Greeeeeeeeeeeat, Just stepped outside for a smoke, and Mother Nature is making a skating rink.

morning Rick. evnin Dave.

Don't you have the day off Rick?

Morning Jeff
Yeah, Right, Sure, My boss told us he wanted one of us to volunteer to work tomorrow. I gave him one of my long winded, high dollar word answers. He may still be thinking if I said yes or no.

work new years day?

you could try telling him you plan on getting blasted tonight but would be happy to have the cab drop you off at work in the morning in stead of home.

Besides taking a few phone calls, I haven't worked since Dec 18th. if you don't call renovating work. time to do some painting in the room where I just finished all the wood panelling. Wife painted most of it before she left for home and I just have to do the last bit.

Okay Ricks latest project. Being a mechanic it is easy for me to get my hands on airbags and bearings, I think I am gonna create some redneck Claymores

Morning, lads! Preparing for the great New Years Rumble?

Not really. Staying in.

Doubt I will be awake to see it. The new year doesn't do much for me since I quit drinking.

I hear you, guys. I am like a dog. Its just a noisy menace.

Holy Ice layer Batman. It took me 1:20 to drive 21 miles. I just love ice.

that's the spirit!

hei Livi.
when are you coming up to Jãmtland?
I'm nearly a swede now. been here for the past 2 weeks solid.

morning guys,

just checking in, busy busy.
Engine drop on its way!

All right, g-man!

Hey! Usually at around Easter. Unfortunately I don´t think we will be able to go this year. I start a new job middle of March and immediate vacation probably looks bad.

well that's too bad. you'll have to drop by and take a look at the new place next time you come up.

I'm heading home now. we are hosting the anual neighbours new years dinner this year and my wife has been home getting everything ready alone (I've been working too - there's not even a couch in this house yet). I need to get back and help out with the last of the preparations. not to mention a shower and a shave.

happy new year to all you cats. have a good one.

jeff

OMFG, I don't believe this, my boss has decided that we should be open tomorrow. I think it is time for me to evaluate my options.............................fast

Mornin boys.

Rick, the one thing I hate more than snow is freezing rain.

New Years day is a LEGAL holiday. Will he pay you overtime for the entire day? Is the shop that busy?

I am a flat rate employee, so no holiday pay, no overtime, nothing. And no we are frigging dead. I will do more work on Peggy today than anything.
I am sure my boss has no idea how mad I am right now, I doubt he would survive looking at me the wrong way right now. I am to the point where I don't care about the consequences of my actions.
I have attained a level of pissed off that I have not seen in years. This will not end well.
