Today we had no guest speakers so it was a review of the material already covered.  We also worked on our meat cuts using flash cards. There are cards for beef, pork, and lamb.  Everyone seems to be getting a handle on it and they have been a good study aid for us.

In the afternoon we drove around the town of Plainwell just to get the lay of the land.  It seems to be a  nice little community.  We also drove past JBS just to see what the plant looked like.  I was a little surprised, it didn't seem big enough to employ as many people as it does.

Everyone seems to be getting along okay with no major flare ups. As some of the guys have families at home, there's bound to be some stress, though they seem to be handling it okay.  Well that's all for today tomorrow we have Tom here and going to the Gilmore Auto Museum for an outing which should be interesting.
