You can keep your Taco Bell,
Your Mickey D's,
Your KFC....
I love my local greasy spoon.
Local little place called Donlands restaurant.
Been going there since I was a kid.
Went there today to grab lunch as a matter of fact.
Ahh....
The MONSTER club with fries plastered with gravy of course.
And this is only half (already ate the other half)
Sweet deal for $8...

Support your locals folks.
Otherwise they'll be gone and we'll be stuck eating the dog food the chains serve.

Of course having such a high end job I have a very luxurious lunch room.

Eat while you work.
Oh well, it's a living.

Yeah, we do seem to be becoming semi extinct.
Is that a four colour with a coater?
What size?
I see the familiar box of Varn offset powder.

Yep, I'm living the dream too.
I'm running a POS Ryobi 3404 DI
Waterless ink.... Ack!

Here's the steaming POS that I'm stuck running.

There was a place called Ron's Smoke Shop
Right beside Donlands Restaurant
I went in there from age 6 to 26
When I was a kid, he had a massive case full of Dinky's, Corgi's and Matchbox
I had quite a collection.
The owner was the sweetest old guy.
I go out of my way to support the little guy.
God, I hate hellmart and the likes.

LOL :laughing4:......the ol AB Dick...ran one of those before!

Talking about impressions, we are only a one shift shop too. Two "bigger" presses, the one I run and a 28 " Komori 5 color / coat. Over on the small press side is a newer than that ^^^^ 2 color AB Dick and a 2/color Heidelburg.

Someone was talking about "scratch and sniff" ink.....we actually were going to print a job with some of that...till the customer found out how much the ink cost! :tongue9:

When I was REALLY young, running an AB Dick 360
We had this total a**hole customer..
One day I did a "scratch 'n sniff" job for him without his knowing about it.
Lets just say I "added" a little something to the fountain solution. :toothy6:
