I did, knowing it was 2 years old.

Does everyone realize this thread is 2 years old???

When you own a shop........

I just quit the booze for a few days, drink a few gallons of water a day then get back on the booze. All the voices in my head are happy then!

Exactly! Only in your dreams.

I can’t read but the pictures show your amazing lion!!! Dream for me, congratulations!!

That hunk of sh!t would get stuck before it made it to my driveway.

Gotta be a rented house!

Cool looking rack, congrats to him.

But when specific skilled workers are non existent and a shop needs skilled, AND! The skilled guys are not so skilled and being pre Madonnas and acting like they’re fully trained but they’re not!! I thrive off chaos!! Hopefully I can handle this amount of it!

Sorry if I haven’t “liked or quoted” on all the responses. I’ve looked at them all and am trying to absorb all the info. Today was supposed to be just changing shops and organizing myself. But I found myself organizing others and changing stuff around already! Most were 100% on board (knowing they needed it) and few were not. I'll be observing for the next week or so before I call a meeting and explain what I expect. Luckily I’ve worked with some of these guys before and already have the respect built with them. Thank you all again for the responses. Day -1 was rough! Hopefully day 0 will be better!!

But they make the fun happen!!

Hope this stays clean! Although I know the trains your referring to.

Actually it looks like a skeletonized shoulder mount! Head, neck, front leg, weird antlers, and a handle on the back.

Holy crap! I wasn’t expecting so many solid answers so quickly. Thanks guys, all of this is gold.

Well yeah I can spot it! It’s a huge piece of wood, duh!

Are your trees not going dormant because of the heat this year? My apricots started flowering a week ago! Weird stuff happening! I’m at 4,000+’ elevation and should be totally dormant with all my trees. I use old school Christmas lights wrapped around the trees in early spring to keep frost off. I’ll pry use them thruout winter this year. We had a freeze last week and it didn’t touch the blooming apricots. Again, weird year!

My knees were sore!!! I’m sure I’m trading one for another!

Weird, I actually started reading it Friday! Also I’ve been binging ted talk leadership videos on youtube!

Thank you!

Respect and trust is what I try to build my life on! It sounds like I’m on the right track. Those are the two things I’m talking about in my first meeting.

Please explain?!!! That’s honestly what I’m looking for....

I’m already feeling that!!! And haven’t even started!

I’m right on the cusp of that, hoping to have 10-12 soon!

Lots of bosses here! Thanks for the responses! All things I’ve been thinking about, just curious how to implement. I’m sure I’ll figure it out but I’m not scared to take advice.
