Speaking of things looking up, I've gotten my first half million dollar contract since I've gotten into the laundry business. Wooo hooo!

I'm missing the photographic industry a LOT less lately . . . .

I just sell the machines, not the services. It is a lot of towels, sheets, robes, duvet covers, and other stuff related to running a big hotel, though.

Congrats, Dee, WTG!

I'm finishing up our initial 1/2lb. packaged pea, bean and corn run today and then onto 550lbs. worth of 5oz. clover packets for our largest customer. While some stuff has already gone out the door, we start shipping in earnest March 1st. YIPPEE! Fun stuff!

Spring is coming!

It's Hump Day again already. I've got lots of deals a-brewin' and three days into a renewed commitment to get back into and stay in shape. So far so good! I'm determined to stay healthy and strong . . . . or die trying.

I'm prepping for all hell to break loose. On the first warm day of March everyone will be calling looking for their deliveries. I've tried like heck this week to get some customers to take stuff now while we're quiet but have been unsuccessful. They can't say I didn't try! I'll at least have the guys get everything pulled, palletized and wrapped so their ready to roll once the silly season starts.

It's day #3 with my boss out on medical leave going into the busy season. The next couple months should be interesting!

Well, the day started off okay until I discovered that I had a certified letter from the Justice Dept's Antitrust Division. As Mistress would say, my feet were sweating . . . .
