Hey Taz and Mike, hope your nights are going well...
Peppy... isn't curveball sweet!? If you drag the paddle across the ball when you hit it, you can get a "super curve bonus"
. Lol... it really makes the ball spin like mad.
And Table Tennis rocks, too... I've beaten all three of the guys... Forrest Gump, too.
Anyway... I really need to get some sleep now. Have a nice night, all.

Actually, tonight was a suprise. Was off, now its another 72 hour week. Its loads of O.T. 30 more days....and Its a week vacation headin to Ohio. I'll need it before I start the old job back. I've heard enough talk to have a idea whats in store for me.
I heard tonight I am no longer the last stage in the new peoples training. They would learn the system, if they could. Then they came to me to learn a little attitude, finese, and skill.
The suits feel I have begun to show signs of 'short timers syndrome'. Therefore I may not be putting my heart into it. Damn Right.
Today I walked in to a memo stating everyone in the company must attend one of two meetings...seems the Director has something to say. Being that we've never had one of these......I do wonder whats up.
Playing with the tig welder. Like to see a pic.
I played with the arc welder yesterday....needed to patch up a weld on my step bars bracket. D/c'd the + cable, not the - cable. Then went and bought a new battery.
They said the battery was full....but only 100 out of 750 amps. Whoops.

Honestly....I have no idea. I havent had two days off in a row since early September. But I keep tryin.
Actually...I noticed things kinda slowed down around here for a week or so. People stopping by and all, no big discussions goin on.
I know between my full-time (and a half), my part time job, and the count down of marital seperation......I'm about mentally toast.
Honestly...I think If I didnt keep myself so drained.....I'd have time to wig out over my moving. That wouldnt help. I figure theres plenty of time for that when I get up north.
Damn I'm long winded tonight. Things are good actually. Hows things up there in the Iowa truckin world?
No more soy milk........I couldnt get a job in film.....so I gave it up.

I hope I don't mess up any ongoing conversation, but...
I sold the house (FSBO was easy and profitable) and have everything set to head back to the Green Machine in a week. Sunday morning will be bon voyage from this night job.

I had forgotten all about your goal for the film industry... Any change at all Its not the snow that would scare me...its the ice that makes me wonder how truckers make thru sometimes. can be scary stuff in a light car or pick up.
Damn Mike.....and here I sit rambling about my over worked self. No holidays off and only 2 vacation days. I used to get 5 days off a month.
Ranger Ed...lots of that stuff going on down here. Old farmers renting out old houses everywhere. Rarely do they sell though. Tooo much rent money coming in to just sell off.
