The Weekend Update

This post comes on Tuesday because Tinashe and I spent much of Monday at the abattoir, and I had to leave work a bit early to make my small group car pool. I hope you don't mind.

We were at the abattoir basically to get a feel for how things were going. I'm working on a report for how we can better operate at the abattoir from an efficiency and operations viewpoint. Most of what we learned at the abattoir was the same as what I'd already seen, but it was good for Tinashe to get exposed to some of it. We also implemented a new system for tracking chickens and weights through the abattoir. It's been helpful for us so far, and we're hoping that it will prove even more beneficial over the long-term.

The weekend was sunny and warm (which is always good, because it means my laundry doesn't get rained on while it's drying). While Skyping with my parents on Saturday, however, I learned that Len Zydowicz passed away late last week. I had known he was having health problems, but I was caught off-guard. Len and Barb have been such close friends of my family that they have become family for all intents and purposes. I think the hardest part was not being able to attend the funeral, but my heart prayers certainly go out to Barb and her family.

God bless,
-Ben
