There is a junkyard in Deerfield. Nagys is the name I think. Only place in Michigan with the radius arms I need and I was wondering if anyone could get them and meet me half way. I'll just have to not be lazy and make the drive myself.

Soooo, is it something you want to do? I have been sent in several trips lately, I like that it breaks up the job a bit, but can't stand being away from the family.

Being away from home so much is the issue. It does not do wonders for me and the wife.

I get it, believe me, I get the rolling eyes when they call in the middle of the night. Last night they called at 9:15, I got home around 5 am. Then they started calling at 8:30am. I got three hours, then set up the pool, but the wife is not happy at all with my company, which as you know, can make a job even worse.

For sure, I am on call 24x7x365 as well. My wife hates my phone. Not to mention being under-payed and overworked just like the rest of us.

I hear you guys about being away from home. This is the 5th week now where I'm gone Monday through Thursday. I don't understand how someone could live this way.

I used to make a living traveling, there's no doubt I made a killing. I don't miss it but... I sure do miss those paychecks!!! The guys were a blast too, damn good group of guys!
