Yep Definitely Monday. I still think I'd be happier working 3 - 13.5hr days or 4 -10's, Just seems that 2 day weekends are over with so fast. You work all day Saturday and half the day on Sundays, then it's time to go back to the 5 day grind....I'm telling ya, I'm TIRED!!!! LOLOL

Good Tuesday morning Illinois, Sean, Mike, Morris, John and all the crew. It looks like a nice day in my woods in the high 70's but storms in the evening.

Mike, I must say that four 10's is a pretty nice work week and the three day weekends still fly by!

Yeah Rod I know. I watch my son complain about the 4 10's all the time and he doesn't want to go to work either...LOL
I'm just always tired and wore out anymore. Even taking vitamins doesn't seem to improve, and every time I turn around I'm always pulling a muscle. Heck I walked out to my car this morning and just reaching into my pocket for the key I pulled a shoulder muscle, I mean WTF!!!??.If this is considered the golden years, you can keep them...LOL

Good Morning to everyone, It's a gray gloomy day here, I think our high is only about 58 and it's been raining off and on all night long. Would have been a good day to stay home wrapped in a blanket and drink hot chocolate.....LOL

Happy Hump day Illinois, Sean, Mike, Morris, John and all the crew.

Mike, I really have no complaints about the four 10's. If the company would decide to go back to 8 hour shifts, I would re-retire!

Rainy day in my woods according to the Soothsayers and yes, it is raining now!

Good Morning, Rod, John, Morris, Sean and all the rest in the audience LOL....I don't know Rod, I used to work 15 -18hrs a day when I was doing concrete, but I was a young man and it never bothered me then...LOL Anymore I have a rough time making it 8hrs. Monday I left at 11:15 so that was 5.5hrs, Yesterday I left at 12:15 that was 6.5hrs. both days I was so wore out I took about an hour nap when I got home. See if I can make it the 8hrs today....LOL Geez, I'm still 3 months away from hitting 62, what's gonna happen between now and 65??

Suppose to be sunny and 70 here today so when I get home I'll get on the lawn. The rest of the week is suppose to be cloudy and rain off and on.

ThongTastic Thursday Illinois, Sean, Mike, Morris, John and all the crew. it looks to be a nice day in my woods near 80° and partly sunny.

Mike, I make the 10 hours but many a day I really could use a nap in there somewhere. It seem that after I turned 65 it started getting harder to actually get out of bed and get motivated!

Good morning everyone, We have a hi of 73 and 60% chance of rain. Rod, I think that's my problem here. I've been with the same company 24.5 years. I'm bored. Business is down, no longer a thriving company, so not a lot of repairs, slow cliental, means I have have very little job cost estimating to do. Just like this morning, I got here at 5:45am, it's now 7:10am and I haven't done a thing except read news articles and my emails. I think I need to start looking for other employment, if for nothing else at least to have something to do to keep me busy. Wife said I needed a new hobby so I found a nice place in Arkansas, 834ac with 3 homes on it and some huge garages and barns. All for the low asking price of $1.9 mill, I told I thought I could keep busy there. She didn't not think I was amusing.

Now here's some nice property That's got a decent price on it. Would just have to check the property taxes and the mineral rights before making a decision. But the wife probably won't go for this either.

Fantastic Friday morning Illinois, Summer School Sean, Mike, John, Morris and all the crew.
Looks to be a wet weekend in my woods but still in the high 70's. Better then frozen and white!

It is the Weekend Eve and almost time to start the Party!
