DAWG DAYS OF SUMMER

This is your mid-summer warning: there's only a few weeks left before kids are back in school and businesses and industry get back into full swing. September and October are busy months in the plant and in the office, and before you get a chance to catch your breath, it will be December.

Summer is too short, the years fly by too fast, and memories made of things you do spur-of-the-moment are too precious. This is your mid-summer alert and nudge to make more of those moments while it's still summer. Yes, there will be weekends, and yes there may be vacations planned during the coming winter or spring, but summer memories are priceless. There's still time paint yourself into a couple more.

And then, its time to get "back at it", as your businesses, companies and customers wake up from their hazy, "tough-to-get-things-done" summer mode and kick back into their "we-need-to-have-it-now" mode.

But for now, enjoy the summer a little bit longer.
