if i get my shit together the whole ifs setup on my truck is coming off this winter lol

 

HELL YEAH

If you're redoing other stuff, let me know

Hoping to have a truck in my hands by then so I can use as a reference for making shit

 

ash keeps telling me im gonna get it done this winter sooo… well see lol

 

Ha! I wish… Maybe if I ever schmooze my way in to enough work to take this full time (or more likely get fed up enough at work to “retire”)

 

Who's to say you can't get one just for hobbyist reasons

 

retire? im already tired now

 

work is always like “you sound sick again? use as many sick days as you need” and im like i dont think you understand that if i did i wouldnt be working at all

 

i think prices are gonna dip a bit, ive been seeing a few local ones that seem reasonably priced sitting and sitting

was looking at camry comps and im surprised that they arent moving at $2-3k

 

Yeah trucks have been lingering around the $5k to 7.5k for extended cab 4x4's around here.

The single cabs I've been seeing though are either super clean (and want a lot) or they're Prerunners.

 

Forgetting the price tag I would need to talk to Amber out of her parking space in the garage… I think that may be her last little bit of sanity in this ADHD flurry of outfitting the shop…

 

I feel that in my bones!

I tried taking two days of PTO for my unofficial sister-in-law‘s wedding and got volunteered for a special project that will fuck my entire weekend, took so many calls from a panicked chief engineer for something that isn’t even my teams responsibility that I literally had to tell him “this will be the last time I respond to this matter please continue to work this requirement through (name)” and got surprise pulled into a meeting with our compliance team over poor planning by one of our programs that dictated actions by someone who was on my team before I took over and is no longer with the company!

It was so nice to relax and unwind for a few days

 

When you retire, you still end up finding ways to be busy

 

You could spend all day making sourdough bread for instance
idk why it looks like a Jack O Lantern but it definitely taste better than one

 

Well, I’m terrified… but give me about 4 ounces of some rosemary butter and he won’t be laughing at me any longer!!

 

LFG!!!!!

 

Something tells me it's got a 22R under the hood too

 

Shop upgrades are the best

 

I've never had a job where I accrue as many sick days as I do vacation. So between the two right now I've got like a month and a half which feels very odd to me

 

Here in CA they just call it all "PTO" or paid time off

So whether it's a vacation, or you're legitimately sick AF, you use some PTO

 

I wouldn't mind something like that. Thankfully I have a millennial boss and she doesn't really care what gets filed under what. Clearly I don't use either of them :/
