How are our Atlanta friends faring this morning? Charleston OK so far. Some bridge closings. Most of us are here. Getting home? Who knows?
-
Atlanta is shut down for the most part. Sideways sleet in Woodstock. Wind + ice equals working from home. Tony, need any supplies? ;) ;)
-
Figured as much. Sorry Sonny we're good. I try to keep our vendors down to two. Plus Brannon for screen stretching........they do an awesome job, especially after switching to laquer adhesive.

Hey bud. It's getting fugley out here. Our factory is closed for the next couple of days. We're scheduled to make up time over the
weekend. Is Charleston expecting any of this?

Yes but shld be OK. Mt P is connected to Chas by two series of bridges. Its essentially an island. One is shut down. If the other one goes we're stranded.

Ive been in need of a vacation for many months. Ive got my girl, my dogs, my guitars and some beer. This is actually what I was looking for as time off. I just hope the lights stay on.
St Thomas would be nice though.
-
And were getting a foot of snow tomorrow but business as usual lol. No seriously hope everyone makes out ok down south.
-
Eric if you ever make it to St. Thomas stop by and see my printer friend Billy D. Then you can write it off!
But seriously after that get on the ferry to st John.
-
We have been shut down for the last 2 days, don't know what tomorrow brings. Its icy here in NW GA.

I haven't heard from him since you left there. Tony - care to name a printers challenge which needs attention? Ive got a few hours before my wife lets me pop the top on snowjam beer 1.

Nothing comes to mind but didn't we talk about a wing pallet that would fit on both Hopkins and M&R a while?
-
Is that a single wing? that does sound familiar. Theres been a decline in that but I expect it back soon.
-
A single wing retractable would be appealing to me and maybe some others. The ability to take it from a manual to auto would add appeal as well. We would need at least two sizes. BTW do you sell dryer repair patch kits?

Retractable is a tough one but possible. regarding the dryer belt patch kit I do have some belt material and can get McMaster Carr send you some Teflon coated Kevlar thread.
-
Actually I just checked it looks like the AOL supreme would work for what I have in mind. And you offer it in different sizes. Smart. I'm good on the belt, just need to order that thread thx
-
We are closed although being in town isn't as bad. It was more precautionary.
Nothing like I'm hearing from my friends in VA! 17-20" of snow expected.
-
good luck to you guys down south, it must seem so bizarre. Like Mike, we're looking at a foot tomorrow, but that's not enough to keep me off the roads, we grew up with this. But I do feel for you guys, good luck and stay safe.

The issue here is ice. Right now and throughout the day, it's not snowing, it's icing. And no matter where you're from, you can't do a damn thing with ice.
-
I'm glad one of our big suppliers, based in ATL, was proactive and has us place orders with this storm in mind. Lesson learned .
-
Its more like this in ATL. Ok Eric heres something we can automate.
-
Please continue Tony. Tell more.

Tony we are shut down due to the crazy ice. When we get back we will get your screens out for you. Hope all is well.
-
Here in Augusta, we were said to be some of the hardest hit. I closed the shop, which sucks because I had orders due....but it doesn't matter really because EVERYTHING is shut down and events and such aren't happening.
So, been at home watching all the skinny pine trees break apart and fall. Close to an inch of pure ice on some places here, and what little melt we had is gonna freeze back over. Power has been interrupted no less than a dozen times with all the fallen branches contacting the lines and shorting out the circuit. It happened in sight of my front porch three separate times. Its loud, bright, and scary!!

Ok that was a bit of a tease, sorry Eric. We have a few "no two alike" processes in development, several which have reached production phase early last year. Popular but niche market. Lot of possibilities. Simulating tye dye, batik etc. This being the most simple example. Mostly developed for my boutique line but it has caught on in other markets. Its a semi-automatic process that we are continuing to produce more efficiently. Something you just have to go out there and do, analyze, and come back with improvements. If I have any thoughts on where Action might help I'll contact you Eric however this may be one of those things that would have too narrow a market for you.
Who knows?
-
I understand and thank you for thinking of us. in my office I have a large white marker board with a list of ideas to explore. how's the weather looking there today? We're still expected to be inside our houses for most of the day.
yesterday was enjoyable and relaxing but I'm starting to get cabin fever.

Back 2 normal. Heading to USVI in March yay
