Hello to all of our Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!    Besides my tool,  I count  Posting on the LW board as my #1 reason for being successful on this exciting journey!!!!     

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with good choices during the Honeymoon Period.

We finally got our work  computers back up and running.  Somehow my accounting software has disappeared so they will have to work on that tomorrow.  What did we do before computers?????  I guess it's like any habit....once you experience it then it's hard to quit.

Our older programs used to run from cards, to drop them would have shut us down. Mostly supply requisitions and personnel actions came in on cards, or rather paper documents set up like a 80 card column card, and we had 3 key punchers who would punch and then verify each other's work. They converted the documents to punched cards. Good old days! 

Been really busy all day but it has been productive.  Tomorrow, no meetings and I am driving early before the heat sets in.
