well everyone i got laid off today so im trying my hand at this OT nonsense
no worries its the best "lay off" possible
1.) i still have work whenever it snows
2.) i have a return date of april 15, at the latest
4.) because i have a return date i dont have to watch vids or look for work
5.) i get about 3/4 of my normal pay a week
5.) i get to bank my hours ... take a 40 hr check or trade hours for parts

Sorry to stop in without being part of the conversation, but I know this started as a 7.3 thing so wanted to get some input from at least the 7.3 guys & gals, and preferably as many as possible.

Unfortunately it's not anything pleasant, but we've lost another FTE member https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...ml#post8326292

Jeff's wife Julie has posted a thread and I thought it would be good for her to read as many well wishes as possible. Support from family and friends is the best anyone can hope for in moments like this.

Kinda sounds like a really long vacation...

Edit...thanks for letting us know Chris. Very sad...entirely too young. My heart breaks for his family. Even though he went peacefully, not being able to say goodbye will not be easy for them.

Good morning everyone.

I'll be happy when winter goes away.

We're having a heat wave too Tom, only -6F currently. A lot better than -20F to -25F that we've had since Saturday.
