I'm trying to decide if I should mix or wait a bit. It's nice to try new mixes but I have a lot mixed.
I have a bunch steeping as well. About 10 different mixes, plus 3 or 4 SFTs. I've had the 2nd attempt of Rhubarb Custard Biscuit steeping for about a month now. I might give that a shot today.

    Good morning mixers. It's definitely Monday. I was here at work for about ten minutes when one of our guys came in and said this customer dropped off their machine for repair again. I almost never have people bring stuff back after I repair it but this guy had this really old welder that I repaired and it was working perfectly when it left the first time. A week or so later he brings it back and the fuel pump had failed. I charged him for the part but no labor since he just had it in. Then I guess this morning he brought it back again and I'm really aggravated about it. I don't know what he's doing after it leaves here but both times it has worked perfectly when it left. I'm going to start with that first thing this morning because it's going to bug me until I know what is going on. I absolutely hate return work like that.

    Hope it's something simple.

    I actually only have 2 steeping. Just a lot of the ones I like mixed.

    "Costly callbacks"

    I would never return equipment to a customer if it wasn't working correctly. The last time I even had one of our guys come in and watch it run to verify that I was sending it back in working order. I'm going to get off my .... now and go move it into the shop to work on.

    Today I’m going through a ton of paperwork and stuff from that one bookshelf in my office (which looks so much better now that I organized it). It’s so easy to just throw stuff in the plastic bin (and some stuff was thrown in a box and put downstairs when I had company coming). I have a feeling there is some tax info, pictures, junk, stuff to be filed, and probably more keepsakes. I actually found a notebook from my son’s senior year of high school. That was three years ago. o_O So that bookshelf was a little behind before I got better about keeping up with things. I’m a firm believer now of everything having a place. Not sure why I let this one area go like this. I’m off today for our MLK holiday.

    I have a note from Haylie my 9 yr old grand kid and it's my prize possession. She wrote it probably 2 years ago and it says "Good Morning Papa! I love you and OINK! Also have a super amazing day. Love Haylie xoxox" I would NEVER get rid of it!

    Oh and the OINK was because we were watching Peppa Pig the night before.

    Awwww...:wub: I’m glad I’m not the only one.

    I’m making progress. I found pictures of my beloved memaw. Old concert tickets (3 zztop, kiss, ozzy osbourne, matchbox 20, lynyrd skynyrd with Ted nugent). This was obviously overflow from my basement clean out. Sigh. All sorts of stuff. Filled a garbage bag. I’ve got one more pile. Then I have to find places for the stuff. I found my list of plants to buy for my front landscape. :w00t:

    It was. Just a bad wiring connection that didn't show itself in the shop but did once it bounced around in the back of a truck. Got it fixed and emailed the customer.

    Tiki juice was 6.25 pounds, shipping was 4.85 pounds. So I paid Paypal and it was 11.10GBP.

    So did the mail ban from UK get lifted? I thought they could only ship via DHL to the states right now?

    Matchbox Twenty. That's a band I haven't thought of in years.
