Glad to hear she's doing well Charles.
Going well here.

 

[Terre]

Good morning.

Good Morning.

Good morning.
Get to see how close the new freezers are to operational today. Don't know when the reset will be as the warehouse team has other jobs too.

 

[Charles West]

They are doing a reset/rebuild to the local Kroger. They remain open during this process. Giving out hardhats to the kids.

 

[Terre]

The freezers in the frozen section are ready for the warehouse to come in and do a reset. They have started on the ones for the meat market.
Nothing here that would require a hardhat.

 

[Terre]

Good evening.
We had a lot of customers doing last minute shopping when I left work early this afternoon.

 

[Terre]

Happy Independence Day!
I will be surprised if I get to sleep at my normal time tonight. Bound to be several people in the area setting off fireworks. We're far enough away from the stadium where the city show will be that all we'll hear of that is the booms of the airbursts.

Not a real hardhat... just a pardon our construction and a thin plastic hard hat the kids can play with.

 

[Terre]

Yup. We just have some signs. Hats for the kids would be cute though.

 

[Charles West]

yea it was and of course for some of us older kids ... The employees got a kick when I put one on to walk through the store shopping.

 

[Terre]

That would be amusing.

 

[Charles West]

Today I saw Uncle Sam... walking stick and a flag hat

 

[Terre]

Much better than what kept happening to the back yard of a neighbor of a so-worker last night. He says they were using firecrackers and kept setting their yard alight. Since the FD didn't need to be called they must have had a hose running.

Since Deb and I elected to stay in from the heat and the neighborhood kids all wanted to go down to the river, I became the watch for all. About 4 houses down were some adults setting off fireworks for the kids and I could see a few blocks over some roman candles going off... they were the 'safe' kind that blew up while in the air. The only one that scared us was the end of some that had a scattering sound ... My wife kept thinking it was hitting the trees but was the sound the bee effect made was in the air. Still disturbing to hear every 15 minutes.

 

[Terre]

I can see how that would be disturbing. At least everything went OK.

 

[Terre]

Good evening.

 

[Charles West]

Listening t0 the remnants of fireworks firing from time to time today. Saw an ad that reminded me of a friend who chuckle when I used a sound effect rather than a word. Deb immediately thought the same thing.... and the ad I found on utube and sent the link to an old friend. We connected by email a few exchanges and he reminded me that growing up it was common to find an ice tray full of pickle juice frozen as a treat. Deb, myself and our friend grew up poor by today's standards and our parents saved any way they could, all large families. All in all a nice day and the ad ....

I hope you all enjoy.
