Hey Slingers (and those who want to be),

This is one of my favorite times of the year. Why? Because I have time to do all the stuff that I’ve been putting off all year.

Let me tell you a story about two lumber jacks who were in a tree cutting contest. When the starting whistle blew, the first lumberjack went all out and just sawed, sawed, sawed, sawed, non-stop. Sweat was pouring down his face. His muscles ached. He felt like his heart was going to burst.

The second lumberjack sawed then sat down for a while, sawed some more and then stopped for a while, sawed some more… and… WON!

The first lumberjack asked him what he was doing during his breaks. The second lumberjack answered, “I was sharpening my saw.”

Now is the time to sharpen your saw slingers! Time to replace that broken tail light lens (backed into the garage door frame? Yeah, I’ve done that too, lol).

Time to repack your wheel bearings, give the cart a good cleaning, and maybe do some modifications.

You could add a side shelf, install an extra umbrella mount, or put in a dual propane tank mount. How about getting your pans in order and reconfiguring your steam table.

should take the time to re-watch Dales awesome videos on advanced steam pan set ups here: http://hotdogprofitspremium.com/hot-dog-cart-training-videos/a-day-at-the-hot-dog-cart-part-7-cart-configuration/

So let me know what you’re doing to sharpen your saw. Are you building a new cart? Modifying the cart you have? Let’s talk about it in the comments and share our ideas with each other.
