I had a brief position dealing with upper managers between airplane jobs a long time ago. Two steel fabrication plants (made custom stuff, big, as in several tons each), CEO also managed one plant, guy I was an assitant to (ok, gofer/errand boy for) managed the other. My guy subcontracted a lot of work, and when I started, they were over a month behind a big contract because they weren't getting the subcontracted work delivered. Boss told me to take his car, talk to everybody, find out where the holdup was. That was easy, was one guy, the one in charge of subcontracting that really liked girls and didn't follow up on anything. Boss told CEO, CEO came to the plant personally and said to fire me, I was bothering his son. Yep, the incompetent girl chasing *******.
Remembering that got me to wondering, google satellite view, both those plants that covered several acres each are gone. Amazing how many things have disappeared in the last 50 years, most of the houses I've lived in, gone, most of the places I worked, gone. My favorite off road riding places, housed over. I feel old.

My Friday is here and happy hour has been underway for over an hour now. I had a pretty good day, no issues, no one tried to ruin my day and I got on the road a little ahead of the traffic. In the morning there will be golf. Everyone ride safe.

yeah, sitting this one out....too many deer and d-bags to count let alone steer clear of.....watching red sox yankees....
Well here ya go fellas..... the new Street Glide....hard to tell from the pics, but it is a dark metallic gray. Seems to bounce between looking gray and looking brown depending on angle of the light.
Stopped by dealership and picked up some lights to attach to the saddle bag for run/turn/stop. Maybe hook those up today.
Enjoy! I know I have been!!

C'mon Russ.....you know the drill - pics!
I wouldn't mind having that extra room as well. I just need to keep complaining about the one we have and hopefully it will get replaced like yours was.
Nice bike Denny! My neighbor has the identical bike and color showing up next week. He's retired MOCO and gets a new one every year. Pretty sweet deal - he actually gets paid to trade in his bike for a new one. This year he made $900. Granted, he puts maybe 3000-4000 miles on the bike.
In other news - got a "talking to" about my "unprofessional" email to a dipshit who is the production manager for a product we sell. Totally incompetent and an OR can't be used because of it. She tried turning it back on me and I let her have it, but not really all that bad. My boss (great guy) got a call from his boss who gave him a hard time and told him to tell me to apologize. Fine. I did and I'll just simply let the projects fail moving forward. Apparently calling someone out on their poor performance is unprofessional. Talk about tying my hands behind my back.

Bob, the woke bosses and HR people are really screwing over the workhorses at every company. It seems the marginal performers are coddled and groomed instead of supporting the folks who are in the trenches. I wish you luck but expect said project manager to complain about a lack of support later on down the road as her projects fail.
Here’s the new fridge!
We’re supposed to throw away the first 24 hours of ice production anyway…..

Spent some time installing some Custom Dynamic lights on my saddlebags. These are black with smoke lens and mount just under the lid. I'll get some pics and post later. Did not notice these were sequential until I got them home. I would have preferred just the standard lights. But they look good and do what I want. More lights at the rear.
Bob, I sympathize with you. Seems like management is becoming less and less managerial and more and more ignorant. This could be where you just sit back and follow orders. Then wait for their screw ups and watch them blow up. Good luck with your job. Just keep low and do what you're told.

Denny, your bike is nice. What are your thoughts about saddle bag guards not being standard eqpt?
