OVERTIME IS OVER !!!!!

finished up my overtime today... I've been on 6 and 7- 12 hr days a week since January We actually started last September on 6 10s and ramped up to 7 12s later. thru the winter I saw the moon coming and going to work... just on different spots in the sky... I'm tired

other than the week off at Pigeon Forge last week, I think I"ve had 5 days off since we started...

now I got longer daylight and get home around 3:30 pm. I've alerted the body man to make some time in the evenings... We haven't touched the truck since June 26, 2013.

hopefully there will be some updated pics coming. she's been laying on her back toooooo long !


later
John

I know how it feels to work too much! I also know how good it is to get back your life. Good luck with your truck now that you have time.

John,
Whew. Those kind of work schedules can take it out of you. I haven't had to work schedules like that in a long time.

Good luck with truck progress
Bobby

The only thing worse than not having the money, is not having the time. Hopefully now you'll have a little more of both.

Great to hear John! Maybe we'll get to cruise together @ Cruisin' the Coast some day. I retired in April and thought I would have lots of time for whatever. Only thing I've learned is now I NEVER get a day off! Finishing up the new garage knocked me out of going to the Supernationals this year, but I'm already planning for next year. Hang in there Buddy and get that F-100 on the road. Later, Steve
