Chelsea & Kari
?? Martin Engineering hosted an in-house blood drive with the Red Cross. You know what they say..."coworkers who donate blood together, stay together." More like, "...get to see each other pale and a little unsteady." But, we did our good deed for the day. And to make the reward a little sweeter, we each received a $100 Amazon gift card as a token of appreciation. Well done, Martin Engineering, well done! ??

Air Cannons: The "Force Multiplier" Effect
Air Cannons can free up staff time, reduce manpower, increase productivity, improve equipment utilization, and enhance safety. These benefits contribute to a "force multiplier" effect where air cannons allow staff and manpower to be utilized more effectively in other areas across the operation.

Closing thoughts from Kari & Chelsea

Blended with Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore. Somehow, we completely overlooked this 2014 film. It was funny, heartwarming, and included several references/cameos from past Sandler movies ("Hi, I'm Tom!").
???Reading:?
The Fury by Alex Michaelides - A thriller about a reclusive ex–movie star and her famous friends whose impromptu trip to a private island is upset by a murder.?
???Listening:
Zach Bryan's Quittin' Time tour setlist...trying to relive his concert in Chicago last week. Can't recall the last time a performer & crowd maintained that level of energy the entire time, we didn't sit down once! Zach did NOT disappoint. Chicago kicked off the tour, so scope out tour dates & locations.??
