    I work in a data center.. "monitoring" systems for a large financial company. Now is a freeze period, where no one is allowed to change things. So its been dead for me, from around Thanksgiving to the middle of January.

    I cant imagine a flip flop schedule like that. Mine is kind of weird, but its set, unless I volunteer for OT.
    week 1: Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - 8pm-8am
    week 2: Wednesday, Thurs - 8pm-8am

    I'm very used to my hours been doing this shift for the past two years. Down side of this shift it makes it tough for me to go wheeling with the guys because I sleep during the day. Not to mention I drive for a living so when I get out of work I don't want to see a steering wheel

    I understand the sleeping thing. I volunteered to go to night shift 2 years ago too. But I realize now that the shift differential isnt worth it for me. Id rather have some sort of a social life and a "normal" sleep schedule

    I usually see the @HolyHandGrenade @Subway4X4 and @stairgod at Rausch, when I can make it. I do want to try other places soon. But Im in VA. Rausch is about 2.5 hours from me. NJ is probably 4

    Too me I enjoy working nights a lot less traffic and I drive like I own my town. I also know all the cops too so they don't bother me.

    So I can't figure out to add the link to eBay for the tires I was looking at but 5 mt tires for 700$ hard to beat that price. They are some meaty fucks too

    theres some pretty good trails in the blue ridge mountains. The closest to me, is about an hour south and west. Check out George Washington National Forest. I think West Virginia has some nice stuff too, but its still a little bit of a drive for me

    I hate being that middle point in MD. Nothing good near me unless I'm ready to drive at least 2 1/2 hours

    I ran their old set when they used random sidewalls and they were a little heavy but lasted a while. I had a set of the 285s mtr style
