Good morning rob, what's going on?

 

Still on leave ... Fell asleep in front of TV earlier for about 3 hrs. Now my old age and mid- shift norm has me wide awake.

My poor internal clock must spend half it's time asking "WTF are we doing now?"

You looking forward to starting the new job? I'm glad that all worked out for you; know the old boss was a huge frustration for you.

 

I didn't take my sleepy aid last night. Woke up at 3:30 and couldn't fall back asleep. Stupid body lol

I am looking forward to starting the new job, it's been a long time coming and thanks

 

Morning Rob and B ...had the same problem yesterday B was up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep....slept in this morning till 5:30...
How's the knee B...hate to see you show up at the new job wounded
Rob I hope you enjoy the rest of the vacation...it's hard for the body to break old habits

 

Morning Ken

You must be getting close to your next trip IIRC?

 

Morning ken,

The knee is good, was just a cool flesh wound. Nail pierced the skin and came out about an inch below that.

 

Will it leave a nice scar?

... Chicks dig scars.

 

Lol, i think the friction/heat activated adhesive on the nail helped seal it up nicely

 

So, you wounded yourself and patched it up at the same time. That's mad skillz, yo!

 

Lol!

 

15 More days and it's off to the Caymans for 2 weeks...diving and relaxing

good news on the knee...gotta be careful with nailers...using a framer and fired one off and missed the stud and broke a window across the street from where I was...

...

....minimal blood loss is good....

 

Ya I've never had an issue before and my labourer was below me watching me work. He didn't know where the nail shot from because he saw me aiming the nailer at the end of the rafter. There was also stepped up wall on the outside of the spot I was nailing so it shouldn't have come through

I've watched guys shot at seagulls with the nailers lol

 

I'm planning to stay for a while. It's a pretty physical job, I'm on my feet moving at a quick pace all the time. I come home with sore feet and legs, but they are fine after a few hours of sleep. I'm pretty sure my body will adjust quickly. I do enjoy the work, there is a lot of older, temperamental machinery that needs to be "coddled". I could do without it being midnight to 8 AM though, hopefully I can get on to a more reasonable shift soon.

Thanks Craig.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

 

Invest in some good comfy boots Yeah, you'll adjust in a little while.

happy Saturday all
