I've Left the BreakRAK Company as Operations Manager, machinist, assembler, sales & shipping Clerk

[ceebee]

As of yesterday, Mr. Vern McGee & I are no longer working together, for "The GREAT Break Shot Company (i.e., the BreakRAK). I think Mr Vern Mcgee will become the new owner & I will just be part of the BreakRAK's history. It's been fun, Good Luck to all of you. It was a good 25 year run. I'm 83 & tired of working all the time.

You 'think' VM is taking over? Is he gonna keep making them or not?

I think so, he has room full of inventory & bunch of them made... "I think" meaning he has some older sons, who may take over Operations

Cool product. You earned your time off after making airplanes,cues and other cool stuff.

I was a Tooling Engineer for the BOEING Co, for about 30 years, I worked on the 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, the Space Shuttle & started when the Saturn 5 was the launch vehicle. I designed little Machine Tools & Major Assembly Tools... all over America, but Mostly Seattle.. When I Retired, I was designing Major Assembly Tooling on a Computer....

The state of tooling engineering in the US is in dire need. Watch this video starting at 28 minutes, but also watch the whole thing because it is interesting. It is very difficult to manufacture in entirety here.

By the way I ended up buying the smarter scrubber to support him, and it is indeed a high quality product.

I think we're screwed as a nation if we can't do the intelligent work
of tool and die, making the tools that make the things. It used to be that America did the smart thing,
and then we would send the machine that we made to another country, and the country would operate the machine in the developing world.
We have flipped it. We are now to the point where the smart stuff is done somewhere else,
and they send us the machines, and we push the buttons to operate the machines.
I need you to understand this because I realize we have lost something very, very important, and we did it
by lulling ourselves to sleep, by pushing money around and doing the intellectual property work, but not doing the manufacturing work.

What an amazing career, you should be proud and ready to take a break.

Good luck with the next chapter in your life. Seems to me that you've earned a little free time.
