Good Morning folks.

One reason we just close on Friday is so many of our customers close. If we were in the middle of a big project we might swing by the office to check the computers or start another batch process. Heck we do that on weekends all the time. The phones just don't ring and no one comes in. We put the phones on foreword and our cell phones are synchronized with the work email. We can take care of any questions or quote a job cost from anywhere. I do have a VNC connection to my work computer.

Our pilot is flying a stockpile job today. We have flown that same site since the 1960s. They have gone through several different owners in that period. That make a big pile of "stuff" and the tax man wants their cut 4 times per year. The pile changes size hour by hour as product is loaded and hauled away for sale and new product is added. They stop production for about 5 minutes as we fly over. Our pilot calls them as he is ready for take off and tells them his ETA. They actually have internal auditors on site to see the airplane fly over. Within a couple of work days we can tell them how many cubic feet of material they have on site.
