It's too cold to ride bikes in November. Just ask Gomer.

The most amazing move I ever saw on a fixie was on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan right in front of the NY Public Library about 20 years ago. A bike messenger was drafting @ 20+ mph off a taxi in the middle of Fifth Ave. The taxi braked hard, this kid locked up his fixie front brake, went perpendicular instantly and swerved around the rear end of the cab without missing a beat. All @ like 25 mph.

Bunny's bike was stolen. That sucks. I had my bike stolen when I was in college too. Never recovered.

I wasn't planning anything. Anyone...anyone? Nope, nobody planning anything that I can tell. I do bake a mean Diner Cake though.

I don't know if they're completely out, but we had 3+ inches of rain yesterday. Most of the damage was done Monday night.
I never thought I'd see hundreds of buildings burned here, or that America would elect a reality TV president.
What a time to be alive.

Worst is when you are in the airport shop looking for a book to read on the plane. Especially for a really long flight. Then after takeoff you realize you have already read the only one you bought. That doesn't happen to me much now in the Kindle Age.

I was thinking the last time I flew that my little B&N Nook (like a Kindle, but for quirky weirdos) has paid for itself 100 times over by reducing the amount of paperbacks and magazines I used to always buy on impulse before a flight, read a few pages of, and then discard.

Spent a couple hours after work yesterday at the soon to be new job talking with the person who does the Accounts Payable / Payroll. I've already found a potential cost savings of $5,000 annually and some serious process deficiencies.
The first issue I saw was they dump all the Purchase Orders into a rolling file after Purchasing creates them. Then the AP person matches them against packing slips and invoices. The issue I see is that the POs should be back in receiving until the order comes in so they have something to match the vendor packing slip against. Otherwise they have no way of catching order entry errors on the vendor side. Packing slip and PO should then go to AP to match against the invoice for payment.
Man, this job is going to be awesome! I'm going to have them running like a top in no time. As it stands now they just closed September yesterday. They haven't even STARTED on October yet.
Oh, they also have a 12 page Chart of Accounts since they have been breaking everything out into a ton of different departments that no one even needs to drill down into the detail of. They then have to take all that data from the 6 page Income Statement and clean it up in Excel for managerial analysis and to give to the bank.
I still have to dig in and see just how much of the ERP is utilized as far as the production side goes. I already found out they don't use the CRM module. If they aren't utilizing much of the ERP I may try to steer them to some more user friendly software. Sage 100 isn't my favorite.
