Good morning Brendan, Steve and Pat and everyone else.
Sure, rub it in Steve, high of 45(if we're lucky) and cloudy today. Actually, that's the forcast for the next 7 days, with some rain/snow showers thrown in for fun.

actually, i am now working for a construction company. we do all phases of heavy construction. bridge replacements, new bridges, site reconstruction, but our specialty is roadway reconstruction.
and yes, i own my own company, TJC Transportation Services.
i did heavy equipment escort, snow removal and light trucking, till the bottom dropped out of the trucking market, when sold most of the trucks.
i now keep 4 trucks for snow plowing, and once in a while i will do an escort.
back in the 80's and early 90's, i was getting $75/hr per escort vehicle.
now it is hard to get $25/hr.
i am making more than that driving for someone else, and have no overhead.
the hardest part was letting my employees go. i has 12 people working for me in 94 when the bottom fell out of the market, and most of them were with me for over 12 years.

I had both done when I was a kid. But I had my right eye done in July. I had to keep it dialated for about 2 weeks with some drops the eye doc gave me. Talk about driving a guy bonkers. I couldn't see shyte to do my job, cars down the road looked fuzzy until they got closer, and the drops left a bad taste in my mouth from leaking through my tear ducts.
lol, I needed that chuckle this morning...
lol, she knows how to find me if she wants to...
I should put it in my sig line as a reminder, if she ever does come back here...lolHey buddy, hows the weather up there? It's got to be snowing a bit already I would think....
