Traveled up to Minnesota Sunday evening. Usual stuff. The flight was delayed for about 45-minutes due to a scratch on the door that had to be repainted. There was about another 30-minute delay waiting for luggage to come around the carousel. The result is that we arrived the hotel at 11:30 pm, making that 6am wake-up call too soon.
Normally when I have to travel to Minnesota, it is in the winter time, with the lakes frozen, temperatures near or below zero and snow. This week is a lot like Atlanta weather, near 90 and high humidity. One difference here is that they have had rain. Everything is green. Back home, everything is dry and dead. I mowed my grass at home the day before my surgery, May 16. I have yet to remow. It will probably need a trim on Saturday, 30-days from the last cut.
We are checking out and shipping four packaging machines this week. Two for Pepsi in the US, one for Coke in Australia and one for a company that makes hard cider in Ireland. Last night, everyone started to arrive at the hotel. The support folks from Atlanta, the sales folks from the UK, the customers from Ireland and Alabama and our support guy from Australia. It's always fun to get such a diverse group together at the bar the night before. All the accents, dialects, regional slang and cultural oddities make it an interesting night for our waitress.
Feel good and back to normal.
