Hi peppy, I am slowly starting to come to the conclusion that working nights may not really be good for us.

Its not....aint no way. Now its worse.....I'm down to 1 tiny Nestle Crunch and 1 Resses Cup. Now I'm gonna be forced to double my coffee intake.
A bag of tiny candy bars, and a pot of coffee.......and no Tums or Rolaids.
Best part......not my candy....
mmmmm....now that I read it.....it doesnt appear to be so funny, but I'm still rollin. Maybe cause its the boss' candy, and she wont be back till Monday.

Hi Mike W,

We're looking good...moving into fall/winter where demand is less and more hydro electric available. Good idea with the generator though, black outs, winter storms etc. I'm working on getting a natural gas fired gen for my home. I live in the mountains where the snow and storms can wreek havoc.

I work 12-15 hour days too......but I couldnt get up at 0400. Did that amost decade ago. I might be able to do it now......but I sure wouldnt want it. I'd rather just work nights. I swing back and forth between 2000-0800ish and 0800-2000ish. Thats enough for me.

I kind of like it. It was hard to get used to at first but I'm home everynight and get most of my city driving done before the bluehairs and the suits get on the road..


Who is worse blue hairs or suits? My vote goes for the suits
