I'm here now and agin. just don't have anything good to talk about. Except I've been out riding my bike, averaging about 5 miles a day. Not bad for not having been on a bike in like 20 years.

Will do there Tcbofade, just counting the days. Looking forward to getting in some serious wrench time on the rigs, and just be home for a while.

Glad to hear that you made the flights allright, you'll be home soon. I start back to work this morning, going to work a regular 40 hour week, 11am to 8pm to ween into it instead of my 3 12's. I still have my doubts, have actually been job hunting on the net getting some ideas.
I've been doing heavy truck alignments for the same company for nearly 10 years, and turning a wrench for years before that. Dr's said it's just finally caught up with me.
