Well Good Morning…I am Back. For how long lord only knows, however I am back now and our system is up and...running after minor, well major repairs and much French being cast in all directions. I will not be around for another move of our business that much I surely will concur. So how is every little thing in your neck of the world? Mine as I said was testing my ability to remain calm daily. Had it not been that everyone was looking up to me for guidance and hope I think I may have lost it. Thanks in part to my two youngest daughters being there and helping was big..
I will get into the details of the move and how everything came to a head on Friday night when we were finishing up and putting away the last few skids of material but for now that story will wait until next week…oh I wont forget to tell it, it has adventure and hate and discontent and all those things that make the world go round so I shall not forget to tell it all, I will close this portion of the morning missive by saying the we would have been all moved and stock put in place by 4:00PM Friday afternoon had it not been for a shelve of Square D components that decided to fall onto another shelve of Pass and Seymour receptacles and it almost ruined the day and the move because the square d shelve had in the upwards of 40,000 dollars worth of material that surely could have been destroyed. That story and more coming next week…trust me I need a solemn break from anything remotely coming close to moving, computer reports and the fact AT & T thinks we could operate on a residential modem… Trust me those stories and more next week, but for now how about a little tale of pain and misfortune from somewhere other then southwestern lower Michigan?
Try to Read This Without Wincing: A cable broke on a leg extension machine at a YWCA facility in Akron, Ohio, in 2004, catapulting a steel bar forcefully at a 22-year-old football player working out for a shot at a college scholarship, hitting him squarely between his parted legs, whacking his left testicle. Three years later, he still walks gingerly and bow-legged because the slightest contact is painful (although he did manage to father a child in the interim). In April 2007, a jury awarded him $786,000 after hearing that the machine had been in disrepair. [Akron Beacon Journal, 4-11-07] Ok, I am talking in a higher voice just thinking of that pore man’s dilemma…let alone I can’t even imagine using an exercise devise of any means after reading that. My only question was this. He was at a YWCA which is normally intone with women. Women workouts, women machinery and the place is designed for the use of their equipment to be used by women! Although, I realize and am not male chauvinistic that males like females use that equipment and its not just for them only. But, it would seem a YMCA or a Sports workout gym would have been more to his liking…makes no difference now, as the gavel falls where the gavel falls…and in his case the gavel apparently hit home…
I welcome you to a wonderful Wednesday and what ever you do I surely hope it is less painful then the pore lad from Akron, Ohio…you know I am walking not to near any steel object in my near future…money or not that had to hurt like no tomorrow…OUCH!!!
Have a great day
I missed you all and well the saying goes like this…All good things come to those who wait…except in Akron…ouch!
A huge hug and various pats
