Football: BYU vs Cincinnati October 16, 2015

What a wonderful evening for a football game. . . The first three quarters were really scary and BYU was down 7 going into the forth quarter. . . Over the next 15 minutes BYU scored 3 touchdowns to win by 14.  The team seemed like a different team in the fourth quarter. . . and not just on one side of the ball.  The offense and the defense really stepped it up to make the win possible.

Football: BYU vs East Carolina — October 10, 2015

BYU eventually won this game 45-38.  Got a little scary after Tanner Magnum went down and was replaced by true freshmen Beau Hoge.  The next three series BYU went 3 and out allowing East Carolina to tie the game.  Then for the final series Tanner returned to the game with his injured hamstring.

He led the team down the field with a touchdown being scored with 19 secs left in the game.  Team breakdown in the 4th almost sent this game to overtime.  It was an exciting game and glad that Alyssa, Ryan and Sydney could join Lynn and I.

Sunset as we begin our evening WALK

Lynn and I have been trying to walk in the evenings and the last few weeks we have been much better at getting out consistently.  Many days Lynn will walk in the morning which puts her over 10,000 steps before we begin.  I have been good at consistently getting much closer to the 10,000 step goal.  All in all it has been good to have private time to talk and enjoy each others company.

VIEW to the East as we started our walk tonight. . . . .2015-08-30 19.57.26

Work Project — Snapfulfil

At work I have been responsible for implementing SnapFulfil for our warehouse inventory management.  Project has been in the works since March of this year. . . . In the past many areas were maintaining different lists of inventory items.  The first thing we did was take a hard look at the many sources of inventory items. In the end we made accounting responsible for creating the items and the item number.  Then further reduced the sources of inventory numbers Now two other systems, SnapFulfil and our internal admin systems, can use that standard number to identify the product.  This was a very painful process but now all the departments are on the same page with item identification.  A requirement to be able to build and manage the warehouse for the future growth and consistency. . . . .

Today we built and sent our first packages using standard shippers.  Packages were sent to destinations in the USA, Canada and Australia with different shipping methods.

(All packages arrived at their destinations successfully.)
