    Nothing wrong with extension cords.
    You staple the wring along the route anyway.
    So the only difference is you have a box at the end..

    I look at it this way: 1. it's something for me to do and keeps me out of the recliner stewing over work; 2. It'll be one less thing that the home inspector finds when I decide to sell.

    :pccoffee: Good morning. 21 this morning warmest been in awhile at wake up. 15 day shows up in the 20's pretty much everyday. And now still no 50 or higher. Bastards.

    Even with the afterburners turned up sitting in front of the jet blast deflectors. Every once in awhile I was able to get out of the pit and I'd go up to vultures row and watch the greatest show on earth. Once my eyes adjusted to that strange thing called the sun :fistbump:

    Whew for a minute there thought you were headed to the Orange Blossom Trail then realized your wife was going too. Not that I have ever been on the OBT myself :anonymous: And if I had the last time was sometime last century I'm sure it has cleaned up a lot by now.

    Have fun at the festival!

    I have to check antenna cabling in attic. At least it’s spray foamed and not that hot. I miss local news in am. But it’s usually the same old same old.

    It's a balmy 20* here. At least the wind crapped out.
    Still up in the air with Nor'easter#4.
    Euro model is showing a near miss. Hope it stays that way.

    Have to make another run to Newtown to pick up the ships clock that was already fixed.
    Bell wouldn't ring when it was put into housing. Clock guy did some file work and relieved it a bit, so now it works.
    Good morning to run the F'n'J up there as I haven't driven it in a while.

    When my wife and daughter did that and came back with the price list I said no effing way am I paying that for a dress you're only going to wear once and probably end up puking in! I got the "I don't drink look", stormed off to her room, came out about a hour later with ideas for her dress:eek: Cost a fraction what it could have and it turned out great and was truely one of a kind (what all the girls want)! And no she didn't puke in it! Everyone happy:D

    Happy St.Patrick's Day :broccoli:

    Yesterday at work we had a meeting with the Union leaders. Well, we have been under new contract now for less than a month and there's problems. We have this new paid personal time. Only need to give 1 hour notice. Well over in main plant some people have been taking off at the same time, causing assembly lines to go down. Then these people are bragging about it on social media. The Union is pissed off. This is being considered a work stoppage. They told us they will not help anyone who gets fired for this. There are no guide lines as how many people can have off at one time.

    Wach in local news, first story is about St.Patrick's day and that law inforcement will be out looking for drunk drivers

    People always push the envelope.
    I wanted to take a few days off. Gave them a 2 weeks notice. Actually 2 1/2. Nope not enough time frame. So this one hour thing Is unbelievable to me

    Yeah with us it’s give notice-an hour for an hour, day for a day and a week for a week. Done like that it’s considered scheduled time . If You need to leave with no notice, it then falls under unscheduled time and can affect you at your performance review unless its FEMLA.

    The whole idea with this was that if
    Your kid gets sick
    You have Dr. app.
    Just something where you need an hour or two.
    I was surprised that we got this.
    They gave us an inch and some took a mile.

    Love it when Big wigs come in and say your production is low.
    So?
    Just trying to keep up with everybody else.

    Skipped 12 some odd pages. How’s Andy?

    Time with both sons and grandkids is awesome and totally priceless.

    Just the weekend left ... gotta make the most of it. :)

    What bigger model are you considering?

    I’m gonna hit buy, or rather have Kristi hit buy, on the Excalibur any day now...unless I find something better...

    I’m trying to decide which jerky gun to get ...

    I want to start big/quality ... not slowly work up to it ... if that makes sense? :notsure:

    Nothing about your terms of employment makes much sense to me ... it seems to me you guys (the technicians) get the short raw end of every deal. :(
