One of my regular stops is a place way out in the wilds of eastern Contra Costa County. Long drive to get to, but fun people who are friendly.

Today, they began using a new inventory tracking system. I was supposed to pick up two orders. The first was ready for me, all 900lbs on its pallet, snugly wrapped in industrial-grade plastic. The second?

Ooo.. slight problem. The old inventory system said that the 2,500 anchor bolts I was supposed to load were in the warehouse. The new system said they were on a truck heading for Las Vegas. I had to sit around while they searched the warehouse and reviewed the paper trail.

I hope the bolts have a good time in Sin City.

Today was long. Several stops in San Jose/Fremont, then off to Tracy, Brentwood, Antioch, and Pittsburg. Ran up about 200 miles.

So, while the inventory tracking system was being switched from old to new, the bits of hardware in question bided their time and, when nobody was looking, bolted for Vegas.

Niiiice. ;-)

That does put a new twist on an old tale.
