    Yeah ACH, Just venting I guess? Friday was an easy day for me but lots of sitting around Home Depots! Over 5 hours at Hempstead, and then when I got back in at 8;40 they wanted me to go sit at Jericho for hours! I said screw that, on a Friday night I'm about burnt-out! Brought that sucker back at 10:30! Hopefully a nice weekend and this short week will calm me alittle, or not! ha ha Its BBQ season after all! Crazey-out!

    Yeah, I saw those. Technology has advanced quite a bit over the years. You can hold certain gears and manually shift them with the flick of the wrist. Still not my thing.

    Here's a good one from today

    "Sir do you have a lift gate?"
    Your looking at it
    "Where I don't see it on your truck?"
    I'm the lift gate (while doing a curling motion)
    Next thing I know they have a forklift all of a sudden.
     
    superpet39 and road_runner Thank this.
