GraveYard Shift BS

After tonight... One more night and I'm on a week vacation!!!

 

Doing anything fun for a week?

 

Oh yeah, it is something different every day! I get to help straighten out the many problems we run into as I am the construction manager's "right hand." We also don't have a timekeeper on nights, so I get to help out with all that stuff too.

It would be awesome to be an hour either way of a nice beach or the mountains. It's not a bad drive to the Gulf Coast in Mississippi or Alabama, but mountains are way out of any reasonable drive from my neck of the woods.

 

whats up guys.

So me and a buddy want to start and build a sand rail. i think i can get frame materials and everything. Im wondering what would be the best engine setup?

Prolly would be a 2 seater rail, just for fun.

 

Nah... My bros coming in from CO, he's headed out to Iraq again. He wants to take his kids to Disneyland and other places before he heads out. We're going to Burro Canyon shooting park to let out some stress though.

 

So how did you end up doing this type of work? Did you go to school 4 it or learn from family?
Aslo not to familiar with the east much other than being in Pennsylvania for a week during a welding conference. You have a lot of swamps I take it. and a lot of Horizon

 

Disneyland was good the GF and her boy and I went there at Xmas. It wasa blast. Made it in 2 days which was enough for all of us.

 

Check this site out. They have one hell of a buggy but the motor is a common Chevy one and the article says they are very common and easy to work on. Also a lot of parts for them.

sweet. We were actually wanting to do a small car but this may be more fun. Just to screw around with and take to the dunes.

 

Dirt wheels MAgazine did a full article on it and said it rips ass. Way better than a UTV with a lot of extras. They also showed it with sand paddles which was awesome.

 

Oh, we have swamps out the ass! And some beautiful sunsets over Lake Pontchatrain, or Lake Maurepas, depending on where your boat/camp is.

I actually have a BS in Kinesiology. I was a teacher for 3 years and hated it. I lucked into this job just by knowing somebody in the quality control department here and him being able to get me on. My boss noticed my work ethic and computer skills, got attached, and now he's planning on keeping me on jobs with him as long as he's working.

 

Damn, just realized you NorCal was for Northern California not North Carolina. My bad!

 

My little sister is a teacher in LA,Ca and she hates it as well. She wants to move up to Oregon by my parents with her husband. He is starting his own brewery up there soon. So hopefully when he gets it going I can work with him buiding the brewery equipment and bottling. Should be fun.

 

Ya a little further West.HAHAHA

 

Mmmm, a brewery. I like the sound of that! Building and running one of those seems like it would be pretty cool. Good luck getting into it!

 

Yeah... oh well! It's almost 5 am here, if that's the only thing I screw up, I'll be in great shape!

 

YA I work in a winery right now and what a clean environment and good benefits. He is going thru right now and getting his masters in Brewing or something in that effect. Then he has to get a license to start his own business. He has about 6 months left then they are working at moving out of Los Angeles. I dont know much about brewing beer just drinking it.

 

Its 2:47 here. HAve a good morning Im outta here. gotta get up at 9am.

 

got off an hour ago...gotta love my 4 hour shift....

 

He's probably studying chemical engineering.. I am pretty sure that's what people that brew beer study.

I'm packing up now. Paid until 6, but can clock out at 5:30. Later!
