I'm not even going to say it…
I've always enjoyed watching The Great Food Truck Race on Food Network, and now that they are here in Saint Louis this weekend for Season 5, I plan on hitting at least one of them, hopefully 2! (though, it will be a bit of a spoiler for when the season starts airing… since they are already down to 4 competitors.)
rode my bike to work 2X this week, Tuesday and Wednesday. Hope to do it 3 or 4 times a week regularly while it's warm out. There is a locker room in the shop area, with a shower, so I can clean up before starting work. I think this will be my main route in to work. It adds a bit of distance versus going straight down Hanley, but the dogleg avoids a section of Hanley that doesn't have sidewalk going south. (Yes, much of the distance, I am riding on sidewalk…)
Did a road trip for work yesterday, to get the electric meter #s for several of our signs. Specifically to verify the meter# for one that has been showing no usage for a couple of years, and to get the # for one that is coming down soon. And yes, it is sort of scary that we have had a meter showing no usage for so long, and it hasn't been checked on yet. I am slowly working on adding the meter #s to our online Oracle db. Sometimes, I can get it from the location description on the bill, but some, well… x, 5mi w of HWY 61, sign, Wentzville MO doesn't help a lot, when there are none right there. Closest is 4 miles west or 5.5 miles…
One annoying thing: we get summary bill from Ameren MO (about 180 pages) and it is sorted by account #, which in general is a good way to do it. However, there are times that a list sorted by ZIP code would be very useful, and they have told me that they can't do that. :( Surely I'm not the only person in a company that would find that useful. Of course, most companies probably don't have nearly as many accounts as we do. Just typing that out, I also thought about asking them if I could get a printout of our accounts in METER order.
