GraveYard Shift BS

Hey Joe ... That's why I wanted to bring it up, for awareness sake. As shift workers it's a safe bet we've ALL BEEN THERE.

Enjoy your break man.

 

If I'm ever REALLY tired at the end of shift I'll grab a couple sips of Coffee and/or a hot chocolate for the road. Only a 15 minute drive for me, but dark roads and not paying attention could put me in a bad spot.

 

Fun times today. its been raining all day, so everything is wet, and were all wearing wet rain gear. The 220v 200Amp ground power cord decided to arc weld itself to the Jetbridge while people were deplaning. so that was fun. NOT

 

Howdy night shift Peeps!

KO checking in.

I feel great! had the 3 day weekend to recharge. It's only a bit after 2 am here, but I think the rest of the night will be cake.

 

Some mornings I would get home and couldn't remember the drive.

I was helping a recruiter, dropped a guy off at MEPS. Fell asleep on the way back almost wrecked the state owned Renault (one less of those on the road wouldn't be bad).

Making mistakes that make me say "damn that was dumb".
All these things could be attributed to sleep deprivation. Dangerous and unhealthy!
Stay safe.

P.S. Don't forget memory problems.

 

That would suck for me. Got home at 8:00am, in bed by 9:00am. No way would I be able to get back by 1:00 and function safely.

 

I'm in probably the slowest position today. It's gonna be a long shift

 

Anyone working tonight? Been snowing all day here, weather station says 6-8 inches in the valley, making a total on ground roughly 2 feet. Was a fun drive to work to say the least. Counted 6 slide offs and people are getting stuck on side streets/neighborhoods since they haven't had time to plow them yet. Tacoma in 4high in 2nd gear worked wonders

 

Well thankfully I'm ff tonight so I should get some normal sleep.

Unfortunately I'm borrowing my mother's garage to plastidip and other mods all day. Now it's late in the night and she's complaining of the smell.....and I still have 3 coats left, haha. Oh well. Doesn't bother me.

 

Checking in from the middle of Michigan.

Actually about exactly 20 miles east of the geographical center of Michigan. Bonus point if any can figure out what town I refer too.

 

Working hard or hardly working here in Western NC, praying for snow to play in this weekend!

Unfortunately for me if I saw all that on my way in to work I know I'd be in for a long night. 911 Dispatcher here.... just waiting for 530am

 

Yea local law enforcement is encouraging drivers to stay off the roads until everything's plowed. Can't remember how many slide offs/crashes have been reported.
Haha the smell that bad? Can't smell anything lately..too damn cold. Supposed to dip below 0 the next few nights.
Sides of my driveway are a little over 5ft high in snow now..getting ridiculous.

 

From what I remember when I plastidipped some wheels a few years ago, it was a pretty strong scent, I can only imagine if you're doing it in a closed garage. lol

 

It's only 34 here feels like low 20s though.

 

its 27 here in Murphy,NC now, I'm just praying the weather man is right this time with snow in forecast for the weekend. I'm ready to play! lol

 

That's what I'm saying! I'm ready to get my tires powdered. Well iced here

 

I feel ya lol I'm sure we won't get much, I'm just hoping its just enough!

 

On til 0700 here in chilly central Mass. rained yesterday and wind chill is 16 now so it all iced over. Slow night so far, knock on wood

 

What do you do to pay the tacoma mod bills Bill?

 

Snowy, starting to get a little windy again and another long boring 11 hours to go. Time to see how much money I can spend on truck parts tonight.
