Thanks...I seen her braggin...I thought I'd do some too. That was no joke...I was completely wiped out at the end of the shift. It was me and one other guy, we took shorter and fewer breaks, and when our supervisor saw what kind of run we were on, he made sure we got our stock deliveries in a timely fashion. A normal shift is around 700-750 tires...we made 1003. There's no extra money involved...just a t-shirt and a measure of respect from the rest of the guys.

So... I'm eating solo; two friends couldn't make it due to last-minute car trouble. I might've gone to get them, but I have a two-seater. I modified my hatch area in my car...

:oops:


So I'll share with you, threadpals, my lunch of chorizo and scrambled eggs, refried beans and corn tortillas... from a fun local restaurant called the Cafe 50's.

:yes:

I can see how that kind of build performance would generate respect among your fellow builders.

Good job!

We are back.. :D

It clouded up.. and it started to sprinkle while there.. it did stop... and was ok when we left.. a few miles from home it did start again.. but nothing serious yet. We got home before we got wet.

hmm a little dark chocolate..88% with some black cherry juice.. :D

and since no one has been here in the last 5 or so hours.. I ain't going to bother hanging around.. :roll: :D

Now get a freakin' haircut already! Last thing I wanna see is a scalped-by-machine Johnny.
Besides, you'd look ever-so-much more handsome in your already-stunning avatar pic if it weren't for that possum hanging off the back-o'-yer-heayd. :lady:

:dancing

I've been rough on the poor guy today...
