... and what do you do?

A few weeks ago some people from AP (Associated Press) came by and took some pictures and interview some of the people at the plant and I think this is the result. www.deseretnews.com/article/content/mobile/1,5620,700239756,00.html I don't have a quote but perhaps I should think up a good one for the next time someone comes by.

looks good. It's always good to have some comment ready. My problem is when I'll need it, I'll draw a blank and look like an idiot.

How about "I don't know why I care about these guns, the Bakers pay s---!" How is Hol doing with Bucky?

The Bucky is fine and so is your suggestion for a quote.

Who is Bucky? Someone new in the family? Or a new pet in the family? I'm impressed by the writeup about the gun factory. And to think my son-in-law helps make those specialized, magnificient handguns! You are awesome! Gotta love ya, says

I enjoyed reading the article. I didn't realize the extent of the work done at the factory. I, too, draw a blank when it comes time to say anything or give a talk in church. I always feel like an idiot.

I liked the article. Where was your quote? Who is Bucky? It is nice to know what you do there, What is your position there? that is what specifically do you do in the gun making process?

OK, to clear up some questions. Bucky is Wyo sis's cat. To answer Big sis, I run what is called CNC machines that is (C)omputer (N)umeric (C)ontrol machines. The short answer is I make parts on machinery that is controled by computer programs. I program them and set them up and monitor them to insure they "fit the print" or match the blue print. I make all the parts that go into the gun except springs and screws.

Glad to know what your specific creative job is at the gun plant, son-in-law! Keep up the exacting work, so those there guns fire accurately, says 2 Lazy 2 Granny.
