Working On Vacation
This week following Thanksgiving I am with my family at our cabin in Pennsylvania, which was built by my Great-Grandfather. It was initially a 12'X18' room with no heat or water. Over the years it has been improved upon until it now has electricity, a living room, full bathroom, a bedroom with 9 bunks, a full kitchen, a gas furnace, telephone service and an ADT alarm system. But today is truely historic as it is the first time that the internet was plugged into the cabin. I am using my cell phone as a modem to make this post, and when I plugged my laptop power cord, the cabin essentially had internet service installed. It boggles the mind to think of the technological advancement in 4 generations, but what is cause for greater pause is that I don't know how to install the gas furnace, kitchen, or bathroom. That may be cause for reassessing priorities.
I will be working here throughout the week until I return home. Don't think I forgot those convention pictures, they are coming.

Yes I know the group well. Building and developing things are dominate male Hildebrand genes. The products just look different in successive generations! Their vision does not let them rest with the status quo. Absolute resolve and incredible self discipline see them to the goal.
