I'm off until Monday. I work 12 hour shifts at my new job, which is less hours than I would have put in at my last job. I work 2 days on, 3 days off, and every other weekend. I don't know what to do with time off.. it's insane...

So, you're complaining that you have too much time off, is that what I'm hearing???


They have talked about us going back on 4-10's. I LOVE that schedule!

I love having time off, especially days off during the week! It feels so weird having time off this time of year when the weather is nice. We had some beautiful rain early this morning, and it appears there is more on the way, according to radar. I couldn't be happier right now Just hanging out in my living room, looking at 2 boxes of truck parts from rockauto. I found a busted coil spring last week in my '99. Going to get that fixed some time this weekend. Thinking about just taking today off and relaxing a bit.

Yeah, we need the rain. I'm hoping to get the brakes done on Black this weekend, new calipers, pads, and at least one rotor. Ordered all of that from Advance, since I had a 25% off coupon.

I normally try to support the o'reilly's in Beatrice, but it's hard to do when they cost twice as much for the same parts from rockauto. Plus, when they take your personal cell phone number and say they will call you back with prices for a list of parts, and then never call, it kinda burns my butt..

I've used Rock Auto for stuff also. But, the shipping on this would have killed me, it was free shipping from Advance for this. One box weighed 68 pounds, the other 48.

Sounds like someone got some much needed parts for Black. About darn time....

After that's done, I'll be ordering the steering box, and new fan clutch. Those are going to be a tad more challenging. The steering box really needs it, getting a lot of slop in the steering.
