Good morning Nevada, happy Hump Day!

Donna, hope it dries up enough for you guys to work today!

Nope. I've always wanted one, though. With diesel being a dollar a gallon higher, I'm not even close to making that up in having a little better mileage. But, after going to the dealer last night, I'm probably going to keep her a while longer, they didn't offer me what I really think she's worth.

Happy Humpeth Day Nevada FTE and friends. Hope everyone survived the rain.

Donna, I would not want to get one of those 6 wheeled beasts stuck in the mud. I am sure it would be a real PITA to get out.

Morning everyone,

Thank God it's Thursday!
Although I went in, I didn't get to work yesterday. My foreman chewed me out for showing up in that type of crappy weather for work & clocking in. Then, I dropped my new phone & cracked the screen, so it doesnt work like it used too anymore.
Then 4 hrs later, my foreman calls me to tell me we have a meeting with the insurance company at noon & to come back. I still didnt get to work afterwards, so I came home AGAIN. Grr!... Two 25 mile(oneway) roundtrips. Atleast I got paid for the 2 hr. meeting.
Guess we'll see if & how long I work today.

I agree, if they don't want you to show up they should call you in advance. Especially if you live that far away from the job site.

Morning Jim. If they won't call, then they should guarantee at least two hours of pay, to make up for the gas wasted!

Morning Pat. I agree, gas isn't cheap.

Can't believe I have been up for 3 hours already. Woke up at 3:15am and could not get back to sleep. I guess there is one good thing about being out of work, I can sleep in if I ever do get back to sleep. LOL.

Morning guys and gals. I hope you all have a great day.

I am loving the new tires and wheels on the truck. It drives so much nicer.

Good deal Greg, glad it is finally getting to be a better truck. Did the minion help you put them on, or did she just supervise?

I put them on while she was in school. She did the funniest thing ever when I picked her up though.
We walk out of the school yard to the truck and she walks up and kicks the tire. She turns back to me and says, "they'll do" with a little smirk.

We laughed all the way back to the house.

Well, no work again today. Atleast today I got my 2 hr show up pay!
Yesterday, my foreman claims he told me that I wasnt supposed to come in unless he called me, but he didn't tell me THAT. He told me if tomorrows weather was as bad todays, dont bother coming in. However, it wasnt raining & there wasn't any ice/snow until I hit the road to the mine. Either way, he hadnt called & I came in ready to work regardless & he got all pissy yesterday & guilt tripped me into crossing out my 2 hr show for yesterday morning. Although I got a 2 hr show for coming back for the meeting.
So, thats how my day played out.

Well, getting paid for two hours is better than not getting paid at all I guess.
