I just got back Friday night from a business trip to New Jersey to visit a company Zimmer just bought. I was supposed to be helping to define their process and critical parameters better but it looks like they have done a lot of work on just that in the last year or so, and there wasn't much to do there. We all were also supposed to be looking for "synergies" which I take to mean places we can cut costs. However they've been operating pretty lean for a long time now and it doesn't look like there is a lot there either. All in all there wasn't really anything that couldn't have been done via video conference.
Beth and I participated in a garage sale yesterday. We made about $160 in all. Sold a lot of baby clothes and some general junk, I sold my table saw, router table, and behemoth desk and got $60 to put toward the new chop saw I want. I'll need it to finish the room downstairs, in which I have nearly all the drywall put up now. I'm thinking I'll install a drop ceiling instead of trying to drywall it. Last Tuesday was my first softball game (missed the first two), we played a doubleheader and lost both. I was 2-2 in the first game and 1-3 (should have been 2-3, but ump made a bad call at first) in the second. All were grounders. Alex is getting closer and closer to walking now; he's been putting several steps together more and more. Then he realizes he could get somewhere a lot faster by crawling so he drops. Today I've started working on getting the camper ready for Memorial Day, in just a few weeks...The fact that we don't have anything that can pull the thing is darned inconvenient. As I type this, I have full gray water tanks and no way to get them to a dump station. But, with gas at $2.08 this week and likely higher soon, I don't see us getting a truck anytime soon.
