    Going to try and do a little put away odd things in the garage tomorrow. I had been staging towels and blankets for a pet shelter drive that were delivered today. This summer I did an extensive garage clean up, even went through my small parts containers and straightened them out.

    :anonymous: I'm still getting Kristi to sort the "keep and get rid of" from her garage sale stuff. I've sorted and stored all of my stuff that I can. I just know the snow is gonna catch me. Uuugh ... I'd do it myself, but the keep stack would be real short, and she knows it ... too cold to sleep in garage ALL WINTER. o_O

    Afternoon all:
    Hope you are serious about the job loss being kind of a blessing!
    Sorry to hear about the "down sizing" that effected you personally, but hope all turns out well with you back to "Piloting a Peterbilt", at least you have something to fall back on. STAY SAFE, and watch out for all those maniacs on the road! I'm sure you will be able to share some stories with us!!!!:rolleyes:

    It was a ble$$ing" in disguise, I have a habit of speaking my mind and management with layers gets "tight" ......Plus FT.Myers is still stagnant :rolleyes: A few larger dealers have put "new stores" on the back burner till it "ticks up"

    I am NOT going out on the road, just grabbing a "Local gig" and will be in my own bed every night :cool:

    :eek: Do I really want to see it? o_O

    Isn't that they way it always goes?? When I was in Alaska, we never saw mooses on base, except during moose season. And they'd walk down the middle of the street.

    Nope!! Corporate america sucks!! Lets bring in cheaper labor and make the current employees train them, then fire them or lets just close our factory (Oreo) and move it to Mexico for cheaper labor. My $20,000,000 pay isn't enough :rant: :annoyed:

    I threw them for a "Loop" when I mentioned my techs and how they treat them instead of trying to save myself and then further "bounced them" when I announced my "new ride" had been in play for 2 weeks. Sad when your shop foreman recognizes distress quicker than the management types :confused: .....

    I will get the last ZING when uniforms are returned, my PETERBILT hat will be worn as I walk back into a FTL dealership :boink: :thumbsup:

    And Mike you know I would NEVER provoke a situation :yay:
