I know class when I see it and Mariano Rivera personifies everything about what it means to be a class act. Whether in life, business or sports, striving to be the best is what we should all aspire towards.
Where Have All The Salespeople Gone?
Business is getting better. The fabrication shop has been very busy for the majority of the year. Yes, some of the production can be attributed to our new CNC plasma table, but not all. The business environment seems to be on the steady.

Once again I have neglected the company blog for an extended period of time. Not because of laziness, but more in finding the time to give proper attention to the written word.
