Right in one guess!

What a lousy way to end a Thursday/start a Friday. Hopefully, things are looking up now.

 

Luckily enough, I had a backup cookie since the wife isn’t allowed crusty foods still. Oddly enough, that slip had an advertisement on one side. 
 

Now on to a @kristof65 style issue. Got an email from a designer who isn’t on the program any more. Procurement tried finding the first designer who is no longer with the company to get an answer for a part we have a vendor making. Why they didn’t go to the “responsible engineer” signature  person (me) to start with is puzzling. 
 

Anyway, vendor says that our drawing note says to heat treat the part to a certain condition per a metal specification, but wanted to know what heat treat specification to use. This shows that they didn’t read the specification which is a whopping 9 pages. There is a section named “Heat Treatment” and spells out exactly what they need. 
 

Definitely a brown m&m moment, as if they missed that then they likely missed something else. But I cannot tell the procurement people that, as they didn’t think to contact the person responsible for the part in the first place and so I have doubts that they have they tact to not forward that to the vendor.

Oh boy!

 

Oldest Vixen bid on an appartment, she just heard she can buy it!

 

First one will leave the Lair soon...

 

Mixed feelings..

 

My daughter is at that age (24), that she could technically move out & start a life outside of the family home. I for one would have those same feelings, but I'd be more happy that she would finally take that step.

 

Currently at the eye center for wife's apt, for her cataract surgery.  I'm not sure of they'll do anything this day besides the initial stuff (or a couple apt afterwards). Hopefully they do, as her eyes are really bothering her anymore.

Well my wife finally got first apt scheduled. It'll be next week some time. The eye doc, said she definitely has cataracts (duh! We knew this going into this apt :rock:) but the ones that she has are a common form of them at her age. So hopefully nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to surgery time. It does require her to get it done over in Boise, so that'll be fun.

 

Also, daughter started her new job today. Since there was glitch in the computer system that took like 3 or 4 ITs to solve, it's been a bit since she first applied & actually working.  Good for her, glad she decided to tell Wallyworld to shove it where the sun doesn't shine.a

New mystery:

 

It's GLOBAL garbage man day.

I wonder who makes that determination?

I'm still trying to figure out how that World Juggling thing works and how big the guy has to be who can accomplish that feat.

My brain keeps envisioning somebody who makes all the Marvel Superheroes combined look puny.

I dunno, just put Taylor (of Taylor Tries on YouTube, but she is a world known juggler) at the border of one or two countries, and boom.  Multi-country juggling, aka worldwide juggling! 

 

Or do partner juggling at said border, that's an option too.

Had the internet go out from noon until 5pm. Thought that there would be a quick fix, but it took much longer than they thought. So now, I need to work some hours over the weekend to get caught back up. Going to be a bit difficult when I don't actually have much to do.
