Me in Krohn Conservatory
In my last post, I talked about the Krohn Conservatory which is on Mt. Adams in Cincinnati (I think). Above is my picture in front of a big cactus there. Krohn has a lot of neat exhibits: dessert, bonsai, tropical, etc. And, if you can believe this, it is actually free to the public, although you should give a donation because the place is really neat!
I also took my parents to Overlook Park, as promised, but didn’t manage to post the picture to Flickr. Maybe I will work on that later.
But, folks, I wanted to tell you about my day of training. Did you know that Toyota trains its Team Members (individuals who work on the production line) to be able to tell if a bolt is fully tight or not just by tapping it with a hammer and listening for a certain sound? And that they will expect you to be able to visually discern between 2.5mm and 3mm? Maybe that doesn’t surprise you because you are super skilled at everything, but I was impressed with the level of sensory acuteness you needed in order to build a Toyota. So for about 7 or 8 hours today, we tried out all these different skills sets since we’ll be doing the ‘line experience’ in maybe a week or two. And then for 2 weeks, I’ll be on a bus at 4:45 a.m. and won’t get back to my room until around 7 p.m. You can send your sympathy cards to the Residence Inn, Erlanger.
I’m feeling like its a tomato soup night, don’t you? Of course you don’t, you had a wrap.
Over and out,
Cory
