Yep KF, got it scoped and cartilidge on both meniscuses cut out. Doing well so far via icing, light exercises and a whole bunch of positive thinking. Should be good to go for muzzleloader season next month, not tip top by any means, but good enough.......Sure nice to have a knee that doesn't sound like chickenbones cracking when you walk......
Lean Manufacturing........boy, ain't that the hot topic at Boeing the past couple years? I've been to a Lean conference in St. Louis, done a 3P workshop, and all ya hear around our work is to implement Lean. We could be a whole lot leaner if we just got rid of about 90% of many useless managers who know nothing other than to micromanage (actually, not micromanage, that would indicate that they actually are managing.....they want us to provide detailed reporting on progress daily in a different format than we provide to the floor......I told them if they want to get lean, go down on the floor and get the info but that didn't go over well......). BTW, if you don't know this already, LEAN manufacturing didn't start in Japan. It was invented by Henry Ford, actually. Japan just picked up on it when we dropped the ball (in the 70s). If you're interested in some of that history and principles before you go to Japan, let me know and I'll point you to a couple good St. Louis websites on Lean and Lean symposiums. No shortage of info on it. I hope you get to whack a muley this fall as I'm pretty sure that Lean can wait a week for ya......... Myke
