Busy day today.. which was good.. kept my mind occupied. My job today was to drive an hour and a half north to visit my work brothers and sisters in Bromont Quebec. There’s a large IBM facility up there.. about 2800 fo0olks when fully loaded.. I’m embarrassed to say.. this is my first trip up there in almost 30 years of working here.
It was a nice drive up.. I t’s just like driving up to Montreal, but you turn east at Pikes river..
My job today was to give a sort talk to the plants management about something I’m working on.. that was fun… they were a GREAT audience.. into the message and really interested in helping us out. I was SO impressed with everyone I met up there.. They ar ea fun and creative bunch of people/.
THey were also excellent hosts.. they gave me a great tour of the place where most of our chips are diced, packaged and tested.. I’d really never seen the packaging process this close. It was fascinating.. ..
The place was full of machines from Universal out of Endicott NY.. I have several friends that worked there.. (Hi David !) I never saw what they built until today !
(Note to self: Must remember to send Gille RFID stuff !)
I really got the royal treatment up there .. I finally headed home around 3 with a promise to return in Janurary.. . Next time I’m bringing some friends !
I got home around 6.. in time to leave again to go to the gymnastics place.. Once again .. it was fun watching gabe and friends flip and do handstands..I didn’t do any flips today.. to sleepy..
Here’s gabe doing a superman flip (*10) over me as I lay in the foam pit
That was my day.. good and busy..
I did get pretty sad on my ride home…
more tomorrow..
nite all , nite sam// you are so much on my mind, my son
