    So you are going to do the right thing and contact Scamazon, correct?
    Sodastream doesn't cut it here, we have gone industrial strength.

    Well, Jeff Bezos screwed my wife out of a pkg over the holidays, so I say we're even. :D
    He can afford it.

    I like that! That's nicer than the kegerator setup I use to have in my garage....when I still drank.

    The older I get the less I care what day of the week it is when I work vs. getting paid OT for anything over 40hrs.
    Being the only shift/operator on the web press, I can somewhat set my own time.
    M-F 6-2pm (no lunch, no breaks)
    or when I find a good place to stop.
    Sometimes I leave early, others I stay late.
    When we're busy I pretty much have an invitation to work as much as I want.
    (I don't like working alot).
    Overtime and Saturdays aren't mandatory.

    That sounds like a pretty sweet gig, I have to bid for my schedule every month and I fly where they tell me to based on seniority. Right now I'm junior so I get the left over schedules or sit on call all month

    Idk? Flying sounds pretty sweet.
    Worth doing on a Saturday.

    That's too much responsibility for me.
    I can't even ride a motorcycle. Idk why.
    Just can't.

    It can be a pretty fun job, it definitely beats when I was turning wrenches for a living. But I'm getting tired of being away from home for 4-5 days at a time. If things go how I want over the next year I'll hopefully be able to make the same money and work for myself and never have to travel for work

    Cool. Got my private license back in 1990. Flew bank run with my cfi from Reno to Vegas for about a year in an old Sennica III. Thought I wanted to fly commercial… ended up a teacher instead. Funny that one.

    I always thought it'd be cool to have a helicopter. Could fly around the state as the crow flies.
    Sometime in the early 2000, I somewhat looked into it....You could buy 2 person chopper build kits for like $20k.

    Edit: You need one!
    Could take T.W. Express to a whole new level.

    Very cool! I never got beyond Cessna singles. Had a ton of fun though. I’m thinking of seeing if I can still pass a 3rd class medical and get back into it.

    Maybe that's what you should do when you retire.
    Fly parts around the state for us....
    Get all those cheap barely used parts from California.....
