[runeight]

We have a diversified group here on the oRg. From Blue Collar to upper Management.

Stock Market down 33% this year, Auto manufactures broke, Financial system broke, Retail sector is very hard hit with Bankruptcies monthly.

With that being said "How are things?"

You know I'm in the Gas Turbine replacement part business. Business is up. We are hiring guys and also asking some of the guys to put in more hours....
I'm not complaining.
Will part 2 be in 4 years?

as long as people keep going about their normal lives, things should be okay. If EVERYONE stops spending at once, we'll all be out of a job

[Lurch]

I am out of work by the end of the year I was just told. That makes me and 2 of my brothers out of work now in the last 3 weeks. Not looking good

A guy I knew out of Sac was in that biz too.. I think he worked for a company that rebuilt the things.. I got to walk through a gas turbine generator in Bakersfield (power generator for an oil field) that they rebuilt.. what a cool machine that was...

As long as there is a need for electricity, I got a job. Providing I keep my mouth shut too!

Business is up, much of our automation is used in the bread making industry. We have a 75+ year history that shows people consume more bread when things are tough.

Bread in the supermarket and buns at Mcdonald's (both made with our equipment) are in high production mode now.

People seem to be delaying taking care of health issues because of the economy (layoffs and plant closures) and rapid increases in deductibles and co-pays required by health insurance plans.
