I went to Kankakee IL yesterday on another company trip to look at some equipment. The last trip (to Phoenix, see 8-6-01) resulted in nothing so we'll have to wait and see if this thing is going to pan out. This time, it's inspection equipment. I took one of the techs with me, the one who'd be using the new machine all the time, and he really liked it and thought it would be a big help. So, I'd call it a long shot to get it, but at least there is a chance. We ate at Texas Road House for lunch and spent $40 of the comapny's money so the day wouldn't be a total loss anyway. And I drove my own car there and back so I can also claim 36 cents per mile.
