Man that looks good.

I have this picture in my mind of you tossing eggs with a spatula and flipping shrimp for people to catch in their mouths.

Greg's Hibachi! 

Not quite.

Just slammin Modelos and trying hard to make sure and not mix up my chicken and shrimp spatulas.

I caught myself once using the shrimp spatula to mix the eggs and veggies. Nobody saw me do it, and the wife lived, so it's all good.

First attempt at shwimp fwied wice on the Blackstone.

Well, some chicken, some shwimp. The wife is allergic to shellfish.

It was outstanding.

Our local Chinese eatery is closing soon so this was important to master. Now I need to figure out beef lo mein.

What the joke I heard? Something like, "Everyone in Ann Arbor, set your clocks back one second".

Well, when companies make bad hiring decisions in product development or poor promotion choices that's kinda what almost always happens.

Mastercam V6 (not X6) had a C-Hook called SyncLathe (IIRC)... the frame work was there for improvement for multi-tasking environments. The problem; certain individuals didn't understand it and didn't create it therefore it should be abandoned.

People in positions of power and fake influence spend far too much time and capital (both monetary and leadership) putting their fingerprints on stuff because their fragile egos can't handle other people's good ideas. It's sad and pathetic really.

Reminds me of my oldest Customer.... They employed a new shop foreman - a total imposter but he had the confidence of a lion. Would stand there in the pissing rain and state it was sunny and would not back down.
The directors (all non tech) loved him because he'd "written 100 programs in 3months and cut cycle times by 25%)....
But the owner, part time as he'd stepped right back, collared me for a chat asking me my thoughts as " something about him wasn't right".
It took a morning with file compare to show that all "his programs" were just new numbers with his name at the top, and the changes were feeds only... And what he'd done was slow them right down.
So he could get his overtime....
Which was then my other obvious Q to the owner - if throughput is way up because cycle times were 25% reduced, why has overtime for the last 9 months been so high including all day Saturdsys?
And why has sales (output) been virtually identical as the previous 2 years....
He was gone within the week, and one of the directors got really chompy with me "he was a great bloke - he always said good morning to me and we had a chat every morning"....

2nd game of the season in the books. Fresno State. 

Shut them out. 

USC's 3rd and 4th string defense gave up a lot of yards but ultimately preserved the shut-out.

 Impressive feat for USC judging the last 15-ish years of nothing but abysmally POROUS defenses.

We have a new DC. 🤞 Hoping to at least be competitive. The remaining schedule is going to be exponentially more difficult.

It also is uncomfortable at LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Auburn, etc.

Hell, I am counting down the minutes until I get leave and go dove hunting in 90° and 80% humidity in northern fucking Indiana.

I don't know how many doves I'll shoot, but I will put down a limit of beers.

I hear ya!  I'm going dove sweating here in a few hours.
Lots of 11:00 games, let's see how shitty Alabama is going to start out this year

Since they are developing tool paths similar to ModuleWorks (new EverPath technology)...I assume they want to have their own product instead of licensing from ModuleWorks (current verify).
