They usually did the early development and R&D and early production and got the production line up and working in OKC. Then they would take it all apart and ship it to some other plant. Then the local plant would start over with more platters and more capacity.

Some of the first ever drives of the physical size drives are today were engineered here. They had several plants all over the city. It is all gone to China now.

I was standing in line next to Russel Westbrook. I would have never know that fact except the clerk pointed it out after Russel walked out to his black Lamborghini.

Russel was dressed in normal street clothes and he is not crazy tall. The Lambo was one of the new models but I don't know enough about Lambos to tell you which one.

Had to take Pepper to the Vet today.

She kept licking and chewing her mouth like something was stuck in her teeth and I couldn't find anything. Turned out to be a piece of stick stuck to the roof of her mouth. It was well camouflaged even the vet had trouble finding it. It must have kept her awake last night cause she has been sleeping all day since getting rid of it.

From what I've read, Westbrook and KD are both pretty decent guys. Nice change from the usual douches in the NBA...

He drove right past my house going south. I doubt he lives in my neighborhood. .
There are some houses that even he can't afford a little south of me.

Microsoft SUCKS!!! <- No Green Font Either!!!

Since moving to Microsofts Exchange Online for our mail and anti spam service we've had more virus's, scams, and down time than we have had in the past 20 years! It has cost way more than whatever the online fees saved versus running our own on-site Exchange server.

Good for you! I gave been skipping my workouts for a couple months and feel like crap...all I ever want to do is watch TV and eat. Time to follow your example.

I walked (fast) to a meeting a few miles from the office yesterday. Felt pretty good at the time, but was whipped after walking back.

Good Hump day morning.

Richard, zip on down to Britton Rd and head east over to Sooner and look to the southeast. You will see a huge mansion on an entire 1/4 section of land. 160 acres and the fence is one mile long to surround the property.

That house makes every country club I have ever seen look like a shack.

I drive right past the Thunder's practice gym on my daily commute. I have seen many really nice cars going up into there.

I just had a customer swing by to pick up an order. I had been emailing and talking to her a lot in the last 10 days. She is intelligent and competent in my dealing with her. I guess everyone gets a mental image of someone just talking to strangers on the phone.

The only pictures are of the river area from the 70s to the 90s. And no she was not much of a looker. She made me look slim and fit.
