08:27:44
<Dave from B™> Morning everyone!
08:28:55
<Mike J> Morning Dave
08:28:57
<Betty> morning Dave
08:29:08
<Betty> morning Mike
08:29:23
<Mike J> greetings Betty
08:29:41
<Mike J> Short responses. Need caffeine.
08:31:15
<Dave from B™> Back to labor struggles again. Had a part timer resign earlier in the week due to reoccurring health issues and Taylor is having to do the fun task of letting a full timer go because they have been on their phone constantly since being hired a month ago and he is standing around doing nothing....so, down 1.5. We are opening positions for 2.5 members
08:31:42
<Kat> Morning Dave, Mike
08:31:49
<Dave from B™> It's hard trying to grow when I can't grow my staff
08:31:53
<Dave from B™> Hi, Kat
08:32:20
<Kat> Must be really Frustrating!
08:33:06
<Dave from B™> time consuming training and interviewing. 4 interviews for a new operations asst position today
08:33:24
<Dave from B™> Too many people retired since COVID
08:33:54
<Dave from B™> Enough renting. Anyone have fun plans for the weekend?
08:34:01
<Dave from B™> renting?:D
08:34:19
<Kat> Haha
08:34:41
<Kat> That would be ranting right?
08:34:55
<Dave from B™> Tell spellcheck that!!!
08:35:44
<Kat> :)
08:37:20
<Betty> first time ever you used spellcheck, Dave
08:39:04
<Dave from B™> hahahahaha
08:47:11
<Mike J> No plans this weekend, but Wednesday I'm headed to Santa Fe to meet a friend. We're going to eat our way through Santa Fe and Albuquerque for 3 days.
08:47:42
<Betty> wow, sounds great :-)
08:48:20
<Mike J> I've said it here before, but the best Mexican food in the states is in New Mexico.
08:48:36
<Mike J> And the margaritas ain't bad, either.
08:48:47
<Betty> :-D
08:49:19
<Kat> Mike J, Yummy!
08:50:13
<Dave from B™> Headed there next Sept/oct:)
08:50:23
<Mike J> Plus, some really nice scenery around in that part of New Mexico
08:50:37
<Mike J> I remember that Dave - balloon festival, right?
08:50:41
<Mike J> You'll have a great time.
08:51:25
<Betty> Lion
08:51:37
<Dave from B™> Yep. We are giving Hugo a bath after work tonight and putting him away until March
08:52:05
<Betty> oh, he´s hybernating
08:52:16
<Dave from B™> I wish Carlsbad wasn't so far from Albuquerque and Sante Fe
08:52:40
<Mike J> Yeah, Carlsbad is a bit of a schlep from northern New Mexico.
08:55:05
<Dave from B™> Maybe, we will go there when we go to Texas in March. Would that make more sense?
08:56:12
<Mike J> If you're in west texas, yes. Otherwise, it's still a drive.
08:58:00
<Mike J> It's about 2 hours ENE from El Paso, and 3 hours WSW from Lubbock. (If that makes sense.) Only thing I'll say is that, if you can figure out how to make it part of a trip, it is definitely worth it.
09:01:17
<Dave from B™> We will be passing thru Lubbock either coming or going
09:04:55
<Dave from B™> My fresh seafood mgr was the meast mgr in Sante Fe for Whole Foods so I know he will have lots of advice for things to do
09:07:21
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Wow! It is still working!
09:07:40
<Kat> Kevin L™ 🌵, Morning - still going
09:07:41
<Betty> hi Kevin
09:08:41
<Dave from B™> Morning Kevin...it's waiting to break down during your shift.
09:11:10
<Betty> Not the day for Kevins shift, Dave
09:12:03
<Kevin L™ 🌵> If you are going to be passing through Lubbock that would be a good time for Carlsbad.
09:17:06
<Dave from B™> Thanks, Kevin. That will keep my NM trip up north for Chama, Mesa Verde, etc
09:17:41
<Kevin L™ 🌵> Don't forget Pagosa Springs....
09:25:37
<Dave from B™> Kevin and Mike J, I will be asking for recommendations once trip planning begins; if you don't mind:)
09:26:07
<Dave from B™> Now, I'm thinking of CW Mccall again
09:39:45

10:46:29
<Dave from B™> It is fun seeing smaller features closeup
10:47:27
