I find that if I go out late to a few bars around here and have a few drinks and get loud its the best time to catch 'black eye'!!!

What do you do merc? I drive and hour each way to/from work.
As for my vacation time, It's pretty cool. Unfortunately it has to be taken in 12 hour days instead of 8 hour, 'cause I'm on shift. It eats it up pretty quick. Not complaining though. It's still pretty sweet. Mind you, getting vacation in the summer time is nearly impossible. So many guys there have a LOT more seniority than me. I usually take mine in June or September if I can.

It's called the Avonlea Reservior which is just a little lake 15 miles south of me. The next closest ones would be the Q' Applle lakes, but I don't get out there to often.

Ive pulled a few 18 hour days myself both in the patch, and back home farming. Longest so far was 20, and I hope I never have to do that again.
That was also after a 16 hour day the day before, and a short night o drinking haha.


Oh the "good" ol days.

Guess it depends if work or home. Work is usually 4:45 wake up or before and bed between 8:30-9:00 Such a party life here in Fort Mac. Home for the first couple of days is still about 5:00 or so and bed by 11:00 but as the week goes by it gets to be 7:00 or so.
