It is the annual physical inventory time for just about every auto dealership in the country. It can be a real pain in the ass as the weeks wind down to the day when the actual count takes place. Paperwork must be meticulous during this final month (should be all the time). An outside firm comes in and takes our physical. I used to do it myself years ago in much smaller stores but with the size of the inventory that we have it just make sense to have someone from outside do it. In addition, it keeps everyone honest. Parts Managers handle a lot of money with very few questions asked by owners. The owners give a blank check to the Parts Manager at the beginning of each year looking for a return on the monies they have invested. A good Parts Manager looks at himself as a money manager and takes the appropriate steps to invest wisely.
Spent a lot of time recently delving into my roots. New information becomes available and I sit down and sift through it on Ancesty.com. At times it seems overwhelming. You start with a couple of hints about an individual and end up with 79 more after you determine the information is right and add it to your family tree. My tree has grown considerably over the past two days. Among my records are Sons of the American Revolution and Loyalist but, so far, no one famous. I now know that my ancestry leads back to England with some German mixed in. Quite a few of my relatives lived in Canada at one time.
Well that is all I have at the moment. Inventory is looming on the horizon as I said and I need to enjoy my last full day off for the next couple of weeks. Hope everyone is having fun out there.
