Checking in for the duration of my shift.

I am disappointed some of you fellers violated this thread by posting during the daylight hours. Shame on you. I was going to post something Friday morning but I respectfully waited till that night, plus if I had posted i would have been labeled a hypocrite by you all. Who else is on duty this morning?

Theo man I don't think this is the record. i saw something recently about the longest threads and we were I think fifth if that, I don't remeber exactly but I know the Powerstroke v. cummins thread was longer than us and may have been the leader at around 1500 or so. I guess we have a goal now.

Rick

Mitch,

I started a rumor that I am an internet cop. Maybe I am, maybe I am not, but only I know the real truth in the matter. There's no need to feel on the outsideof teh conversation, usually it's a different topic each night by a bunch of night shift workers, the topic is ususally everyone's .02's worth on a particular problem that one of us would seem to be having, or someone venting some steam, trying to meet other folks who are on shift and on FTE or those of us who do anything to stay awake. You name it and that's why we are here.

That's a big 10-4 Mike. I thought I was all alone for the morning. Even though I took Thursday morning shift off it's still been a rough weekend, I am glad I'm back at work.

Ryan, I just saw your UK avatar. Where exactly is the school for teh Hilltoppers located in Western Kentucky. I went to school at SIU in Carbondale, IL, I now work here and have grown up nearby all my life and we just stomped Western Kentucky in football last night. It's the first game of the year that I have been able to attend.

Find a pic on the net or take one if you have a camera. You go to your user preferences and select avatar. You can then upload it.

There is a size limit. IrFanview is a free program that is great for resizing images.

Good morning Taz, it is about that time. You show up and I fade into the woodwork.
