Hello. About to go and get on my conference call. Yea. Should not be too bad.
Customers are getting antsy about deliveries before the end of the year. Some really stupid ones. They give us an offer for a big project that we state takes 16 weeks. They want in 4 and complain when we tell them we quoted 16 for a reason.

Going to attend a ceremony honoring the fallen at Pearl Harbor. Gets me thinking about the military and what stays with us all of our days. I recall having Nile Kinnick's letter to his parents read to me and my eyes filling with tears. Kinnick won the Heisman Trophy in 1939 at Iowa and died during WWII.
"There is no reason in the world why we shouldn't fight for the preservation of a chance to live freely, no reason why we shouldn't suffer to uphold that which we want to endure. May God give me the courage to do my duty and not falter." Later, he added, "Every man whom I've admired in history has willingly and courageously served in his country's armed forces in times of danger. It is not only a duty but an honor to follow their example the best I know how. May God give me the courage and ability to so conduct myself in every situation that my country, my family, and my friends will be proud of me."

Salute to our armed forces! They and most police are way underpaid in my opinion for what they do.
