Inventory

Blade Bolt... find number, write, count, catalog, put into appropriate box.

Lag screw... find number, write, count, catalog, put into appropriate box.
Gasket - Oil Seal... find number, write, count, catalog, put into appropriate box.

On and on it goes.  This is what doing inventory involves.  You pick up a part, find it's number on the package if it's in a package, find the number in the many pages long list of parts, and write down how many of them you found in this particular box. If you find more in another box you add the number to this number for a total. It is time consuming work and most people find it rather boring, though I actually don't mind it.  I am about to go over to Ray's now and continue my job of inventorying all his parts and supplies in his shop. It's a big job, this will be day 3 of my being there doing this. 

It's a fairly cloudy day, though also reasonably warm, though inside Ray's shop it can be very chilly, so I will wear warm clothes and drink lots of hot tea while I work.
