I insured my Bronco on Monday. The extra shift will cover that.

You interested in going full time. Would it be 8 hr days or shorter ones.

That will give you some extra cash in the old wallet.

Yes sir. It is still fun to drive. It pooped a frost plug over the winter. Thought I had a good antifreeze mixture, I guess not. Glad it only pooped out the plug and no other damage. Put a new one in on Monday. It's all good now.

I normally work Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 12 hour shifts with Sunday paid at time and a half. 42 hours pay for 36 hours work. I hate working ot but thought a little extra might help.

Thanks for the visit Randy.

No problem Chris, do you work during the week as well or just the weekend? I work shift work so I work all hours of the day/night and any day of the week. I'm still young and don't have kids so I actually enjoy the over time, it pays for my toys

I work only weekends. All night shift, 3pm to 3:30 am. It's nice because there is no swing shift. Same thing week in week out. I worked a lot of overtime when I was in Alberta and basically got sick of it. Working weekends gives me more camping days during the summer. We like to get out for at least 3 days every other week.

That's good that it works out so well for you, I'm sure in a few years I'll start hating the over time but in the almost 5 years I've been at my job, I still don't hate it yet. I'm hoping to get out this summer and go camping but we'll see what my schedule looks like come summer time.

The extra money from the overtime is nice but........

The real draw back of weekends is that most good things happen on weekends. I like to hit the stock car races at least once a year. Have to take a day off to do that.

Okay. I may have found one in Washington. I'll let you know. If the snow melts though and you find a real good one, by all means let me know. Thanks.

Sure thing Jackson. At least that one you could probably pick up yourself.

What year is your Bronco? I've always like Bronco's and still kicking myself for not buying a beautiful 78 Bronco a few years back when I had the chance...
