Hello ARC, WD & Rook.

The interview went well Jim, but I'm always a little suspicious when it comes to Head Hunters.
Their mandate is to 'put bums in seats' in the hopes of getting a payday.

But the job description is certainly within my skill-set, he's forwarding my resume to Yale's head office in Toronto for their review.
So, we'll wait to see what happens.

Here's a brief overview of what Yale is looking for.

Territory Manager​

Yale Industrial Trucks is a privately-owned, highly successful and growing distributor of Industrial trucks that services the manufacturing, distribution, logistics, warehousing, automotive and food and beverages industries. Yale Industrial Trucks offers a full product line of material handling equipment including forklifts, rentals, parts, services, aftermarket equipment and training.

Attractions to this role:

Now on the experience side of things. I see not 1 but 2 requests of "Experience and knowledge of the vertical-Industry vertical"

That's just hard when most have only horizontal training in life.

Thank you

I'm thinking when I told the head-hunter that, "I've had my forklift license for 35 years" that I was over-qualified.
The only stumbling block right now looks to be the territory they're looking to have serviced and that I need to provide my own vehicle.

Hey, I've got to keep trying right.

Good morning!


I'm sorry about not uploading pond/finds pics, but somehow I got swindled into cement work and plumbing.

I managed to find half a knife blade at the one pond that they were working on! It's made of local Carter Cave Chert.

Dave,

Good luck with the results of the job interview. Hopefully you get a mileage allowance for providing your own vehicle if that's the case go the lease route.

 

[bill from lachine]

Rusty,

Good morning and nice save on the blade.

 

[pepperj]

Morning Rusty, nice find!
Liking the partial blade/point-that would make my day for sure. Congrats!

Dave I always like another perspective on things when I hear it from the other side.
That being I view this from the consumer side-You are from the sales side.

"Having worked in equipment sales for 32 years now, I've also believed, that you sell the customer what they need, not what they want, because often what they want isn't actually what they need.
In the end, it's always up to the customer whether they choose to take your advice or not."

Now this just a layman's research model and there's error of zero + - %.

I have now have ran this perspective pass no less that 8 folks and there's a general consensus that concerns me greatly. The replies have came out in two word reply from each person-now being a "family viewed forum" the replies are

I'll give you the second part of the replies "Off & You" Now why would everybody say that.

Great find on the half a knife blade at the one pond Rusty!
I'd love to find a native arrowhead some day.

Dave,

Thanks very much Bill.
I don't want to have to get into a vehicle lease, but it may be my only option to get back into the 'working world' at this time.

I heard from a buddy who lives east of Montreal that the government is shutting down Quebec City, as well as, Montreal for the next two weeks.
My wife has me going out today to do a 'bulk' grocery shopping run fearing the same will happen soon here in Ontario.

Dave,

Yep starting Oct 1 through 28th Montreal bars & restaurants closed(except take out and delivery) metro Montreal and Quebec City among other restrictions.

Even with thanksgiving coming up odds are only my wife will visit her mom and I'll stay at home only one outsider at a time for household visits.

If that's what it takes to flatten the curve so be it.

Where found-water-park-house-field-road-Wally parking lot-underware drawer-

Figuring to find all the rest of the hoard that absolutely, positively, gar-roon-told-ya to be there!? Would the GPS coordinates help ya? Or are ya too quarantined to use them? LOLOL!!

Semi-seriously, it was a permission I've been walking off & on for years! Its a shame I can't find a jeweler's mark on it too. Its clearly stamped 14kt Italy, and passes the 14kt acid test easily. My experience with Italy gold has been very good over the years. If it had a Jeweler's mark though, it might have been easier to date. A couple interesting things; first this thing was down about 7-9 inches and second, it only rang up at about 47 and solid! Wonder how many 47's I've ignored.

That help?

Let's see.....ive been in the communications array of the big yacht for the last week. I've removed and stripped the 2 large radar booms. These open array antennas are 6 ft. Long....not easy to maneuver down from the top of the yacht. They have been primed and are back on the yacht and installed with high gloss snow white awlgrip marine paint. Im replacing my PTZ (pan tilt zoom) FLIR (forward looking infared) camera, and will be painting the 2 large KVH communications domes...sat TV, and sat phone. They are large and look like 2 R2-D2 droids from star wars. At the same time im repairing the teak decks by resetting fasteners and replacing missing and broken bungs. Im also fabricating 2 new quarter sawn flame grain mahogany handrails for the boarding gang way. Oh ya.....im cutting a monster aztec walnut and receiving a giant Norfolk pine tree to the log lot. I am a father to a 7 year old boy too so time is short these days....should get new help at work next week ....i hope !!

You could hire me Bart...

My commute time would only allow me a half hour though.
