3:30am came quickly this morning. I had promised Louis that I would pick him up before 5am so we could meet Kalvin by 5am at the office. We were off to Flint Michigan. That was only 25 miles from where we used to live in Brighton Michigan. I was the first regional manager of the newly created Great Lakes region for the Research Institute of America. One of my first hires was a man named Mike Dawson. That was in 1978 and he worked for us until I left in 1985. He knew that when I left it was time to go. He then went to work for Ameri-Tec and did a great job for them until they were purchased by on of the baby Bells. We had not seen each other for 25 years. The nice thing about our meeting was that we both looked the same. Nothing had changed in 25 years. We are just as hansom now as we were then.
The purpose of our trip to Flint was to look over our project for Aunt Millies. Louis and Kelvin talked with the men doing the excavating and hung all the required signs for ASHA. We then went and got a first aid kit that is required. You would think that would be simple task. That aint the case in Davison Michigan. I said, I saw a Walgreen's when we came in, so lets get it there. As luck would have it we saw a Rite-Aid first so we went there. No luck, they told us to go to the speciality Drug store about a mile down the road. Not today, they sent us to the grocery store down the road that has a pharmacy. Oh they had one alright, it had like three band aids and couple cotton balls. Guess where we went next, Ya to the Walgreen's that I first wanted to go to. I love to try to find simple things in small towns.
The site does look good and out job superintendent is doing a great job of keeping things flowing. Now if the rain will hold up things should start to move. You can see the job site behind Mike and me.
Blood sugar or BS from now on was only 152 this morning. 202 at lunch. I had a light meal of a salad and crab legs and a small piece of cod. Louis had half the meal and I ate the other half. Louis was so tired of waiting for me to crack open the crab that he decided to help. He did such a good job I let him eat what he had chucked. I'll check my BS before dinner but I will not report it until tomorrow. I'm finished for tonight. Cate has her college roommate home for dinner so I must go.
More tomorrow. That's not a song you know.
