Little Successes
Last
night at Center Church during the Trail Life Meeting we had three new boys sign
up and four existing members show up. James Garcia a former Scout Leader is
filling the Troop Leader role and he had an excellent program. He started off having
the boys recite the oath, then they said the pledge of allegiance and I gave
the invocation and then the practiced the Trail Handshake. Then the practiced
folding the flag. They took it very serious but some of the young boys had a
little change getting them to understand the technique. It was everything I
could do not to laugh out loud. I told one boy “We are folding the flag, not
wadding the flag.” But he eventually figured it out.
Then
James held a class on First Aid. He asked “What do you do when you fall down
and skin up and bruise your knee?” One of the boys said “Suck it up” I said “That
is a future Frogman”. It was awesome how James was able to keep their attention
and focus. This
next week we have just one hour before the Marriage Covenant meeting starts at
7:00 PM so we probably need to move the meeting outside. It will help if
everyone can get their on time.
Then
I scheduled an appointment with a Cold Storage Facility where they don’t
process any meat or poultry but while the store it the containers leak blood
and there was caked on dried blood that blackened the floors and the forklifts
spread it around and compressed it into the floor. I recommended 14 Karat and
we mixed up ten gallons in their scrubber machine and spread it around and let
it sit for five minutes and then the warehouse manager drove the scrubbing
machine around and cleaned it up and we all were amazed at how clean the floors
were. There were some uneven spots in the floor were the caked on blood still
remained but the procurement manager took a stiff broom and was able to scrub
that up because the 14 Karat had loosened it up. Everyone was very please and
they ordered a 55 gallon drum. They clean the facility once a week and their
scrubbing machine has a ten gallon holding tank. Diluting 40:1 they will us one
gallon per month, they will have enough product to last them six and half
years.
This
week the F3 workout will be moved to Tuesday at 5:30 AM at Center Church. The
weather will be partly cloudy and around 70 degrees so dress accordingly and
bring your workout matt. I don’t mean Matt Tagle, I am giving him all of the
credit for being hard core and working out at 5:30 AM. I could say “No” and
show me up. Even at 5:30 AM he is smiling.
