Time moves too fast-

I don't know if you have been in the same boat as us over the last couple weeks.   We have been trying to keep pushing with the new ideas, but all the work is getting in the way.   We have had a large number of testing on new filters, and have also been struggling to keep all the equipment up and running.  I am anxiously awaiting the holiday.    All the new innovation has turned into more of a hobby than a job.  Inventing new stuff is a BLAST!

Lots of Dog Treats

I guess they had a leak in the dust collector.  We are cleaning filters for a pet food company. The filters are full of dog treats.  Not pieces but, whole ones.  I have no idea how a whole dog treat gets inside a dust collector cartridge.
Not just one piece.  Lets put it this way: Roxie, and Dutchess are very happy pets.  Each filter had 25 pounds of product inside. I have enough dog treats to start a packaging line, and sell product.

It is interesting.......Pet food manufacturers have more stringent regulations and requirements than human food manufacturing.    Makes you think.

Life is changing.

As all of the older guys (me included) are retiring and getting out of the way the methods we are using to business are changing.  It used to be that it was all relationship based.  You developed a professional trust with some one, and you became their expert.   More recently with the young graduates moving into the marketplace are changing the landscape.   They want to use a computer.  they want to chat or IM.  The personal touch is leaving the business world.  It is getting tougher to build brand loyalty.  It is intresting to watch this change and to see how companies adapt..  Being old, I still want to know the person I am dealing with.
