Awake: 4:42am Temp 45 sleep 5+10 overcast overnight @ Newell
campsite.
Yesterday, schedule coordinator Mike asked me for my glitch list. Early
this morning I bring it in & then he cautioned me on the possibility of us
not being invited into the service bay for work at all this week, due to
many of the techs attending the mandatory class on: “lean management.” I
let him know that we are flexible.
Later, I call Sara in Phoenix @ Bax Global: our plasma TV is ready for
pickup @ Newell.
Late morning, Garmin calls to verify our address & mentioned the GPS will
be sent out tomorrow.
Kathy spends hrs on the computer @ the customers lounge. She likes that
high speed internet.
I take a walk through the assembly & production areas of Newell. It looks
different; cleaner with wider aisles. Maybe the lean management program is
showing.
Back in our bus, I did something I rarely do: while reading some AARP
bulletins, I napped. That’ll teach me to read those boring senior citizen
kinds of publications.
Mid afternoon, Kathy makes a run to the local grocery stores: Martins &
Wal-Mart.
6:35 dinner: Tuna steak with brown & wild rice, spaghetti squash in a
cheese sauce & mixed salad.
Melissa calls early evening: the deal with the Montessori lady in Dallas
may be off. The lady is very reluctant to divide up her vast collection of
learning tools + Melissa is concerned about the lady’s high prices.
Melissa will keep us posted. Meanwhile, Kevin has found a web site that
allows a return of purchase if not satisfied on these similar Montessori
learning sets.
Kathy watches “Dancing With the Stars” TV show while I do the dishes & pay
a bill on line.
Late satellite movie: “Fun with Dick & Jane” with Jane Fonda, George
Segal, Ed McMahon, etc. How does one maintain one’s lifestyle after a
sacking from a highly paid aero-space position? Segal & Fonda have a
unique solution: they steal. 1977 It kind of falls apart after a
promising start, becoming fragmented & pointless; but we watched it all
anyway. If you watch closely, you might spot a bit scene with Jay Leno.
