    Look at it this way ALWAYS...

    ...you have been given an opportunity to relax. You can either reset your 70 OR you can push back the clock to be in position to start running HARD on recap hours. It will be good for you next week. I just have a feeling.

    True, but I really began honing those skills at TA...lol.

    Ugh, The Purple Turd...that truck nearly sent me to the nut house, who knew at the time it'd only get worse.

    Now that's funnier than hell right there.

    Good point. Oh yeah, I'm kicked back and relaxing right now for sure. Next week will take care of itself. For right now it's just taking it easy and waiting it out.
     
    Big Don and Lepton1 Thank this.

    That's the way to look at it. Take the long run. Some weeks the settlement check is low, some weeks you start thinking about getting that in frame done. If you have down time on the road, it's simply stocking hours for the next push. Enjoy those moments. Hopefully at a comfortable place... with showers, good food, and good conversation.

    Well at least you got out of the PNW. The last few days have been a bit of a PIA. Warms up just enough to make the cement they call snow slush, then over night, freeze it and snow some more on top.

    Was real greasy this morning.

    The Elks Lodge. BPOE Biggest Pricks On Earth. :p That one was told to me by a long-standing member of the Elks Lodge.

    Now I don't believe I've ever heard of a Camel Lodge. But I wouldn't be surprised if there is something like that, in certain areas of the world.:D
