Yeah, we'll see. Not liking the industry conference idea - I'll probably want to punch a few folks in the mouth by mid-day Thursday.

Pat - there's a gathering of OBS truck guys going on down there, put on by one of the performance shops. I've done business with the shop and know a few of the guys going down. Would have been a fun weekend and something different, but now I get to go to this industry conference thing for work. And it's traveling with 3 people I can't stand....lol.

That sounds like a whole lotta no fun Bill. But either one of your trucks can start a show wherever they go!
I'm in the final, and busiest semester of my degree program now. So I'm afraid it's all work and no play for the Rebel until the end of the year.
Not to mention my boss is really being a total PITA lately! I've been working for him for 6 years. Doesn't he know by now not to push me too far? Lol

That stinks. OBS gathering sounds like fun. Mines not running very well, need to find time to work on it

Morning folks and happy Friday - and 3 day weekend for me at least. Going to need it, for sure.

Rebel - thanks for the vote of confidence but the OBS needs a lot of love and attention to get to that level lol...

Jim - yeah it was going to be a good time. Drag racing involved at a local strip and everything. But, instead I'll be shaking hands and kissing babies at an industry event in Hershey. That's a scary thought.

Good morning PA, welcome to Friday. I really wish I could take today off, it's like a funeral here at the plant. Bill, that sucks you have to miss that, sounds like a blast!

Morning Pat. I saw the news article you posted on it - I can't imagine the feeling right now. Ug.

Yeah, it's not gonna be my idea of a good time to go to that industry event, but I guess it's about the role they're grooming me for and all that.

Kinda seems that way. Not that I want to be one. I'm happy having "enough" authority to make stuff happen yet not being a full blown executive. I don't like the stress level involved...lol.

Hopefully they don't do like they do here. I think they lobotomize our managers upon promotion.

That is one thing I see in management - not much thinking going on. That's why I don't want to be there. I've been getting a lot of respect from people for being the "common sense thinker" of the office...
