    Copper Creek Chit Chat, Part #4

    Drott, you party animal. You can't keep burning the candle at both ends like that! Ok....sounds like my life (except for TSC - we don't have those on the Left Coast). I worked today (even though it was a holiday). Figured a week of lazing around was enough (it wasn't). However, I banked a comp...

    And I wouldn't mind if Davante Adams has a great game, even if it doesn't matter now. ;)

    And it seems I won the fantasy league championship. It isn't over yet...but it's over. :D

    Happy New Year, everybody! I'm not watching any football games probably. I AM kind of watching the scores of all the football games though, because today determines whether I win my fantasy league or take 2nd place. I avoided all the medicinal alcohol entirely and we went to a hockey game...

    Stretchy, what a great photo! Good morning, all. We are spending NYE at a hockey game. They will have a fireworks show on the ice after the game.

    Stretchy, I'm aghast at younger son, but I hope you got to spend some time with Miss Poopy Pants!

    Yeah, heck of a timeline. To be clear, we are taking over the second half of a 600k square foot facility, not adding on. The original schedule was to start the move 7/1 and finish by 9/30. However, there was another company who was willing to take the other DC space we are vacating early, and...

    I plan on having a great time seeing my kids and grand-kids. Sadly, I can't go until April or so due to work. We are going to be expanding (doubling) my facility and the flag drops on about 1/15. We have to be in, stable, and the old facility we are closing has to be cleaned out/up by 3/31. It's...

    Just a fly-by before we leave for hockey game. Sounds like everyone had a great Christmas. We did here as well. The Indian Chick and step-son and (honorary) mother-in-law all chipped in to buy gift cards for Southwest airlines, so my spring flight to North Carolina to see my kids is paid for...

    I like the safely home before the storm hits part. I hope you made it happen. I am OFF...on VACATION. For a week. We got to send the crew home early today. Yeah, welcome to the Happiest Place. Two days of mandatory OT, then early-outs. If I could get our planners to understand what "planning"...

    James, I feel your pain and share your enthusiasm about 10 straight days off. I did the same thing - good investment of 4 vacation days to get 10 off in a row. Things have been crazy here. However, today my crew should be able to leave on time (for a change - I had to run mandatory OT the last...

    Happy Friday! I'd have more, but I'm typing this with my eyes closed....

    Punkin, Zojirushi is kind of the "Cadillac" of bread machines. They have a great reputation, but have always been expensive. You can get very good ones in the $100 range on Amazon. I have a Hitachi that I have had for 20 years or so, and has had hundreds of loaves through it. It still works great.

    Tired...so tired! Typical Christmas at the Happiest Place. My crew is tired, my managers are trying to pull rabbits out of their hats. Emergencies abound. Most of them created by the same people who are screaming "emergency"! However, all my Christmas gifts are purchased, most are wrapped and...

    I'm pretty sure I'm coming to your house for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As far as the Dot, I got one for my (9 year old) granddaughter because her daddy was complaining she keeps stealing his. She loves it. I'm pretty sure the NSA would need a camera to watch anyone on one...on the other...

    FV for the save!!! This is my favorite thing to do in the winter. Especially if there's sippin' Scotch available. And a fire. Happy belated birthday!
