July 17th "Sorry about that!"


Ok…sorry sorry sorry,

I’ve been posting my blog twice a week for a couple of months and then I suddenly left you guys hanging without any explanation.

Yeah…sorry about that.

So here is the deal:

On July 1 our family business ceased being a family business.  A fairly large multi-national company bought us out…(well not our buildings…the family still owns that and is leasing them to the new company).  The generation above me “took the package” and walked out the door.  We now have new blood and new policies and procedures. 

The new owners seem cool.  A little too much interested in process and less on product…but that may just be my jaundiced initial assessment.  Like my new CFO commented when I mentioned the employees were nervous….”we are the new owners…we are all liars until proven otherwise”.  It is a good turn of phrase, and while a little harsh, does sort of nail the zeitgeist around here.

With all the new business practices I’ve been a little swamped and really have not had time to write about anything…much less shoot or hunt!

Anyhow…that will change shortly.  Look for a new blog post next week!

Again sorry about the abruptness of  it all, but hey…things happen right?
