Hammer365: 031/335 She's Got Plans

Img_0063

Dear Old Dishwasher,

Last week, while I was boarding a plane, you decided to act a fool and stop working. You should have known, The RedHead does not accept a nonworking appliance around here as you saw what happened to the toaster. In the back of her mind, she probably already had your replacement picked out as she immediately went and purchased a shinier, quieter, and more efficient model with a much larger capacity. 

I really liked you and thought you was on my team.  I always made sure your Jet Dry dispenser was topped off, I always used the little Cascade pods like you like and not that nasty dry powder stuff, I only ran you at night knowing your nocturnal desires, I even pre-washed all of the dishes for you so that you didn't have to work so hard.  I really, really liked you. I don't know what I did to deserve what you are putting me through, but since you apparently did not appreciate me, I guess it's only fair to let you know that the new guy can spotlessly clean unrinsed plates from three days before with no problem.  He even does it in a way so that I don't even know he's in the room.

Because I like it around here, this afternoon I found myself replacing cabinet pulls, electrical outlets and plates, and door knobs in the kitchen to match the new stud of the kitchen.  Now I sit here with graph paper drawing out the kitchen so that she can figure and budget the replacement of the countertops and backsplash to match him as well. Thanks, so much for this opportunity [sarcasm].

One thing is for sure, I'll do whatever necessary not to be replaced by The RedHead.

Here's a shot of the man himself, Sherron Collins on my buddy's new flat screen in his new house.  I couldn't imagine a better housewarming gift than the delivery of victory over Kansas State by Sherron. I'm looking forward to seeing the national rankings post on Monday.

Hammer365: 029/337 Jig-a-Loo for You

I was out in the warehouse this afternoon just looking around and something called me to our supply closet.  There was a Jig-a-Loo in there that just needed to get out.

Love, love, love some good steamed broccoli.

And now, the only thing The RedHead can think about it remodeling the kitchen.

It's nice to be back home. This was shot of the lights hanging in the Sawgrass Resort that I shot last night and edited this afternoon.

Hammer365: 026/340 Mardi Gras Beads

Img_0049

I had a big presentation to in front of our network of Renewal by Andersen owners, Sales Managers, General Managers and corporate officers. Since our home office is just outside of Minneapolis, many are Vikings fans. This set of beads just happened to fall out of the patio door kit that I was presenting. The prank was well recieved although I did take some flack from our company President.

These beads are actually hand made and were a gift to me from my sister. They were from a collection from her late mother-in-law who thought Mardi Gras was the best holiday of the year.

Hammer365: 025/341 Spanish Moss Pool

It's almost painful to be at a place this beautiful and not be able to partake. Given the opportunity, I would move to Florida in a heartbeat.

Location: Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa, Ponte Verda Beach, FL.

Hammer365: 024/342 Red Wing Tip

Img_0045

I finally got to see some clear blue sky today. Had to go up 27,000 feet and leave my family behind to do it but here it is.

I'm heading to Jacksonville for the annual Renewal by Andersen Affiliate Summit. Looking forward to the meeting as well as visiting with managers and owners from across the network. It is truly a unique opportunity, being able the share ideas like we do.

Hammer365: 023/343 Mole Hole Toll

(download)

The snow has all melted away only to reveal the toll my lawn has taken from those dang moles.  I had problems with these guys last summer and didn't expect to have to deal with them until later this Spring but as you can see, they are reeking havoc on my lawn.

Is there an easy way to get rid of these rodents? I've got to do something soon.

Hammer365: 022/344 Street Light Burst

Img_0034

In my nearly 20 years as a Manager, tonight was the first time I've had the honor of hosting a retirement party.  

Charlie, you have taught me a lot about people, myself and tomatoes. You will be missed. You are leaving a legacy. On behalf of Renewal by AndersenAndersen Corporation, and over 1,200 satisfied clients, thank you for your years of dedication to our home owners and loyalty to the company. You are a light to many.
