My Heatstroke Induced Ramblings My daughter, Jordan, graduated from WSU this month. My son is going to turn 18, Jerrols just hit 67, and I am trying to figure out how this all happened. I am absolutely not that old. I can’t be. Is it just me? Wow…… Does anyone else feel this way?

I just can’t figure out how I can be 49 years old. I believe it must be what Einstein meant when he referred to the relativity of time. When we are younger it seems to move much much slower, and later in life time goes so fast it is hard understand.

That brings me to a whole new issue with time: Half of this year is up. Are you half way to your goals? If not, now is the time to make adjustments to your strategy in order to ensure you get the results you are anticipating. ************************** We have a new Frontline Team member. Abby Beauchamp joined us in June. She grew up in Marysville and is attending CWU. Her goal is a degree in Psychology. It is always so fun to bring a new member on to what we think of as our Jerrol’s “boat” ride. It always impresses me how everyone steps up and helps our during our new team member orientation and training. I think we all learn more by teaching than the person we are teaching!! ************************** Speaking of learning, we now have a new online video that walks you (literally) through our history starting in 1947. You can view it at http://History.Jerrols.com . We have gotten one suggestion to make a spoof of the video using aliens. I am going to take that as a compliment and look forward to seeing what they put together. I wonder if the alien is going to play my role?? ************************** Go enjoy your summer, I am counting down the days till snow flies…...

KC Technology Ellensburg

KC Technology is a high end competition water ski manufacturer located in Ellensburg and owned by Denny and Creed Kidder. Denny is a living legend in the world of water-ski manufacturing. Denny’s designs have been used by the best water ski competitors in the world for over 4 decades. Denny’s passion has always been the design and production of three-event competition water-ski products. In the 80’s his Kidder Redline ruled the competitive slalom scene. The best jump skiers in the world were riding Kidder jump skis and the Kidder trick ski is still the benchmark by which all others will be measured. In the mid-nineties Denny sold the Kidder brand and started KD Skis. His new design the KD 7000 instantly became a hit. The 7000 was ultimately awarded ski design of the decade by Water Ski Magazine.

company who produces jump skis, trick skis and slalom skis. We remain dedicated to the three event competitor.

To date D3 Skis holds world records and continue to dominate the podiums at jump, trick and slalom events all over the world.

Jerrol’s Building Expansion Update & New Winegars Location You will find a full display of the floor plans, site plan and pictures of what the outside of the building will look like the next time you visit the store. Kelly Schademan, our general contractor has been working with the city on our building permits.

Fast forward to 2001. Denny had sold KD but the fire still burned inside to produce three event skis for the high end competitor. “ We made the decision to let the other companies worry about tubes, combos, vests and such.” “We wanted to focus on three-event hard goods for the passionate, hard-core competitors” Denny said.

With the no-expense spared philosophy Denny teamed up with his son Creed Kidder. Creed has been working with Denny producing water skis most of his adult life.

With that experience Creed is the D3 operations manager and runs the day to day business at the plant in Ellensburg. Denny also recruited Paul Crawford who had represented (and competed on) Kidder Products since 1992. A former National Over-all Champion, Paul and his wife Kari now handle the sales, R&D and marketing side of the D3 operation. With this small team assembled, a very small 3,200 square foot manufacturing facility was acquired. D3 produced its first ski in early 2002.

By 2009 the facility has grown to almost 10,000 square feet but the initial mission statement has remained intact. Produce, without compromise the finest three event water ski products in the world. D3 is the only

R.U. ORGANIZZIZED??

After… This is more like it!! Ahhh, what a relief!

Throw away (or donate) all the junk never used.

JUST DO IT. Statistics show that 80% of what we keep we never use.

(NAPO.org) Then organize the remaining 20% into a handy

We’ve all heard the benefits of being organized enough that the concept is not foreign and that we have implemented one or more techniques.

Here are some not so obvious benefits and statistics: # 1 — A relaxed work environment Studies indicate that even thinking about a cluttered area can make a person more anxious and stressed and stress is a roadblock to efficiency. Not to mention it raises your cortisol levels but that’s a “whole nother topic altogether!” # 2 — Accomplish more in less time Being disorganized is a distraction and takes you away from achieving your goals. Statistics show that an average office employee spends 1.5 hours/day looking for things (organizedworld.com). Wouldn’t it feel great to accomplish more tasks with less effort by eliminating time-consuming searching??? # 3 — Leverage your ability to succeed Getting organized results in a more streamlined, efficient work process, professional and easier work environment and better performance. So if you want to perform better in the eyes of your boss, your customers or yourself, commit to getting organized. # 4 – Creates more time for yourself.

People surveyed (Ikea.com) said, on average they spend 6 minutes looking for keys in the morning. So, having a place for everything and putting everything in its place means spending less time frantically looking for something, resulting in more time for family, friends, or even just yourself. # 5 — Love to share the environment you live in.

We spend at least 1/3 of our lives at work. If you are ashamed of people stopping by your office, then it’s time for a good declutter and re-org.

You’ll feel better! Don’t let your manager see this!! Don’t look Rolf!!
