That's about where I'm at...need to do more myself!

 

Is your job physical at all? I'm running up and down stairs most days, so its not too bad for me

 

Some...I have to walk my loads and often I help the warehouse people build pallets and go out and help load the planes couple times a week. We have a gym at work, just need to get in there more often.

 

And the warehouse is downstairs from our load planning office...so yeah I'm probably up and down those stairs 10 to 20 times a night.

 

Your 100% nightshifts eh??

I did those for awhile once, I hated it, but then again, i was also working 18 on 3 off then

 

Yep...but I don't mind at all...I want no part of the day shift drama...did a lot of that on Active Duty as a Superintendent...I like being a "worker bee" now. No stress...the younger guys can play all the games and deal with the political BS. Retirement check gives me the financial ability to do that. Add it all up, and I'm making more than I did on active duty, with 99% less stress. I'm a happy camper!

 

Morning folks, headed out on the bike this morning. Going to Okeecobee, looking to get about 40 miles in today. Pics later, but no newspaper, you'll have to trust me.

 

Good Morning Dave!

I for one, will take your word on it! Have a great ride...looking forward to those pics!

 

Ahh k I gotcha, Yea theres definitely waay less stress on nights, I chatted all last night, this night I printed off about 160 pages worth of banking cause I've gotta start my taxes Silly government

Enjoy the ride!

 

Kristi spoils me...she takes care of all the financial stuff. She tells me what forms to give her...does her magic with it all...then tells me where to sign. I'm a lucky man in that regard. God Bless that woman...don't know what I'd do without her!

What's the time diff between us? Does your relief show in like 35 mins?

 

Yup, its 7am here right now, I think your an hour behind me.

Lucky bastard lol, I hate dealing with stuff like this, logistics in general is a b*tch. I had to deal with a bunch of custom bullsh*t when I ordered all my recent performance parts because the value of the shipment caused a red flag.

 

Two hours behind you...Cali/west coast is 1 hour behind you.

 

How's that cold? You haven't mentioned it tonight, so I'm guessing the Nyquil + sleep took the edge off it. I'll catch you a little later and probably tonight for sure. I'm gonna go look outside and see if the northern lights are out again this morning.
Take Care Marcel!

 

Gotta show me up eh?


Have a good ride man!

Mornin guys, dave, marcel, Rob

 

Good Morning Chris!

Dude, your sleep pattern is about as messed up as mine. What'd you get, like 5 to 6 hours?

 

Got the Cat Eye computer sometime last fall I think, looking to upgrade to a Garmin 500 or 800, gps, cadence, heart rate, little suckers are around 200-300 dollars US, you can program in % of max heart rate targets and all kinds of crap. Plug it into your PC and download and analyze your rides. Then I will find out if I slack too much on my rides.

Can't let these young bastards out do me

 

Yeah, didn't really nod off until 2, I have to meet my tree guys on the island in a couple of hours, traffic will be heavy. Poked my head out the back door and there's a light rain, tree guy said he'll text me if it's a no-go, he said anything short of pouring and he's working. Yeah some maybe four hours sleep?

 

Morning

 

Sigh, I need to pick up a decent used bike. I may try Craigslist.

 

Climbing trees, with chain saws and stuff, in the rain...that's interesting. Those guys are amazing in my opinion...never had the agility or balls for that kind of work.

When does that next big job start up? Or is this part of it?
