I am ready for the cold to be over. Looked at the truck found it low on coolant. Topped it off drove it for about 15 minutes every thing was fine. Trans temps were shift was normal. Have not driving it any long distance yet.

I could handle that, anything is better than being at work.
I hope it's not going to be like Disney World. It took forever to come and then in the blink of an eye it was over. One thing is this will be a lot more relaxing than walking the parks, I will probibly have to run after little man the whole trip. Little mans talking and understanding has really picked up the last few weeks.

I'm ready for warm and dry.
The bolts in this truck just do not want to go in easy today, messed with one for over 30 minutes before I got it to go in. The parts delivery guy is super slow, going to be a struggle to keep ahead on time.

My boss came out to my bay at 3 and said I had to go to the front office to interview for the Safety Supervisor job. I was covered in dirt and grime and had not shaved since Monday. All in all I think the interview went pretty well. He said they want to fill the position by the end of the month.

A cold and windy Monday, I will know by the end of the week if I got the job. Not sweating it either way. On the good side it's a raise, salary pay and I can take my tool box home. Bad side is I would be on call if there was an accident somewhere. I would miss my buddies in the shop but not miss getting dirty!

I got a ton of stuff done on Saturday around the house.I completely serviced the generator on the motorhome, fixed the broken exhaust pipe hangers on the generator. I lubed the steering on the motorhome, and I mowed some grass. I got all the limbs and stuff from the storm the other night cleaned up around the property. I didn't do much yesterday but take care of little man, wife wasn't feeling good so she slept in and we had lots of daddy son time. We even took a nap in the recliner together.

It going to be cool down here. So if you become the safety man will you stay at that location? You would have to refrain from calling the snowflakes dumb sh*** when they do stupid stuff like drive a machine into the wash rack

The main office is Austell, it is right next to my boss's office. I would have to visit all the stores every year but not always on the road. Working outside today and the wind just cuts thru you.

Company truck only when if I go to another store, that's if I get the job.
Looks like the weekend forecast is looking pretty good for now. Sunny, warm and NO RAIN!!
