The Valve Store

A sales guy from our Charlotte office called our Human Resources today with a request for an outside photo of the plant. He needed one for an article in the local paper and had seen one when he was visiting last week, but forgot to ask for a copy then. He was directed to me because I had taken some for HR a couple years back and figured I’d still have them. I know I had seen them somewhat recently, but couldn’t find them anywhere on my PC or on the company network, so I walked outside, got the camera from the car and took a stroll on the front lawn.

Still Got Nothing

Didn’t have much to say last night, so I didn’t say it. Tonight? Pretty much the same.

Me & the Tin Man

There is a building along the northwestern section of Our Fair City’s bypass that started life as a hardware store. That lasted maybe a couple of years and then an auto parts store moved in. It lasted maybe a year. It sat empty for a while before becoming an auto paint store which I bet didn’t last 6 months. It has sat empty for a half dozen years since, probably because no one else wanted to take a chance of their new business only lasting 3 months…

I don’t don’t know when this tin man showed up, but it seems like it might have been there since the very beginning. It looks like the perfect place for a geocache, so this morning Donna and hopped on the tandem to ride over and check it out, plus grab some breakfast at the somewhat nearby Dunkin’ Donuts. We ended up riding for a total of 15 miles.

After the bike ride we hopped in the Emperor and picked up a couple items at Lowes, a few things at Walmart and did our weekly grocery shopping at Krogers. Tonight we made a return driving trip to Lowes for something completely different and had dinner out at Chik-fil-A. With all that driving I think we might have equaled the mileage covered via bicycle in the morning.
