Monday, Dec. 09, 2002 - 5:15 p.m. How so, you ask? Somehow, we have misplaced the keyboard that is used to program our salt spreaders in the newer trucks. I can�t remember ever seeing it, except in the fall whenever Whitey or somebody was using it to reprogram the memories on the Dickey Johns. No, that�s not another name for someone who is shopping for a hooker. It�s the actual brand name of the salt control system. Click here, if you don�t believe me. Anyway�.. Rabbit had spent Thursday and Friday over in London, helping train all of the new employees about snow fighting, and he had picked up some new ideas about setting the Dickey Johns (stop snickering!) in manual mode. The new settings would save us money by cutting down on wasted salt spreading, and were just a few keystrokes away. If we only could find the keyboard. I thought Beavis had it locked up in his office. He tends to lock up any item he feels is expensive, or likely to grow legs and walk out the door. He said he has never stored it in his office. Next, we asked Pumpkinhead (the old shop monkey) if he remembered where it was. He said he had left it in his 2-drawer file cabinet when he stopped shop monkey-ing last October. The file cabinet in question has been in the main office ever since. The keyboard wasn�t inside of it when we checked. So now, it seems they think I have misplaced it. Like I said, I don�t remember even seeing it before. Nobody said to me �Here, Roadiepig- store this keyboard for us, would you?� I looked everywhere I could think of in the toolroom today, and I couldn�t find it. I don�t know what to tell them, other than look somewhere else. Do I think somebody ripped this keyboard off? No. It is designed just for use on the Dickey john system. It isn�t a standard keyboard, and couldn�t be altered to work with a computer. I think it�s more likely that either someone put it somewhere and has just forgotten that they did, or that someone has either hid it or (gasp!) thrown it away, just to mess with the people who need to use it. I just hope it shows up tomorrow�.. Shorter entry today. You can stop you applause now. I am about to leave to take Lease�s sister Jules out to dinner. It�s her $%th birthday, and she didn�t want us to make a big deal of it. We have met as a group for every other sister on Lease�s side of the family this year, and we told her that she needed to let us do it for her, too. When I get home, it will be just in time to watch the Bears make asses of themselves on Monday Night Football again. This will be the third time they have appeared on Monday night this season, and the third time the get their asses kicked. The last game of the year is a Sunday night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will happen on December 29th, with a 7:30 kickoff at Champaign, Illinois. And the management of the Bears can�t figure out WHY nobody wants to by tickets to that game? How about watching a 3-12 team loose badly (seen that a bunch of times already this season), on national TV (stay at home and avoid the angry, cold, drunk crowd), with a temperature at kick-off of around 15� (perfect for frostbitten fingers and toes!)? That might be a few of the reasons��
