    What is some of your Pet Peeve's

    Our CEO of the old coop would have plant wide meetings 1-3 times a year. A fellow worked said "have you noticed he says ahhhh a lot in his pauses"? Every meeting thereafter that's all I could hear. Educated guy too.

    Another mouse rant...

    My tractor has been sitting outside for a couple years due to too much stuff in the barn. I always keep the hood open when parked.

    Trailer deck treatment

    Cheap/free latex paint someone was throwing out yet it wasn't old enough to get separated and funky. I say cheap as walmart can have a gallon of mismatched paint the customer didn't want so it's sold cheap. It may be some color you don't like but makes your trailer stand out if stolen.

    Florescent Lighting Bans?

    We had T-12 mostly and metal halide on the boiler side of the plant. We still had to deal with PCB ballast disposal in the old stuff. 10-15 years ago they contracted to have most of the plant side unit fixtures replaced. Some of our LED flying saucer looking high bay lights could not handle the...
