    I keep then relegated to the rear driver's quarter window. Except for my recycled dino sticker, and my Spartan Ultra and Trifecta Stickers on my back window.

    The last 2 weeks have been in at 6:15AM and leave the office at 5:00 and then been hopping back online from home for a couple hours. It's been brutal and will end today, hopefully.

    Yeah...
    Longer during the summer, it feels like. Sucks during the winter, too, though, since it's dark when I get here and dark when I leave.

    The shift is technically 7:30-5:15, but I show up at 7 because most mornings I've got 200+ emails to sort through before the phones turn on at 7:30, and trying to sort through them & reply/call back during the initial morning rush is like trying to wade upstream at Iguazu Falls

    Damn I would have to tranquilize myself to sleep at like 8pm to be able to wake up for that.

    Not me, I'd love to be able to work the same shift as our warehouse guys. Most of them show up at 4:30 and get to leave around 2-3 in the afternoon.

    I saw a purple FJ with ARB bumper at the 4-way intersection and had wondered if that would be you or not.

    I start at 6am and leave at 4:30pm. Thankfully it's like a 7 minute drive to get home. Winter really sucks though. Right now is the season of sun glasses at 5:45am and when I get out

    I think all the newer 4.0 do. It's such a pita to change. I've only done it twice in ~100k miles on the soccer mom mobile. Getting that damn skid off is such a pain with those stupid little curved retainer clip things. Plus those stupid pop clips.

    For all that trouble I'll pay the dealer $60 to do it.

    Do the current T4Rs have the 4.0 still?

    "officially", I think my contract says 7:30 - 4:00. I usually show up before 7 and leave by 3:30. Summer I have so much to do that it tends to be 7:30 until I get done what I wanted to for the day. Sometimes 3, sometimes 8.

    hm. I wonder if the next generation will get the 3.5... I think the consensus is the 4.0 is a better motor.

    Is that the 815 Cocktails and Provisions? That place made me the best Manhattan I have ever had. Yes, expensive but incredible. The drinks are works of art.

    I just recently started drinking Manhattans. Definitely matters who makes them

    No! But The 815 is fantastic also, haven't been in a while though. I'm talking about The Birch on Elm.
    The 815 is cool cause they take the "speakeasy" thing seriously enough to be fun but not restrictive.
