Tires are getting pretty expensive these days, I put a coat of wax on the winter rims this morning and put the cover on them until they get changed over in the few months and then loaded the sandblasting pot with fresh abrasive media. That was enough sweating for today, sure is muggy and there is a lot of smoke in the air..

Good morning John, Ian and Rod..

Yes, I did start my extended shift last night.. got 4 more nights of it..I did get as much done as I wanted but the first night is always the worst.. I was basically closing by myself after 6 since I was the only one there.. So had to do all that before I could start counting..

Good morning Steve, back when I was in high school I used to get the chance to do inventory at the Massey- Ferguson warehouse, this was in the late 60's and they paid really good money for doing it..$14.85 / hr. Too bad it was only for a long weekend...lol

Where I work at now Steve, my only customer is the company I work for. We do all the repairs for the rental trucks. No front counter at all.
