TGIF... with a holiday weekend on the horizon. It’s my final day here at Heritage Logo Works and it’s almost a bit depressing. We have had a great week and I have become fond of my new friends. It will be a little hard to say goodbye at the day’s end.

I love a routine. When you travel as much as I do, you almost relish a bit of consistency. Once again, shortly before the crack of dawn, Gary picked me up at the hotel. Only this time it was in the company limo. Not exactly a town car. More like a delivery van.

Back at the office, we had to hit the ground running. By my outline, we were half a day behind so no time for coffee and bagels. Okay... less time for coffee and bagels, but we knew we would need to hit it hard.

When Gary showed up at my hotel at 6:45 this morning, I was excited to hit the office. Yesterday had been a good day. We got the inkjet running, built some art, output some files, selected mesh, checked some tensions and began building screens for today’s activities. Quite a little accomplished, leaving us feeling great about the day ahead.

Day two began early when Gary picked me up at the hotel shortly before 7 a.m. (that’s 5 Colorado time, folks). The weather was brisk and we would hit the ground running once we reached the office. Gary, Rose, Nancy and I met for an overview of our goals for the week the make sure we were all on the same page. We would need to put in some work hard to accomplish the plan.

Hit the road early this morning. Coming from Colorado and going east to Plymouth Michigan got me in about half way through the day. Nancy and Rose, two owners of Heritage, picked me up at the Detroit airport and drove the short 20 or so minutes to the shop where I we met up with the other owner, Gary. After the meet and great a quick tour of the place they ran me to the hotel where I could change into some work clothes and get back to the shop begin our makeover.
