The Graf's truck left here today with 5 tons of bullets
The order is filled, including the two supplemental orders they stacked on after the original. We actually had everything palleted up and ready on Tuesday and notified them then, so that would be 15 days from start of production to completion of their 340,000 bullet order of 43 different bullets. And we managed to not slip on our normally quick shipping response to our regular customers. I don't mean to brag guys, but that's a lot of darn bullets to get out in a fairly short period of time, at least it is for a country boy like me!
In all honesty, it was Jo Ann who kept us all steady and who kept the regular customers happy with her cheerful phone manner and her quick and efficient shipping. So thank you, Jo Ann, and I'm happier than ever that I married you
But it was tough. Over that timespan, we experienced 102 degree heat, random employee outages (causing employer outrages), a new hire, equipment failures, and the frenzied installation of a 4-ton York air conditioning unit that has brought the temperature near the casters down from 125 degrees to a very very nice 70.
On top of it all, last Tuesday morning, Jo Ann headed out of the shop to take a customer call on her headset away from the noise and tripped over the edge of a pallet, causing a cascading 9-foot leaping fall across the dock and she landed with her forehead striking the corner of a lead ingot. Very bloody. Concussion. Trip to hospital, CAT scan, unable to think straight for a while. But no bad report from the MRI results. The contusion was a centimeter (.4") deep and could have lacerated her skull but fortunately, didn't. Close call, that one. So thank the Lord it wasn't any worse than it was and she was able to get back to shipping in a couple of days
Man, we're tired! Time to go for a nice ride on the Softtail, I think.
