Happy Tuesday,

The leaves are changing quickly here in Vermont. Just last week there was little color to be seen in central Vermont, except for higher elevations, but by the end of the weekend fiery oranges and reds could be seen everywhere. It’s a wonderful time of year to visit Vermont, and our brave little state could sure use the commerce after the calamitous flooding late last month.

Most of our roads and bridges are open again, so unfettered travel is possible through 99% of the state. Now and again we see customers take detours from planned routes to visit our stores in their travels. Just the other day a customer from Ohio stopped by the Waitsfield store, asking to speak with me—he’d been a Tech Tails reader for more than ten years. It takes a special kind of company and a special kind of customer for that interaction to happen, and it’s heartwarming to be a part of it.

We have two new additions to our technical services team. Lance Putnam and Michael Burl are getting up to speed in our South Burlington facility, and I know they’ll both bloom into highly productive members of the team. Come by and say hi!

As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
