Just getting so sick of working 10-12 hours a day and not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel, I got to hire a contract Quality Engineer to help my dept out of our issues but it is too little too late as we have an audit in 2 weeks that is going to be tough and I’m not ready for it.

I waited by the mailbox for 2 days in a row and no check from Tony so I had to put the spare from the Chevelle on the Camaro to get it out so I could get to the lawnmower today and it started right up and drove great. Did not want to put the spare from the Camaro on it since it’s still the original from 1972.

Next weekend the Chevelle will get brought out of hibernation and maybe start fixing the steering gear bolt.

My new toy, it’s the Gray on on the end.

Huh, I don't know what happened to the check Ric. It was cashed at a place called "Best Strip Club on Eight Mile" on Saturday. Are you SURE that you didn't get it?

What kind of "issues" is your Dept. Having?

Nice toy. Are you gonna hop it up?

Sounds like they mislead you a little when you started there.

Ya, my mower started right up and drove great too.

That looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Never heared Best Srip club on Eight Mile and there are a lot of them. The issue we are having are just normal quality issues where we have grown so fast and not been able to keep up and all the requirements that our customers are requiring us to do. I have already lifted it 2” and put 35 on it and beefed up the axle after I broke it with only 3k on it. We have about 10 guys with Jeeps as you can see in the pictures and we do drive them, a couple guys have over. 80k into them.

Yeah Hank, they did mis lead me but the perks are good as I get to do some pretty cool stuff.
