Gracie decided to give us a presentation regarding current world shipping issues. She thinks she is so smart. But she is wrong about port congestion. If we allow anyone to drive commercial trucks there will be no backup of containers moving inland. Gracie, a tip for public speaking, Never turn your back to the audience. We had "Demo Days" at work again this past week. I was busy on most of the days, but I went up to the demo site after the event was over on Friday and took a look at machines we have on site.

The Relay for Life went pretty much as planned. However, I got a sore throat and a nasty cough over the last few days. I wasn't going to sleep out in fear it might get me more sick. My friend DJ did the keynote speech for the event. She did a great job. There wasn't many dry eyes. I have been incredibly busy the last couple of weeks. I have been combining a lot of things and planning my evenings for the whole week pretty much minute by minute. I was a bit annoyed that my trip between the home center (after my flying lesson) to the chainsaw place (closes at 8PM) that I got into a traffic jam. When I drove buy I took this pic of the reason I was in a traffic jam. I decided that I can be annoyed a little bit compared to these folks.
I am participating in the Chenango County Relay for Life event this coming Friday night. It is a fund rasier for Cancer research facilitated by the American Cancer Society (ACS). I will be up most of the night Friday Night up in Norwich taking turns walking around a track growing awareness and raising money with my Team.
