Hey guys, its great to be back, I have missed spending evenings with my homies. It has been a whirlwind tour since back in September. I have been running a characterization of our North American product line, and it has been keeping me buzzzy 7 days a week. As of Monday I was 43% complete with an ECD of March 15th depending on the weather. With the cooler temps, I will have more time available, but it is gonna be a hard run after the 1st. Heck I've only got one deer in the freezer and momma ain't happy about that but I'll catch up soon.
The trip to Brazil was successful. I went down with a very talented team, still haven't figured out why they put up with me, and the Latin America team helped in every way possible and did an outstanding job of welcoming us and learning and performing our test procedures. There will be good things happening for their group in the future. I enjoyed the food the people the culture and seeing new places, but it does help you realize just how good we have it here. I know we think we have a lot of krap going on here and we do have some issues, but seriously this is still the best place going and its good to be back.
Ansioso para que o futuro reserva para nós gastar algum tempo amarrando gabaritos. Parece que é hora de buscar um swap indo, só me avise quando você quer começar. É ficar perto da temporada de férias...
Peace, Mel
Oh yea, and they had a drink made outta limes and sugar cane alcohol that was amazing...
