Spent the day fixing town trucks. The Mack headed out at 4am and blew a hyd. hose right off the bat. Then the hyd. pump on the 1 ton rubbed a hole in the radiator hose. Got them both up and running and gave them a hand finishing up plowing and sanding.

Why do they always break right when you need them the most?

I did get home in time for turkey so all is well.

Well I got to buy 2/3 a tank of gas and drive 99 miles each way to fix her computer. She did feed me thanksgiving dinner and sent us home with several days of leftovers. I love turkey leftovers.

I had to back up her iPad and iPhone as well. Pretty easy task.

Work today and my wife is preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for just the four of us tonight so we get to repeat yesterday. At least there isn't a drive home today.

My wife and I had Thanksgiving with her Mom yesterday. Tonight, the two of us are making pies and tomorrow we'll prepare a small Thanksgiving just for ourselves.

Well there is one less highly trained Subi tech in the world today. I am not a number and refuse to become one so when they called my bluff I played my hand. I doubt they thought I would walk. I hope they liked how my a55 looked as I went out the door

i think i might start building an AR, just for fun. i figure that if i buy $100 worth of parts every month, it will fly right under my wife's radar.

your not supposed to tell them where they could stick their job just before Christmas Rick, you could have at least waited until New Years.
What did Beth have to say about that?

mmmm

Hope it all works out for you.

Beth was surprised I lasted this long, she knows the stress and anger I have been dealing with at this place. She is surprised I haven't knocked someones teeth down their throat, and actually so am I. I have been walking around looking for a fight for a while now, and really any stranger would have done.
It was bad.
I can lay down until April before I really have to worry, but I won't. I am going to look to get out of the industry. I have a rather interesting offer on my plate right now.
