First week on the job

Lots of corn and cattle statues at the museum,lol.I don't have any trouble getting Ray off the couch,he doesn't watch much TV and he's more ambitious then I am.I wish I had his motivation.He goes to work every day and hasn't missed one day of work the 2 yrs we've been together.Which is a good thing,he pays my bills,lol.I blame him for making me so lazy,lol.Far as our first date,I did pay for dinner and the eats at the movie.He paid for the movie and the fair.Sure beats the bar for a first date.[QUOTE="Hang - Man";4183757]OH NO Ray set the bar way to high, now you have a problem getting him off of the couch right ?

First date should have just been to the county fair -If not free -he should have tossed you over the fence in a nice concealed spot.
That would have set the bar nice and low so you wont be expecting any complicated dates like the one you just posted. .................................

You have a museum in Iowa --what the heck is in there ?--Barbed Wire ? :smt044[/QUOTE]

 

Why should I you're doing a fine job telling the world,lol.Bigmouth,lol.

 

Only thing I truly hate about this job is the loading.For now till I get over fear of heights the plant staff will be loading for me.You have to reach to get the shoot to put in the tank and im always afaid i'll lose my balance.Any of you asphalt guys know an easy way of doing it?

 

who said anything about stopping every couple hrs?

 

I know how to do it but that chute is heavy from all the asphalt.Then there's a bucket under it to catch all the drippings,that alone must weigh 25 lbs.May not seem heavy but it is when trying to grab it with one hand and you have to reach for it.There was another driver loading the same time so he put the chute in the tank and took it out.Its not unusual for ppl that has a fear loading.Linda told me if any of the plant ppl refuse to help me she wants to hear about it.I guess that's part of their job.So im not the only one that doesn't wanna load.Ill close the hatch but loading nope.[QUOTE="semi" retired;4186443]Hey patty, did you figure out your loading chute dilemma? You'd think there would be some kind gizmo to lower the chute into the tank. Maybe your 5th wheel hook? I'm sure it's a mess, and they have those black vertical stripes on the sides for a reason.(spillage) Be careful up there![/QUOTE]
