Purdue singlet to race in this fall, in fact I'll very likely wear it at Boston in April.

Rest day here, will go long tomorrow.   And an evolving story about running with my 14 year old grandson is taking shape.   More on that to follow.

Have a greta Friday all.

Joe

I had a big issue in Florida because we are pet friendly and the inspector said that we couldn’t allow pets in the store since we had a food license.  I said, “Are you kidding me?  Because of the CANDY BARS?”

 

Then bring on the donuts! 

Cute pic, StevieP.

2Kitty - Nice interval training!  You take what you can get.

My workout was power walking the 2 1/2 blocks to the Sheriff's Office (which is in the courthouse) to get my Livescan done to re-up my notary commission, then taking the elevator up 5 flights to the Recorder's Office to find out why they wouldn't record something the other day then realizing I'd forgotten one of the documents, then walking down 5 levels of stairs, back the 2+ blocks to the office, up 2 flights of stairs at our office, down the hall to my office to grab the document, back down the hall and down 2 flights of stairs, back over the the courthouse, walk up 3 levels of stairs realizing how out of shape I am so take the elevator the last 2 levels, record said documents, walk down 5 levels of stairs again, then back to the office, up 2 levels of stairs and down the hall to my office.  Whew!

Yesterday I thought I was either dying or going back in time.  Turns out there are - um . . . well . . . - side effects for not getting your HRT prescriptions filled in time and going without them for 4 days . . . 

I'm starting to let certain clients know I'll be out of the office for at least 2 weeks.  The panicking has begun! 

Happy Friday, Friends ~~

I like the GGKP but done know what EVP means for TCS.

Another happy walker with Mt. Rainier coming out of the darkness 100 miles to the south and Mt. Baker 160 miles to the north but even happier today than the last two days because, instead of the 4.5 and 3.1 miles caused by inadvertent pausing then, almost exactly duplicated the 5.06 miles cycled on the same on MapMyRide with this morning's MapMyWalk showing 5.10 miles so have to admit my bicycle cyclometer has been shortcanging me a half mile for the past two year thinking the morning 'mute's been 5.0 miles when it was actuall only 4.5.  No matter, still just as fun. .
