FLASH BACK!

A friend of ours designed, patented and manufactured these flashing lights for bicycles. He paid our 4 oldest kids to assemble them, which included baking each one in the oven for a few minutes. They also packaged them in the display packaging and then put 12 in a cardboard box ready for shipping to the stores. They had quite the assembly line going with music or a video playing. They put together thousands and thousands of them! Jared was recently cleaning out some stuff and came across this one. He gave it to us with a "remember this!" Dave put in a new battery and it works like a charm.


I (Beccy) used to carry one while I exercised walked each evening with a friend. Great asset for driver visibility!
Another one for the resume! ;)

We used to find that a well crafted argument really increased productivity!

I was telling Brian that! We used to argue about everything on purpose. Made the time fly by.
