I am back in Ventura for today. Then its off to North Hollywood for 4 days of orientation. I plan on staying there for the 4 days, but we will see what happens.

I will be working a nice schedule 4 days on, 3 days off, then reversed 3 on 4 off. Not sure what kind of shifts I will be getting yet. They have 8, 10 and 12 hours shifts; that is pretty standard. The most common shift is the 12 hour, which is what I would prefer.

I'd have to agree

Might have to start wearing shoes if this keeps up.

Unless things are delayed for a day, we're leaving for two days in Yosemite tomorrow morning.

"Maybe snow" is predicted. So much for it being "fall"!

Propane bottles are both topped-off, and I have battery power to spare.

Probably back Wednesday afternoon.

With photos.

Have a great time Pop, we do like our photos!

Agree, it was a fantastic day, spent it in Carpineria.

Sounds like a full week Trey.

Flip flops all winter Steve!
Pismo would be perfect now, not too many folks.

Good job Trey, only 10,000 more day's to go.

Borrowed the wife's civic today (or rather she borrowed the 'scurge).

I contort my frame into the little car at the end of a long day and the little stinker wouldn't start.

2 hours later it's at the shop waiting for a diagnosis manana - wouldn't jump either. Guessin' it's starter time - we'll see.

Gee, I sure hope I have more time than that!
I love everything about my job so far. The people, the company, the opportunity, training. Everything is right in line.

Lol, she was happy as a clam it happened to me instead of her.

Did a quick drop off (round trip) at LAX this AM. A lucky trip, no traffic or impatient crazies.

Bummer

We've had very little rain here....just enough to show the dirt on the truck.
