JUST A QUICK NOTE

Hi everyone! Sorry, but I just noticed that the Corru-Gator Video in mentioned in the last post is down on YouTube. Not sure why, but I'm looking into it.

THE WOLFF HIRA-TO® FLAT HONE VIDEO IS UP ON YOUTUBE

Finally! The Hira-To® Overview Video is up and running on the Wolff YouTube Channel. It took me a while to finish this one between filling in in the back and troubles with uploads (technology isn't always fun). I'll be adding more as time allows with more step-by-step instructions. Take a look at the overview video below and let me know what you think. I'll see ya next week.

WOLFF TRIP TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

The Wolff trip to the Dominican Republic was great! We got a lot of work done, and mixed in a little play too. Here are a few details:

This is Maria, our fearless leader down in the Dominican. She is in charge of the plant that we work with just outside of Santo Domingo. She runs a tight ship!

This is Victor. He is our lead sharpener in the Dominican and the Sharpening Supervisor. I call him our Dominican Garnard (our super-duper almost magical sharpener here in the States). Victor is the one that does all our weird jobs down there.

Here are two of the Sharpeners hard at work. They do a number of our poultry shears. There are normally four in all, and Victor has them doing a top-notch job.

Most of my time was spent training and going over different procedures with some of the new Sharpeners and working on some specialized sharpening with Victor. I'll be headed that way again in about six weeks.

While most of the time was spent working in the Dominican Republic, David and I still found some time to get out and look around. Here's a quick sampling:

This is David introducing me to Dominican Goat. It was rather good. It tasted a lot like pot roast. You can also see avocado, fried plantains, boiled yucca root, and fried mashed plantains. The green bottle is Presidente, the Dominican national beer.

This is the back veranda of the Hotel David and I stayed at. It was beautiful! There are many beautiful places in the Dominican Republic!

This is a picture of Christopher Columbus' son Diego's house. It was not at all what I expected. It is now a national museum.

This was the first church built in the new world. It was amazing to stand in a place that had so much history surrounding it.

Last, but not least, was the Niña's Anchor (or so the claim). True or not, it was fun to touch what may be a piece of history.

BE BACK LATER THIS WEEK

I'm headed out to the Dominican Republic today and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get online or not. If I can, I'll write a few posts about the trip. If I can't, I'll be back on Friday and will be back at blogging then. I hope everyone has a great week! I'll see ya later!
