Mondays around the shop ,for the greater zen

Most people hate Mondays. that must suck
Our hours of 'open to the public' are tue through fri 6 am to 6 pm. Mon and Sat are by appt only.
This might seem odd, but it makes since from a operational perspective .Airkooled Kustoms is a restoration
shop. Our core cliental are nut and bolt restorations. That means every nut/bolt and component is eather restored to better than factory or replaced with new, and then detailed. We do do service work, build suspensions as well as build one off kustom trikes , but primarily it ocd restorations . And for that to happen
planning, timing, and part prep is critical.
  The four day work week is a good thing for us, on the personal side, 3 days off..... can't beat that, for the staff here it is a bonus day to take care of life in gen, doc appt, kids , yard work, long weekend at the beach,  less day in traffic, one less day gas cost.
 On the professional side the type of work we do lends  itself to a longer day. Before you get in an up roar
the staff is set to 10 hrs per day 4 days a week, and can set there own hrs, with in reason. I , the evil corporate owner, am the only one who puts in insane hrs. most days I am in the shop by 430 am and I try to get out by 5 p.m., at least for dinner. Plus I have 4 acres worth of yard to mow.
Sorry digressing a bit
 The longer day provides the craftsmen to lose himself in his work, For Zens  sake ,

 Mondays provide me with time to get caught up, on projects, paperwork, cleaning the shop, you would not believe just how dirty the shop gets, I know "Its a shop" but DAMNNNNNNN.
anyway
 back to pushing the broom
