The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXVIII

JARblue · 04-23-2018, 09:54 AM

Hit up K1 Speed for the first time this weekend. Never done anything like that before. It was a lot of fun

First race I got first place by setting the fastest lap. I was surprised considering it was my first time out and I was all over the place, but not surprised at the same time considering the competition in that heat. The second race was against a lot more experience. I improved my best lap time by a full second but was still 1.5 seconds off pace and finished 7th. I bought 8 races, so I'm looking forward to more racing soon!

How's everyone this morning?

I remember going through the ISO 9000 certs years ago. And it was a PITA.

Hasn't changed. But AS9100 was worse. Knowing how to do it keeps my services in demand, so I can't say it bothers me too much, but definitely the most stressful time of year for me.

When I went through it. It was when ISO 9000 certs first came out. Nobody knew anything about it at that time. For the company I worked for at that time. It was just another way of covering your asss with a paper trail.

Man, Im not gonna lie, I'm having a really really good day today...

eastwest2300 · 04-23-2018, 02:51 PM

Ohhh fellas, sooo when I was installing my side blades, I removed my mud guards on my Z, and to my surprise, my Z had a magnetic black AND a black cherry colored mud guard... needless to say, I threw them both out... cant do anything with 2 different colored mud guards..how the hell does that happen?

I'm fortunate in that it's much better established now. There are way more industry standards for how to operate. In some ways it still IS a form of CYA, when it's done wrong. Used correctly, it provides a lot of valuable information on how your business should operate (but it's also a big difference from early editions). Still... it's bureaucracy. That means lot's of paperwork.
