No I imagine she left town for the week, probably back now though that school is back in. I'l agree, Drew is a lightweight. Last week he was talking about being out drinking all night and having to get some sleep, I use to drink all night, go to work and then go out again that night. That summer after I graduated HS a friend of mine and I were doing stuff like that all the time, we worked together and often we'd ride to work together because we were still out at 0530 to be at work at 0600. We once both went 60 something hours without sleep. Drew is about the same age I was then, I guess he just can't hack it.

We have reached post #2401 and page 97, I hope Pep comes back around on here for 2500. I think we have set a new record for the longest thread. At the FTE national event they should recognize us for keeping FTE burning the midnight oil, and for the longest post. Maybe Mike will even come back and liven things up, I guess this is the legacy he left behind.
I guess at the FTE national event we could party all night to keep it all going, but we'd get paybacks when we try to sleep I'm sure.

me, a light weight? Nawwww. staying up all night and sleeping all day is the hard way to find a job. I was on a few days last week because my all my friends were in town and i wouldn't get home until really late. The nites i wasn't on here last week i had a low alcohol-blood level (not high blood alcohol level)

When i find another job i can go back to stayin up really late, but walking in for an interview half drunk and with red eyes doesn't really help.

Just kiddin with ya Drew. I went on an interview once when the guy was like you described, half cocked still and red eyed. He ask me if I drank muchand then ask why I wasn't in his condition, didn't sound like the type of guy I wanted to work for. I worked in a lumber yard where it was common to be hungover on weekends, in fact if you weren't it must have been a funeral or somethign the night before. It was actually a fun place to work.

What do you do Tex? Wher are you down there? I'm going on a quail hunt to either Sweetwarer, Midland or San Angelo areas, at least those are the closest towns to where we are going. Any of those in your neck of the woods?
