Friday night. The boys have just finished some mac&cheese and are watching a movie. It has been a very busy week and I'm enjoying a "well deserved" glass of zinfandel. Speaking of which, Mark and I have got into the habit of chilling our reds. It's warm enough - everything needs a quick chill in the fridge these days.
It has been a very busy week at Import Supply. We've had some good sales this week including finding out we won the RFP for a major contract - ironically for the power authority in the Virgin Islands. Yes - even the power authority needs help. There were a number of power outages this week - resulting in a few service issues and new people deciding they have had enough with relying on our power authority.
Yesterday - we delivered a massive two-megawatt generator - one of the largest ever installed on the island. It was all hands on deck and one of the largest cranes on the island lifted the generator and fortunately, managed to safely land this very heavy piece of equipment at the assigned space.
This week we have also branched into new marketing activities for Import Supply. From business cards, to some new decals for our vehicles and some very modest attempts at advertising in the local daily newspaper. Oh! And we had to order some new t-shirts for our technicians - including some mini-Import Supply gear for Max and Julian. Shameless advertising.
Last weekend - Mother's Day - Mark and the boys took me out for a surprise boat trip. We went down to American Yacht Harbour - just across from where we live and jumped into a 25-foot power boat with a cooler full of snacks and cold drinks. We buzzed over to St. John and around a few of the smaller islands off St. Thomas - swam off the boat and enjoyed being out on the water. A great day - with minimal sunburns.
