I run a sheet metal shop, but this account isn’t only about sheet metal.

I write to learn about work, business, technology, history and whatever else makes me curious. I hope to tell a few stories worth reading and teach something along the way.

@bb_enterplai Good point 😀. More communication and visibility to the consequences of the choice would help.

[Kevin Raymond @kraynotes]

I can start the morning with a reasonable plan for our two-person sheet metal shop.

One phone call or text blows up the whole thing. Sometimes we’re rearranging the rest of the day. Sometimes it’s the rest of the week. https://t.co/dY58sSFoF3

Pat Sajak had a blast taking Cal Ripken Jr. to a hockey game.

@ttmygh This makes me long for TGL...Eww, I feel gross even saying that 🙁. What I really long for is golf without lasers, arrows, undulation marks, etc. But I also want baseball without a strike box and exit velocity. I'm moving backwards, lol

Thank you! It's all experience & judgment. Sometimes the yes is about emergency jobs (like a customer with no heat) or keeping a long-term project going. How much setup or design time can force a choice. I try my best to be clear with customers about the timeframe. Unforeseen issues always complicate things. In my mind, there's plenty of time for it all. But we all know that's not how reality works. It does come down to me managing my time better for my helper and my customers.

I've never been more excited for a Pre-Season hockey game. The Bruins are back!

[Kevin Raymond @kraynotes]

@TheCinesthetic Unbelievable decade. It would be hard to even rank them. Strangely, as much as I adore some of the gigantic hits, That Thing You Do might be my favorite.🤫

@ESPNMcGee And here I am thinking the Canadiens-Maple Leafs pre-season hockey game had the best fight of the night!

@BarstoolBigCat I've seen Weird Phishes live. I went in skeptical, even as a fan of both Phish and especially Radiohead. They are an impressive band and well worth your time. The experiment works!

Bo Jackson. If not for injury…

[Kevin Raymond @kraynotes]

Wait. What’ssss..happening? Does that say 24-24!? 😏

[Kevin Raymond @kraynotes]

The commentators' glazing of Chambliss is enraging. It’s his sixth year—sixth!!!—year of college. It would be embarrassing if he weren’t playing this well.

[Kevin Raymond @kraynotes]

Ballgame. That opening to the 2nd half was awful. I’m going back to Breaking Bad reruns.

An 18-year-old girl, a classical guitar, and one of Paganini’s most famous technical challenges. Haruna Miyagawa performs Caprice No. 24 with remarkable finesse, bringing its intricate variations and arpeggios, originally written for violin, into the world of classical guitar.

[Kevin Raymond @kraynotes]

@Old_But_Gold50s People use words like masterful, graceful, elegant, and amazing to describe inane things in this world. They should watch and listen to this, and maybe they will understand the difference. Perfection.

Oh man. This is top shelf. Let's start the season now.

@BridgetPhetasy This is awesome. I've Spotify'd and deep-dived; currently listening. Roots to Arcade Fire (Will Butler's original songs); not surprised the soundtrack is this good. Gotta see this show.
