    Remember the "Best pass" problem... Not working. I finally got my working; you just have to push open the back and replace the two cheap "Panasonic batteries" with better ones, It's been working great now.

    Home time is over. Been home since last Sunday, time to head out in the morning. Got a call on Friday that I have a trainee that finished orientation on Friday that’s waiting for me. I’ll know in the morning where I’ll be headed. More than likely back to Richmond to pick the trainee up.
     
    Vic Firth and Lonesome Thank this.

    FYI: The entrance to Boar's Head Groveport is under construction. The driveway and particularly the entrance by the gatehouse are festooned with orange construction barrels blocking the way. Deliveries to BH Groveport should go to their backup 2nd-string guard shack down at the other end of the yard.

    According to the dude in the guard shack, the barrels went up Friday morning. Also according to the dude in the guard shack, the presence of the barrels did not deter one of our fellow Abilenies who, when confronted with a brace of construction barrels blocking his way, simply moved them out of the way to get to the usual guard shack.

    Did he get out of the truck to move them or did he employ his deer guard?.

    Im heading there now so need to decide upon a course of action before I get there.

    The dude left me with the impression that the guy just plowed through the barrels with his truck, but I think he might have been embellishing the story a bit.

    Embellished?, must have been a truck driver in his former life.

    There is a paving crew there now so i opted not to use the deer guard as they would have made a mess of it.
