3 Tax Accountants Walk Into a Bar...

Ok, so it wasn't a bar, it was a Fish & Chips Restaurant. But there were 3 tax accountants nonetheless. If you think dinner with us sounds like a blast, imagine the conversation during the four hour road trip. (...'so I told the guy, you can't put that on schedule D-1, it is only partially deductible! It needs to go on C-6! Can you believe he almost did that! We sure had a good laugh about that one.) Party!!

I had the opportunity to visit two Caterpillar facilities over the past couple days- Cat Skiningrove where we make the metal links/shoes used in tracks for many of our machines, and Cat Peterlee where we make articulated dump trucks that hold ~40 tons of material.

Peterlee was really neat because they take in raw steel plate, cut, bend, weld and assemble from scratch the steel frame . Of course they assemble the actual truck as well.

In between the two facility visits we nipped into Whitby (notice the use of an authentic English verb) for Fish & Chips at Trenchers- reportedly the best in the country. It was very good (although Linford's is a whole lot closer).

Here are a few photos from Whitby. No dracula sightings.
