Well, I haven't needed that much done. Nice to know they'll hook me up if I do, though! We've got an awesome machine shop here at the plant.

Be careful what your order from LMC. I've had a lot of problems with parts from them, and so have a lot of other guys. I'll go to them if no one else has the parts. I can hook you up with some other suppliers, if you like!
That would be awesome. Who else do you got.

When fall comes, and I have to drive home in the dark and rain, with the glare of on-coming headlights, something is gonna have to give.
I almost put the truck in the ditch 2 times last fall because of these new headlights on new cars, my eyes just cannot come back after the glare off the wet highway at night.

I just about pop a gasket when people brag about their HID headlights.

It sucks getting old, maybe I just CANT drive at night anymore?

I won't be working this shift come winter..........whether they like it or not.

To keep nightshift in line, and before the night guy comes in.

I had to work a shift similar to that at the Police Dept. for a while. 1200 to 2000. It sucked big time! Then when we started the DUII / MIP enforcement team, the big guy wanted me to work a 2000 to 0400 shift, just long enough to get the Team "up and running" with proper guidelines and supervision. I'd be on that shift no more than a month. After I had it up and running, my #2 guy would take over on a permanent basis and I would come back to day shift. 18 months later.....................................
