Uncle Mike, I was over at my dads property in Garrison today, Dropped a couple dead standing ash and hauled the bed of my company truck, plus the dump trailer and Richie Onorati truck full of wood. Got back to my place and split split split. Richie is now a believer in FISKARS!!!! We're probably headed back next Saturday if you want to play along. Im soooo busy Managing the Service department that it totally slipped my mind to invite you today until I was telling pops everything we did today and he asked why I didn't invite you to play. So next Saturday is 80% right now. My wife is good with it, Richie is good with it, just trying to get Kent onboard too. Ohh and speaking of Kent, HE LOVES that 041 you gave him, he and I have been doing a bit at his place. Speaking of his place, he wants a bunch of trees dropped over there, and the old widow across the street has 10 acres of woods that she gave us permission to manage, clean the dead standing, and there are some big trees were going to need big saws to process.
All my other firewood fellas, work has been SUPER hectic lately, Got a giant promotion with a Giant raise. Went from turning wrenches to managing the whole department, have @40 people under me and its been some learning curve. Lucky for me the GM of the place treats me like a nephew and the owner too. They believe in me and love my positive attitude and quick thinking/problem solving. Can't wait to turn the ship around so I can relax a little, right now Im cutting the dead weight and adding strong personnel to build a winning team. Enough months in the red had them take a chance on me and two months in Im already made good changes to diminish there losses and still trying to make profit. Lucky for me, they are patient and allowing me the ability to make changes and standing behind me. Giving me the freedom to spend the money to get talent and never second guessing me. How have all you guys been??? I miss you boys, just too busy to be on here as much as I used too.
